驱煞 (2024)

"驱煞" (Exorcising Evil Spirits) is just another academic exercise dumped onto the Steam store, one of thousands. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" games, we must still question what value they have for gamers. This isn't a fully fleshed out game. It's the result of an academic exercise and has much more limited value than a professionally developed game. While most of the time when an educational academy dumps garbage on Steam, it's the result of a student project. This, however, is an advertisement! It's a tutorial and you're expected to sign up to learn how to make this exact game. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments. It helps their marketing and makes students feel good, but it puts the business before the needs of gamers. And the game itself is a shameless ripoff of Vampire Survivor (copyright Poncle, 2021). Maybe it's just me, but the first thing students should probably learn is that it's wrong to breach copyright law, steal or plagiarise the work of others. I guess they don't teach that one at this Chinese game dev school. The game assets here look a lot better than the act…

good

fun way to spend a few hours

I tried playing this game on Steam Deck, but it doesn't work with the joystick. Please fix or add compatibility with Steam Deck. Please!

The English translation is really, really bad but not a hindrance. Really good free game. Looking forward for more updates.
