The Lost and The Wicked Reviews

The graphics, the story line, and the music for this game are great!

A game that challenges you, and feels fair. Though the screen is rather crowded most of the time.

A twin-stick shooter with mostly minimal graphics and simple gameplay mechanics, as well as meta-progression. Health, stamina, damage, and money multipliers upgrade your survivability and the accrual of cash to upgrade that survivability. While some "cutscenes" that seems to be about a soldier coming to terms with who he is and things he's done at the end of his life, beyond the cutscenes though, that is not explored much at all. However, the game easy to pick up and put down, and the gameplay itself is satisfying with screen-shake accompanying plenty of guns and enemies exploding into money. If you like a light psychological element to your top-down shooters, you may find this worth it. This is also another game that is easy to "perfect" on accident.

What a delight of a game. Refreshing art style and really thought out features. For a first game, this is really impressive. If you are a fan of multi-directional shooters and good music, this game will be for you.

Not really worth $15, or $10. The story was cool, but the game play got far too repetitive and tedious after about the 10th "KILL THEM ALL" levels that you run into.

fun gameplay, marred by incredibly distracting/overwrought/boring writing. i wish they'd dialed back the narrative to about 20% of what's included in here, it's just way too heavy-handed.

"experience the turmoil and fear first-hand" "a tragic and dark story told via psychedelic horror set-pieces, otherworldly enemies, melancholy mini-game events, and despairing revelation" 7/10 Full review at https://darkzero.co.uk/game-reviews/the-lost-and-the-wicked-pc-review/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n3IGB7rldM&ab_channel=DarkZeroTV

This game ventures into a surreal style of music and ambiance that not enough games explore. The gameplay loop does get repetitive by the last few levels, but the allegorical and mysterious story kept me playing for the five hours it took me to complete the game.

Good Game Writing: Pretty good but a bit eye rolling at times Gameplay: Very fun but tedious at points. Visuals And Sound: WONDERFUL buy it.

What stuck out to me was how everything contributed towards the atmosphere of the game itself. From the mechanics, the rough-around-the-edge effects and art style, the HUD display and the in your face gun play. It seemed to represent the character's mind itself. Its a vibe and if you enjoy bullet hell game types, like Isaac or Hotline Miami, you are sure to enjoy this. "The Lost and The Wicked" fits right in there. After the first couple big boss fights and narrative in the open world, it starts to hit its stride.
