BURGGEIST

Burggeist est un jeu inovant, ce jeu à l'air d'avoir un monde vide cependant après quelques heures de jeu on ne s'ennuie pas dans ce monde car il fait pour se déplacer rapidement avec des sorts, les histoire secondaires sont incroyablement prenantes car on est obligés de les réalisés pour devenir plus puissants, j'ai adoré amélioré Burggeist, les tours ont toutes une un environnements sympa à défendre

Ever wish there was an open world Brutal-Legend-style tower defense game that looked like a cross between Morrowind and Killer 7? Yeah, me neither. That's a weird thing to ask for. Excellent characters, unique but intuitive gameplay (although I wish they did more with the height advantage gimmick), and a good-enough localization come together to deliver an experience literally like no other. I bought this at full price and it feels about right for what I got. Maybe even a little cheap.

This game just feels really good to play. The movement is incredibly satisfying and the spells look cool and feel impactful. I found that most of the spells felt useful throughout my playthrough. I would honestly love to play a game that focused on just combat with this character. I also really enjoyed exploring the world, especially before I unlocked the better mobility spells. Barely making jumps to reach an item on a ledge or a tower was very satisfying. The world is visually striking in a unique way, I ended up taking a lot of screenshots while playing. I'm definitely going to be keeping up with this developer in the future, I'm very impressed.

A really fun mix of action-rpg and tower-defense. It doesn't really even feel jank (just a little) like a lot of people say, just very limited in scope. I didn't really run into any bugs in my playthrough. Once you get a few movement-related spells the movement is fun to master. The damage buff related to height differential really makes you care about the terrain of every tower location, which spells to slot into your loadout, and some of the tower locations have unique mechanics. There's also plenty of little bonuses to find out around in the world, with enough equipment that you can sort of spec into a "build". The story is light, but there - I like that it's left a bit vague, since your imagination will fill in the blanks for you. Also surprised that it's fully voiced, which is fun. Vibes are somewhere in the middle of darker Studio Ghibli / Attack on Titan / Shadow of the Colossus. Would be nice if there was a bit more music variety, but it's short enough that it doesn't grate too much. Would've been fun if you eventually unlocked more "burggeist" to command, rather than just increasing the platform size on the one. I think scaling from 1 to 3 over the course of the game would've been really cool and let you do 'builds' on them too, but I can see how that didn't really fit into the scale present here.

Burggeist is an incredibly fun genre mashup unlike anything I have ever played. "open world third person action tower defense" is how I would describe it. The plot can be briefly summed up as: "Your wife is stricken with a disease that has petrified her and to free her of this curse an invisible entity wrote to your daughter, saying you must build a very tall tower and your wife will be cured." While actively building a tower you will be assaulted by endless waves of "abhorers". They will not stop until you finish a tower, or choose to end the building phase. To defend the tower you have many magic abilities at your disposal, as well as your "burggeist" - a creature holding a giant stone slab with which you can place armaments like cannons on and command it to fire at the oncoming abhorers. Getting each tower past a certain height also causes unique quests to trigger which will introduce you to the people that live in Aliscans and provide lore on the area. While not in the process of building a tower, exploration is free from danger. The large open world holds lots of secrets including new armaments to place on your burggeist, accessories to equip on your character, various polyhedrons to destroy and stone sheep to collect to gather "Heretic Lime" the game's primary resource for upgrading. Exploration was so fun and carefree, the first night I played this I spent hours just running around Aliscans exploring every nook and cranny. I feel like it also helped me better understand how to control the burggeist better during the tower defense portion of the game. The store page says the developer recommends playing with a controller, and while I started out that way I quickly switched to mouse and keyboard and everything felt much more natural to control. Games like this don't come around often. Even the in game menus are works of art. I really hope Ghrian Studio keeps making games, because Burggeist is quite the treasure. Also, please add cloud saves!

This game's weird, and it's cool as hell. Easy recommend. Be forewarned, it's a tower defense game at its core mixed with third person action, with room for exploration and experimentation.

The very definition of a hidden gem. The combat was great, the esoteric story beats were intriguing, this game delivered beyond my expectations. Also, it ran flawlessly on steam deck. That was a blast.
