User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
I want to be honest here. The game deliveres what it shows. Ninjastyle-stealthsections and dark soulsy combat. But(t). It has very limited weapons. Claws, Sword&board and greatswords. And those in different flavours as of statscaling and special attacks. The combat has its rythm, with some practice you can feel invincible parrying everything. Then there are the bosses. Mostly they are fine, but some feel just unfair with either comboing you from 100 to 0 with out any chance to get away if you miss a parry or some unblockable AoE that just hits you. Enemy variety is limited, you'll learn what each one does as you will encounter them over and over again in their respective area Then there are some issues with the menus, fasttravel and general controls. Very often I got stuck on some wooden pole during a fight and got slaughtered, or my camera jerked around colliding with something. And last, do not even attempt to run this game on lower hardware. It will stutter in single fps and be absoloutly unplayable. would I recommend this game? Yesn't. If you can handle unpolished jank its good fun. The game expects you to fail and try again, runbacks are short, shortcuts are plenty, but this won't be a nice stroll through an adventure.
To be honest, I had considered buying Kristala at release but the early reviews scared me off and at first I wrote off the game as yet another indie game loaded with bugs that would never be worth my time, but I kept seeing posts on Reddit about the devs pushing patches like crazy so I decided to come back and give it a chance, and I am really glad that I did because now I am hooked. While I’ve enjoyed pretty much everything about it so far from combat to jumping around and traversing the world like I would imagine any humanoid feline would, I actually think the part I’ve been most impressed with so far is the level design and interconnection of the world. I saw some people asking for a map but I’ve found the world extremely intuitive and easy to memorize, especially due to the clever shortcuts and interconnectivity of the world. It honestly reminds me in so many ways of Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne and has given me many of the same feelings I had when playing those games for the first time and falling in love with the genre.The cherry on top is the amazing voice acting. If you’re on the fence, give Kristala a chance. It’s in a much better state now after all the patches and I can tell the developers really care about their game.
Sigh. Where do I even start? I just finished the game and honestly, the overall concept is amazing. There’s so much potential here, which is what makes it even more disappointing that it failed to fully deliver on what it was trying to be. I lost count of how many lag spikes and random stutters I experienced throughout my playthrough. Enemies would randomly stand still or run in place, only to suddenly hit you with a red attack the moment you got close enough. Trying out different builds also became frustrating because half the time I was worried I’d fall through the ground mid spell, or have a boss freeze and unfreeze/teleport directly to me and one-shot me. And don’t even get me started on the hitboxes. Being behind or beside a boss while it’s attacking in another direction still somehow gets you killed because the slightest touch registers as a full hit. The frustrating part is that I genuinely wanted to see the good in this game. I wanted to enjoy it because underneath all the issues, there actually is a fun game here. The quests were interesting, the world and storyline kept me engaged, and the weapons and armor were genuinely enjoyable to experiment with. But the technical problems add up over time, and it makes it really hard for me to recommend this game to others in its current state. Honestly, I wish it had stayed in early access longer because right now it feels more like an unfinished project trying to present itself as a finished release. That said, if you’re someone with patience and can look past the issues, there’s definitely fun to be had here. Otherwise, I’d recommend waiting for more updates. I can absolutely see this game becoming something great. it’s just not at its best right now. Still, thank you to the developers for the work and passion put into this project. There’s clearly something special here, and I genuinely hope the team keeps pushing forward because this game has the potential to become something truly great over time.
