"Dark Maidens" is a badly made amateurish side scrolling 2D brawler that objectively failed based on the SteamDB player counts. What do you do in the game? Well, you fight some stuff but there's no depth to the combat and no compelling reason to play, especially given how bad the "art" is. At least it's not pixelcrap? In terms of visuals, this features really godawful "babby's first Wacom tablet" tier "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. The deplorably bad visuals here come across as an insult to gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging a completely delusional... and don't laugh, even though it is funny... $12 USD for this.

Its not as bad as it could have been, but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for this and the game was free to play. The voice acting is okay. It's kind of impressive it even has voice acting, especially with the amount of voice acting that it has. It is also kind of funny at times. That said the game itself is not very impressive and could use a lot more variety. As it is, it is extremely repetitive, even for such a short game

The game is very, very bad, the controls are clunky, the combat system is complete garbage, the graphics are poor. How are there so many positive reviews when it's impossible to play?
