Vessels of Decay

Vessels of Decay is a fun action adventure with beautifully crafted pixel art and a strong Nordic vibe. The combat feels tight and the world offers plenty of mystery and challenge. A great pick for fans of retro-inspired games with a modern touch.

Vessels of Decay is an Action Adventure game with pixel art graphics about two sisters Mud & Freja who venture together in post apocalyptic world. The game consists of 10 different stages where you get switched between Mud and Freja as the story progress. There are lots of secrets and collectibles in the world for you to discover as well as interesting puzzles to solve in order to progress through each level. There are also some platforming sections in the world but not heavily focused and can be completed by almost any average platformer players. There is a skill tree where you can upgrade and obtain new abilities and powers from slaying enemies and collecting points from them. There level designs and structures were very nice, made me really feel the post apocalyptic world. The controls were almost fine, there were few issues here and there but nothing that stopped my progress in my playthrough (Note: Platform played on was PC). The music and soundtracks were calm and matches the feeling of a lonely dying world. The boss fights were super nice and each required a certain strategy to overcome. The game starts a bit tough but you get stronger as you level up your skill tree. Recommended Action Adventure game with great pixel art for the fans of the genre. Overall Rating 9/10

This game has an interesting premise, a kind of parallel duality going on in it. That's nice but the game play is something to be desired. I find that the timing sequences can be difficult to hit just right and the very narrow birdges that result in repeated deaths are rather annoying. The game makes a point at one time to have you in timed safety areas with the wisps and combining it with the difficulty of the wisps lighting effect with the janky bridge mechanics makes it something to cause frustration in most people. I didn't buy this game for the art style, as it is rather simplistic in execution. So I wouldn't recommend it over all to people, unless they get it on a good sale.

《Vessels Of Decay》（《腐败血脉》）是一款以末世北欧为背景的像素风动作冒险游戏，游戏里我们将操纵为了复活母亲的芙蕾雅和穆德俩姐妹，踏上了在这末世废墟中寻找腐朽使者的旅途。 游戏的氛围感特别强。地图上的废墟、藤蔓和森林在像素画面里呈现得很有层次感，很多远景甚至能让人停下来看多几秒。虽然角色和怪物的建模比较粗糙，但这种反差反而让大体型BOSS的压迫感更强，比如第一次遇到野猪BOSS格洛松的时候，那种压迫感十足的追逐氛围就能让紧张的气氛直接拉满。 游戏主要玩法是典型的动作冒险+解谜组合，大体流程就是探索、打怪、解谜和BOSS战。游戏虽然是像素风，但地图的设计是相当的“立体”的，我们在里面探索的时候，可以攀爬、荡杆、跳跃，甚至有些区域的机关解谜需要观察多个房间之间的细节关联才能找到正确解法。这部分的节奏处理得比较好，不会过于烧脑，但足够让人保持探索的新鲜感。 主角姐妹俩在前期战斗力非常羸弱，只有轻重攻击、闪避、格挡、投掷和处决等几个基础动作，技能树需要随着剧情逐步解锁。游戏的节奏很特别，小怪的强度不是很高，但设计思路偏向“围殴+压迫”，基本都是一堆小怪在一起，在前期如果被三四个怪物包围，那也是很容易就重生再来的。不过游戏的各个BOSS战就设计得相当有意思，不同的BOSS都有自己独特的战斗机制，我们如果是一味蛮干是很难干掉它们的，基本都要利用地形和一些谋略，再加上不同技能的搭配，才能在那些各节奏快速的BOSS战里取得胜利。 《腐败血脉》在战斗体验和探索氛围上做得很均衡。像素风格虽然限制了角色和怪物的精细度，但废墟森林的背景和神秘的迷雾等区域都能很好的契合设计，加上双主角模式、较为刺激的战斗，整体来说游戏还是相当值得推荐的。 [quote]关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36224058/]老实人鉴赏家 [/url] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/laoshirenLSR]老实人评测[/url]：独立游戏爱好者聚集地，黄油绅士交流中心。 不错过游戏的亮点，不放过游戏的槽点，带给玩家最直观的测评感受。[/quote]

