Runeblight

Really promising game. The movement and the weapons feel great. Very fluid, feels great to just run around dashing and shooting stuff. Difficulty is in a good sweet spot where it's not frustratingly hard, but you'll eat a ton of damage if you get sloppy and don't respect the enemies. Biggest weak point right now are the animations for the enemies. Attacks travel fast and it's very difficult to react to what's coming out until it's already active. Level design is pretty nice, especially the city area, Iresborough. The levels make for good combat sandboxes and once you push through and make some progress, you usually get a helpful shortcut to get back easier if you ever need to. Aesthetics can be gleaned well from the screenshots, but I still wanted to mention them in my review because this is my ideal kind of retro vibe. I just love the look of this world. Solid recommend at this price point. Still needs to cook some more for sure, but dev has been very responsive to feedback and quick to fix issues. And what's here already is plenty fun. Looking forward to what's to come.

i've bought three early access indie games today and refunded two (it's been a rough day). but this? a soulsy, hexeny, borderline kingsfieldy first-person metroidvania about regicide? this is wonderful. thank you devs for making me believe in indie early access games once again.

Firstly, I love the atmosphere and feel of the world, the game itself is well crafted and plays solidly. But this being marketed as a souls-like seems a bit misleading, the game is very easy. The combat just felt a bit lacking, I think if there was more feedback to your attacks, like big bursts of blood, it might help make it feel more rewarding. This game feels like it's begging to have more movement, the dash is nice but having access to slides, wall runs, wall jumps for example would open up a lot in my opinion. Lots of potential though! Definitely worth a play, I’m excited to see how it goes from here.

Atmosphere feels amazing, thanks to both visuals and music/sfx design. Movement is way better than I expected, combat mechanics feel good enough (kind of like dusk). If you like boomer shooters and dark souls, this is a must play.

Excellent OG thief vibes except just running around killing stuff (or being killed). Solid gameplay loop with a unique feel. Will be checking this out from time to time during early access.

A great mix of first person soulslike, and quake style combat. The world is already large and interesting, exploration is rewarded with treasures and notes scattered about, which create the feeling of being immersed in a history. There is a rune system similar to Hollow Knight, and traits that can be leveled up. movement is fast and satisfying, with a powerful dash ability. The game is similar to Frogmonster, though the amount of bosses is limited so far, there are many unique encounters already. I highly recommend supporting this already fun game.

Played the demo at Next Fest and instantly loved it! Hard but fair, awesome atmosphere and great music. Major kudos!

pretty good game so far that does things a little different than what you'd normally think of for the retro fps term. filled with great atmosphere and a lot of medieval themes with the pagan twists here and there. the rpg and souls elements worked pretty well especially after some updates. the open interconnected zones is nice and immersing. the combat for me was little rough at first but got better once i got the hang of the movement and using the outside to my advantage when needed.

friggin sweet

Taking a break to pee and want to leave a review. This game is awesome, it's clearly made with love by someone who truly, deeply gets games like Dark Souls and horror like Lovecraft. Seriously, this game is amazing.
