Unbeliever is one of literally thousands of GameMaker Studio 2D retro pixel platformers infesting Steam. It's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. It's a basic 2D retro pixel platformer with no serious interest or value for PC gamers, with a "dungeon" brawler theme. A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked, and can't be changed or customised to improve the visuals or the control experience. PC gamers will be insulted by the console peasant children's toy gamepad prompts. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. Gameplay is equally poor with floaty controls and terrible hitreg. Standing next to an enemy and thumping it while your attacks miss and its attacks kill you is not the kind of outcome one would expect with a basic modicum of gameplay testing. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in produc…

Well worth a look, a free groundwork for the projects that followed... plenty to like

Great game, even though some of the traps and the damage of some enemies are pure sadistic. Rest assured, however: There are more than enough checkpoints, some bosses are easy and one of them has an extremely awesome concept, pretty much never found anywhere. In Unbeliver you're in control of someone who lost his memories and the only thing that drives him = the battle. Each time you perform some scripted event that advances the story you unlock a spell and a memory. Pretty cool. There are eight stages and you do ♥♥♥♥ damage to literally everyone. Try to farm enemies and invest skill points on the skill that governs it ASAP. The artstyle reminds me of Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, which is a plus and the soundtrack is awesome. The story also has a nice twist. Grab it, already and give it a chance. It's free.

Игра "Unbeliever" оставляет смешанные чувства. С одной стороны - захватывающий сюжет, полный интриг и моральных дилемм, заставляет задуматься о природе веры и разума. Визуальный стиль, хоть и пиксельный, создает мрачную и атмосферную картинку, идеально подходящую для гнетущей истории. Музыкальное сопровождение отлично подчеркивает напряженные моменты и общее настроение безысходности. С другой стороны, геймплей может показаться несколько однообразным. Исследование локаций и решение головоломок порой затягиваются, а боевая система, хоть и не является центральной, выглядит достаточно примитивно. К тому же, концовка может показаться неоднозначной и разочаровать тех, кто ожидал более четкого разрешения конфликта. В целом, "Unbeliever" - это интересный инди-проект, который определенно стоит внимания любителям атмосферных игр с глубоким сюжетом и философским подтекстом. Однако, будьте готовы к некоторым геймплейным шероховатостям и открытой концовке.
