Crypt of the Serpent King

I was challenged to play this game, and I had no idea what I was getting myself into this other then have this thought that this is not going to be a positive experience for me. So I spend a few bucks on this and see what I'm going to be doing. I will say this, I wasn't expecting the game to be like ... this. I'm glad that the video game is short as I beat it in 104 minutes, but the fact that it took that long to beat this game is abysmal. The graphics are so low-poly that I feel like I was playing a game from the PS1 era. It got so difficult at the beginning where I get killed so easily that once I start looking for treasure chests, that's when I figured out what to do, and it does make it super easy to get through. I will say that the hit detect is horrible because I'm never sure if I got close enough to hit the enemies.

Once I figure out how to play, the game gets super repetitive to get through that I'm just wanting to get to the end. It's gotten pretty easy to get through, but once it got to the last level, that's when it got a difficult jump for no reason. Even when I'm at the highest level with the strongest weapons, I still feel like I'm at the same level as the first level from where I started. The bosses are generic to get through and are pretty easy to beat, and the last boss was a pitiful looking final boss where I was trying my damndest to beat this Godforsaken game. Once I beat the game, the end credits are so lazily done that I felt like I accomplished nothing from playing the game. I definitely wasted my money on this short ass game, but I'm glad I got some achievements from the game that'll level up my Steam account. Just watch the playthrough of the game on YouTube, you're better off that way instead of playing the game itself.

First to write a review in Italian about this game and I must say it surprises me since it is not bad at all. For now I tried and finished only to fix casual but soon I will try to finish it even to normal to engage in the hardcore difficulty that is released only after completing it at the second level. Some negative points obviously has them but being an indie game you pass over to almost everything if you have then in your hands a valid product (and this, more or less, it is): 1-The graphics are rather sparse and essential even if the enemies are rendered very well; 2-The sound sometimes turns out to be quite annoying (if you play with headphones sometimes will hurt your ears) when you could put maybe less music but add the noises that can be made by banging against other objects; 3-The GDR component is sketched and, although they continue to take experience points, it is not possible to overcome the lv10 in the only three abilities (strength, health and agility); 4-Always in the difficulty which I have played I understand immediately what are the best weapons to attack enemies, then maximum 1 attempt and the second you finish the level; 5-The weapons to buy with the money found along the game are too few. You will have Them half-game but you can, unnecessarily, continue to collect gold coins from the various coffers of the levels; 6-I would have varied the objects to be collected for each level... Always the keys (in more and more numbers but maybe let me find precious stones...); 7-a poor longevity... 7 levels for about 6 hours of play are pochini. In conclusion, for me it is purely a fantasy action game with good potential. If I recommend it? Given the price you even though there are products "dungeon Crawler" Obviously far more valid but that cost much more:)! Rating: 6 and a half
