Phantom Halls

I was given this game as a birthday gift from a friend back when it was in Early Access, I tried it and enjoyed it but did not stick with it. when the full release came out I said I would go back and check it out, I am glad I finally did. this is a fun time killing game with a lot of enjoyable nods and tropes for horror movie fans, I have put 36 hours into it in about a week and I have pretty much completed the game. I went through and unlocked everything I could. If the game had DLC I would buy it, and if there was a sequel I would pre-order it. My only complaint is that the game is over.

[b]Early Access Alert:[/b] Opinion is subject to change during development. [b]Worth It? NOT YET[/b] FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER (After struggling with the control scheme and overall repetitive, boring gameplay, I lost all desire to continue playing, hence the low play time.) [h1]LIKES[/h1] [list] [*]Charming paper-craft aesthetic [*]Evil Dead "Ash" character tie-in is rad [/list] [h1]DISLIKES[/h1] [list] [*]Controls are cumbersome on keyboard/mouse, feels a bit better using controller [*]Combat consists of spamming one button [*]Enemies are one-dimensional [*]Animations are rigid [*]Pacing is slow [/list] [h1]The Final Word[/h1] Early impressions are everything and unfortunately Phantom Halls could not deliver. After initially enjoying the paper-craft aesthetics, it became clear Phantom Halls still needed a lot of work at this point in Early Access; a risk of playing games in active development. Boring, repetitive gameplay and clunky controls are at the heart of my overall sour experience. Navigating the halls of a randomly generated mansion feels the same every time as you fight the same enemies, search the same drawers, and open the same doors. The game supports active combat but feels cheap, light, and un-impactful. Searching for gear is heavily RNG-based, which is fine, but standing even a small chance against certain enemies will require a fire-arm, and if you don't find one early on you might as well restart. The exploding bugs were the main cause of my frustration -- blowing up in your face within melee range forces you to take them out from a distance -- damn near impossible without a gun. Still, it's early days and the developers could turn this around. As of the date of this review, it's merely a phantom of its own idea.

TRUTH: A lot of additional things DEV want to make can't be done because budget cut. Still, with the core game system and main story of the game is here. It did not feel lacking content or unfinish. It's a SOLID fun side scroll game. Also, the price is right. You get more out of what you pay with the normal price already.

despite being early access, this game gets real boring and repetitive quickly. The developers need to expand on gameplay in general. I will revisit this when it is released to give it another shot

Played at EGX 2017 and loved it so I came home and brought the game for myself and really love it, one thing that could be improved is the sensitivity on controllers.

Bought this game because the Evil Dead movies are some of the best horror movies ever made and you can play as ash and it looked like cool game to. Played one level died trying to master keyboard and mouse controls switched to controller much easier if useing keyboard and mouse I would remap keys not sure if you can. Managed to escape on second go all in all this game is good but after a few updates and hopefully multiplayer this game could be excellent.

Nearly 5 hours of play, having a blast. Looking forward to future fixes and content updates. Some levels seem painfully under-resourced for items and weapons, but this is rare. Definitely recommend giving it a go, it's a charming little romp for any fan of haunted houses and horror. And, of course, now there's Ash and the Cabin!

das ist ein sehr gutes Spiel wegen Ash Williams

I was very hesitant about purchasing another early access game but this one did not disappoint. There are many characters to choose from as well as unlock and endless hours of fun to be had killing ghouls of all sorts in the haunted house of your very own nightmares. Just kidding, it is really good though and I would reccomend you give it a chance. Not sure if it is worth ten dollars at this point, there is surely enough content but does it hold up is the question? Idk. Good game though, nonetheless.
