About Avenging Angel
Overview:
Avenging Angel is a story-driven FPS/Adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic steam-powered world.
The story takes place in Northern City States, in a post-apocalyptic steampunk setting, roughly 10000 years from our current day and age, where 21st Century has not only passed from history to legend, but also from legend into myth. You are an Associate of the Inventors Guild, a freelancer/adventurer, dropped on an island in the Atlantic Ocean on a routine maintenance job. As you venture through the island, it becomes clear that there is nothing remotely routine about this mission as you are pulled into the web of personal, international, as well as metaphysical, conflict and conspiracy. Decipher forbidden history, learn about forgotten tragedy, and in the end, learn something about yourself.
Key Features:
- A story-driven adventure FPS set in a steampunk world.
- Interact with NPCs (with full voice over) to take on quests to progress in the story or discover new locations on your own.
- Hours of gameplay.
- Explore, interact, and fight your way through the island to discover its history and purpose.

- A multitude of enemies: deranged automatons, malfunctioning cyborgs, and science projects gone wrong.
- Equip and mod your "Goggle Glass" to discover hints and secrets invisible to the naked eye.

This is what people said about Avenging Angel demo:
Dark Amber Softworks have created a beautiful world, full of mystery and wonder. -Calum Fraser, Alpha Beta Gamer
...But I don´t mind having a lot of Steampunk games around, as long as the games are really good and well made.
And that seems to be the case with Dark Amber Softworks Steampunk action/adventure game "Avenging Angel". -Robin E, The Gaming Ground
Steampunk Beauty -Flog, Are You Gaming?
...What I do know is that this is a rather good looking FPS that is set in a steampunk world and is boasting such features as dual-wielding and an “interactive story” that includes a large amount of exploration. -Matt Chelen, Regretzer
A great addition to your FPS collection. -Alexandru Niculaita, Softpedia
Avenging Angel is a very pretty single-player first person action adventure game. -@dakonblackrose
Here is a game that really comes from the heart. -Moni, Zockwork Orange

✦ AI summary
Players report the game is riddled with game-breaking bugs that prevent completion, including broken weapon switching, missing HUD elements, non-functional doors, invisible walls, and quest tracking failures that stop progress in the main story. The developers appear to have abandoned the project over a year ago with no substantial patches, leaving the game in an unfinished and unpolished state despite its interesting steampunk setting, intriguing premise, and decent crafting system.
sadly it has a lot of game breaking bugs. sometimes you cant switch your weapons anymore, then you have to load a savegame to make it work again. same for the hud that sometimes just disappears. doors that wont open, weapons sometimes just dont shoot. you run alot against "invisible walls" the idea of the game is pretty good, but sadly its really poor executed.8 found this helpful
The game is one big broken mess, that was abandoned by the developer almost a year ago. Cons: - An awful lot of bugs including plot-stopping ones that prevent you from finishing the main story and the sidequests. THE GAME CANNOT BE COMPLETED IN ITS CURRENT STATE! - Graphic glitches that will send you out of bounds a lot. - The occasional game freeze that forces you to shut the application. - Awful and partially broken quest system that triggers quest stages every time you enter a map and doesn't track your progress properly, resulting in partially broken achievements. Pros: - Very nice Steampunk setting - Interesting backgroundstory - Crafting/modding system to create more weapons and improve them7 found this helpful
This is an FPS adventure/puzzle/exploration game with a lot of potential. Unfortunately it has been in EA for around 2 years and it's evidently abandoned by the developers. The 3D engine is using Unity (this should be warning enough) and the developers did an okay job but the game lacks polish and is very rough around the edges. Game looks good in 4K but has few to no fidelity options. Art assets are primitive for 2017. What gameplay there is doesn't distract from the premise of the game, part FPS, part puzzle, not unlike Deus Ex and Fallout. Unfortunately the developers abandoned the game - no patches for well over a year with any substance. There is almost no chance the game will be finished - the developers have dumped it on Early Access to cut their losses and run.7 found this helpful
THE STEAM AWARDS RETURNING THIS DECEMBER YOU NOMINATED THIS GAME FOR: When is this game going to be finished? EDITED on 06/19/2018: So its finally in a finished state and released, or is? I'm going to just make a few comments and still keep my review as recommended. There is a major amount of small bugs and the game has crashed on me an hour in. Starting a new game, I'm able to jump past the start mission drop zone in the airship and then leap into the open sky, nothing blocks you from doing this. The front area has no openings that allow you to do this, only the rear. There is lots of spelling mistakes, very easy ones to spot with double "a a" for example, those I can ignore and are easily fixed. The roman numeral that is being refered to is wrong, XIIXXIMMXII is a wrong format. I'm not sure yet if this is on purpose or the developer doesn't know how the system works. Controls are a mess when using a xbox controller. You can't swap the Y axis so I can't play with a controller to test it some more. I did try to change some of the binding controls and I noticed that the left and right triggers were not allocated, so I tried to set to them Left and Right attack but then …4 found this helpful
Feels like a highly rough proof of concept. Barely playable, and devoid of any sort of entertainment value.3 found this helpful
Game has dead ends... 6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great game-play. 4 of 5 great story average game-play. 3 of 5 average story average game-play. 2 of 5 play only if it's your favourite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do. 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist. -1 of 5 avoid. Avenging Angel score is -1 of 5.
