Story is great, gameplay on puzzles is good but conrtols are not as precise keybord, somethimes it clicks, somethimes it doesn't somethimes it. obeys, other's it takes a second and on the lastt levels that I have good precision butt programming isn't exact it ruins my game making it super annoying to end. I have harder games and keyboard is super reactive on others, not on saviorless.2 found this helpful
[b]- 9 / 10 -[/b] This is a very special unit. This is a puzzle platformer. This is a must play!1 found this helpful
Good story, well-written, and featuring nice music with very stylized sound design. It’s short and sweet; the only con is that the character controller is quite clunky. There are areas where this becomes frustrating, but overall, it’s a nice little game!1 found this helpful
Recommended Saviorless is one of those games I'm glad I played, even if I don't think it's one I'll ever revisit. The strongest part of the experience is its presentation. It feels like stepping into a dark storybook, and I was immediately intrigued by the framing device of the narrators and the idea that a story isn't supposed to have two protagonists. From there, the game continues introducing strange imagery and surreal ideas that kept me curious about where it was all leading. Gameplay is much more puzzle-focused than action-focused. Even after gaining the ability to attack, combat never feels like the point. It's more of another mechanic used to solve the game's set pieces than something with much depth of its own. Early on this works well because checkpoints are generous and experimentation is encouraged. Where the game lost a little momentum for me was toward the end. The later sequences became more trial-and-error, and dying often meant replaying stretches that were just long enough to become repetitive. They weren't frustrating in the traditional sense, but they did slow the pacing at the point where I wanted the story to keep moving. When the credits rolled, my feeli…
Great storyline!
Tremendously good Work. I really liked the aesthetic, the art and the story. The controls were a bit off but I played with keyboard. I should be able to change them at will but I managed. The saving were pretty well thought, making challenging but not tedious most of the time. Overall I would suggest this game to other people.
