Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Nice pixel art and mature story are hampered by design choices, unresponsive controls, and a significant lack of polish. Only recommended at a heavy discount. Gameplay is pretty standard for a 2D adventure game. You travel the land, complete quests, defeat enemies, and collect loot. You don’t have any map, but the game is mostly linear so you don’t really need it. You play two characters: the main character, blacksmith Silver, and her hunter daughter, Nora, available only at various points in the game. While Nora is swift with her bow and can knock out enemies from a distance, Silver is slow and cannot attack quickly. In fact, pressing the button will not provide any results. Attacking is mainly about rhythm because you need to wait a little before each attack to connect them into a three-hit combo. Your combat is also assisted by a single heavy attack that takes a second to recharge and is pitifully weak, as well as a roll to avoid danger. Combat in general isn’t that fun, partially because you will have the same strength and weapon from start to finish, and fight against same enemies. There’s contact damage, and you can only hit one enemy even when they’re right on top of …36 found this helpful

Hammer of Pain is a grim, emotionally heavy, and surprisingly ambitious 2D action-adventure that combines dark fantasy storytelling, Souls-like combat philosophy, atmospheric exploration, and pixel-art worldbuilding into a bleak medieval journey driven as much by emotional desperation as by violence and survival. Developed by SleepingFrog and published by Baked Games S.A., the game immediately distinguishes itself through its oppressive atmosphere and melancholic tone, presenting a world that feels exhausted, broken, and permanently scarred by suffering. Rather than focusing purely on heroic fantasy or fast-paced combat spectacle, Hammer of Pain builds its identity around themes of loss, family, endurance, and the emotional cost of surviving inside a collapsing civilization. While the project undeniably struggles with technical roughness and uneven gameplay execution at times, it still succeeds because of the sincerity behind its artistic vision and the emotional weight carried by its dark fantasy world. The story centers around Silver, an aging blacksmith who becomes trapped within a brutal journey across ruined kingdoms alongside his daughter Nora. The world surrounding them is …8 found this helpful
(Positive review because I think it's just not for me.) Right from the start the game seems to be broken. You have a cursor but the mouse does pretty much nothing, even in menus. All of the UI is a bit of a pain to navigate, it's not fun at all. I didn't really play enough of the game to properly review the gameplay but the combat was iffy and I did not care to continue after that tutorial. Could be a fun game, I just don't think it's for me.5 found this helpful
