About The Unfallens: Awakening

"The Unfallens: Awakening" is a soul-like action-packed boss battle game where you play as a surviving member of the "Unfallens" civilization using a ghost scythe to challenge the merciless guardians BOSS.

Narrative Background


A shattered world awaits you as you return home from your exile in the underground. The once-thriving civilization of the Unfallens now lies in ruins, with only ruthless guardians left to attack you. Journey through the remains of this fallen civilization, using your skills to overcome intense boss battles and uncover the truth behind the devastation. Awaken your true power, and reclaim what was lost.

Challenging Action Combat


The game's action combat is challenging, requiring you to master the distance of different attack movements, use dodges to correctly respond to the rich moves of the boss, and survive under the formidable enemy.

Satisfying Combat Feel


Feel the solid sense of the soul scythe hitting the enemy, and participate in intense combat through smooth animations, realistic sound effects, visual effects, screen shaking, and other methods.

Full Support for Controllers and Keyboard and Mouse


You can choose any control method suitable for you to play. Whether you prefer a keyboard and mouse or a controller, you can find your play style.

Gorgeous Game Graphics


The game uses high-quality graphics effects to create a unique atmosphere and characters full of details.

Positives: Looks amazing, runs great (high settings on a PC that meets or exceeds most recommended specs except graphics card), sound is wonderful, controller works in game but mouse recommended for menus, the character design is neat, the animations are flashy. Negatives: No block, no parry, no I-frames (that I could tell, though this may be skill issue on my end), the one enemy in the game has ridiculous tracking, and if there wasn't a description on the store page I wouldn't know a thing about the world or whatever it is I'm fighting. I've played other student projects with a similar combat system, although I'm not sure any of them claimed to be a souls-like, and you know what they all had that this didn't? In game lore of some kind, either through notes or dialogue. Multiple enemy types. More controls besides attack, sprint, dodge. The feeling of playing a full, if also very short, game. This is extremely polished everywhere it didn't need to be and extremely lacking everywhere that effort should have been applied, which is the exact opposite of just about every other student project I've tried. I would only recommend this if you're really desperate for a game to play an…

Cool little souls like with one boss that took about 15 minutes to beat after learning what i had access to and what combos the boss had. Well made and the controls didn't feel as bad as some have said in these reviews but that is a bit subjective.
