KEL Reaper of Entropy

UPDATE: The Developers have had Steam delete most of the negative threads that The Masquerader participated in, including the one that this links to. Then, the other Developer wants to come here and say that this review contains "misleading information". I really tried hard to support these guys, even AFTER the debacle. But the dishonesty and lack of integrity is just TOO much. Have some integrity, Developers. Your reputation only suffers when you behave like this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I cannot recommend this game to anyone. "Early Access" is that in name only. read the forums for yourselves, the Developer has already stated that the game is complete and any feedback would simply be put to use for a potential sequel. What you see here is a completed game that is only in EA to detect potential bugs. Wile an interesting concept and one that seems could have used the Early Access to it's advantage, the state that it is in will leave you very disappointed. Speaking of disappointed, let's talk about the developer for just a brief moment. In fact, I will simply ask you to go check the forums for yourself. Particularily the thread regarding obtaining the Steam Keys. The developer is not only rude but the developer also refuses to interact with anyone BUT the trolls! No effort was made to discuss valid issues with early supporters that had raised some concerns regarding the game, it's "finished" state, etc. Not publicly or privately. It got so bad at one point, the developer decided to try to only give keys to the people who would stroke their ego. Again, you can see this for yourself in the forums. This behavior is beyond despicable. The developer goes on a rant about how people who bought the game are not customers to them (mind you, these are the very people that bought the game early AND voted to get it Greenlit!) , and compared said customers to terrorists. No joke. Several people had to reach out to the fine staff over at Groupees in order to get the keys that were paid for months BEFORE the Steam release. Anyhow, do yourself a favor and read the forums prior to purchasing. If you decide these developers are the type you'd like to support, that is your decision. http://steamcommunity.com/app/317950/discussions/ Lastly, in case you think I am just trashing a developer for the sake of trashing a developer, I urge you to check out every other interaction I have ever had on Steam. I have NEVER left a negative review. My only interactions in the forum prior to this have all been not only positive, but extremely helpful to most (mainly, fixing broken games!). I have no desire to be negative in any way, however, this is one game/develppment team I STRONGLY urge all of my fellow gamers to avoid.

I feel bad for everyone who paid 4 bucks for this "game". Also the developers tried to scam their costumers; http://steamcommunity.com/app/317950/discussions/0/35221031758085371/

I got this game on a charity bundle, but then bought it again here. Its different and very fun you are kel a skeleton and you can use mana to change form to human so you dont scare villagers ..you go on quests and collect things as you go . I dont want to take away from the humor by telling anything but i bought it twice in my opinion its well worth $3 ..

This is more a proof of concept than a game. It plays like a classic adventure where you walk to NPCs and interact with them, but you can easily finish it in an hour or two, and that only because the player character walks so slowly. Pros - Okay as a proof of concept. Idea has potential. Graphics are good enough. Cons - Very little content. Character too slow. Some bugs. Attempts at humor, juvenile. I give it one out of four golfclaps.

Please do not support immature developers, especially ones deleting/hiding particular threads, deleting posts by the devs themselves, and then pretending they never existed. Your money is better off being spent on something else, unless you really want to give money to Phil Fish 2.0.

Too short, no voice acting, and the charater moves too slow. Fun idea but there needs to be more to a game than "make friends with all the villiagers..... do villagers tasks..... so now kill all the villagers off".

This is a tough review for me. Let's start by talking about the positives. The game has allot of character, the dialogue is well thought out and funny. It also has a completely original storyline unlike anything I have ever seen in other games, the first thing I think of being Dungeon Keeper but obviously this is of a completely different genre. I say that because in this you play as the evil Skeleton named KEL who claims to represent all the enemy sprites in previous RPG games through the ages. World design is fantastic and you can tell that allot of imagination has gone into creating and realising not only the development of the town but also the easter eggs like the Skeletons banqueting round a table and the retired mage who claims to have 'lost allot of weight' (you will see why), but thats where the positives end. The gripes I have with this game are few but weigh heavily. The world is very small, one town, a wilderness, a number of easter eggs and the occassional lonesome hovel. This does make the game feeling lonely and enclosed in a small place, leaving you wanting a whole lot more. There is very little combat, you basically have to use your intellect as if the game was almost entirely a puzzle, althrough that might be a positive. The final problem I have is that you have an inventory of items that can be used but rarely anything equipable and there is no stats at all it would seem. To sum up, I really think the positives save this game. The atmosphere of the OST and design are more than satisfactory and the puzzles quickly become addictive once you start to solve the early ones. The negatives are always present but let's remember this is in early access and you certainly get your £2 worth. Final verdict: The game deserves the mixed review status it currently has. Here is my lets play of KEL Reaper of Entropy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0VLAheJah4 [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0VLAheJah4]

A game i would play, would be expected to have actaul morals to the game your playing. This game has just jokes like your kidding arround on the computer. The gameplay is in 3rd person where theirs no morals like your playing as the caracter in the game. It was like a program that got halfway made and put together at the last minute. It has very poor realistic gameplay, like when you fight. or talk to someone. you'd be better off getting an old rpg style game thats of the value of the price its a waste of money. Kindda like its spam where they get you to buy it before you know its not a real game. Thers thousands of people that look at these games on steam so im sure that they are happy to take your money without making a real game. three dallors adds up with so many people. This is a review so you know what your paying for in my expierence. I bet steam had it voted on green light because of the peoples votes, but seeing the way the game comes together its not something youd want to pay for. Its like they couldnt find out how to make the story of the skeliten that you fight and make it into a game so they made it joke arround where you would think its fun to make you feel like you bought a game. but IT is poorly made and not good as a product worthy for syeam i feel. thanks steam for these cheap games you give us but this one was not fairly reviewed before adding it. Thanks to all The story could progress into a good game before released its a great theme with allot of potential But has to have more work deffinaty has to have more work. ( ALL IN MY OPPINION)

Despite all the negative reviews, I find this game surprisingly fun to play. Instead of having to kill monster after monster to progress, you explore and do small quests, which appeals to me more than needless violence. It's slow-paced and great for relaxing in front of. And as I'm not used to playing with a keyboard, I appreciate it greatly that the controls are so simple. Another thing I like about the game is the humor (kicking the town gossip!). I found myself smiling at many things while playing, and I'm looking forward to playing some more. The inventory thing was a little confusing to me at first, despite the little tutorial, but after a few times of combining items, I started to get the hang of it. I'd also appreciate it if you could click on items/people from afar, which doesn't seem to work at the moment. Unfortunately, the game seems to be a bit on the short side but with the low price, it's to be expected. I don't regret buying this game and I recommend it since you get a few hours of fun.

Decided to play this a little more offline and It seems like a game that really would be something that could use like a level editor with a workshop so people can add mods to this game, Like new villages for example or some more houses. I generally play more of the moddable games like for example Skyrim, There is so much you can do with it even after completing the game. I myself as being a 3D graphics designer/Modeler for a popular 3d/VR/chat environment called ActiveWorlds have also been working with skyrim mods off and on. I see so much potential that could be done with this game. this game may seem not much like one of my favorite games of all time which is Diablo 2. But however it has that slight Diabloish feel to it somewhat. Would I recommend this game, Sure would. Tho being on a fixed income I wait for games to go on sale. But if I had the money I would pay full price.
