Dread Delusion

I can't recommend this game but I like the idea. An RPG inspired by old school graphics. It's riddled with bugs and the combat is very sluggish. I started my playthrough on hard difficulty twice and started as a sort of spellcaster. You start with the same rusted sword weapon regardless of what you pick in the intro and if you don't find the appropriate spell within reasonable time, your choice is kinda useless. The game has plenty of bugs. If you walk into geometry in a particular angle the entire view get's shifted downwards 180 degrees as the character lands on the ground simultaneously. The combat feels sluggish as ♥♥♥♥ and it's a waiting game when you can attack or not in a not so good way. You can't block when you feel like you should, since you are in the middle of attacking, it comes down to a balance between the attack rate of the enemies and you. You can sprint mid-air, crouch mid-air so there isn't a state system implemented which feels odd. Footsteps, level-up sounds, enemies dying etc. sounds are missing which feels odd. The UI doesn't catch focus where you expect it to be or doesn't respond to controller input at all which is infuriating. I don't know how many pots I have been wasting since you can drink potions when you are at 100% which is the stupidest decision of all time (You can't cancel these BTW) The cringy dialog I can't even. Instead of typing Sscratches his chin*, *He stares at you intensly" just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ show me what the character is doing in an animation even is it is rough.. It feels like I am being in a conversation with a Discord mod. This pissed me off more than anything. I don't know if it's the way the lore is presented or the way that dialog is presented but I couldn't care about the lore from reading. No sounds, the dialog is way too long and uninteresting. The times I did get interested was when I got the red highlighted words that were of importance for quests. Other than that I could not care less.
