The Mystery of Devils House

great unique scary game in 2D as you can get. The biggest problem is the jump shouldn't be the up button it should be a regular button than this game would be perfect. I died so many times because of not jumping correctly. If your going to keep it this way then please dont make us start from the beginning after death

boring uninspired hogwash

Hate

The Mystery of Devils House is a story driven retro 2D pixel platformer/shooter. Explore retro pixel haunted houses and blast the occupants with supernatural ammunition, or something. The graphics are pretty bad (retro 2D pixel graphics never look good, that's why the professional industry stopped using them in the 1990s), and the resolution is capped at a 4:3 ratio. I guess the first rule of game development should be, "If you can't work out how to configure the resolution on a video game, you shouldn't be a game developer". Apart from these serious issues, the gameplay itself is pretty bad, jumping up and down is way to jerky and sudden, you get stuck in doors temporarily as you jump through. It's just not fun and the technical problems are distracting, too. It's just not good enough that I would recommend this game.

It wasn't bad but it wasn't good...

I was thinking about buy it or not, as you can see I got it :p is funny but need some updates. Can be a great videogame if add trading carts :D lml

لعبه حلوه ما فيها مشاكل و القصه مو ذاك الشي و الجيمبلي ما فيه شي ممتاز و العبه تختمها بي نص ساعة

Yikes. This is going to sound harsh, but I hope the Devs find a way to use my negative review constructively to improve on future games. What a pile of unfinished and unplayable hot garbage this is. This seems like it could be a fun game. If it would only work... I was puzzled by the lack of reviews for this title. I'm a sucker for cheap, indie games so I picked it up anyway and I've had nothing but problems with it. First, the opening text that sets up the story is a gigantic wall of text that made my eyes bleed. Paragraphs are your friend! Learn them, love them, use them! It was a huge pain to strain my eyes to read the text wall. But I did. Ugh. This is supposed to based off true story which was intriguing. But the actual gameplay and mechanics were crap. The controls were simple enough to understand. WASD or arrow keys for movement, click to shoot, space to jump, and a few other keys to swap weapons. I never got to swap any weapons so I'm not sure what they are. Just getting the game past the into screen should give you an achievement. I had to restart the game SIX times to get the intro screen to stop locking up the game. Oof. Once you can actually get to the part where you play the game, everything is on high speed and it's impossible to navigate. Something is clearly badly wrong with this game if it is working this poorly. It is in desperate need of performance patches and optimization tweaks. As it is: THIS IS NOT A FINISHED GAME. It's just some janky dumpster fire that someone put up for sale before completing the actual development stage. Just don't hold your breath for any patches or improvements. The last time it received any attention from the developer was one month after release, so it was basically dumped on Steam and abandoned.

recomendo.

Was soll man dazu sagen? Ziemlich mies in praktisch allen Belangen. Insgesamt langweilig und uninspiriert, Grafik untere Kante, Gameplay übel, Sound besser gleich ausmachen, englische Dialoge und Texte zum Brechen (leider nicht mal zum Lachen, oft einfach nur falsch). Die Atmospäre ist wohl nocht das Beste hier, aufgrund der nervigen Soundeffekte will aber keien Stimmung aufekommen Es gibt sicher noch schlechtere Billig-Trash-Games, letztlich kann ich es aber nicht mal für umsonst empfehlen. BTW: Irgendwie habe ich den Eindruck als würden die Steam achievements nicht funktionieren. Na ja, egal.
