Kletba Vlčího Moru

"Kletba Vlčího Moru" is an indie 2D oh god my eyes. Seriously, this is hand drawn eastern bloc platformer where the developer didn't quite understand the premise of hand drawn art. See, in order to do a game with hand drawn art, you have to know how to draw. This would probably look better in pixelcrap than the elementary school artwork here, and that's saying something. Anyway, there's more to a game than the graphics, and this fails that part too. It's clunky, it's trying to be a metroidvania but fails... at least this is sincerely made, it's not an asset flip, there's no cash shop... I suppose we must be grateful for small mercies. This has some really mediocre looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarly visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 9 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, that's nothing.
