Moribund

Despite having an interesting central mechanic, a lack of online and a dull art style prevent this from being worth picking up over other games in the genre.

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a clever and brutal core mechanic that involves immobilizing opponents with a fungal blast followed by a harpoon shot, complemented by sharp mechanics and chaotic level design reminiscent of top party brawlers. While the game offers unique and fun elements, some players find the gameplay can feel redundant and the art style lacking, with a need for improvement in online features. Overall, it provides a solid experience for those willing to invest time in mastering its controls.

    • “The core mechanic is both clever and brutal: players use a gun that first immobilizes opponents with a gooey fungal blast and then follows up with a charged harpoon shot to finish them off.”
    • “With sharp mechanics, devious level design, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting, it scratches the same itch as the best party brawlers.”
    • “You can ambush or escape using multiple routes, while the traps are well thought out and add to the gameplay.”
    • “For an early access game, Moribund is at a complete state regarding its core gameplay mode.”
    • “Despite having an interesting central mechanic, a lack of online play and a dull art style prevent this from being worth picking up over other games in the genre.”
    • “Some of the gameplay and voiceovers are cheesy, but it's okay; the game to me isn't supposed to be some in-depth game, it's a battle game.”
  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are noted for their dark, post-apocalyptic aesthetic, featuring immersive backgrounds and impressive character artwork. However, some reviewers criticize the level design and overall graphics as basic compared to the character visuals, suggesting that while the art style has potential, it lacks depth in certain areas. Overall, the visuals are a mixed bag, with standout elements overshadowed by some shortcomings.

    • “Think Duck Game meets TowerFall, with a splash of The Last of Us’s fungal aesthetic.”
    • “Moribund takes a dark and ominous approach to their art style; being that the setting is post-apocalyptic, they take it a step further with the element of gore, making it feel like an immersive universe.”
    • “On the graphics department, the background landscapes are gorgeous and the level design is up there with the best of the indie industry.”
    • “While the colors are nice for the most part, the level design and the graphics are kind of basic compared to the amazing look when picking your character; seriously, the artwork for them is very nice looking.”
    • “As others have said, model visuals could stand a bit more so as to have more character, but it is no eyesore by any means.”
    • “Despite having an interesting central mechanic, a lack of online and a dull art style prevent this from being worth picking up over other games in the genre.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game effectively complements the dystopian atmosphere, subtly enhancing the experience without overshadowing the gameplay. Players appreciate the cool soundtrack, which adds to the overall immersion.

    • “The soundtrack slinks along in the background, enhancing the dystopian mood without stealing focus from the action.”
    • “Cool music.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is engaging and competitive, fostering intense moments of frustration and triumph among players. However, the clarity of gameplay can occasionally suffer, impacting the overall experience.

    • “It's atmospheric, but clarity sometimes takes a hit.”
    • “Trying to escape by continuously pressing a button is really rewarding when accomplished, but also infuriating if you are the executioner, which helps build a competitive atmosphere with your friends and eventually leads to screams in their faces.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is highlighted by its hilarious voice-acted taunts, which not only elicit laughter but also encourage players to mimic characters, adding a layer of playful humiliation to the competitive experience.

    • “The hilarious voice-acted taunts add a mature twist to the humor.”
    • “Some of the lines will have you laughing in your friend's face, and in some cases, you'll find yourself mimicking the characters to further shame your friend's skills.”
