Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness

I'm only a few hours in, but already the game is scratching my CRPG itch. You must go into the game with an open mind, as the game's budget was only like 130k USD! They definitely stretched every dime of that money. Anyone who wants to trash talk this game, maybe think about that. I know they spent that 130k better than you ever did. Pure RTWP, no Turd Based mode, ever! I love this studio now. Interesting crafting system. Promising mechanics and engine.

Szerintem ez a játék tökéletes annak, aki most ismerkedne az izometrikus csapat alapú CRPG-vel, és RTwP-vel. Nincs túltolva a karakterkreáció, és a fejlődési rendszer sem. Pont annyi van mindenből, ami még casual szinten is abszolút felhasználó barát. Fantasy része sem volt elrúgaszkodott, az apró detail-eken pedig látszik, hogy szeretettel készült a játék. Van benne egy kapzsiság rendszer amit igazán könnyű balanszolni minden irányba, de itt kifejezetten vicces beszélgetésket hoz, ha úgy döntünk kapzsik leszünk. Magyar csapat, jó játék lett, jár a pacsi!

в целом игра не плохая, отзывать покупку не буду т.к. понравилась. Но не зацепила. Иногда вообще не понятно что делать, а делать нужно быстро т.к. они там сейчас все как умрут.

Really enjoyed it. Old School feel that took me back to BG and IceWind Dale. I would love to see more

Considering this game is the first game made by the studio, it is not bad despite some of the content could definitely have been better. Don't let the unpolished beating animation at 0:02 and walking animation at 0:23 in the first trailer turn you off; the game is worth trying. Think of it as a simpler version of Balder's Gate 1. By the way, I suggest that players set the difficulty as at least Veteran; combats in lower-tier difficulties might be a bit too easy.

[b]A fun CRPG that feels straight from the 2000s.[/b] It is very nostalgic, from its sound design, loading screens, to area layouts, and quests. Its not afraid to be little bit weird and adhere to the rule of cool in ways that most modern games don't bother with. The down side to that is some of the quests are confusing and its easy to miss quest giving NPCs with some them hidden of the second stories of generic sounding buildings and looking exactly like the surrounding NPCs. You think to check every building but there are so many houses with just a barrel or nothing in them until a quest makes the inhabitants appear that this is a real chore. you can mess up quests before you get given them by selling or removing items before the quest. There was also a few times where the quest had a next step that felt very out of left field and I had to consult an online guide to figure out for instance, that "finding information" in a location meant robbing a museum. The Greed system leaves a bit to be desired, I was playing as generous but I felt no need or temptation to be greedy because gold was so easy to come across. I plan to do a second playthrough at some point going full greed to see how it compares as there are some interesting characters on the greed side. [b]There are a few areas for improvement which I think would improve the game a lot and home the devs implement if they ever do another patch.[/b] Have an opening cutscene explaining who you are and what you are doing in Lord Espen's estate. The information that is in your compendium is what should be told to you before the character creation scene. More information in the Compendium, after finishing I am still confused by how many gods there are and what their domains are. There are those statues in the capital and on the cliffs with a bunch of statues, are those all the gods I don't know they aren't interactable. What is with that dome in the north? Got from NPCs it was but there to stop a war but what? huh? Make the ending slides, slides instead of the scroller, I'm a fast reader and it was painfully slow to wait. edit: minor add-on for something I remembered. I played as a necromancer and it was cool I got special dialog with Jade because of it but it made it more jarring when I could only react negativitly to The Sea Hag been undead, bit of an oversight there. I have said a lot of criticism for a positive review but it is despite everything really fun, if you like CRPGs please give Black Geyser a go and I am really looking forward to seeing more of the world that GrapeOcean had made.

Black Geyser delivers a solid classic cRPG experience that I genuinely enjoyed, its RTwP combat evoke nostalgic Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 vibes. My issue is the lack of quality-of-life features like repositioning AoE spells mid-cast is frustrating, as all enemies often evade them before the slow casting animation completes, rendering most AoE spells ineffective.

It's not quite Baldur's Gate I or II, but it's got the same spirit. It was fun.

Great game that reminded me of Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale, with some quality-of-life features like a fast walk mode outside of combat. The graphics are great, and the exploration and gearing were fun. The main game + expansion took about 28 hours to complete. I love the way the world map works, like in Baldur’s Gate. My only gripe was the load times. I had to restart periodically when it got too bad. There are some QoL improvements to mitigate this, like being able to instantly go to certain quest NPCs or to the world map. Fully recommended. Please keep making great games like this!

Jogo mais simples que os famosos CRPG's, e com dificuldade baixa. Joguei todo na maior dificuldade possivel e apenas alguns boss apresentaram algum desafio. É um jogo gostoso de jogar, as há variedade de habilidades e da para ter uma variaçao de "roles" para os personagens. Talvez não seja para todos, principalmente se for comparar com outros titulos. Mas vale a pena jogar sem muita expectativa.
