Chamber of Darkness

[h1]Abstract: DON'T BUY!!![/h1] Dev abandoned the game, despite he knows the game is in a bad shape possible, he not removed it from the store, he knows it have bugs, achievements are broken, and still sell this crap for more than $ 1.25, his answer... play others game I made, those are better... L-A-M-E. I just reported it. Rate 0/10 - (☆☆☆☆☆) [quote]thecrow256 [developer] Posted: 14 Sep, 2018 @ 8:04am I am really sorry about the bugs, today I am going to release in its current state. My second year in college started, I am really tired of this game and the bugs that I have 0 understanding of why they happen. Its my first game on steam after all, and I will work hard on another game in a genre that I think I will enjoy making and simpler in execution.[/quote] With the money he still make, he could employ someone that could correct all his mess, but... NOOO, let's still sell a broken game to people.

Don't buy just now, it's too buggy to be playable.

Movement and attacking are really really confusing and buggy. Lack of responsivness, have to press the attach button many times before it registers. Uninstalled after screen 2.

I won't say it's a great game but I enjoyed it. It's a 2D wanna be [i]''Dark Souls''[/i] game but way buggier in terms of combat. Don't expect to understand the combat in the first few minutes. You only have light and heavy atack and three slots for spells, you start with only two at the begining of the game. You won't be able to kill the deathworms and the final boss that has two phases that are alike.

Controls are clunky. Game even suggests that the delay can be fixed by restarting the game in the dialogue of the game. Movement and jumping feels clunky. Most traps are unavoidable. They appear and hit you without any warning. There's no way to block against enemies so when you attack you just have to take a hit. You hit a game blocking bug about 10 levels in when you get a new ability for your spear. The game gives you 1 shot with it to defeat one enemy but no way to recharge it. Levels all look the same and play the same.

Dark atmosphere, with nice pixel graphics, but play controls are anything but slick. Sometimes they get stuck. It's bad. Game feels unfinished, and honestly for less than a dollar on sale, I wasn't expecting much, but it's not great. Requesting refund.

Worst game ever.Buttons dont register + crushes all the time.All challenges are bugged. SUM UP: DONT BUY IT YET NEEDS A LOT OF WORK.

[h1]A fantasy styled platform game with some features particular that can improve in something more roguelike.[/h1] I have to say i am pretty old so i am used to love old school platforms and that's why i liked this game that can propose a fantasy themed platform with some rpg elements. I liked really this but i have to say that this product has much potential and needs some improvements then i hope devs will read this and evaluate for an evolution of this product and with some patch can insert some feature that can expand the gameplay. Playing this game i had the hunch that it was inspired also by the dark souls series because the mobs encountered have a particular pattern and not just the walking and attacking pattern that sometimes you find in traditional platform games. Just saying, i smiled when i noticed also that some enemy can parry your attacks and also your character have a stamina system that can go easily to zero with some heavy attack. That's pretty unusual for a platfor...

"Chamber of Darkness" is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This one is very badly, haphazardly assembled from basic GameMaker Studio platformer functions, to the point it barely works. This is a brawler centric platformer, but there's so many defects in it, I'd rather just get into those... after all, fine plot points are irrelevant when gamers never really played the game seriously. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native res...

It has potential but the gameplay suffers from feeling clunky and being not very responsive in combat. Also suffered from glitches where my character would become tired and unable to perform attacks in the first few minutes even after I just respawned and should have been fine. I'd give it another chance later, but it's rather frustrating at this time to play. EDIT: The game's getting a lot better - I revisited it briefly and it appears the devs made nice adjustments to combat and, although it's not perfect yet, they are headed in the right direction. PS: Are firebolts meant to be parried by enemies so easily?
