Unworthy

Solid metroidvania souls style game. Pros: -Simple but enjoyable combat (simple in terms of movement, not meaning its easy) -Pretty cool black and white art style though it does lend itself to lack of variety in terms of visuals. -Fun boss fights -Only a few different weapons to choose from but they are very different in style -Clever enemies that have difficult patterns. -Solid challenge -No handholding -Nice dark oppressive atmosphere Cons -Elevators and ladders. Good god the sheer amount of them and no way to speed up the process. No sliding down ladders etc. REALLY hurts the games pacing and god help you if you get lost because its a good while before fast travel is unlocked. Enjoy those elevators. You will be seeing them a LOT. -Some more music and visual variety would have been nice. -Character progression seems quite underbaked. You have a cool skill tree but you need boss items to unlock them and there is so few bosses that you barely make any headway through the skill tree before the credits roll. Very very odd progression. Overall solid game thats well worth playing for those that enjoy souls games or metroidvanias with a challenge and not much handholding. Very impressive for such a small team. Good job.

May have to take this with a grain of salt because I mostly played a long time ago. I don't remember why I quit that time. Some of it could be explained by two frustrations upon restarting the game now many years later: - The game is capped at 30 fps (if you have GSync/FreeSync enabled you must disable it for this game or it will run at ~13 fps) - Climbing ladders and taking elevators is painfully slow Other than that, the game is mostly okay from what I remember. Not that interesting perhaps. Considering the many quality games that exist in this genre, it is arguably unworthy of your time. Still, it could be a decent pickup on sale if you want another 2D souls-like metroidvania

Игра на удивление очень зашла. Здесь классная угнетающая атмосфера, челенджовые боссы, любопытные механики и интересный левел дизайн. Проходится за примерно 10 часов и имеет нг+. За свои деньги очень достойный соулслайк-метроидвания.

I can't get past even the very first boss in the game and there doesn't seem to be any way to upgrade myself this early or bypass it, and it's too late to refund so I thin I might just be ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Hidden gem, honestly amazing. Would reccomend

Nah man. Too clunky. Stamina gets used up far too quickly, and you can't block. You have a timed shield that absorbs one hit that comes back very slowly. (Maybe 20 seconds to recharge) You get these encounters with two fast-moving fast-attacking enemies where you have to dodge and then can MAYBE get one hit in in retaliation, but probably not. AND they've got ranged attacks! And they have a lot of health! So you'll probably run out of stamina while fighting them and get killed. :) Nah man. Not fun, too hard.

Slow. Simple. Repetitive. Boring. The aptly named title is Unworthy of the money I spent on it.

Unworthy is not that unworthy of a title. Setting: 8/10 The game gives you dark vibes through a black and white scenery and minor disturbing elements like gross enemies, pixel gore and medieval structures. I personally found the black and white pretty interesting, it gave the game quite the aura; RPG/Metroidvania elements: 8/10 Even if the game is a bit short, it's full of secrets and quest you can discover through the map (of course, in relation to the size of the map). Not everything is immediate, you have to go back and fourth after unlocking new weapons/powers. You discover items, runes and everything that will help your character power up. It was an enjoyable experience, and not tiring at all; Story: 8/10 It's not that bad but it's not perfect. The story is something you could probably figure out alone, but the way it was narrated was pretty good, through little cutscenes, dialogues and notes left through the map. Probably something you've already heard about but shown in a different shape. Some things are more profound than you think; Combat/Gameplay: 9/10 Pretty fun ngl. It combines the soulslike genre to the metroidvania one. You roll to dodge and you have different weapons you can use with unique attacks and strategies. It's pretty interesting how they decided not to let your character jump, but you won't feel the need to, just like in a soulslike. Enemies and bosses are really well done, not easy but not tiring. Overall: 8,25/10 I had fun, and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys soulslikes/metroidvanias. A little hidden gem. Just a tip... (No spoiler) Before the archer guy, watch for the aura farm man... You'll understand what I mean soon enough, trust me on this.

the stamina regen is way to slow. 60% a combat is just waiting for ur stamina to regen the difficulty is not hard or easy instead is cheap, most of the enemies can 2-3 shot u for no reason. they exploration.. why does everthing has to be locked ? why? u need to find random keys, the locations never explained or suggested and the run backs are just a waste of time. there are no other souls like games annoyed me like this one the game would be great with more stamina regen, bosses deal less damage and less "u need a key to progress" instead of a boss guarding the entrance
