Elo Hell

The game had an interesting premise and I did enjoy the references for popular MOBAS. I'd probably enjoy the minigames and dialogue options as well, but HOLY HELL, Echo Star is BAD. (That's the MOBA you'll need to play A LOT to progress through the story.) The tutorial is incredibly long, dull and boring and at first, I thought they just ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up designing the tutorial. But no. Big no. Echo Star itself is ALSO incredibly long, dull and boring. You cant design an enjoyable tutorial if the game itself isn't even enjoyable, right? As I mentioned earlier, you'll need to invest a lot of time into Echo Star to progress. You cant skip it. You can play it on easy mode, but even then it takes pretty long to get through one match and honestly, I'm not willing to invest 30 minutes of my time into a match to get 5 minutes of dialogue and a mini game. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to Elo Hell. Sadly, they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the key feature of the game, making it unplayable to me.

Elo Hell is not a game. It's a "free" advertisement/demo/prologue for the full "game" that has deceptively been dumped on Steam as a full game. Even if this was a full game, which it's not, it's barely a game, more of a crap visual novel slapped together with an intention of being "artsy" and "meta". Here's the instructions for putting a demo up on Steam, to demonstrate that there is a correct process for this, which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers, but at the end of the day, I can only recommend full, correctly published games to gamers. Because this is just a demo, and because of the o…

AAHHHHH Honestly, some antiquated memes and a moba game sitting side by side without much flow can get aggravating. We'd have a dialogue section and all of a sudden there was the game in question---out of nowhere we'd play this seemingly not fitting game. Also just add a skip button to the tutorial. Hi guys, that was my GF(girlfriend) talking, and let me tell you, she only hated this game because she's a tryhard. First off, firstly, lOVED the humor and the memes (nyan nyan) every character felt lik e someone I knew, in irl even! Dialogue trees that rival that of Mass Effect series (♥♥♥♥♥ game ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ending though) and a MOBA that rocked my socks off. Add a skip button? more like add more buttons! I wanted to play that game so much that I kept redownloading this game and making new steam profiles just to get at it. Love it. Though, the dialogue got a little cringy (BY DESIGN) I still loved it even if I didn't. I've never had such an expereince so experiential as this save for Desitny 2. Would recommend. Gf here again. if you felt held hostage by that past paragraph, that's what you should expect for this game.

Игра "Elo Hell" - это затягивающий и фрустрирующий симулятор киберспортивной карьеры. Вам предстоит принимать решения, влияющие на развитие вашего персонажа, от выбора игр и тренировок до взаимодействия с командой и спонсорами. Графика минималистична, но геймплей глубок и полон неожиданностей. Главная прелесть игры - это реалистичное отображение трудностей, с которыми сталкиваются начинающие киберспортсмены. Придется балансировать между желанием побеждать, улучшением навыков, и поддержанием морального духа в команде. Проигранные матчи могут быть болезненными, но чувство удовлетворения от достижения цели невероятно сильное. Однако, игра не без недостатков. Изначально, механики могут показаться сложными для понимания, а иногда - слишком случайными. Некоторым игрокам не понравится отсутствие прямого контроля над матчами, но именно это заставляет делать упор на стратегическое планирование и управление ресурсами. В целом, "Elo Hell" - это отличная игра для тех, кто любит сложные симуляторы и кому интересна индустрия киберспорта. Она может быть временами жестока, но победа в ней ощущается заслуженной. Рекомендую попробовать, если вы готовы к испытаниям!
