i think its a fun concpet, especially with the astrological signs being a puzzle mechanic. the tarot card system is fun and gives you the fun of trading cards (without spending tons like pokemon!). def recommend this game :D a very worthwhile game :D3 found this helpful
Deadhaus Sonata is a game I've been waiting for a long time. And even though it is in very early stages you can see the strands of possibility that the developers are adding in every minor detail since launch. This game is for the fans of gothic stories, of classic dark narratives, and tales where the corrupted good doesn't deserve to win and you get enjoy every moment showering in the blood of their false altruism.2 found this helpful
Great Experince, as someone who's new to the genre i highly reccomend this2 found this helpful
Strong Potential – A Unique Dark Fantasy ARPG Worth Following I picked up Deadhaus Sonata in Early Access and have been impressed by its ambitious vision and atmospheric world. As a fan of narrative-driven games and dark fantasy, I really enjoyed the rich lore delivered through the voiced Chronicles and the sense of building your own legend as an undead Harbinger. The feeding mechanics, blood abilities, and progression systems feel fresh, while the Tarot/Inscription features add a fun layer of customization and replayability. Co-op support up to six players shows clear promise, and the gothic setting with its interconnected story threads creates a compelling atmosphere that keeps me coming back. Coming from a small indie team led by Denis Dyack, the game has that classic Legacy of Kain spirit with modern twists. There are some performance and polish issues typical of Early Access, but the core experience is enjoyable and the roadmap looks very promising with new classes and content on the way. If you appreciate deep world-building, player choice, and supporting passionate developers, I recommend giving it a try. The foundation is solid, and I’m excited to see how the game evolves. …1 found this helpful
Deadhaus Sonata is a really interesting undead ARPG with a ton of potential, but it’s definitely still rough around the edges. The world and lore are super intriguing, and my absolute favorite part is the Chronicles — the little audio‑book style lore drops. They’re incredibly well done and honestly one of the highlights of the whole experience for me. The combat, though, feels clunky and very simple right now. It works, but it doesn’t feel smooth or satisfying yet. The camera angles also need work, especially during fights or tighter spaces — it can get in the way more than it helps. Even with those issues, I still had fun. The foundation is solid, the atmosphere is great, and the lore delivery through the Chronicles is fantastic. It’s a game that clearly needs more development time, but the potential is absolutely there. I’m excited to see how it grows1 found this helpful
I'm a supporter of the project, I really love tiny Indie teams! This is moving along and every turn shows more and more progress! Everyone involved has a great attitude and is driving for a good result. I can't wait to see more and as it goes I will be more and more involved on the end user level. A wonderful project that keeps growing and evolving. I will update after release with a proper full detail review.
