Epocria

Epocria is an abandoned early access 2D retro pixel top down shooter/brawler with lightweight crafting and survival mechanics. Gameplay consists of right clicking on things to harvest materials then crafting things, and fighting various animals. The game was abandoned roughly 6 months after launch and hasn't been updated in almost a year. It blew past the developers commitment to complete the game without any acknowledgement of their failure. There's no reliable indication the game will ever be completed, which is a reason for gamers to avoid this. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.

For a game marked as early access, it is surprisingly fleshed out. This game was made by a skilled developer who is very dedicated to his craft, and I've been enjoying my time playing this so far. I started my adventure in a survival world, and quickly became the target of many ghosts and a mushroom. After quickly dying I made a discovery world and found out there was a very expansive quest line; which following helped me to gain a much better understanding of the game. I managed to build a home, and spam many torches around the perimeter for my safety. As well as take revenge on that same mushroom from the previous Survival world. I plan to explore more and get more in-depth with the quests, as well as try some boss fights soon.

This game is super cool and very expansive especially fro being developed by one person.
