About Insurmountable
Insurmountable is an adventure roguelike with permadeath, in which the player has to overcome huge mountains. Thanks to the procedurally created environment, no two climbs are the same. Make sure that your climber stays alive by always making sure that your vital values don't get into the critical range. This task is made more difficult by a dynamic weather system, day/night changes and a multitude of randomly generated events, where you never know in advance how they will end. Your decisions matter....every single one. Because anyone could be your last.
Choose one of three characters with different skills and background stories and start by climbing the first mountain. Search crates, caves and ancient ruins for equipment from past adventurers. You'll need it, because even the first mountain will demand everything from you. But don't worry. As time goes by, you'll become stronger and stronger. Take advantage of a sophisticated skill system to determine which strengths your climber should have.
In the course of each of the three mysterious stories, you will meet dangerous animals, overcome deadly abysses, encounter sinister and well-meaning characters, who do not always have to be human. Here, too, each of your decisions decides the following events.
Three mountains have to be conquered at the end. One higher and deadlier than the previous one. Divide your forces and your equipment correctly, because you don't have a second attempt and you can forget about learning a route. In Insurmountable you have to cope with unknown dangers, react spontaneously to unpredictable events and realize in the end that, as in life, you can't always know the consequences of your decisions, but you have to cope with them anyway and in the end, it often turns out differently than you thought.
Face the challenge of ever new and changing dangers, face snowstorms and the sheer force of nature, always keep your eyes on the summit and overcome the insurmountable.

I really like that you don't fight enemies in this game, but rather fight to survive against the forces of nature. Managing the different resources you have and trying to choose optimal paths for your climbs is a lot of fun. I didn't pay a lot of attention to the story, but it is alright. The graphics are simple, but pretty pleasant. The soundtrack is alright, too. The camera sometimes is annoying, but it wasn't a big deal for me. On normal difficulty the game is rather forgiving and I only really lost at it, because I didn't fully understand the mechanics yet.2 found this helpful
A melancholic climbing experience where you decide when to die from cold, and fast reading of the text. It's a text based game with some strategy from where to climb the mountain. Good fun when on sale.1 found this helpful
Recommend! Though the camera makes you lose your mind sometimes. There are some hacks to make life a lot easier especially when playing with the [spoiler] scientist[/spoiler] . Buy it in sale.1 found this helpful
Amazingly simple, but amazingly fun.1 found this helpful
No idea why I bought this it is hardly even a game and stains the Daedalic brand.1 found this helpful
I bought it for less than £2 and only kept it because I'd gone over time. To be fair I'm hardly the target market - its a game about stupid people doing stupid things and trying to get themselves killed. When you succeed? you get a view. meh. Camera controls suck, the map's hard to read, the events are annoying, that's basically the whole game. Oh and the timing? Wtaf? I can only sleep for 6 hours or ten so I have to climb in the dark? are you crazy? Save your time and effort, and just don't climb at all.
