Sword Tale : Lost Excalibur

"Sword Tale : Lost Excalibur" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce in Thailand. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. This is a really unpolished VR tech demo from the Thai students, a basic first person brawler mangling anime and Arthurian legend together badly. It's a clunky mess that doesn't work well, and of course, as a student project, will never be finished, fixed or polished to an acceptable standard. The graphics aren't great, low poly, low quality game assets and some suspiciously character generated/flipped character models. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. It would be unethical for students to try charge money for their homework assignments, so you don't have to pay any money for this. But you'd still have to spend your time downloading this, and "time is money", as they say. There's the other problem, too... as a student project, this wasn't made for gamers. There's no requirement for them to polish and balance the game properly, all they need is something to show the faculty so they can get their grade and move on. Let's once more ask... why is that good for gamers? It's obviously not delivering a solid product. Yet here it is, on the store page, and here you are, reading my review for a student demo that's going to waste your time. While genuine amateur developers who made real products get ignored because they have to compete with this stuff. In some ways, this deluge of student projects on Steam is harmful to everyone. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 5 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Given that this free student project won't count toward your game collection or add any achievements, and because it's not really a full game and more of a homework assignment, it's not a worthwhile download.

It does work in VR with UEVR. But without controller support it's not worth playing. I don't play keyboard games in 2025. I stopped that in the early 2000s.

SOA ripoff with bad mechanics and jank fights. Your char will stop if you block, wont pullout new sword when one breaks and the enemys just rush on you while making monkey sounds... Its too hard to be a childrens game and too janky to be anyone elses.. 2/10 because for the 20mins i played it, it did work and didnt crash.

Пане розробнику, в мене є до вас одне питання. Ви знаєте, чи взагалі чули, що таке баланс битви ?
