Grit the Dark World

Some amazing features in this game, I've listed them below! Getting hit enables high opacity flashing red screen mode that you cannot disable! Brilliant! Not annoying at all! Moving with WASD tilts the camera like you're a drunk orc filming a skate video. So much experience you'll level up every other second and choose from mystery skills with mystery effects. Exciting! The area you click is where you damage, the bullet that comes later is additional damage, what even what? A UI and stamina system that might work, but you can't quite figure it out. Do I need to stand still? Should I spend all my ammo? I died when an enemy was on top of me as I levels up, and it did damage to me whilst in the level up screen.. so thanks.

This was unfortunately the first vibe coded "game" I've ever played. It's left me wanting to burn down my local AI data center.

The game certainly has some potential. However, it needs improvements and fixing. For example, the game uses AI generated assets. In the menu screen, you'll see 2 'QUIT' buttons where one of them actually works and the other is within the background picture. If you enable post processing, the camera shake is inevitable. If you get hurt, a red color overlay flashes in the entire screen. The camera shake and the flashes gave me a headache. The movement feels very slow (may be it is by design). Getting the perks is relatively easy. The bothering part is, your exp fills up very quickly. So, depending on you exp level, you'll be selecting perks after each few seconds/moments later. And for some reason, they don't feel very strong/effective.

Leaving a review because the author was kind enough to make it free, and wants feedback; Staying alive and standing around flicking bullets at monsters for 20 minutes on level 1 is a hard ask. That's a lot of time that you don't get back if a stray monster kills you. The 3 cards you choose from at each level up are not interesting enough or different enough; sometimes you even get two of the same type, and one is superior to the other. So really you're only choosing between two choices. Levelling up is kind of jarring. You don't see it coming, and it disrupts all of the action. The game has a strong grimdark fantasy vibe, especially with the Maiden, Mother, and Crone characters at the beginning. But the sudden death metal music during combat kills the vibe. The game design is interesting, and has so much potential. Different weapon types, element types, swapping weapons, having monsters with alternate movement types other than just chasing your character around the map. The basic activity of this game is always the same; move away, move away, shoot, move away. Repetitive. This game feels much more like a prototype.

At least it's free. Buuuut I can't figure how you could stare at the screen with all thoses... ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼██████████████████EXAGGERATED EFFECTS██████████████████☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼!!! Theses effets are so bad... to a point i wonder if it was tested for gaming purposes or torture... or maybe it's a joke I can't comprehend. It does not make any sense that this game is there since oct 2025, supposedly got an update/(went free) in july and still has no review until july 2026. you don't need to try this one, it can be easily replaced by countless "surviror" titles

I hesitated about whether to leave a positive review to appease the developers because: - It's F2P !!! - The "SELECT QUEST" interface itself is very unfriendly: there are no lighting effects (or anything like that) other than a few words when you hover your mouse over "THE CURSELANDS" (map 1). - Sometimes clicking the mouse doesn't fire. - The camera angle keeps swaying and rotating about 5 degrees when you press the Left/Right arrow keys, so after just a few minutes of playing, it's already giving you a headache. - The interface for displaying upgrade cards is very annoying: it lags and switches you to a completely separate interface. - The effects and sound are both boring.

This game is just awful to play. The screen tilts whenever you try to move, which caused motion sickness. The skills don’t seem to work correctly. Hitboxes are horrendous. You’ll get hit even if you’re nowhere near the enemies. I’d get a refund if it weren’t free.
