Pretty impressive for a free game especially the opening cinematic. It’s still a bit rough around the edges and feels more like a demo than a finished product, but there’s definitely some fun to be had here.
My gambling addict friend said if I post a review and it gets 150 likes and 50 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer, some vodka and 1 kg of lemon So im just gonna leave this here. Мой друг-игроман сказал, что если я опубликую отзыв и он наберет 150 лайков и 50 наград, он купит мне ящик пива, немного водки и 1 кг лимона, так что я просто оставлю это здесь.

Am I Elden Lord now?
I was going to give it a try, but you don't have look inversion, which is absolutely bananas in 2025. Uninstalled.
Life changing game, this game is truly a 1 in a million. One of the best games I've ever played. Babugal is the absolute GOAT and anyone who says otherwise is lying, I recommend this game to anyone who wants to experience PEAK.
Sürgünlerin Parçaları, lanetli bir ortaçağ dünyasında geçen karanlık bir fantastik aksiyon-RPG oyunudur. Düşmüş bir kral, lanetli bir kraliçe ve güç düşkünü bir gaspçı, ülkeyi harabeye çevirmiştir. Sürgündeki varis olarak ayağa kalkmalı, güçlü düşmanlarla yüzleşmeli ve hakkın olanı geri almalısın.
Очередной соулс-лайк, который не понимает суть соулсов. Много чего можно сказать про игру. Жаль, что всё в негативном ключе. Да, она в раннем доступе, но то, что существует сейчас – плохо. Управление очень неотзывчивое. Приходится спамить кнопку, чтобы увернуться или ударить. Сами удары непонятно от чего зависят, ведь иногда персонаж делает один удар и хоть ты сломай кнопку больше ударов не будет. Хотя комбинация может быть до трёх ударов. Локации перенасыщены желто-зелёным туманом, что делает их максимально безликими. С врагов падает много расходников, которые не нужны, потому что враги простые. Сами враги однообразные во всех локациях. Shards of the Banished это первый проект разработчика GreenBeamStudio, да к тому же вышедший в раннем доступе. Оптимизации в проекте не ощущается. Во время просадки до двадцати кадров удары проходят сквозь врагов, не нанося урона. Возможно, через много-много времени, когда игра выйдет в полный релиз, она будет хорошим проектом, но пока что это плохо.
for a free game its good, the game play is simple, would 100% recommend. -stamina depletion is too slow and regain is too fast, at that point there is no point in having it -the shard guy in the house up the hill needs some soldiers for prot -was stuck between rocks and walls, but respawning helped -the shard guy in the ruins needs a better place, he was close to the wall so i took him out using the explosive consumables and skipped the fight. other than that i would def play again after some updates.
Rough around the edges, but overall a good 90 minutes! Gives me PS3/Xbox 360 era vibes.
Very early access. But if you don't mind the jank, and missing floor textures making this more an exercise in trial and error, Then can recommend if you enjoy souls inspired gameplay as I do.
