What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise Nix's addictive gameplay loop, pleasant graphics, enjoyable music, and skill system potential, with the game feeling engaging enough to keep players coming back for more. However, the game suffers from significant issues including an unintuitive tutorial and unclear early objectives, balance problems (like the overpowered ring of fire spell), technical bugs that prevent the game from working after initial startup, UI problems with small fonts, and most concerningly, apparent development abandonment or hiatus that leaves the game feeling incomplete with limited content and underd
Nix is an early access game that has potential to be a fun and exciting experience. While it is still missing several features, such as additional avatars, the game is priced fairly for what it currently offers. The graphics are visually pleasing, and the music is enjoyable, especially the battle music that sets a good pace. One drawback of the game is the unintuitive tutorial system, which could benefit from a practice arena to help players get a better understanding of the controls and game mechanics before diving into battle. Additionally, the beginning of the game can leave players feeling unsure of what to do, but eventually, the objective becomes clearer - to enter the battlefield. However, I would love to see the village using more meta-game elements to enhance a player's overall experience. The game injects humor into its npc characters, adding a bit of charm to the game. The fisherman's quote, "fishing is the sport of drowning worms" is an example of such humor, which adds to the game's appeal. While still in the early stages of development, Nix shows promise with its melee and distance firing modes, as well as the implementation of power-ups, which are gained with expe…8 found this helpful
The game was fun and i think satisfying to play. I have some issues with it but i want to start with what i liked. First of all thank you so much for adding the option to disabling the shaky screen. It's so traumatising for me because of the earthquakes i experienced in my country. I liked how mobile the game is. After i die i say "Nah it's enough for today" but no i unwillingly keep playing. Especially if you're just playing the game just overuse the ring of fire spell. It's cooldown is short and make you unbeatable i meelee combats. I love the skill system and i want to see the skills that are coming soon. The game is early acccess and i feel like it's a good introduction to the game and the newly studio. The game is addictive. In that note i want to talk about what i want to see from that game and what was lacking. First of all even tho i muted the game from it's settings when start the game it's volume is in max for couple seconds. This bug needs to be fixed. Then the menu. Menu is kinda bad. It needs to be designed better. The thing needs to be designed better as well is the start of the game. Game is so far from being self explanatory. I appreciate that there are no longer …5 found this helpful
Because of games like this, I wish there were undecided options when rating games on Steam as this one is obviously uncompleted due to the lack of funding and support so it was put on hiatus for the moment but I wouldn't keep your hope up if you wish for the development team to miraculously return finishing it but you never know. It doesn't sit right with me to recommend a game that is abandoned (for now), even though I like some of the immediate impressions and the setup of it up for this turn of this essentially a vampire survival game mix with rogue-lite element (so far only one bossfight), where you are playing with a lot of fire. This isn't a review but very much feedback giving the pros and cons as I do see the potential it just needs a lot of tweaking but the visual is there. [h2]+Pros[/h2] [list] [*]Flashy animation. [*]Plenty of fire-based abilities to experiment and mess around with. [*]Cool village set up where you take a break from all the survival rogue-lite gameplay using that opting to upgrade skills. [*]I love the NPC dialogues, their character design and story. [*]Plenty of abilities. [*] It's addictive and very satisfying to play. [/list] [h2]-Cons:[/h2] [list…2 found this helpful
1. It doesn't work after the first start. 2. The font size is too small. 3. There is too little content. 4. There are many mechanics, but they're not bound enough. 5. There are issues with animations and aiming.1 found this helpful
I came I tried I never came back to it, it was worth the try to support a small team making their trials publishing a game but the end result is not a recommendable game. Hopefully they'll b able to learn and deliver us an indie that would be worth our gamers' expectation one day. If I had spend real money on this I'd be mad but steam market tokens allows people to take risk with tries like this and this one of the reason why I love Valve :) 4/10 looks good but very raw
i like game will be happy if soon get big update
