Deliria

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Draskir the Wise Critic? I thought not. It's not a story a normal gamer would tell you. It’s a Steam Review legend. Darth Draskir was a Dark Lord of the Steam Reviews, so powerful and so wise he could use his keyboard to influence the Steam algorithms to completely tank a game's rating on day one… He had such a profound knowledge of the first sixty minutes of gameplay that he could even judge a 5-year solo project based on a temporary building bug and a few starter slimes... He had such a profound knowledge of the launch day meta that he claimed he could even keep indie projects he cared about from failing. The refund window of the Force is a pathway to many opinions some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his high-and-mighty standards, which eventually, of course, he did when people actually read his logic. Unfortunately, he told a solo dev to pull the game from the store right after he finished his first hour of playing. He blasted the project based on a single temporary building bug and a few starter slimes, completely killing its sales on release. Ironic. He claimed he could save other games from failure, but his own feedback only brought destruction.

Very very very ambitious game. Even though I give it a thumbs up, I would totally recommend people to be cognizant that this is an unfinished game when purchasing. It starts out very slow, but once you get some speed boots like in Terraria, things change for the best in a great way. The movement feels very slick, you can zip around the world after getting geared up, and it has a lot of built in functionality that I'm honestly surprised to see off the bat. The dev has been hotfixing and working hard on it following its release, and I think it has a lot of potential.

