What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Dark rune is a 2D platformer that players find visually appealing with nice backgrounds, but most agree the gameplay is overly basic and the price is too high for what's offered. Common complaints include technical issues like the game running too fast, frustrating final boss mechanics with unfair hit detection, game-crashing bugs, and generally uninspired movement and controls, though a few platformer enthusiasts feel it has potential. Players suggest waiting for a sale or skipping it entirely unless you're specifically looking for a short, budget platformer experience.

Some shady stuff going on here. [olist] [*]Game price. "Dark rune" (F for the proper capitalization) looks fine but way too expensive for what it offers, a very basic and boring 2D plateformer. [*]The reviews. All the reviews look super generic. At the moment, the game got exactly 10 reviews, requirement to have a score. [*]The aesthetics. The backgrounds look great but feel out of place, somehow. The quality isn't matching the utterly basic gameplay. [*]Technical problem. None of the reviews praising the game say anything about this issue, which was reported by another person already: the game runs too fast, see [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/2313960/discussions/0/3821907263103386353/]here[/url] (I'm having flashbacks of the Fallout 2 map problem on modern CPUs). [/olist] Look... Even though I have no evidence at the moment, everything is pointing out at the game being an asset flip, not to mention the potential reviews manipulation. In case it wasn't clear already: [b][u]RED FLAGS ALL OVER THE PLACE, STAY AWAY![/u][/b]

I'm just one mission away from completing the game and it keeps on crashing during the final boss. Just when i'm about to become a ghost.. Also seems almost impossible to dodge the orbits the last boss throws at you. It doesn't even need to hit you to actually hit you <.< It started kinda enjoyable, but because of these problems i need to down-vote.

tbh while its not bad, i just cant enjoy it, the movement, the gun, its just bad imo, the game could heavily improve, but for platformer lovers, maybe this could be a good game
