About Daedalic Complex
Daedalic Complex is an adventure, RPG, dungeon-crawling game with elements of enjoyable storytelling and harsh survival. In this game, a player is required to find an exit for each stage by means of meeting certain conditions such as triggering all the switches hidden separately within the map.
The player takes a role of one of the prisoners in Gildersvine, a kingdom in its prosperity through highly-developed mining industry. One day, a chance to walk free out of the imprisonment facility is given to the prisoner, in condition of winning a certain game held within Daedalic Complex where one has to find a piece of pardoning paper hidden deep inside the facility. The prisoner had no other options but to accept the offer, because there was no other way left.
Still, practically every single thing in Daedalic Complex works against the protagonist(s) on the quest for his/her own freedom. Withstanding cruel level-designs of each stage, exhausting combats with hideous monsters, running-low resources, and grueling survival conditions, the one involved in this cruel game has to find every possible means of achieving his/her ultimate goal, the pardoning paper. Even there exists a moment of making a crucial choice where one's fate, be it seeing the light of outside once again or meeting the certain doom, should be determined.
To do so, one is required to explore, scavenge, and thus survive this whole Daedalic Complex. Dare to explore deep inside the dungeon, but be cautious of your remaining scarce resources and companions while doing so. Gather all the things needed for survival, but expect that none of them will be given freely nor easily. Find the exit that leads you out of each stage, but still, you will have to survive first.
Explore, scavenge, and survive the Complex to see the light once again!
What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players criticize this RPG Maker game as generic and low-effort, lacking originality compared to other similar titles and relying on stock assets and canned content. Common complaints include poor English translation, outdated visuals that don't scale well to modern displays, and the overall sense that it's a hastily assembled project using the RPG Maker toolkit without significant creative polish. Most reviewers suggest it might be worth trying only if heavily discounted or as part of a bundle.
Rpg game quite generic and in my view does not bring anything new to what is seen in similar rpgmaker games, in general it is not bad, I recommend it on offer or come in some economic bundle.9 found this helpful
RPG Maker strikes again! Daedalic Complex is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned/stock assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction and some super craptastic English translation. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. This really is just a garbage asset flip from RPG maker with a godawful story about being in a prison looking for papers... this is so bad it could cause the entire gaming industry to question whether it was worth any of it, from Space Invaders to Mass Effect, if they had known this would be the result.
