What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Paper Sorcerer is a pixel-art first-person dungeon crawler that players praise for its unique black-and-white art style, engaging storytelling, and classic party-based gameplay, though it suffers from significant technical issues including game-breaking menu bugs, tedious and unbalanced combat encounters, and several bugged achievements that frustrate the experience.

A beautifully crafted, pixel-art RPG with engaging storytelling, deep gameplay, and charming characters that create a memorable, atmospheric experience.3 found this helpful
I really wish I could recommend this game, but it's too rough around the edges for me to do so. I love the presentation, and it does scratch that classic first-person dungeon crawler itch, but there are so many better options out there at this point. There are a lot of minor bugs that, while nothing more than annoyances, add up. I had to make sure to save quite often when going back to the main town, as there were plenty of instances where the menu never appeared which forced me to quit out of the game and reload. This happened often enough that it became a bit frustrating to have to deal with. Thankfully I didn't lose much progress due to this, but if you weren't saving often enough you could lose hours of progress. Also, there are around seven achievements that are bugged. This isn't as big a deal for me, but if you're someone who enjoys hunting achievements, you'll never be able to unlock all of them here. I know the game is over twelve years old at this point which could be the cause of some of the odd bugs I encountered, but it's just not worth buying with the state it's in even at the low price point. I hate to say that, I really do. I did enjoy the game, but I simply canno…2 found this helpful
hey, i liked it. didnt finish it, but i liked it. would recommend for the price
Plainly speaking, this game is just not good. I was lured in by the interesting art style, but besides that, there is nothing else going on here. If your game is about combat only, make sure the combat is entertaining - instead, the combat here is basic, slow and tedious. The cherry on top is that you cannot quickly restart it or load the game. Have I mentioned there are no shortcuts for the combat ? Ugh! Bottom line, there are plenty of other, much better dungeon crawlers than this one, do yourself a favour and play them instead.
Man, I really wanted to like this game. I did for the first half of the game. But it's got some serious issues with bugs and balancing that get obnoxious in the endgame. [h3]The Good[/h3] [list] [*]The artstyle is interesting and unique. Everything is black and white and flat, giving the impression of pen and paper drawings [*]Classic 4-man party. Summon whatever style minion you want to customize [*]Lots of loot, lots of secrets [/list] [h3]The Bad[/h3] [list] [*]Fights are long, and there are lots of them. You will also likely either be extending fights on purpose to farm energy or you will return to the sanctuary often for heals. [*]Fights are pretty unbalanced. It's funny when 2 enemy clerics buff on the same turn (only works once), less funny when 3/4 of the party is killed turn 1 by overpowered endgame minions. [*]Most puzzles only have the illusion of creative choice, and you are punished for getting it wrong. Try the wrong key? Key's mangled, hope you didn't need it. One of your summons has a unique option to bypass the puzzle? Ha, didn't work. Why even have it as an option?? [*]Bugs are pretty common. Some are not a big deal, like uninteractable pots appearing …
