Insurmountable approaches the roguelike-survival genre from an angle few games attempt, shifting the focus away from combat and spectacle toward the quiet brutality of nature itself. Instead of fighting enemies, you fight exhaustion, cold, dwindling oxygen, and the deceptive calm of a mountain that hides danger in every ridge and shadow. The game casts you as a lone climber attempting to conquer three immense mountains, each one designed as a self-contained gauntlet of risk evaluation and resource management. Movement takes place on a hex-based board that represents the mountain terrain, and every tile you choose to step on carries consequences. Snowfields drain warmth, steep slopes burn energy, high altitudes erode oxygen, and nighttime progression tests your sanity. The experience is slow, methodical, and unforgiving in a way that reflects real-world mountaineering more closely than most games ever try to. The choice of character class subtly shapes how a climb begins. Each class starts with a different toolkit—some offer better navigation, others bring improved resource management or scientific advantages—and these tools determine how you react to the unpredictable scenarios scattered across the mountain. As you explore, you’ll encounter caves, ruins, abandoned equipment, and mysterious events that may reward you with valuable items or deplete your scarce resources. The game continually pressures you to weigh the potential of reward against the possibility of disaster, and these decisions build tension into even the most mundane actions. Moving a few extra steps to investigate something off your path might earn you lifesaving gear, or it might cost you half your warmth on a cold night. Climbing becomes an exercise in constant calculation. As you progress through each climb, you earn experience that unlocks new skills and perks. These upgrades help smooth out some of the mountain’s harshness—granting better cold resistance, lower energy drain, or improved event outcomes—but they never trivialize the journey. No matter how well you build your character, the mountain remains the dominant force. Weather patterns shift, storms roll in without warning, and environmental hazards escalate the higher you climb. Even when fully prepared, the latter sections of a mountain can feel like a battle against inevitability, where survival hinges on a sequence of narrow successes and careful planning. The sense of accomplishment when you reach a summit comes not from conquering an enemy but from enduring everything the world has thrown at you. The visual presentation supports this tone beautifully. The mountain environments are rendered with a stark, cold clarity that emphasizes isolation rather than grandeur. Snowstorms obscure vision, nights fall with oppressive darkness, and the minimalist UI reinforces the idea that you’re alone with your thoughts and your supplies. Accompanied by a subdued soundtrack, the game cultivates an atmosphere that is both meditative and tense. There’s a strange tranquility to the landscapes, but it’s a tranquility that masks danger at every turn. The world rarely raises its voice, yet it feels hostile all the same. Insurmountable’s weaknesses stem largely from the constraints of its procedural design. Because the game relies heavily on random events and repeatable encounters, some of its surprises begin to lose impact after several climbs. Text-based events recur, certain outcomes become predictable, and the limited pool of equipment can make late-game decision-making feel repetitive. For players who enjoy deep or constantly evolving systems, these limitations may make the experience feel smaller than its premise suggests. Additionally, permadeath—while true to the roguelike ethos—can be unforgiving. One unlucky event or poorly timed decision may end a run that otherwise felt stable, which can frustrate players who want their careful planning to matter more than chance. Yet even with its imperfections, Insurmountable offers something genuinely refreshing. It captures the emotional weight of survival without resorting to violence, and it creates tension not through loud threats but through the steady erosion of your resources and resolve. Players who appreciate slow, thoughtful strategy will find that each climb feels like a story—one that unfolds through close calls, narrow escapes, and moments where everything seems lost until a lucky discovery turns the tide. The game’s greatest achievement is its ability to make you respect the mountain as an adversary, accept that setbacks are part of the journey, and savor the act of reaching the summit. For those willing to embrace its pacing and its challenges, Insurmountable stands out as a gripping, atmospheric, and contemplative take on the roguelike survival formula. Rating: 7/10

It is not a bad game but has some flaws. You can buy it when it is on a discount. I enjoyed playing it overall but would not worth over 5$ imo.

A really neat concept that I enjoyed. I might've gotten more out of it if there was co-op, but that's just me personally, I don't finish most single player games.

This is not a bad game, in rare genre, but a bit of repetitive.
