Malus

I have enjoyed my little time with the game so here's some thoughts Pros +Dark Theme +Art +Graphics, could be improved +Atmospheric +Music Cons -Unoptimized (Although, kudos for the loading time) -Clunky Combat -Clunky AI (e.g enemies running away or glitching up onto objects) -Clunky Movement -Bugs / Glitches (e.g I glitched through a locked door using a skill, I glitched up onto a wall using a skill) I see potential, that's why I decided to try the game out, for the price that it is, its worth checking out by all means! I can't see that 7€ (At the time of writing this review) Is too much to ask for, seems like the devs are actually trying to put out a decent product Since its a very early product, take it with a grain of salt at this point I hope to see the game develop in a good way

I'm recommending this game because of what I can see it becoming, not because of what it currently is, and because of the very low introductory price. Be aware that this game is currently not much of a game at all, but more of a proof of concept by a one-man development "team". The developer describes this game as the Dark Souls of ARPGs. This is both accurate and inaccurate, currently. Malus definitely has the atmosphere and feeling of danger of a Souls game, but unfortunately lacks the precision that allows those games to be a fun and fair challenge despite their difficulty. Sometimes clicking to attack does nothing, sometimes your shield won't come up, sometimes you'll lock onto the wrong enemy. Fighting a single enemy, especially bosses, feels quite good and challenging. Fighting groups of enemies feels messy and artificially difficult. If you want to play a polished ARPG right now, don't buy this. If you want to play something unique and interesting and are willing to overlook its flaws to support its development, it's worth the price.

This game is abandoned and not received any new updates since October 2021. Has massive game play issues things as simple as getting stuck on the environment constantly. Loosing progress and even loosing your entire save file. For a game in early access for multiple years it only had 1 quest which was very buggy and nothing more. The game appears to be abandoned and steam should remove it. That being said I do love the look and feel of the game, it has so much potential sad it has met this fate.

Pre-Pre-Pre-Pre-Alpha but still better, more enjoyable and less buggy than Wolcen.

abondend game, Last update from October 2021, dont buy it and pls Report it so its taken out of the store

very good game, beautiful graphics, a mixture of diablo 2, dark souls an poe, very dark, I loved this game hopefully the developer does not give up on this masterpiece, because this game has a lot of potential!!!!

Current date - September 2023 Last update from Devs - October 2021 Had potential, now faded to nothing - sorry to the devs, they seemed passionate but maybe flew too close to the sun. Developer received a cease and desist regarding the name Malus and seemed to be struggling in the last update notes. Wherever they are - i wish em well, but the game seems gone.

As much potential as the game had, it is now October 29th, 2022, 1 year and 8 days past the last peep from the devs. One more game abandoned, and one more reason early access sucks.