I remember playing the demo of Vessels of Decay, liking what it was going for but didn’t get a good feel for how things were implemented. The game released with mostly negative reviews for a while, many talked about the game breaking bugs and bizarre design decisions. 10 months later, The game is currently on sale with 90% off and it has received one big update to fix many of the reported issues. It is with these advantages that I was willing to give the full game a shot and see how it holds up, fearing that I might regret it. There are 10 chapters where you play with one of the two sisters depending on the story. Although the controls are mostly similar, they do have exclusive skills and one of the sisters can be made stronger with a skill tree. The gameplay is mostly fighting enemies, solving minor puzzles, finding out how to reach the exit and finding collectibles. The first good thing I can confirm is me completing the game without any issues. The only bugs I experienced were a few visual bugs or some minor things not worth talking about. The game’s music and sound effects carry the experience. The visuals can look very striking and pretty at times. Advancing further with the game was very enjoyable, there was enough variety between the exploring, puzzling, fighting and the occasional bosses at a good pace. The achievements were fun to get, most come naturally along with keeping track of doing enough actions (during fights) and focus on finding all the collectibles. The premise is intriguing, enough to keep you going even if more could have been said to flesh out the world and story. However, the gameplay is pretty typical and it’s far from perfect. Jumping is off, it’s easy to fall unintentionally often. There is no fall damage at least. The fights could use a lot of work, they don’t feel great. The finisher move doesn’t always work even. There is a lot of asset re-use with the environments and enemies, a bit more variety would have definitely been welcome. I can also imagine the game benefiting from having chapter select. Although I got all the collectibles first try, I can see it becoming frustrating if that wasn’t the case. Even though the game has enough flaws, I actually had a very good time. There weren’t any game breaking bugs that I experienced and I definitely don’t regret the purchase. It’s easier to recommend the game now with its current state and cheap sale price as long as you’re not expecting top quality and you don’t mind a bit of jank. It’s a relaxing game that is easy to get into and it doesn’t have complex mechanics. It took me around 6.6 hours to complete the game and get all the achievements except for one (for now).

Rigoberto Patapocha se parte la pierna y se le que toa pocha, no recomienda este juego

My Playtime:7.1 Hours. Gameplay :4/5. Graphics:Pixel/5. Replay-Ability:3.5/5. System: ROG Ally X I Am updating my review post patch from the developers. i can now recommend this game that the game breaking bug in chapter 10 has been fixed The Only Reason That I Can Not Recommend This Game Is Because Of A Game Breaking Bug That Is Stopping Me From Completing The Game In The Final Chapter. The Game Has Yet To Receive Any Patches For The PC Version To Tackle This Bug Or The Other Bugs That Are In This Game. The Dev or Devs Are Not Responding About The Chapter 10 Or Any Bugs Within The Steam Discussion Tab. Other Than That The Combat Is Descent, The Skill Tree Is Just Enough But You Will Need A Second Playthrough To Buy All Skills . Enemy Variety Is Not Too Deep You Will Be Fighting The Same Few Enemies Over and Over Until You Get To A Boss Fight. The Few Puzzles That You Have To Complete Are Basically The Same. Find Deer Head or Fight For Deer Head or Do A Little Sub-Puzzle For Deer Head. Plus Get Ready For Chapter 5 and 6 Slow Down. If The Chapter 6 Dark Room With Light BARELY Bright Enough Doesn't Get On Your Nerves You Are A Good One. I Want To Recommend But Can't Recommend A Game With A Bug That Could Potentially Keep Players From Completing The Game Like Me. I May Recommend This Game Once The Bug Gets Addressed Or Is At-least Acknowledged By The Dev Or Devs.

Game is trash got stuck in a deathloop

Довольно много багов, которые бросаются в глаза. Начиная переключением языка и заканчивая хождением спутника по пропастям, сквозь стены и так далее. И это всего за пару минут игры. Игра неплохая, но пока откровенно сыровата.

[h1][b]探索文明废墟，迎战腐败巨兽[/b][/h1] 《腐败血脉》打造了一个迷人的末日世界，游戏背景设定在文明终结之后，世界到处都是旧时代的残垣断壁和新生的森林与藤蔓，这里充斥着史莱姆、爬行者和各类腐败怪物。 本作采用像素风打造而成，周遭环境和远景看起来都不错，不过角色和怪物的精细度比较低，这种风格倒是更加体现Boss的浩瀚身材和世界的广阔。 游戏的主角是姐妹俩，二人本来在避难所休息，被突如其来的巨响吸引，不料误打误撞进入了一片迷雾区域，角色赫然在这里发现姐妹已死，身旁神秘的光球告诉角色将赐予其力量，不过需要一些回报。 转眼后二人出现在了另一片区域，姐妹安然无恙，仿佛一切都没有发生，冒险就此开始了。 游戏的类型为动作冒险，进入特定区域后敌人将从旁边刷出，角色可使用武器挥砍杀敌。 本作的动作系统和同类游戏相似，有轻攻击、重攻击、闪避、格挡等，将敌人打至残血还可以触发处决，处决过程中伴有短暂的无敌。 稍显遗憾的是手感有点软绵绵的，无论是击中怪物还是被其伤害到，都没有特别强的反馈。 游戏比较着重于探索，冒险过程中角色会在特定区域做出攀爬、张臂保持平衡、在杆子上摆荡等动作，此外虽然是俯视角，但角色依然可以做出跳跃动作，这在通过一些悬崖时很有效。 流程中还加入了一些简单的解谜元素，诸如同伴角色等待，主角去寻找机关打开挡路之物等。 《腐败血脉》的未来末日、像素美景、巨型Boss都让人记忆深刻，不过动作方面还需加强，目前游戏已经推出了首个大型补丁，解决了很大一部分问题，期待接下来的更新和优化了。 [quote]热爱游戏，畅玩游戏，分享游戏，专注鉴赏评测与深度解析 欢迎关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44110339/]游理游据[/url]，走进游戏世界，品味第九艺术[/quote]
