    • “The rest of the game is fine. I mentioned the real issues, and I have a low-end rig. It's not the best system, but it ran this game decently well. I was actually pretty surprised, given that a lot of games nowadays tend to lag a lot on my system, whether they are online games or single-player games. As far as performance goes on newer indie games, I have to say this is one of the better optimized games out there currently, and that's saying quite a lot, actually.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Reviewers express concerns about the game's replayability, noting that the lack of diverse maps or randomized elements may lead to a stale experience over time. They suggest that incorporating a progression system, such as unlocking new characters or skills, could enhance replay value and keep players engaged.

    • “The map seemed very fitting for the tone that the game gives off, but I believe that without other maps or randomly generated variances to the previous maps, such as randomized houses and housing locations, it could get a bit stale and dampen the replay value.”
    • “Any kind of progression system would be a welcome addition, be it cosmetic or more playable demons, or unlocking points to spend in different skills with your skill points.”
