What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's challenging difficulty and atmospheric island setting with environmental hazards that create genuine tension, particularly during nighttime segments. However, criticism centers on slow pacing compared to other action RPGs, limited combat mechanics with a restrictive single skill tree that doesn't encourage creative playstyles, and minimal melee combat options overall.
Gaah, back when I played this wasn't nearly as good as I thought...3 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/folfZvdJjNw Slower pacing than typical action RPGs with very minimal melee combat backed by a single skill tree doesn't offer a lot of creative space for players to engage in.1 found this helpful
[h2]A Cute Isometric Look With a Brutal Core[/h2] Don't let the initial vibe deceive you — this game is not a walk in the park. Even on medium difficulty, the undead hordes will gladly teach you a lesson in humility through sheer numbers and brutal variety. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3765490214 [h2]Mother Nature and Nightmares[/h2] [b]Oops... Spoiler.[/b] The island wants you dead. [list] [*] [b]The Night Shifts:[/b] When the sun goes down, the real nightmare begins. Night outings add a massive layer of tension and difficulty. [*] [b]Environmental Hazards:[/b] From treacherous sandy areas to literally getting struck by lightning — the island itself wants you dead. [*] [b]Zero Forgiveness:[/b] The game does not care about your feelings. Got knocked down? Too bad. You cannot open your inventory to panic-chug healing items while flat on your back. You either prep your HP beforehand, or you embrace death. [/list] [h2]Visuals & Performance[/h2] For a game of its age, the graphics hold up surprisingly well. The atmosphere is gritty, the environments are immersive, and the visual feedback during combat feels incredibly satisfying. https://steamcommunity.c…
1 trillion percent good
Ну хорошая игрушка, довольно простенькая но нечего и так сойдёт Обучение отдельного респекта стоит
