Seeing that this is somehow, [i]bafflingly[/i] still sitting at mixed even 4 years later, I'm updating my review to provide some more context.
The Yellow King is not a complete game. It's mostly a tech demo with controls made by someone who has clearly never played a PC game, or at least not one since the standardization of WASD movement and mouse aim, which means the last game they played predates the original release of DOOM, which had support for mouse look even on DOS. The controls are so bad as to prevent people from playing the game, even when it was being developed.
You may have noticed the past tense I used there. Sometime after launch (this game was $30, by the way) it went on a rather large sale to promote a new update. This was in June of 2020, so roughly 4 months after launch. The sale was something like 30-50% off and came with a slew of minor updates and some dungeons.
This was the last update the game would see. Since then, the game has been radio silent, aside from a price drop at some point to $10. The controls are still awful, the game doesn't really work, and no one plays it because it's bad. The devs, Spellbook, have continued making other games in the meantime, while ignoring this one completely and not interacting with the community. The context of the last patch being paired with a sale stinks of a "take the money and run" mentality, of Spellbook doing their damnedest to make as much money off this steaming pile as possible; leaving it up, and even reducing the price continues this narrative, as they hope people buy it by accident and never refund it.
I would advise against ever supporting this developer/publisher again. The list of games to avoid which they have had a hand in on steam can be found by clicking the dev link at the top of the page. Do not buy or play anything they have released.
