DevilShaft: TheTower

I want to say this is the worst game ever made, but then I pause to consider where this game stands among the hundreds of other "worst game ever" that I've played. I have concluded that trying to figure out the "worst" of all the bad games is like picking up different pieces of poo in the off-leash dog park and smelling them all, trying to figure out the worst. Well, if you follow me, they're all crap so who cares which is the worst? Let's start with the fact that on a GTX 1070Ti this game runs the way Quake I used to run on a 386 with no graphics card. No instructions, no settings, no controller rebinding, nothing. The game starts and the tutorial tells you how to walk forward with the Thumbstick. Great! Next you meet an enemy and the floating tutorial text says to attack the enemy you see before you. None of the gamepad inputs will cause the attack... so what's going on? All the other gamepad inputs work... Jumping... crawling... rolling... but not attack? Ok fine, I have a Steam Controller so I'll rebind the (X) key to LMB so attack works. So I walk into the enemy and start hammering the attack button. There is no skill to combat, no managing distance, no anticipating or avoi…

Buggy and feels unfinished. The first time I played it I got stuck at 52 m since I could not climb up a small wall and the second time it failed to load anyhing above the 51 m level. Might have been playable if the developer had put some time into playtesting it.
