Why players love itThings to know
50% of themes are praise8% are divided42% are complaints
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
104 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is also a sticking point, because - while it is good in terms of combat loop and movement - it remains largely under-developed.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The blood dripping system and combat mechanics are very fun to use, but it lacks a lot of features and other mechanics that the first game "Lugaru" had (The combat & movement were more complex).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The setting and story is a unique backdrop, but bad gameplay doesn't remedy it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My rig is somewhat decent and the graphical fidelity is rather typical of an indie game from the 2010s, but I don't like how my PC has to rev up when I set the graphics to LOW.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What i don't like about this game is the use of to much loading screens, but aside that the game is well optimized and it is definitely worth trying.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Runs around 300 FPS steadily, granted I'm on low graphics except for having the ocean simplified option disabled.
