Soulforge Lost Path

Ну такое, начиная от перевода, до работы механик игры ужастно. Хитбокс героя не понятный, маневрировать между врагами не удобно.

У игры есть куча интересных идей, реализованных очень посредственно и куча механик, которые практически не работают друг с другом. Играть лучше на английском, т.к. перевод на русский откровенно слаб. Назвать игру посредственной - оскорбить посредственность.

I will do this one on a 10-point scale. First thoughts though, should you buy this game? Only if it is 7 dollars or below. It is basically a rogue-lite light. It has a lot of progression trees and aspects to it, but they are all rather superficial or set in a way that it just feels like filler and not genuine progression. If you don’t like reading long reviews skip to the total score. Graphics – 0.5 point total – 0.5/1 If you have been on Steam for more than 2 years, it looks generic in all ways possible. Yet, it does the job in letting you know what you are using and when. Performance – 2 points total – 2/2 Game runs fine I didn’t really run into any issues at all with lagging or frame drops like other rogue-lites. Loot/Progression – 1 point total – 1/3 I had to merge the loot and progression together as they basically use the same resources except for the weapon crafting. You have several progression aspects, the size of your bag, base stats, skill bonuses, crafting materials and they all are interwoven. The problem with this is that it makes it so it feels like an artificial time-sink, which wouldn’t be so bad if there was variety. The skills are simple and poorly aimed at least when playing on mouse and keyboard. Plus, when you go into the skill tree you realize it is extremely punishing in the aspect that some parts of it counter other parts of it. Thus, you are left having to focus on your weapon, but oh there is a big issue there. It takes from extraction shooters and the like where you have a chance to lose your gear and that said gear only really has 3 tiers. Yes, you can smelt it and add more stats. Only problem is that those materials went into, can you guess it? The skill tree and your stat tree. So, you are stuck playing the same map, same small skill and weapon variety, poor aiming and it just gets really boring really fast. In addition to this, you only have one character. No variety there either. Gameplay/Rogue-lite – 2 points total – 2/4 So now you see the loot and progression is kind of stalled artificially. You are stuck on one character who has no real benefits to playing as them. Plus, lots of lackluster replay ability, what do you do? You then stack up your bag with one weapon, yes one weapon. I guess the character only has one arm? But you also have to stack your bag with all the bonuses so you can take the fights easier. Remember though, if you die you only get to take a few items. So, all those items you brought and went through different runs to create? They are gone when you mess up. Not to mention, that some of those items you were bringing hoping that you got the skill for them. Then if you did not get the skill for them, you also lost space in your backpack and you risk losing them if you didn’t put them in the mine cart. Which you lost space for resources you were hoping to bring back. Total Score – 10 points total – 5.5/10 So, to summarize, the game is great for masochists who want an extraction rogue-lite. Big problem with it though is it lacks in every aspect that makes it fill these two game types. The progression, the rogue-lite, the variety all feels copy and pasted from every other game to make it nothing more than generic. With resources shared across all core concepts to prolong gameplay that is lacking. You want combos? Limit your ability to extract resources. You want resources? Risk losing everything or replay the same map with poor resource output. I would not recommend this game unless you have money to waste, I know they have potential for more but this game needs a lot of work.
