The Ethernal Spiral

⠀

"The Ethernal Spiral" is, well, let's start with the elephant in the room... when the developer doesn't even know how to spell the name of his own game, you're gonna have a bad time. What do you do in the game? This is a very simple tech demo with simple 1v1 arena fighting versus a bot, with limited "Soulslike" combat involving a lot of blocking and dodging... and no reason to engage in any of it. It takes a lot of either blindness or courage to release this kind of garbage tech demo on the same platform as the actual Dark Souls games, doesn't it? Then again, the developer here couldn't even spell the name of his game properly... and I think if you need to get someone to help you do that, maybe game development is not cut out for you. It does explain, however, why they always get my order wrong at McDonalds. It looks like most of the game was lifted from code samples, asset samples and tutorials, and it's a bare bones homework assignment tier mess. The graphics aren't great... that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium…

It just a buggy souls like game. 1. You don't keep the upgrades you get between levels. You only get to keep the upgrades you get after every boss and the upgrades are super underwhelming 2. Its the same 2 levels over and over again. 3. The hit boxes suck.

Wow, even for a free game, this is just coal. it's a clunky “Soulslike” combat game with no consistent hit registration, no target lock, and the attacks are simply stupid; the bash attack seemingly doesn't do anything special, and is slower and deals even less damage than the light attacks. Levels are repetitive, procedurally generated junk with no story, no purpose with the same enemy design over and over, ending with a boring boss. The visuals are cheap, the difficulty is just unfair (not fun), and it's apparent from comparing the title to the description that the game’s name is misspelled. It feels like a rushed tech demo made from tutorials. Reportedly, Steam shows it peaked at 2 players, which is abysmal numbers. Free or not, skip this. Total waste of time.

It's kinda just unfun I like soulslike games but this is just difficult for the sake of being diifcult the first level starts easy and ends with you getting gangbanged in a corner just not fun just hard
