In the world of “LING”, only fists can break destiny, and only sword can cleave the chains. Even though it means another solitary journey, decision is made to get to “that place” with utmost efforts.

“LING” is an action adventure game with unique artistic style.

Our young man passing through the desolated world only to try to access the “final”, despite the ignorance of what challenge awaits there.

“LING” is the pronunciation of the Chinese character” 泠”. The world of “LING” tries to create an environment with coldness, wither, and cool, which are also the meanings of the character” 泠” under different situations.

At the same time” 泠” can also express the meaning of “zero”, implying the attempts and adventures of three game developers from zero.

  • The game scene is focused on the atmosphere rendering.
  • With a battle system emphasizing timing and hit feedback, the player can experience the joy of fight with sword and fists.

No, just NO! This game looked like some good for a really cheap price and I was intrigued. Let me start with the good: There is something very cinematic about it. The devs have a really good vision. Full controller support. That's all the good I can think of. Bad: There is no intro. I mean nothing. There are a few blurry screens with some interesting sounds then *PLOP* you're in the game. No text, no indicators, NOTHING. The combat is WAY too simple. a 3 swing combo with a sword that feels so slow, you don't want to use it and a demon punchy....thing? I don't know what it's called because there is 0 descriptions....for anything....at all! The sword can't combo into the demon punch and there is a LONG pause between attacks when you don't combo sword into sword into sword. The game staggers you EVERY TIME YOU ARE HIT! no way to stop it, barely a dodge/dash Here's the kicker, about 5 minutes in, you run into a practically invincible boss that you can't run past. You must d...

Sweet and Simple Dark souls Rogue like Game, with minimal to no HUD which makes it even sweeter. The game looks so gorgous graphically, Very Addictive to play between time to time. yes its short but very inspiring. Beware, you will not be held like a baby step by step to tell you what to do, instead the game uses your instincts to make you understand whats going on around you and what your supposed to do. i am now on my NEWGAME + Using Steam controller on a 4K screen, very beuatiful. Trust me, its a little game youall should have.

A "Journey" with strong action element! A very unique experience as this game is both very challenging and visually well polished. A surprisingly great game for a new dev. The combat mechanics is easy to undertand without tutorial however taking time to master. But when you get the "timing" right you will gain big rewards for your improved skills, and this is very additive. Joystick is hugely recommended for the game as the vibration boosts the gaming experience.

Couldn't recommend the game when it launched as it was a clusterfuck of difficult boss fights with zero training or explanation of how the game mechanics work. Fortunately they're continually updating and even though there are still some issues, it at least appears to be headed in the right direction. As of now, the game is still a mess but it has potential and some neat gimmicks. I'm going to give this a cautiously positive review

I like this game. That said, there are a couple things I don't really like about it. The main issue is that there's no way to control which screen I'm playing it on. It always starts up on the monitor to my left. Along with this, there appear to be some issues with playing it in fullscreen mode. There's this green sheen over everything and the image is kind of stuttery. Next is the combat. It's not as fluid as I would like. And you cannot combo with your fist after beginning the sword combo even though you can switch to the sword combo fairly fluidly after starting a fist combo. This may be because of the parry maneuver but it feels sloppy. These are my two issues with this game. And yes, one of them is with one of the core aspects of the game. But, for $8 it's still a pretty good purchase and I do reccomend at least trying it. The ambiance is intruiging and it's plain there's a hidden story behind all of this that I'm looking forward to unravelling.
