The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu

It’s basically exactly like the game R.E.P.O., except it has better graphics and more interesting monsters. It’s a bit annoying that it has some bugs, though. For example, sometimes you can’t collect certain items from the ground — it looks like you pick them up, but they don’t actually get added to your inventory and just disappear. Overall, it’s a decent game to have fun with friends. As a singleplayer experience i don't think is worth playing.

7,5/10

bel gioco e divertente ma troppo caotico hahahah

Schmiert die ganze Zeit ab der Scheiß!!!!!

Très bon concept et gameplay, malheureusement encore souvent buggé même si ça n'empêche pas de profiter de l'expérience de jeu. Les personnage, armes et équipements manquent de personnalisation.

It's certainly not a perfect game, but it's a very refreshing take on a dehydrated, then freeze-dried, then squeezed and juiced genre of extraction games. Me and my coop partners haven't gotten very far into the island yet, but I can tell you what I find I like, what I find I don't like, and what I haven't fully decided if I like or not. [hr][/hr] [h1]Likes[/h1] Long walks on the beach The sanity/hallucination system. Monster Design Melee feels weighty, blocking feels reliable. (apparently blocking wasn't implemented in the original release) Sound design is solid! The main loop kept us wanting to just do one more! [h1]Dislikes[/h1] Lack of progression options on the ship (the social hub and launch point) seems to make the economy fairly useless. Levels look like they could get repetitive fairly quickly. Current weapon durability system. [h1]Unsure, yet[/h1] I haven't decided if i like where the time limit sits now. I'm putting this under unsure as it could very well be my evil completionist agenda interfering with my opinion. If we have to have minimal UI for the firearms/bows, please let us practice and see exactly how the weapon interacts. I like the actual realism, but dislike how the bows/arrows interact with the training dummies. The twig snapping system. The proximity chat is so close to perfect, but I do think drops of a bit TOO quick. [hr][/hr] [h1]Overall[/h1] We had a ton of fun with a little frustration. Some of it certainly caused by our own ineptitude, others caused by some mechanics that weren't clear. I cannot imagine the melee system without blocking and presumedly range/dodge based as that sounds like a nightmare. Melee combat does feel very great, stealth system seems fairly well-balanced with most enemies seemingly already facing the direction you are coming from, however. The dread is there, the lovecraftian cosmic element is there, the sound is there, and the levels ARE very good looking. I would like to see some more implementation of things to do with tokens to make them feel actually useful, as in its current state it does seem like an arbitrary thing pushed in to make an economy where one isn't needed. You're already providing supplies, but then making people decide if they should spend tokens to upgrade for THAT run, or buy a couple of consumables. May as well just take that out and give people more or less to complete their missions!
