1348 Ex Voto frustrates hard. Sedleo's ambitions shine: mature medieval story, solid characters, historical realistic combat ideas. Story grips with Black Plague themes, great voice acting, dark mood. But execution tanks it.
Combat core fail: slow rigid animations, bad parries, wonky lock-on, endless repetitive parry-chip spam. First mini-boss drags 10+ mins into boredom/frustration — pattern repeats everywhere.
Tech mess: stuck camera, choppy stuff, bugs galore, long loads, poor perf. For 25€ debut from tiny team, unacceptable — needs major patches to be playable.
Story/characters save face, but action-adventure lives/dies on gameplay. Skip now; wait sale + fixes if curious. Wasted potential.
