The Maze: Humanity

the game has tonnes of character, but it is extremely janky played on index in singleplayer: -the hands are very poorly aligned, and no finger tracking -hla style force grab is strange -ammo and points system is confusing -main gameplay seems like it'd get stale in no more than an hour of play -its too easy to grab the wrong thing -screens are wayyy too close to your face like yeah I don't mean to be extensive or super critical here, but overall the game feels like it's only 5-10% the way in development. Lots of interesting stuff going on, but it is all extremely half baked and also comes off as super janky and strange. this said, a fun moment was I dual wielded some neon green bowling bowls, and was able to brawl 10 demon gremlins to hell nonetheless I'm interested for where this game ends up in 3 years, since it's obvious the devs have a strong hand for art, theming, and overall mechanics -- but it's wayy too janky and rushed

The Maze is a coop dungeon crawler with a variety of weapons and guns. At the start of each level you get a gun and a melee weapon per player, and you can find more weapons on tables throughout the level. There are medkits to heal and revive your team and it looks like you get healed after combat (health per kill maybe? not sure). As you get deeper into the Maze the enemies get bigger and badder. When I started the game I was pleasantly surprised by the weapon handling. Every item is physics based, so you can push them against walls and such without them phasing through. The guns are pretty easy to use, but ammo is scarce so you must use it wisely. I played with a friend, so we figured it out as we went along and after a few short-lived attempts, we finally started getting the hang of it, despite the chaotic enemy encounters. Some things I would like to see added or improved on are character customization (currently only a samurai outfit that you can change the colors of), more levels and interesting level design (maybe more height difference, obstacles to clear, etc), and maybe another mode for a combat arena, since it's pretty fun to fight enemies. Overall, this game has loads of potential and is already a blast to play with a friend. It definitely has a few things that still need to be polished, but what is already here works enough for it to be an enjoyable experience.

Be sure to hold your battle buddy tight.

突如世界中に現れたポータルに人々が吸い込まれ消えていく。ポータルで飛ばされた先は異形の魔物たちが彷徨う"Maze"。人類滅亡の危機が迫る。 というようなイントロで、絶望感が漂う雰囲気がとてもいい感じです。 ダンジョン探索をしながら剣や銃火器でモンスターと戦い進んでいきます。 物理判定がしっかりしていて敵の攻撃をパリィ可能なのでFPS好きだけでなく剣戟好きでも楽しめる戦闘システムになっています。 まだAct.1までのリリースですが、難易度はかなり高いです。気を抜くと簡単にやられてしまいます。敵に見つかるとすぐに増援を呼ばれ薄暗いダンジョンを追いかけ回されながら戦うことになり、攻略中は常に緊張感があります。特に初めてボスに挑むときには、たぶんほとんどのプレイヤーが途中の演出で「あ…勝てない…」と絶望することができると思うので、一見の価値ありです。 最大3人までのマルチプレイ対応です。おそらくマルチ推奨の難易度だと思いますが、頑張ればソロでの攻略も可能です。難易度高めなので一人でクリアできたときはとても達成感があります。マルチでわいわいやるとかなり盛り上がります。 バグが散見されることや、ポールアーム・近接武器両手持ちの挙動が利き手依存など、気になる部分はありますが、ゲームを楽しむ上での致命的な問題はほぼ解消されているように思います。今後の開発にとても期待がもてるゲームです。

Great game and one of the best Dev i ever met. If you want a game to relax and have fun with friends, this is the right one. Cant wait for future updates.

this game slaps, its pretty hard tho if you play solo. with two ppl its doable. unique style for sure, i def need to play more. the dev is amazing and is still adding stuff. i played on pico 4 and had no problems at all.
