Before The Last Hour

Game ceased updates in 2022 and is horribly unfinished, what's there is *functional* but so much is missing. do not purchase if you want a balanced, polished, finished game.

Abandonware scam.

EDIT: Below is the review I had 2 years ago about this. The developers have abandoned this game and vanished completely, while they're sitting playing other video games. Pathetic how this turned out. I knew one of the developers personally and they have even ghosted further communication in real life. OLD REVIEW: This game turns the idea of slay the spire and makes it into a genre thats absolutely amazing. Yes it is still in early access, and there may be small text bugs/ect, but it does not outshine what this game will become once they are done making it. fantastic job with this project guys. Pros: amazing strategy in the card system, very good story, great world immersion, and the difficulty for the game is for sure high in my opinion which is a plus for me, for some it may be a con. Cons: It is in early access, so I know there may be small bugs here and there. Small QoL changes but it really isnt a chase away factor.

I'm sorry, but no. Not for 25 effin' dollars in an EA. I've already ran into two game-breaking bugs (both involving the shop). Everything is EXTREMELY glitchy, I've had one crash. The shop is a complete sh*t show. So many glitches/menu errors. Honestly too: the loot system is rather bunk. You should not be able to "lose loot quality" based on a damned coin toss. Mission are NOT worth doing. There only seem to be about 5 enemies (not including the 4 or so bosses) (beast looks just like one of them) After 4 runs.. I've seem maybe 2/3 different cards from the base ones. Some artifacts don't work correctly or if you buy something.. sometimes it never appears in your inventory. Many things are in french in random places, which is fine for the most part. Where it is not fine is when it applies to cards/skills/passive/explanations - I have no idea what multiple things do. The codex (THE CODEX) doesn't explain any status effects/buffs. Oh joy. The loading times can be odd and excessive, most especially seen before/after battles and the initial start up. Some people can't even play now due to startup issues. I had to uninstall it twice, and move the EXE before I could get it to work. …

Game won't even start. Start menu is bugged. Sad because the game looks great in trailers and I wish I could actually play it.

Animations and ambience are great. The game itself? Sheer garbage, maybe if it hadn't been abandoned it could've become something. This... this is just lame.
