Second Sun

This game is really cool in concept, but there's some QoL issues across the board that I think the devs should consider improving on. First off is general visibility. Everything has this same earthy color palette, making it really difficult to discern what is just environment vs what is and enemy, or what you can interact with at a glance. This is particularly bad when it comes to encountering enemies that look like tree stumps in the middle of a forest. Now enemies do appear on your mini-map as red dots, so you get a warning that they are there, but that means taking your eyes off the action in the center of the screen to constantly glance at the mini-map in the top right corner just to maintain situational awareness, and in many cases, by the time you realize you're engaged with an enemy that came running from the next room over, you're already being slaughtered. In general, while playing this game, I just constantly have this fog of war hanging over my head, making me feel like I'm spending more time simply orienting myself than engaging with the game in a way that's fun. Hopefully there will be updates to solve some of these issues if the game isn't dead already (th…

High potential with some huge flaws. The setting is awesome along with the combat idea of blending gunplay and magic.But enemy autoleveling ruins the whole excitement of leveling up and progression. The enemy behaviour suggests the use of a dash, but there is none in the game, so instead of creating various tactics which would be possible with the dash move, there's only one - keep distance and shoot. There are some artistic flaws as well. For instance, adding fade ins and outs when the scene changes (like in dialogue or on death screen) would make the whole picture to be percieved way smoother. Dialogue windows look like placeholders in an alpha build. The vignettes of spells are confusing and give a feeling of taking damage, rather than inflicting it. And now for the elephant in the room - sound. It is VERY poor. 90s FPS sounded better. The guns lack some high frequency sounds, like mechanics. There is no impact of combat and even the explorating. The hit pots produce the sound of a porcelain cup being put on a saucer. Soundscape is filled with ambient sounds, yet feels empty. Some ambience SFX is not perfectly looped. And the music...Well, it's just there. It does not create …

Very simple, enjoyable shooter with a little RPG elements. Graphics are good, and runs fine. Also cheap. I like it very much. And I hope there will be a second part.

I liked it, i just wish it had better optimization for Steam Deck and hand held, but these guys can show you better than I can tell. https://youtu.be/eeej0pERRmQ

perfect mix for some good grinding and its beautiful considering independent, cant wait to see more in the future so far its worthy of a purchase for those mulling it over!
