Kun’tewiktuk: A Mi’kmaw Adventure

I am enjoying the game so far, simple game play, doesn't play unfairly at all. The hit boxes could use some touch ups mind you but that's a thing in lots of games. The 2 issues I have are the lack of a settings menu for adjusting the in game volume... I could NOT find it.. also.. it's.. so.. bright... I am photosensitive and some things were just FAR too bright for me to continue playing. I loved what I got to experience, but my head started pounding after a couple hours and I couldn't take the brightness after that... Gameplay, great. Also LOVE how everything is voiced, though a few of the subtitles are missing in some cut scenes.. overall i'd give it a 7/10.

This is a really well put together game. The graphics are amazing. Controls were a bit difficult for me, but I'm not very skilled with the controller. The different mini-games are interesting. I enjoy hearing the Indigenous language and learning of their culture. I have only just started this game, so my opinion may change further in, but for the 3 hours I've played, I can say that I recommend the game because it's really very enjoyable. You do need to read the captions/subtitles to understand what's going on if you don't speak the language, but you can pause at any time and read what's being said, so that's not a huge deal. Well done!

I was really quite excited for this game after backing it on kickstarter- but the movements are so Janky. I backed because the art and supporting native languages and culture- but personally find the game unplayable. The graphics are not very good, it clips and lags and the movements are very weird- throwing a spear i thought I was doing it wrong many-many times over because I couldn't even tell it was being thrown it stays in your hand and shoots like a light of a spear or something out? Odd.

This game is surprisingly fun. It is also cool because it is a home-grown Mi’kmaw culture featuring a vulnerable language. I’d say, it is worth the amount of money, as it is a superb adventure in an idyllic setting. Most of the game mechanics are simple and such but I think it is worth it. I love the purple aesthetic as the environment. It is unique and uncommon colour choice. Combat is fun too. There are some rough edges, and I do hope it gets polished. Other than that, I can’t complain. Also, I had backed the game via kickstarter and I thought it was cool..

A challenging game. Varied action should appeal to most gamers.

This game is actively in development, it is not a final product. I understand that what I am playing is essentially an "alpha test". The developers have done many remarkable things with this project and it is quite beautiful to look at. I expect they will continue to implement improvements and that this will become a very fun game to play for young and old alike. The story and characters are great, the extensive voice acting in the Mi'kmaw language is amazing. the game is fun now (May 2025) and I only expect it to get better in the future with improvements to the combat and movement. Awesome job so far.

I'll edit this review to provide more detail later, but for now, this game definitely deserves my recommendation!

Les décors sont magnifiques mais c'est hélas le seul point positif concernant ce jeu... Le game play n'est pas abouti, les mouvements et la visée ne sont pas précis, trop de bugs qui font freezer le jeu régulièrement, seule solution reprendre une ancienne sauvegarde, la cadence est trop lente. Je suis malheureusement très déçue car ce jeu paraissait prometteur mais il y a encore trop de choses à rectifier.

It's defiinitely rough in some ways; needs minor quality of life updates, but I do like it and hope to finish the story (I assume it's already finished. I'm mostly blind to the game) at some point. OH and the achievements are 100% broken at the moment (2025/8/Oct)

Love the idea of an indigenous, home-grown game featuring a vulnerable language, and the end product is a great effort for what is a first release for most (if not all) of the devs. The game is polished in some ways you wouldn't expect it to be, and unpolished in some ways you would. The animations are extremely well-done; none of the clunkyness you would expect from an indie game like this. The graphics and open world are also quite beautiful (if sometimes confusing); the style, cultural orientation, and general gameplay remind me a lot of Okami, which is one of my favourite games of all time. That said, beautiful as the graphics are, the fact that the graphics options and key bindings are completely locked leaves a lot to be desired, to say the least. 30FPS is not an acceptable framerate cap for a game in 2025; even consoles run 120FPS nowadays. The graphics are nowhere near resource-intensive enough to require this lock, and building a PC game for consistent experience across different hardware makes 0 sense. Demanding a controller makes no sense either, since PC games use mouse and keyboard by default (note that you CAN use mouse and keyboard, but you can't rebind keys and all of the on-screen tooltips assume you have a standard Xbox controller). Other than these problems (which at least seem relatively minor and fixable through updates) the game itself is solid, and I am recommending it based on that. That said, the problems are salient enough vis a vis other games in my library to overshadow the experience as a whole, so I really hope the devs will fix them. Please just give us a standard Options menu ffs.
