Vapor World: Over The Mind

In games like this combat is king, and this combat here is stellar. I don't care if a small team of 5 with limited funding had to cut corners from the story or cutscenes to solely focus on the combat. I can't emphasize enough how dialed in the combat is. The combat is visceral, punchy with excellent hit feedback. Enemy attacks are well telegraphed and the animations are on point. This game is like Salt and Sanctuary or Vigil: The Longest Night but with more beefy combat. My complaints so far are the HUD and voice acting. The HUD is so incredibly basic, it has zero color, just black and white and it's very small. I can barely distinguish between the health and energy meters. It really needs a rework asap. The voice acting sounds like AI. It really takes me out. But I don't play these games for the story. I'm here for the combat. Also the walking speed is quite slow. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. Overall there's something special here. If they keep at it, listen to the community, remove AI voiceovers, improve the HUD and keep adding content, the potential for a classic is here.

기대작이 드디어 오픈했군요!! 설정이 좀 불편한 점 외에는 저는 만족하며 플레이 중입니다. 일단 일러와 타격감이 아주 좋습니다. 2D로 이 정도 퀼리티 쉽지 않을 것 같은데 특유의 음침한 느낌이 마음에 드네요. 주인공은 뱀파이어? 강철의 연금술사 느낌도 나구요ㅎㅎ 전투는 손맛이 좋네요. 패링 후 번개가 터지는게 로아 저스트 가드 느낌? NPC의 하단 공격은 패링이 안되니 그게 어려웠던것 같아요. 이 가격에 이정도 퀼리틴데 부정적으로 평가 받는게 쫌 안타깝네요ㅠ 추후 업데이트때는 좋은 평가 기대하며 저는 재밌게 즐기겠습니다~

요즘 게임들처럼 깔끔하고 예쁘게 만든 느낌보다는 직접 손으로 그린 듯한 느낌이 강해서 좋음 특히 전체적으로 몽환적이면서도 살짝 어두운 분위기가 게임이랑 잘 어울려 그냥 돌아다니면서 배경 보는 것만으로도 꽤괞 ㅇㅇ 전투도 특히 패링이 잘 됐을때 오는 타격감이 꽤 맛있어서 처음에는 그냥 피하면서 잡다가도 어느 순간부터 패링 타이밍을 맞추려고 하게 되는데 직접 해봐야 느껴지는 손맛이 있음 다만 개인적으로 제일 아쉬웠던 건 역시 콘텐츠 양임 게임 자체의 분위기나 아트가 워낙 좋아서 이것저것 더 해보고 싶은데 막상 하다 보면 벌써 끝인가? 싶은 느낌이 좀 있었음 퀄리티가 좋아서 오히려 콘텐츠가 더 많았으면 좋겠다는 아쉬움이 큼 그래도 확실하게 자기 색깔이 있는 게임이라 지금은 게임의 재미를 충분히 보여주기에는 콘텐츠가 조금 부족한 느낌인데 앞으로 지역이나 보스, 스토리 같은 부분이 더 추가된다면 꽤 괜찮은 게임이 될 것 같슴다

