Dungeon of Doom

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 3[/h1] You can view my gameplay & early impressions here: https://youtu.be/wX8ITZzzJss This is a budget action RPG / dungeon crawler that released in Early Access and it shows. Keep your expectations low and you may enjoy it. I honestly had fun. However, I also ran into several issues. First of all, the game was too dark in several areas. I could barely see enemies. Secondly, and almost as bad, the combat physics was poor. The name of the game here is distance management (so you don't get hit) and wiggle your sword as fast as possible to take enemies down quickly. Wiggle wiggle wiggle. You can also use magic which is pretty cool. Combat is tough because you can be easily swarmed. You have to be quick in the dark. There's some pretty cool upgrades too. Nice variety of different enemies as well. Just expect a lot of jank. Also several bugs. I lost my sword during my gameplay. I fell through the map. The screen turned completely black when going back to the main menu. Lovely. Game is running on the Unreal Engine 5. On my RTX 5090, I was getting mostly 90 fps. You do have full locomotion, along with snap or smooth turning (smooth turn was too slo…

[h1]Too dark, too unbalanced and very bad choice of controls[/h1] Sorry, I love innovative work from indie developers, and this game is pretty. I also watched gameplays from others to see it is that way too. Watch me struggling with the game in this short gameplay: https://youtu.be/8UqbJU3dCoA So, in summary: [h2]The good:[/h2] [list] [*] You have infinite lives. Your upgrades and money are reused after you die and you keep getting stronger. The enemies you kill are dead permanently while you are still playing. [*] The graphics are beautiful. [*] There is collision with some objects in the game. The sword stops on grids, doors, fences, pottery, machinery. [*] The soundtrack is passable [*] You don't lose your sword when it falls from your hands; after a short while, it is available to be used again. Many old VR games had this wrong, good to see it being good here. [*] Gameplay is... challenging, you can say. [*] The upgrades and rings are interesting. You can see it would engage the user in getting stronger after dying. [*] it works perfectly on Linux (Meta Quest 3) with the three streaming software: WiVRn, ALVR and Steam Link.

[h1]Holy Hell...[/h1] [h3]Ok, now this is something i was not expecting...[/h3] Want an advice? don't buy it... Just don't [b]Unoptimized, Stuttery[/b], [b]Graphic Settings don't fully work properly[/b], [b]Too difficult[/b] (continue reading to see why) [b]Unbalanced[/b], [b]Not designed for VR[/b]. Now the details... - Unoptimization and Stutters The game is created with UE5, now, i'm not here to talk about how bad UE5 is or useless discussions like that, it's just information, anyway, I noticed horrible frametime and stutters upon starting the game and specific places where it clearly struggled more than it should've. Tinkering with the few settings it provides, i noticed that the "Epic" graphics preset was the most laggy, so i turned down the settings and tried that way, the framerate fas stable... If you stood still... Every time you turn faster than you should, the game totally freezes for a second, and this happends with EVERY graphic preset level, it's just that unopmized. I discovered afterwards that my pc was handling the game just fine even at Epic detail, the fact is that the settings themselves are also bugged... There is a slider called "Pixel Density" which i gu…
