Echoes of Mystralia

Terminei o jogo após muitas mortes, tentativas, testando cada habilidade e amei todo o esquema de evolução das magias, dá pra fazer muita combinação diferente em cada partida!! Espero muito que o jogo cresça, pois realmente gostei muito da sua gameplay

The Spell System is a lot of fun so far. I find myself trying more things out to get a feel for all the different combinations

Positive: The gameplay mechanics are smooth and the difficulty is well-balanced. Combining spells is fun. Different spells have distinct feels, and the playstyle meaningfully changes depending on which spell you’re using. Every choice feels impactful. Whether you go static or freeze line, or a burn build, or focus on critical damage and crit %. The graphics and overall feel of the game are really good. The foundation is solid, as long as the Early Access sales don’t kill the motivation to release a fully built game. Negative: The game is especially short: 3 bosses and the content is essentially experienced. There’s no motivation to keep grinding. If there was something like a Heroes of Hammerwatch New Game+ mechanic, and you were rewarded with e.g. one extra focus/modifier slot while the game got harder each time the player chooses a new NG+ multiplier, it could add more fun. The game absolutely needs more variation in biome/area boss fights. After beating the bosses a few times you learn their mechanics so well that you can slowly wear them down even without upgrades. 4 main spells need another 4 main spells, and 4 sub-spells for those, so that the gameplay experience actually feels different. The game doesn’t clearly explain what status damage does, or for example where Void Blast gets its 45% damage from. Conclusion: I recommend it if it’s on sale and you want 2–4 hours of playtime. It’s probably not quite worth the full €19.99 price tag yet. The foundation for something truly cult-classic exists. Now that the game is essentially “beaten,” I’m shelving it and waiting for the full release — looking forward to seeing what the developers bring to the 1.0 version.

This game has a good foundation for Early Access. It’s listed as unsupported on Steam deck but I’ve played a few dozen hours on the deck on minimum graphics and aside from rare frame drops, it runs pretty well. I’m writing this review specifically so Steam Deck Players can see it works. The game is pretty hard but it feels fair. Crafting your spells is fun and rewarding. I do wish we had a little bit more control over the kinds of memories being offered though. Once you unlock enough, it’s harder to get the memories you want because the pool is so diluted by niche picks. Balance is okay. Some runs you’ll feel like a god, some you’ll struggle. Some spells are absolutely stronger than others which I hope the devs even out a bit. The story is more interesting than I expected. It’s no Hades, but the format is similar. The characters are likable and visually interesting. At least worth keeping an eye on during early access, maybe pick it up on a sale.

Good game, but the animations and skills need to be smoother and more fluid so the feedback feels more satisfying, and the combination magic should be more flexible.

Actually fun
