  • graphics8 mentions

    The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their poor quality and performance issues, with many users comparing the textures to those from older titles like Mario 64. Despite being set to high settings, players report minimal improvements, with frame rates dropping significantly even in menus. Overall, the graphics are described as subpar and not meeting modern gaming standards.

    • “Otherwise, the graphics aren't too bad when set to epic, which the game defaulted to for me.”
    • “Terrible performance paired with abysmal graphics; graphic settings changed close to nothing. Every texture looks like a Mario 64 texture, and even the menu runs at a spicy 20 fps at most.”
    • “Mouse pointer doesn't line up, graphics are bad, script is bad, and voice acting is horrible.”
    • “Not ready; only leaving a negative review as the game is on sale in early access. There are translation issues (random German text) and the graphics and combat feel very mobile-esque.”
  • story7 mentions

    The story has been criticized for its poor pacing and lack of depth, with many reviewers noting that it feels simplistic and primarily revolves around combat rather than a compelling narrative. While some appreciate the blend of mythological elements and roguelike mechanics, the execution is seen as lacking, with issues such as minor bugs and a confusing premise detracting from the overall experience. As the game is still in demo form, there is hope that the story may improve in future updates.

    • “It combines a mythological universe with roguelike elements, partially storytelling.”
    • “It is a demo, and the story could change as the game continues.”
    • “So it's a simple kill everyone and everything, not a whole lot of story to follow.”
    • “I couldn't get past the introduction missions; it was so bad.”
    • “The story: Loki takes control of Thor... bad start because Thor is invulnerable to mental attacks.”
  • gameplay7 mentions

    The gameplay is engaging and well-received, particularly the combat and fight scenes, though some players note a lack of content and incentive to balance combat mechanics. The smooth mechanics and interesting mythology enhance the experience, but there is room for improvement, especially in expanding the environments for combat. Overall, while the gameplay holds interest, it could benefit from additional content and refinement.

    • “Gameplay and setup hold interest.”
    • “Its mythology and gameplay are very interesting and relaxing.”
    • “On the gameplay side, I found the combat impressive, but some improvements could be made.”
    • “Not enough incentive to balance out combat and dodge mechanics.”
  • optimization6 mentions

    The game suffers from severe optimization issues, resulting in consistently poor performance and low-quality graphics reminiscent of outdated titles. Players report sluggish gameplay, frequent freezes, and minimal impact from adjusting graphic settings, making the experience nearly unplayable.

    • “Terrible performance paired with abysmal graphics; graphic settings changed close to nothing, because while every texture looks like a Mario 64 texture, even the menu runs at a spicy 20 fps at most.”
    • “Poorly optimized; the game runs slowly and poorly at all times, and tweaking settings doesn't guarantee a constant nor reasonable fps either.”
    • “Combat feels slow and clunky, which is further exacerbated by the sluggish game performance.”
  • humor5 mentions

    The humor in the game is polarizing; while some players find the voice acting and storytelling amusing, others criticize the AI voices as painful and poorly executed, likening them to bad translations. Overall, the humor seems to be a mixed bag, with some appreciating its comedic elements despite the game's shortcomings.

    • “Also, I really think the voice acting is hilarious, hopefully it stays as-is.”
    • “They definitely have a good sense of humor, haha.”
    • “That's the game's humor.”

    • “The music is not boring, but I think more music should be added.”
    • “Nice sound design and music.”
    • “Music - actually not bad.”
  • stability2 mentions

    Users report notable stability issues, including character freezing after hits and during hammer throws, as well as bugs affecting movement and loading screens. Despite these problems, there is potential for improvement in future updates.

    • “After a hit, the character freezes for a split second; the same thing happens after throwing a hammer.”

    • “I find the repetitive nature of grinding to be a major drawback, making it hard to stay engaged.”
