Dead Wells: The Devil Fragment

Yeah it's a bit janky and has some bugs, but this game has SOUL, a very fun and a bit silly one. It's actually incredible how it keeps surprising you with everything. It has a lot of weapons, but I don't mean reskins or anything like that, every weapon is different, with their own mechanics, combos and even upgrades that changes/adds things to the moveset, every time I found one it's a joy to see how it worked. Luckily, the weapons system is really fun thanks to the enemy variety, from normal cannon fodder to the big dangerous ones, so every encounter is interesting. Also the map design is well made, not too big to get lost and with shortcuts to backtrack, and it encourages you to find secrets everywhere. The jankyness is specially present on platforming, as sometimes collisions are weird on moving platforms, and hitboxes on bosses with a lot of projectiles can be tricky. Personally I had so much fun with everything else that it didn't affect much my experience. Overall, this is a gem, a lot of work and effort, like almost all enemies has a unique game over animation, a lot of humor with the story and the mechanics, apart from some decisions on a few bosses this is a really fun a…

Quite hard to get into due to the generally sluggish controls. However, it can get quite fun after you get past the first 4 or so areas. There are in game modifiers to make the game harder or easier which is nice. The humor is something I can get behind. Yeah :) Oh also there are a lot of bugs. Watch out for that.

Love this game, i played it when it first came out in demo then i played the demo i fell in love i do recemend this game if you like retro, but some of the level can be a bit bugy i still love it with all my heart

Good game. It has the juice but it is buggy, sometimes in good ways and sometimes in bad.

A fun, creative, goofy and also very janky souls-like with a lot of charm to it. The fact that nearly every enemy and cause of death has it's own unique animation is both impressive and makes me want to die (positive) to every new enemy. I'm not sure if I'd call Dead Wells a hidden gem but it absolutely deserves more people giving it a try. The weapons absolutely were one of the highlight with some of them being traditional fantasy options and others being complete nonsense, fantastic variety of choices. The combo system and movesets are rewarding to learn, though some weapon's inputs feel either bugged or far too difficult to pull off. You can absolutely stomp enemies once you get into the flow. The combat had a good fast paced flow to it, and while there isn't really builds, mixing passives, abilities and weapons was still fun to experiment with. Exploration is rewarding as each chest you found just makes you overall stronger, you wont run into issues you would in say Dark Souls where you just constantly find things you can't use. Some of the levels are maze like dungeon crawls while others are wide open zones, others are a mix of both. The enemy variety is quite low, however…

i passed on tis a few times and saw it on sale so said why not this game is pretty damn good. and i think its worth full price . juggling targets after their stamina depletes into the ceiling to do extra damage is the best feeling you havent lived until you've played basketball with a giant rat weapons are plentiful if a bit hidden and exploration is fun its a fun goofy game . i did not have any UI problems at all and i think the dev did some work on that my only complaint is the entity known as a horse ? (i think thats a lie )
