Alkurai

If you enjoy puzzle games this is definitely something for you and a few friends to play. I really enjoyed this game a lot, I would say a solid 8.5/10 I played with 1 other friend and it was definitely a fun game, I'm actually excited to play the new maps. Like I said, for puzzle solving lovers, definitely worth playing. :)

If you have played ANY co-op horror game before, you've played a better game than this. I have ZERO idea how people are giving this otherwise glowing reviews, even for an early access. Unless the entire game was overhauled, I don't see much potential here to be better than anything that already exists. The enemies are glitchy, AI is poor. You can easily loop or keep them stuck. The maps are pretty uninspired and just a ton of empty space. Immersive? Lol no. Characters have hardly any animation and what is there is very stiff. Lore? Maybe the smallest bit, really had no idea who we were or why we were doing anything other than "stop bad guy, chosen one" and had no idea who any of the side characters were besides to be a puzzle obstacle. The ending was kinda hilarious, that's about it.

Alkurai has an interesting questing system while roaming the first maps maze. Around every corner my buddy and I either got lost or found another quest to finish, but at a certain point we got the idea of what we were supposed todo. The monster that roams the first map being the maze didn't find us until we were at the last quest and it started to get more aggressive, so there weren't many jumpscares until that time. We ran into a glitch that was connected with the games mechanic of a dropped item that wasn't in the place it spawns where if the item isn't being held it'll respawn where you found it before. While this can be fun, we ran into the issue that the last heart we needed to burn "respawned" in its found place, but it wasn't there. So the final 30 or so minutes was us running around trying to find it, which was a bit annoying. But in the end Alkurai has an interesting story behind it and some fun cutscenes to watch. And the end of chapter one already shows what's to come for Chapter 2, so my buddy and I can't wait to play this again for the new chapters to come!

Played with 3 players was very fun only thing that was a little bit annoying was her camping the swamp but not much of an issue if you just kinda get good lol. overall really fun liked the map and textures used sound was okay and the story isn't bad, def fun to play with friends -love the random spawned mushrooms :)

Crashed the pc of whoever was hosting within minutes of starting a lobby. Looks great, but needs some serious work still

Had a great time playing this game with my friend. Loved the characters we met through the maze and finding objects was fun. We did however encounter a bug that allowed us to spawn unlimited amounts of hearts to burn at the fire, making the game rather easy to finish so please beware that you're purchasing an unfinished product with quite a few bugs. EDIT after having played chap 2: The second chapter is fun at first as well but I do much prefer the first one after having played through both. The mechanics get a lot simpler in the second chapter so once you figure them out it's an easy clear and the threat pretty much ceases to exist.

REVIEW: Pros: - Game is fun with friends - Nice puzzles - Monster lady is crazy Cons: - A Few bugs... (5/4 Hearts burned) Can't complete the game... Very weird one. - She got stuck in a loop a lot too - No Inversion Controls

Really enjoyed the game. There were a few bugs in the game no big deal. I didn't think we would finish on first try so that was nice. Definitely going to make a vid out of this
