A Christmas-themed horror game. There are achievements and pretty good graphics. The game is probably a good way to get into the holiday atmosphere in a special way. Krampus himself looks pretty scary. Quite a good interpretation of a familiar character.

The game features extreme heart-pounding jumpscares, multiple locations, and intense Christmas-themed Horror as Krampus will track the player down, follow footsteps in the snow, and smash through walls to bring his new soul to the underworld!

Absolutely love it! Awesome music/graphics with fast game play and some good scares! https://youtu.be/TMSCiefrcAI
Krampus acts as a "pursuer" that is hot on you through the entire game. His winter themed minions, elves, snowmen etc act as cannon fodder. Game has a wide range of locations and some player choice decisions. The final boss fight is a doozy.
Honestly cannot believe there are actual positive reviews for this game. Graphics are good and that is about it, game play, story, and physics are HOT GARBAGE.
just bad in every aspect. I can't believe I wasted money on this.
Loved this game. Great jump scares, and a ton of clever easter eggs. Absolutely love the Doom music! Tons of funny little details if you take the time to explore. Ive played the other games by them- this ones by far the most polished. Love were its going and will for sure play again in the final release.
Pathetic. I played it on "Nice." You wander a bit, you're given a notification to find your way to the basement, you hear a noise, there's nothing you can do to defend yourself, 1 second later Krampus kills you. It's not a game. It's not fun and it's not scary. It's repetitive and foring as buck.
Let me get this out of the way by saying I love finding weird indie horror games. The messier and buggier the better. I was pleasantly surprised how amazing this game was and felt to play. The guns felt great the music fit the doom-ish mood. If you need to rip and tear into some holiday spirit while being a bratty child I highly recommend you get this game. The story is short and sweet plus there's an endless mode if you wanna just go blasting.
Quite an intriguing horror game, unexpected screamers. It is convenient to play with a controller. In the future, I expect more achievements from the developers. The AI is serious enough, encountered minor difficulties during the passage of the game. Further more Who is Krampus?
It's okay, but at its current price of $15 USD I just don't know if it's worth it and here's why. Keep in mind this is early access so It will be receiving updates. Pros: The gameplay is fun, smooth, and the horror elements are there -Jump scares are fun and exciting -multiple areas to explore Cons: -I beat the game first try with a blind play through in 32 mins on easy... -way too much satanic elements to the game -The crude humor and language is a bit distasteful -no replay value at all -there is a "Survival" mode after you beat the game, but there's no point to it and you can glitch on many things making the enemies not able to hit you. This game didn't meet my expectation, but I can tell this dev will go far if they just ditch the unnecessary satanic theme and create a wonderful horror theme game without those elements.
