✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's charming art style, interesting story premise, and solid action-RPG mechanics that can be completed in a few hours, with some calling it a worthwhile indie gem. However, common complaints center on technical issues like invisible walls blocking progression, unbalanced difficulty spikes where enemies can one-shot kill, limited weapon variety with minimal upgrades, frustrating melee hitboxes, and insufficient checkpoint placement or healing options that make the experience feel incomplete and rough around the edges.

[h1] Looking for a head [/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823210654 [h1] STORY [/h1] The hero is raised from the grave by a necromancer. But where is our head? Let's do this search [h1] GAMEPLAY [/h1] The gameplay is a mixture of ARPG and platforming. We run through sufficiently large levels, kill enemies and develop the hero. There are a lot of types of opponents and they are quite stupid. Sometimes you manage to shoot them without the slightest danger to yourself. The hero can fight with shooting or melee. There is also an acceleration, it can knock down medium-sized enemies. There is a beautiful mode of slowing down time when killing. Consider the pros and cons of the game, sum up. [h1] PROS: [/h1] + Simple but nice graphics. + Good music and sound accompaniment. + Large detailed levels. + Good character development system. + Interesting to shoot. + Sometimes good battles. [h1] CONS: [/h1] - Sometimes the enemies are very easy to defeat and they can't do anything. - In some places the game freezes. [h1] CONCLUSIONS [/h1] A good little game, a combination of ARPG and platforming. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=28232105…

It's a really fun action RPG, although there are few rough spots. + Love the character designs + Interesting story + Shortish game (can be completed in 2 or 3 hours) - Super annoying invisible walls are everywhere, which prevents me from shooting enemies or getting to certain places - There's only 1 weapon, with only 1 upgrade option - RPG mechanics are simple, and don't provide any real "help" to the character - Slightly unbalanced, some characters can kill you with one shot, and leveling up doesn't seem to increase your damage output at all. - Environments were a bit generic for me Overall I really loved playing this little gem.

There are good things in here, but unfortunately bad as well. I have to give it a thumbs down for now, even though I don't really want to. This should be in EA and need some more polishing for one. A better checkpoint system is also needed and healing options besides the rare potion drops. Melee hit boxes are also a bit frustrating.

This game is real bad, like mega super bad. Maybe that means it's kinda fun because you can laugh at the bad but its also very confusing and sloppily put together. I was hoping to meet Devon and earn 1 out of the 5 achievements of this game, to become part of that elite group that has met the Devon. But after meeting him I didn't even get the achievement, whats up with that? Don't buy this game.

This Indie Game is a solid 3D Souls Lite style game. While the graphics are simple and a bit old-school, they are beautiful. There is a variety of enemies to fight who aren't just asset swaps, but they behave distinctly. You can upgrade various aspects of your character, and the story is intriguing. The voice acting for the main character is good, although the number of things he says is somewhat limited. There are several quality of life upgrades I would recommend to the developer, but this game is a solid B+ in my opinion, and well worth the 79 cents I paid for it during the Steam Winter Sale! My list of recommendations to the developer: - Default the mouse sensitivity lower, as it can feel a little motion-sick-y - Optional 1st person view (for some fights or tight canyons) - Waypoint marker to indicate where to go, or a compass that at least tells you the rough direction to head - Putting the upgrades in a tree might make the potent ones feel more valuable. You could also make the cost of double-upgrading the same stat increase - Audio Slider for SFX vs Voice so I could crank up what the character says - Some indication of length (like a table of contents for chapters, or % c…

This game is unfortunately extremely mediocre. It has an interesting presentation, but it also has the bare minimum. The basic abilities are shoot, punch, throw bombs, dash, and in late game, slow time Punch and Dash use a stamina meter Shoot uses bullets, of which you'll have to reload, but you can reload infinitely Bombs are limited and can be regained by picking up more or dying Slow time uses its own meter is shares with another ability to see hidden objects Now the gameplay is okay, it's just not great. For instance, shooting is extremely basic. You get one gun to shoot from that fires one bullet at a time. You do extra damage for head shots and can detonate bombs by shooting them, but that's about it. There's no charged shots or multishots or any other kind of trick-shot, No different guns or different ammo, just a pistol that shoots normally. You do have to lead your shots since bullets aren't super fast like in most shooters, but that's about all that was interesting. As for bombs, I never did get a handle on whether there was a special trick to throwing them, so they would often get in my way since they can also hurt the player. Melee was okay, in that it was a…
