Elmarion: the Lost Temple

1/10 One of the worst games I've had the misfortune of playing in a long time. This is barely a beta, not a full release. No amount of work will improve this to the point of being playable. Even if this were a student project or something, I wouldn't accept this level of overall quality. Pros: - Good music - Solid class options - Visually decent and runs smooth Cons: - Camera constantly drifts up to the right no matter what I do - No matter what I do, 1-2 of my characters simply refuse to cast magic even though they have a spell equipped (I think this might be due to a delay in casting spells - my #2 and often #4 characters never cast, probably because 1 & 3 had cast something. If so, this is a terrible design decision for a real time game) - Real time combat simply doesn't work very well here. It's too fast, especially considering you'll likely have at least one caster with multiple spells. Many enemies have a tiny hitbox on top of that, making ranged/magic difficult to use - Some actions you'd expect to have sound effects have none, and the sound effects in combat aren't timed correctly so there's a noticeable delay - No text/UI scaling and there's *tons* of room f…

Horrible game, don't waste your money

Well....it's not good. I got a key for this game in 2021 and the game quality was pretty bad in early access so i decided to wait and play it at the next big update. Long story short, after 3 years it was the same game with no visible upgrades or updates for me:) I played it and the impressions i had 3 years ago were the same as i got now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCN_cpJDIZc I think the problem is the devs didn't have patience to program the game to be a zero to hero type of deal where you start with a single character and you had to work to get more characters and better gear. As it is, it's a 4 people party of dangerous wizards or warriors that have problems killing spiders or rats:P The pictures and trailers look great but it's not really the game, you have to go through a lot of nonsense just to get to the main temple:) For 10 euros its still good if you like the retro or clasical games. It's veeeery far away from Legends of Grimrock but i am still giving it a positive review just for nostalgia. Probably worth buying at 5 euros to experiment with and learn how to play since the tutorial is one of the worst i have seen. Good luck devs but please don't make something like…

Elmarion: the Lost Temple is a party based RPG/Dungeon Crawler to some extend similar to classics like Might and Magic and Wizardry. It's obvious that the game is created by small team and with limited budget - this is not always a bad thing, but here the quality is, regretfully, pretty low. Uninspired story, conversations most probably written by (and translated with) ChatGPT, really strange combat (all melee weapons have really odd hit box, however you can equip everyone with bows and forget about melee and spells), really user unfriendly interface, glitches, etc, etc. Kudos for the effort, but the game is really not worth the 12.50 euros.

Well, the game's horrible. It can deliver a few giggles for its own cute clunkyness but the quest chains are close to broken. Or they actually are broken. There's no telling and the whole thing looks like a visual mess cos of billion unrelated assets. Also the writing is not very good. Although kinda funny. At times.

meh.
