Dark Miasma Reviews

The game is engaging and the stories of the town's people are well written and keep you interested in their progress. I recommend it!

Really enjoying this game. You die - a lot - but the whole point is that you keep being reincarnated into slightly stronger versions of yourself so each playthrough you can focus on something different and achieve different/better goals. Would highly recommend.

A creative game with lots of unique characters and a remarkable deck building mechanic. PROS: -Excellent characters, each with intriguing backstories and relatable struggles. -Fantastic lore with plenty of original creatures, monsters, and environments. -Addicting deck building aspect, with plenty of room for build customization. -An amazing plot full of great twists, and a truly epic finale if you can save everyone. -The "heirloom" mechanic, which allows certain things to cross over between playthroughs, is a very innovative idea. -Awesome music! -Great art, especially with respect to the character and monster design. Cons: -At the beginning, it can be a little challenging to find the best activities to do every week so that your character can survive combat: endurance training, mining+smithing for melee builds, and diving+spellweaving for magic builds. -Some characters' paths involve a dungeon that has a massive difficulty spike. -Ivan's backstory reveals an unexpectedly awful aspect of the game's society. Dark Miasma is the game for you to play if you enjoy the gameplay loop of: deck building, stat-boosting activities, and character story progression. I really recommend saving every character. If you put in the effort to do so, you will be rewarded with a VERY innovative ending.
