Hand of Doom

A short and sweet game. Games of this description usually leave me wanting more but in this instance the game ends just before it overstays its welcome. The main draws are, unsurprisingly, its graphics and tone, of which the game delivers consistently. The gameplay itself is antiquated and very simple, you basically just traverse mostly linear levels while casting spells to clear obstacles in your path. My only minor gripe is that the game never really challenges you to use your spells creatively, each spell can usually only clear exactly one type of obstacle- that might sound worse than it is, the game is short and consistently gives you new spells, so it never quite got tedious. The game's true staying power for me was its spell casting system, wherein every spell is a unique combination of "words" you must remember and execute properly, it's quite fun and satisfying to rip them off from memory. The game IS buggy, though, almost unfortunately, most of them break saves outright- there is no manual save/load system, so there's little recourse whenever one is encountered but to restart. There is a tutorial for making external backups in the steam community which I'd highly recommend.

需要对上一点电波的知识锁类型解谜冒险，缺点是引导确实有点差，以及有时候会软锁（我遇到的情况退回主界面再重新加载都能解决，指南里也有提供其他方法），图太大有时会找不到路。地图设计和bgm都非常赞，故事充斥着一种黑色幽默风格，很多时候能让你忍俊不禁，没中文，但是英文难度不算高，过场演出和各种细节非常生草，总体来说非常值得售价（注：我是打折时候买的）。

It's slow and jank but in a cozy way.

The vibes are immaculate

Just finished beating the first doomlord and having a great time. Grabbed it on sale for 70% and more than worth it at that price. Music is great. The humour is on point and had me laughing out loud multiple times. Gameplay is simple but fun. Loads of charm and care put into every aspect, the character and voice acting and FMV segments are top.

I had a very good time playing hand of doom. I would recommend it if you're looking for something unique and charming. Other reviews talk a lot about bugs and softlocks. I found the game to be fine. I think there were two occasions I got bugged in my playthrough, both of which were easily resolved by simply returning to the menu and then resuming the game. The cutscenes and dialogue are a personal highlight, alongside punching a tree to death with my fist. Overall it's a load of fun, had a blast (fireball reference)
