No Vacation for an Executioner

for the love of god fix the parry. the positioning is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, please, make parrying decent. bosses are only really doable by shooting then running away. the infection meter keeps bugging out

Wish I could like this, but its too clunky, too slow, and not engaging in any meaningful manner. I will give it props for having a great setting, wonderful designs and a strong art direction.

why does every game these days has to be hard also it's more like souls-like not Survival Horror.

Janky, buggy kinda a mess on a lot of levels but well I liked it, game good.

Unfortunate negative review. Game is cool AF in vibes, content, and music. The issue is combat, it feels horrible. The controls are absolutely horrible and no customizing is allowed. Ignoring that, and they did say jank was there, which in itself is not a cardinal sin. The issue is that the combat just doesn't always work. The biggest issue with this is sometimes enemies do a special bite and a parry icon displays. It is genuine rng if it works, the issue is there is no dodge and if u miss u take insane damage. I played around holding vs clicking, prefiring, moving versus standing still and it was just a crapshoot. That was the deal breaker. All in all this game is heavily flawed but has the good bones there. The maps feel weirdly open and undeveloped, most dialogue and cutscenes don't skip when pressing the button, parrying and other stuff feels horrible but I believe is the intention and lastly after completing a stealth kill your character immediately stands up. The quick menu is obtuse and makes u hold down stuff. So unfortunately I had fun thinking about the game, hearing the music and walking around but there is a certain point of fighting the game vs the enemies that I tap o…

I’m really digging this game but it’s also very frustrating. I think it’s actually a very cool survival horror with some soulslike mechanics. Probably the biggest issue is that your only option is to parry attacks most of the time ( if you’re out of ammo) and even after improvements the parry is somewhat inconsistent. Especially the visceral stab I would press when the prompt came up and at least half the time my character would flail around and not perform the visceral. This is kind of a big issue when so much of the combat is based around parrying Like should there have been a dodge or just a block and perhaps lock -on, hard to say but I’m still digging the slow dread of this. The other thing I noticed this with other small dev soulslikes, is that the difficulty curve is just insane. Like give the player a few easy enemies to learn mechanics and then get harder; instead the game stonewalls you from the beginning. Whatever I’m intrigued and want to play more.
