Bought this on a sale and it feels like I robbed the devs. I've completed two of the three episodes but I already want to give it a big thumbs up. I simply love the level design. Every location feels fresh (Despite its theme being either necrotic or fire & brimstone) and brings a good amount of variety in the way you navigate them. They require some exploration like you expect in a game of this genre. And yet it's not the sort you would need to constantly look up a walkthrough, because the game would give you text pop up, giving you a hint what has happened after activating a switch. To put it simply, it strikes a perfect balance in my opinion. Weapon (or spell) variety feels good and each has multiple uses. Do you slash an enemy with your sword or use its magical charge to reflect projectiles back? Send a single tornado out to the foe or let multiple circle around you? But I can't forget to mention the transformations. You get to change into four types of enemies (I got to try them all in the tutorial. The wyvern is the one I still need to get in the actual game) once you find the appropriate spell. Each bringing three types of attack (using a recharging energy bar) and a special gimmick for getting around. For example the first you get is a snake that can get in narrow passages you would not be able to otherwise. And speaking of gimmicks just as the title suggests you can indeed raise vanquished enemies from the grave to assist you in combat. And there you have it. This is a true bargain and Iā€™m happy to give it my endorsement. Looking forward to finishing this and checking out the sequel!

the best part of this game is the named item Hands of necromancy. its a very good game. ironically ive always felt like necromancy in games was never really well done in games, mostly because games are always centered on making the player do the combat instead of being a suporter for their own mobs. its ironically strategy but it does not work that well, theres ways to do that like necromancy being focused on only one minion, letting you possess at will different mobs. but either way, its an ok game. hope the sequel improves the flaws. pros: - cool setting and art - very well designed - level design is very good, but it feels uninteresting after some time that it could have been a bit more rounded up. cons: - pacing is a bit weird and the game does not really feel like it was passed through the proper polish test. - reviving mobs is fun but it lacks controls, wish it was more welldeveloped. right now its more like you revive the closest dead enemy, so you can kinda choose to revive a tough mob to fight by your side - weapons are too boomshooty I only passed the first hub and passed the first boss. what i can say is that so far they understand. Play a bit, but after you get a bit bored just use cheats to spawn items and have some fun trying to see what is the limit of the engine.

This oldschool fantasy shooter is strongly inspired by Hexen, and it determines both its strong and weak sides. On one hand, it's atmospheric, set in a gloomy world of dark magic, with nice art and music. There's a lot of creative ideas with weapons, abilities and items, pushing the game into a metroidvania territory: there are lots of places you'll need to revisit once you have the right power. On the other hand, the gameplay has the pacing of a frozen snail: both you and your enemies are armed with slow projectiles, and there aren't too many of them anyway. Most of the game consists not of shooting, but of walking around huge multi-map level hub looking for things you haven't checked out yet. If "where the hell am I supposed to go" is the experience you enjoy, you'll find it here, well-made and aplenty. I, personally, am dropping it -- not because it's bad, but because I don't have patience for this.

I love this game, it's pretty much everything i loved about Hexen as a kid, brought back. .. Unfortunately, it's also got some of Hexen's faults, for me at least. Twice I got semi-stuck and spent over 30 minutes searching for something I had yet to interact with. Have had flashbacks to getting the same issue in Hexen's level 2. By all means get this one if you miss the old Hexen, this is very easily worth the low price :)

Bought this because a) saw the sequel was coming out, and 2) it was only $5. This has been one of the BEST expenditures I have made! It's worth triple the price- I haven't had this much fun in an "old skool retro boomer shooter" for some time! Well worth the money- I wish I could pay MORE for it!
