Kowi Ishto: Battle of Akonoli Reviews

In all honesty and good faith I cannot recommend this game, as I didn't enjoy it at all, and I believe that even for a tenth of its price you could buy a better game. If you want you can watch my first impression and some considerations regarding the game and the studio (one man team) in the following video. https://youtu.be/66hqI4P99lQ I think everyone should also take into consideration the statement released by the developer on June 22nd, date that follows the production of my video, where I point out things that were then addressed by Cenokga in the following statement: https://cenokga.com/my-experience-after-first-game-release-a-letter-from-the-developer/

*** RE-REVIEW UPDATE ON JULY 3, 2021 *** The developer reached out to me via email and asked me to re-review this game after his updates and "big update 3.0", so I decided to give his game another chance considering the number of updates this game has seen since my first review more than a year ago... This video shows my reactions to the current state of this game on July 3rd of 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJuxnSS8ZxM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORIGINAL REVIEW UN-ALTERED FROM JUNE 15, 2020: * Sighs * ... This review exists for only one reason.. the developer of this game showed extreme hostility towards his first single review that was a negative review of his game. It's important to note that this developer reached out to Christ Centered Gamer and provided them with a Steam key asking for a review. When Christ Centered Gamer agreed and made a very professional and honest review that was not a good review, the developer of this game attacked him with a fury of angry emails, legal threats, insults and more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXc_ac-0lSg This is absolutely one of the worst games I've ever played on Steam, and for the asking price of $20 USD at launch of the game, it is the absolute worst $20 game I've ever experienced in my life. I have .4 hours of playtime in this game, which equates to about 24 minutes. It's important to note that at least 15 of those minutes were spent just trying to get the game started and then turning down the outrageously default sounds and music. In the end, I had to turn down the game sounds and music via my recording software as nothing I tried worked to actually turn the music and sound down from within the game options. Horrid controls, lackluster and brainless gameplay that turn incredibly boring within 60 seconds and would make this game a waste of time even if were free to play. In the end, I scored this game at a dismal 1% score and it is NOT RECOMMENDED AT ANY COST, EVEN FREE!

The developer has threatened a Gaming Web site with lawsuits and a spurious DMCA Take down threat over their negative critique of this game. https://youtu.be/5uGgVmqbT0E The game itself is an absolute insult at a $20 price point. It is so exceptionally basic that it would barely be considered a mediocre free offering on Newgrounds or Itch.io. Avoid this game and it's developer.
