  • Engaging blend of horror, dark comedy, and folklore with quirky characters and memorable storytelling.
  • Enjoyable exploration and hunting gameplay with varied campaigns, cheat codes, and replayability.
  • Humor in the newer campaign is often intrusive, dated, or off-putting, sometimes breaking the horror immersion.

  • humor
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the original campaign is praised for its quirky, dark comedy that enhances tension and fits the game's 90s-inspired vibe, often delivering genuinely funny and spooky moments. However, the new campaign's humor is widely criticized as intrusive, forced, and overly reliant on modern "zoomer" jokes that clash with the game's aesthetic and undermine immersion. Overall, while the humor appeals to some for its charm and originality, it may not resonate with all players, especially due to the tonal shift in the sequel.

    • “Plus the voice lines whenever you achieve an objective are both 'wtf' and actually funny.”
    • “I feel like the weird, awkward humor serves to be funny foremost, but actually helped boost the tension as well by making everything feel just a little off.”
    • “It's funny, it's a little spooky, it has the dark comedy vibe to it that's similar to the movie Army of Darkness.”
    • “The second campaign, however, the comedy is unfunny, super out of place, and shoved into your face.”
  • atmosphere
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is widely praised for blending effective horror elements with humor, creating a fun and unnerving experience. While many find the ambiance immersive and artful, some critique the dialogue for detracting from the overall mood. Overall, the game delivers a rich, spooky atmosphere that enhances its unique tone and gameplay.

    • “The first campaign was fun to play and was interesting with a nice amount of comedy and good atmospheric horror.”
    • “Insane atmosphere as always, and you can feel the love of the art.”
    • “The new content is simultaneously funnier and scarier than the base game, providing tough gameplay, unnerving atmosphere, and intriguing lore to Kira's ever-expanding universe.”
    • “I still strongly dislike the dialogue and feel it detracts from the atmosphere, but the game itself has improved enough to recommend.”
    • “Also, the dialogue is just painful - maybe it just didn't click for me, but the lines were so cringe-inducing that it totally ruined the atmosphere.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics evoke a nostalgic, retro-inspired style that some players find charming and evocative of early consoles like the Dreamcast or N64, while others feel the humor and certain design choices clash with the aesthetic. Rather than simply replicating a vintage look, the game creatively uses its visuals to enhance playful, cryptid-themed storytelling, though occasional technical roughness and niche appeal may deter those expecting modern polish or mainstream styles. Overall, the graphics serve as a distinctive and integral part of the game's unique atmosphere.

    • “It doesn't feel like many N64 games that seem just to be N64-inspired cheaply, instead it genuinely uses the graphical style of the N64.”
    • “Super charming aesthetics and style, brings me right back to early Dreamcast games.”
    • “Instead of merely recreating a retro aesthetic, it uses the aesthetic as a playground, leaning into cryptid mythology, playful absurdity, and unexpected tonal shifts that keep players guessing about what might be waiting in the next zone.”
    • “It doesn't feel like those N64 games that seem just to be N64-inspired to be cheap; instead, it lacks the genuine graphical style of the N64.”
    • “One of Kira's weaker games honestly; the zoomer humor breaks the whole aesthetic and immersion. If you market it as an N64 game, I expect humor from that era, not dated or out-of-place jokes.”
    • “Players uninterested in retro visuals or collect-a-thon structure may find its design too niche, and those expecting modern AAA polish will notice occasional rough edges in collision handling, animation transitions, or UI minimalism.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a balanced mix of tight platforming, puzzles, and item hunting, with engaging enemy encounters that add tension without overshadowing exploration.

Overall, it delivers a fun, imaginative experience that values mechanical depth and exploration.

    • “The new content is simultaneously funnier and scarier than the base game, providing some tough gameplay, unnerving atmosphere, and intriguing lore to Kira's ever expanding universe, especially in a game as weirdly important as Uktena.”
    • “The new content is simultaneously funnier and scarier than the base game, providing some tough gameplay, unnerving atmosphere, and intriguing lore to Kira's ever-expanding universe, especially in a game as weirdly important as Uktena.”
    • “Moment-to-moment gameplay revolves around tight platforming, item hunting, environmental puzzles, and experimentation.”
    • “Enemies aren’t the main attraction, but they add tension and rhythm between traversal segments, and boss encounters mix spectacle with mechanical testing.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is engaging and enjoyable, blending quirky characters with subtle environmental storytelling and lore. While its surreal and lightly told narrative may feel cryptic to some, it offers emotional depth and a compelling experience.

    • “An overall fun hunting sim with an enjoyable story and a delectable dash of lore.”
    • “Characters feel quirky without becoming caricatures, and the narrative unfolds lightly through scattered interactions and environmental storytelling rather than exposition dumps.”
    • “And a real tear jerker of a story to boot!”
    • “The surreal narrative may feel cryptic or unresolved for players who prefer traditional storytelling.”