I bought Deliria about a few hours after it came out for its original price, annoyingly it released on like 9/3 instead of 8/31. the game was on my radar for a while because like many others, the game looked rather interesting. I beat the game in it's current state with my friend, it was fun and we enjoyed it and will absolutely come back to play content updates. It's pretty much what I expected when I think of "3D Terraria". If Steam reviews had a midpoint between Yes and No that is where I would put it. I cant really recommend it now, but definitely later with proper updates, polish and patches. TLDR: unfinished, more like an early access game, bad release, buggy game, wait for patches to buy if you have hope, most of the listed things will definitely be patched/worked on. The game has that weird cheap feel and I'm a fan of it, it reminded me of 7-Days, Ark, and others. It's cool to see everything before it gets changed like placeholders and such. funny to see all the weird monster models. the cave structures and ore clusters reminded me oddly of Subnautica. I'm a huge fan of the world size and environment compared to the player and the vastness of world-gen. having a 3rd dimension to move in is a godsend. I like the combo system/sword combat, the enemy Lock-on is a very nice feature. Melee weapons are good for crowd control, ranged weapons are good for bosses. I can stun enemies and I am not getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the ass 24/7 by contact damage and have all my health disappear because I grazed an enemy/projectile once. It feels like defense actually does something. all the bosses are manageable and not really difficult. I did not have to turn my brain off and spend 10-30 minutes building platforms just so I can spend another 30 minutes on fight attempts and I could just simply run around and shoot the boss while not taking too much damage, movement speed is sufficient. I don't have to deal with NPC housing being "too small" at all, and god forbid they ever add a "happiness" feature. very neatly standing on Hellstone doesn't melt your HP in seconds and is just a slight burning effect, hell is not made of lava and I can actually walk around, didn't have to make a giant map-wide boss platform. interestingly there is no water/lava in the game. you also likely won't run out of altars to smash or evil orbs to break for items or to spawn the boss which is really nice, ore would also be practically infinite, the game could even add regrowth. boss summons also drop from killing the boss :) Mini-shark is OP Spawn rate could possibly be tuned but it never ended up being a problem, and sometimes enemies would rarely spawn. would like to have less/shorter blood moons. Terrain has some inconsistencies mostly in terms of building structures but it can be improved. Would definitely like rope for traversing vertically, in caves and places. grappling hooks should have their own equipment slot. would like to see wedge/stair and half-block building options, in fact it would be nice to take inspiration from 7-Days block system with all the options. maybe some way to increase the mining size for pickaxes, not necessary. I would prefer if the Necronomicon was a UI element like "Boss log mod" and not an item I have to interact, but I like the cutscene and ambience that plays when you open it and putting together the little Herobrine totems. would like a zoom-out feature for the minimap, and a quicker way to open the large/entire map instead of accessing my inventory. I got used to the UI and don't mind it but it could use some cleaning up or a do-over and the Menu is definitely a little weird with the moving player and such, sometimes I get overlapping/duplicate UIs in the menu. As of posting, I believe two patches have came out, however they have not posted any of their changelogs on steam so there is currently no way to know what they changed unless you are in the Discord. Steam achievements now register, but did not previously. Extremely faulty multiplayer, Issues connecting and loading in. trying to load into a server will send you back to the menu and the server you tried to join will completely disappear. if you do manage to load in, there will be no terrain and the player character won't exist. there is a chance your player character will load in, but at that point everything will load and you can play, or you will fall into the void and despawn, forced to leave. after only a few hours of playing, exploring and storing items in chests, the world and characters became too large. This prevented my friend from loading in and we spent 30 minutes minimum trying to figure out what was going on, then we started a fresh world with the same characters and he loaded in instantly. I sent the world file to my friend and the structures did not pass over but we were able to use and play on the same world and simply had to rebuild and dig tunnels again. Killing bosses out of order messes with the Necronomicon and clears every boss before it rather than only marking itself as "slain". We killed "Eye of Deliria" early and it ended up being the fifth boss and all previous bosses were marked as "slain" even though we did not kill them, the same thing happened when we killed the dungeon boss and it was the second to last boss. I don't know if it affects progression or anything internally but it was definitely confusing. Interacting in a bed soft-locks you and you can't interact with the UI options like "set spawn, sleep, or get up" and required a restart or being hit by an enemy. NPC housing constantly throws chat errors and says the room is broken, with holes, or destroyed by an edit even though they fit the regular criteria and are enclosed with torches, chair&table and a door. got confused with the housing menu and couldn't give a room to the first boss NPC but my friend figured it out for me. Weird randomly colored lines between overworld surface biomes I could not open dungeon chests, even with "Gold Key", In my inventory and even interacting with the key selected and so I could not get the shadow key etc. when I switch from the golden key to my pickaxe and mine, I start swinging extremely fast and destroy lots of blocks and create lag with tiny delayed terrain indents. I only had my placed blocks turn into dirt once but it never showed up again, it seems to be inconsistent and only happens if placed blocks are nearly 1:1 in position with overworld blocks. Blue Soul/Mana Crystal can only be purchased when you have Fallen Stars, similarly all of the items sold from Mysterious hero can not be purchased because they require an item that has a 0% drop rate from all bosses and is not the "Lore Scroll" that you obtain from beating bosses, meaning the consumables that would increase your accessory limit are uncraftable. this was in no way apparent and I only found it out from looking at the recipes for the items which led me to believe that the shops were just completely bugged and I could not buy items even though I had more than enough gold. You can push yourself through the terrain and fall through the map by placing blocks over yourself, but this is a deliberate bug. however when you dig a straight-down hell elevator and fall through it, you will rubber-band, phase through the map, and get stuck floating in unloaded chunks at least 5-10 times before you make it all the way down. all of that aside, the game seemed to function well-enough, and the only thing that hindered me and my friends experience was trying to have my friend connect to my server without issues.

bugs and bumpy launch aside changing the price of your game by 50% after some players have already passed the refund window is actually insane

Игру делали 3 года , на трейлере она типо крутая но п факту хоррор на юнити лагучий баганый и тд

this game is an unfinished mess i cant break 80 fps on 1440p high, have been in the their discord for a few years waiting for this too Extremely disappointed

Игра сыровата. Но, зная, что разраб будет продолжать ее развивать и улучшать, советую, мне зашла

A lot of the problems people are complaining about in the negative reviews have been already fixed. There were a few issues popping up that the dev was not aware of. I will say game still needs polishing but the dev works hard and does a lot of good work on his end so I would definitely advise the game. For 9 bucks I can heavily say its definitely worth it. Dev has also stated he plans on working on this for a very long time. So I'll happily give this a yes. If your not a fan of games that need work than give this game a few more months and it will probably be way better. But if you don't mind helping a dev figure the bugs and notifying them join the discord get the game and feel free to mention issues you see.
