Zoria: Age of Shattering Reviews

Great! Got a little easy for me, so I didn't finish. The story was good, good combat, nice crafting system, and polished questing system. The graphics aren't fantastic, but those didn't distract me from this well put together game.

I have a Steam Deck. The game looked appealing to me, so i bought it only to discover that sound does not output to Bluetooth. That's absolutely a non-starter for me. However, small company so I chose to give them a break. Its been months and the issue is still unfixed. It might be a good game, but I'll never know until Bluetooth audio routing is fixed. Until that happens, the game is just a steaming pile of bad code that I feel ripped off for buying

I could not get past the horrible controls. Simply getting past looting the very first room and talking to various NPCs was frustrating.

Overall, simply a mediocre game. No game mechanic or gameplay element stands out, it's simply just mediocre. While it's not bad, it's simply not good either. Combat, classes, the UI, itemization, and the keep are simply mediocre.

Very nice game, where you build up a party (lots of options) and even build (somewhat) a base. Story is good and so is the game play, worth the purchase!

Play time not accurate, played on other platform. Pretty good action RPG. A little WOW-is in the art style but most aspects seem balanced and play is fun if you like this sort of game.

Had a good time with the game but I would like to see the following in a future update, DLC, or sequel: More banter between followers while roaming or during quests. Ability to talk to followers freely when camping. It's good you can respec skills at will but the ability to do the same with attribute points would be good. Higher-level exotic missions (maybe add epic ones?) in the [spoiler] Outpost [/spoiler] Ability to join or run higher level exotic or epic missions in the [spoiler] Outpost [/spoiler] Quick travel back to the [spoiler] Outpost [/spoiler] Increase the max party size to six.

This is a nice, simple, RPG. I loaded up Pathfinder: WOTR and tried to play it a few times. I just found it to be too much. I was looking for an RPG I could pick up and play with some learning but not PhD level. I found Zoria, which I had been looking at for awhile. It is kind of rough in some ways but I am having fun. It is really well done and I have had zero bugs. Give it a shot. Update: At 7 hours, the game gets far more interesting.

This game is clearly a labor of love. I have never seen a game that's so obviously got a lot of dev time behind it... that is just so, so, SO very awful to play. There are hundreds of items in the game, and lots to interact with. The land looks pretty good in screenshots. Characters have a tiny handful of skills, and sometimes you can find nice ways to combo with your own team. I see where they were going with this. Unfortunately, the gameplay is simply the least fun I've had in a game in a long time. Skills are simple, limited, and very unbalanced. The hundreds of pieces of equipment you get are generally for specific classes, which means the vast majority is unusable by your character. People join and leave your party quickly, and "choices" in dialog aren't even given an illusion of meaning. Combat is simple and same-y and unfortunately happens over and over again. The worst aspect of the game, though, by FAR, is the pathfinding. Your team of rugged adventurers freezes, unable to step over a twig. Invisible walls hem you in on all sides. The map may indicate a possible path, but unless you are Supposed To Be There, you can't go there. You're essentially playing a single corridor game with a veneer of open maps. You cannot go off the predetermined path. Walking from point A to point B is so terrible, so painful, and so janky -- I found myself literally snarling in frustration as my team got caught on every fold of dirt. I cannot recommend this game.

In all seriousness, the overall experience of the game is not great, and most of the issues stem from the map design. The maps are overly large yet lack substantial content. Additionally, optimization seems to be a major challenge, as the camera cannot move far enough, nor can anchor points be placed at a distance. This results in players spending excessive time just trying to navigate. On top of that, the maps are filled with invisible walls, and the environment design often makes it difficult to distinguish which terrain is passable and which is not, making exploration even more frustrating. In fact, one could argue that dealing with the map is more of a hassle than the enjoyment gained from combat. The combat itself is fun, but occasional bugs cause characters to get stuck. While the game is enjoyable, content noticeably diminishes in the later stages, making it apparent that the development team rushed to finish the game. Speaking of bugs, the game frequently encounters issues where the background music fails to play, and in the arena, a bug prevents players from completing the level 20 challenges, effectively soft-locking progress. That being said, completing a game is an achievement in itself, and I respect the effort put into it. I hope the development team continues to improve and brings even better experiences in the future.
