Minerva Labyrinth

“Sound design is nice, with satisfying combat sounds, good ambient noise, and a crisp soundtrack.”

“Background music and sounds vary between individual areas, adding variety even to similar areas within a cluster of dungeons.”

“The dark, cruel atmosphere is another element that enhances the experience; it blends perfectly with the eerie sense of loneliness and with the music, where the composer did a great job—it fits the game beautifully.”

“It's well-made and well written, with some great retro artwork and lots of detailed text passages describing scenes.”

“The music is great and fast paced and I adore the art style.”

“A deliciously complex and challenging game for fans of crawlers – a retro graphics style reminiscent of the SNES; gameplay design and combat influenced by RPGs; a sense of humor included.”

“Coding, graphics, music, storyline, and combat mechanics were created by one individual developer, and what a smart, engaging, thought-provoking game emerged.”

“I liked the story.”

“If I had critiques, they'd be that I'd have liked a slightly higher density of discoveries in the labyrinths, and that in general I'm not the world's biggest fan of 'you get to tailor your whole party, but they don't have personalities in story terms' as a setup (but a lot of very good games do that, it's just a personal preference).”

“If you like a different game that emphasizes substance over flash, thoughtful engagement over reflex, and complex progressive character development, this little gem may be for you.”

“Character development can be complex, so thoughtful special consideration of the many factors presented to you is the key to your success in combat.”

“I played it on Linux and it runs great, no bugs, well coded and well designed.”

“Runs great on Steam Deck with Xbox controller.”

“The dark, cruel atmosphere is another element that enhances the experience; it blends perfectly with the eerie sense of loneliness and the music. The composer did a great job, and it fits the game beautifully.”
