Dream Slayers

I can admire any indie dev being willing to go out and really try their hand at something ambitious. For me, I did not last long, as there were a few alarm bells that caused me to put this game down quickly. Firstly, the UI and controls felt unintuitive and unpleasant. Close to passable, but not quite. Graphically the game wasnt bad, but some shortcomings that are easily fixable really made it clear this experience is unpolished. Open doors to buildings you can't enter, oddly scaled assets (like the well near spawn) and unmarked invisible walls, to name a few. Side note, I wasn't actually able to edit my character appearance at the barber while simultaneously being able to look at my face. Lastly, the actual dungeons have underdesigned rooms that feel clearly like a clump of assets smashed together. More effort (with lighting) could've really made Dream Slayers feel like there was reward to exploring various dungeons (of which I saw a few). I won't comment on the combat as it wouldn't be fair for me to do so having spent such short time with the game. Ultimately Dream Slayers is a 'game' in the most utilitarian sense of the word; it is a collection of systems that form a cohesive experience. But what it's missing is the art form. I only played a handful of minutes, so take what I have to say with a HUGE grain of salt. But perhaps you'll find some value in understanding the perspective of someone who was turned away too early. In the end I spent more time writing this review than actually playing the game itself because underneath the gameplay challenges and UI shortcomings, I could sense there was a genuine effort here. It was just not ready yet.

I'm gonna leave a positive review ONLY because I definitely see the potential for a really cool unique game. There is a LOT to do before it's there though. As of now I wouldn't recommend buying it unless your okay with the idea of buying it as an investment in hopes the dev pulls through. Its playable as of now but not for more than like 10-15 minutes. The combat and controls are unintuitive and uncomfortable and there isn't enough of a base game yet for there to be any variety in gameplay or progression. However dungeon games are always cool when done right and the fundamentals definitely seem like they'll be really cool when finished especially multiplayer.

fun game,. sadly doesnt seem to put me on leaderboard, that or im unsure of what the leader board is for. I got a score of 1800 and it never updated for me. This has potential for sure, only bug I ran into was a spirit hound pushed me through a wall and I fell infinitely lol

Simple but elegant game

Hey! I am really interested in this game, i love the style and how it looks. Couple things could get fixed, such as the scoring system and how to pick up loot and such. I really cant wait to see the finished product, but have enjoyed the little time i've spent on it thus far.

Better than a roblox server i guess lmao. Setting changes don't appear to work, namely sensitivity. This kept me from really trying the game, but for one person in a year the fact that it's even this playable is fantastic. Price is right.