OK. My opinion of this game is pretty simplistic. I played the game for a little while, got a good understanding of the combat system. And the world at large. The game is still in Early Access. They're still Working out some bugs and glitches. If anything, the issue I've had so far is. On cutscenes and certain times where it's supposed to focus on the main character or the object he's looking at, in cutscenes it focuses to a completely different area. This is really quite annoying when I'm trying to get. Put into the moment. On top of this, the game does not allow me to mess with FPS. Or any settings at all. It's obvious they're going with a certain motif. And they don't want people messing with certain settings. So I'll let that one go for now. Outside of that, the game itself is not a terrible game. I wish I had more context to what was going on. The biggest issue I've had so far is just figuring out what in the hell is happening. So far, it's a concept of dreaming. The game starts out with. Me trying to save someone. During this sequence I have a wolf arm. After this sequence is over, I still have the wolf arm. And am still wondering what is happening here. It gives off a concept of the dreaming or a dreamlike world, kind of like Poet Anderson. Dreamwalker. But I'm not quite sure yet. My policy when it comes to Early Access games is. Leave it alone. Buy it when it's cheaper. Wait until they've patched it out, finish the game and released a full finished version. Then dive in after giving my $0.02. So my opinion is it's not a terrible game. Most of the AI argument over the game has been dealt with. Most AI was removed. They have replaced it with all hand drawn art. But let's be honest here, who cares? Seriously, who cares? There are some people who lack the money, the talent and the resources to hire artists. They don't have the time or money. To get the artists they need. So they're going to rely on AI to help them out so they can get their game done. For this reason. I don't mind people using AI. It's when people want to. Rely solely on AI. That is the problem. So I hope they don't go down that road. But based on research I've done into the company. It doesn't appear that way. They did use AI at the very beginning of the game for certain cutscenes. Specifically cutscenes. But that's been removed. But traces of that still remain, which is why people are freaking out. This is just stupid. That people would freak out over AI. In this way. I digress. Tighten up some of the gameplay. Specifically, I don't know how to level the main character. I don't even know if there's a leveling system. I don't know if they're gonna implement one at a later date or if it's just deeper into the game. Tighten up the story a little bit. Add something at the beginning to kind of ground us in this world slightly. It doesn't have to be a spoiler. Just give us a little bit of grounding. When you're going from. A ladder to something in the foreground. Tighten that up. You're supposed to be able to use one of the sticks to move between the two, but it doesn't exactly work very well. Just tighten this up a bit. Add some **** lip synching. I don't really mind games that. Don't have lip syncing. But for a game this beautiful, when there's no lip syncing, it really takes away from the experience. If you guys don't have the money or time to add it, I understand. But still. I would really appreciate it if you guys would at least try to add some form of lip synching. I will leave a thumb up. But understand this is a thumb up in that the developers will actually fix these problems. Once the game is out of Early Access, I will redo this review. And add my final verdict. As for now, I'll give the game a solid three out of five. And it will have a thumb up. But remember, this thumb up is only because you're in Early access. Once the game is fully out. At that point, you have no excuse. For issues I've seen. But I'm hopeful. We'll see.

Just got a short session in, and honestly it's giving me major 2D Lies of P vibes and especially the MC's claw attacks which feel just like the Puppet String. Huge plus for the dark aesthetic and art direction, totally my thing. Btw could you make the font any smaller? I have to keep leaning in to read the text T_T

In all honesty, the devs are really cordial and they do listen to player feedback. With a bit more time and maybe this really could be a good game. So far this is my second favorite 2D Souls-Like, granted I've only played four or five 2D souls-like, but I liked the art-style and vibe of it all. Really looking forward to this and I hope this team of five devs will be able to pull through And thank YOU for reading my review. Safety and Peace be with you. And may the Greatest grant thee Enlightenment.

画面唬得一塌糊涂，UI烂的跟PPT一样，摇杆和上下左右按键是区分的，选项界面难操作。弹反手感可以，小怪霸体出招，还有群殴的时候远程近战一起虐，翻滚要按2下回避，跟个老头一样的翻滚，体验实在是太差了

2026/8/19 23:58 哈哈，我刚准备再速通一遍，结果声音和键位设置都存不上。这下玩到投币式街机了。在存档、键位、声音设置修好之前我是不会再打开这个游戏了。游戏可以不好玩，但别端上来这么一个满是严重bug的东西。 2026/8/19 23:00 其实玩了3小时，虽然不能完全看到整体关卡设计、后续敌人设计之类的， 但第一张图是打完了，还是能看出个大致路数的， 手感比较粘滞，并不像盐那样丝滑，但习惯了之后也还能接受。 战斗也逐渐摸到点门道，能稍微进行一波激烈打铁了。 然后我关游戏和朋友打了几把劫，再回来上线发现有更新， 噢，制作者声明不再用AI，挺好的，虽然我没看出来是AI。 结果更新完上线一看，档没了，真给我看傻了。 我还挺喜欢这游戏的，我刚决定了要接着吃的， 直接给哥们碗里清空了是何意味呢？ 我下线前是特意看了存档里有到工厂的进度的， 歇一会回来就剩个 开始新游戏 了，是不是有点太离谱了... 我这3个小时就这么消失了是吗？
