Feels like that game was made 100% AI. The hit boxes was atrocious, enemies can hit you despite them being 3-4 full model lenghts away. Bullets phase through enemies, and some abilities straight up dont hurt them at all, like the purple flamethrower, and in a lot of the cases the explosive bullets. The text for the abilities says "click left" but its is actually your right button on the mouse. There are a LOT of more that pulls it down, but these are things you meet in the first 5min of the game.3 found this helpful
Some amazing features in this game, I've listed them below! Getting hit enables high opacity flashing red screen mode that you cannot disable! Brilliant! Not annoying at all! Moving with WASD tilts the camera like you're a drunk orc filming a skate video. So much experience you'll level up every other second and choose from mystery skills with mystery effects. Exciting! The area you click is where you damage, the bullet that comes later is additional damage, what even what? A UI and stamina system that might work, but you can't quite figure it out. Do I need to stand still? Should I spend all my ammo? I died when an enemy was on top of me as I levels up, and it did damage to me whilst in the level up screen.. so thanks.2 found this helpful
Leaving a review because the author was kind enough to make it free, and wants feedback; Staying alive and standing around flicking bullets at monsters for 20 minutes on level 1 is a hard ask. That's a lot of time that you don't get back if a stray monster kills you. The 3 cards you choose from at each level up are not interesting enough or different enough; sometimes you even get two of the same type, and one is superior to the other. So really you're only choosing between two choices. Levelling up is kind of jarring. You don't see it coming, and it disrupts all of the action. The game has a strong grimdark fantasy vibe, especially with the Maiden, Mother, and Crone characters at the beginning. But the sudden death metal music during combat kills the vibe. The game design is interesting, and has so much potential. Different weapon types, element types, swapping weapons, having monsters with alternate movement types other than just chasing your character around the map. The basic activity of this game is always the same; move away, move away, shoot, move away. Repetitive. This game feels much more like a prototype.1 found this helpful
At least it's free. Buuuut I can't figure how you could stare at the screen with all thoses... ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼██████████████████EXAGGERATED EFFECTS██████████████████☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼!!! Theses effets are so bad... to a point i wonder if it was tested for gaming purposes or torture... or maybe it's a joke I can't comprehend. It does not make any sense that this game is there since oct 2025, supposedly got an update/(went free) in july and still has no review until july 2026. you don't need to try this one, it can be easily replaced by countless "surviror" titles1 found this helpful
I hesitated about whether to leave a positive review to appease the developers because: - It's F2P !!! - The "SELECT QUEST" interface itself is very unfriendly: there are no lighting effects (or anything like that) other than a few words when you hover your mouse over "THE CURSELANDS" (map 1). - Sometimes clicking the mouse doesn't fire. - The camera angle keeps swaying and rotating about 5 degrees when you press the Left/Right arrow keys, so after just a few minutes of playing, it's already giving you a headache. - The interface for displaying upgrade cards is very annoying: it lags and switches you to a completely separate interface. - The effects and sound are both boring.1 found this helpful
Just like a ♥♥♥♥. I can not say anymore.
