Pombero - The Lord of the Night Reviews

dope

I try to put the game on 60, 120 or unlimited fps limit but somehow, it wont let me do it. Whenever i put it at any of these 3 options, it gets back at 30 fps. Seriosuly, i'm literally forced to play the game on 30 fps because of the unpolished mechanics.

Absolute garbage. This game should be free. You cannot play in fullscreen on a 4k display because trying to do so causes the game to appear in a small square on the screen. The graphics do not look great in 1080p either. Movement is clunky and the fov is low. There is no way to manually save, so you must complete the entire game in one playthrough. In order to enable free mouse look, you must press with the mouse to get it started. The cursor also remains on the screen at all times. And one of the worst things about this game is the atrocious lighting that causes a strange flickering of light on just about everything. The game is also not scary. I cannot recommend this game at all.

I don't know whether it is a good game. Why? Because it crashes almost always. It is not well optimized. I hope next time they will deliver a decent product

I LOVED THIS GAME ! Super fire for an indie studios first game , rough around the edges but overall a great game with a dope story . What made me love this game a lot was the Paraguayan mythology , the pombero is one of my favorite legends to hear about and to see it incorporated into a game made it super great ! Inside studios if you see this PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THAT SONG IS CALLED ON THE RADIO IN THE APARTMENT ABOUT THE POMBERO BECAUSE I LOVED IT ! Being a paraguayan named Albert , made this game all the more better to be honest haha

Very atmospheric and scary. The graphics are above average but still need some polish. There seems to be no background music. I didn't finish the game because I couldn't find the way, but the story as far as I got to seemed very much fine. I recommend everyone to buy this game and support this developer.

Pombero The Lord of the Night is a great first game for a brand-new indie studio. While the game is still a bit rough on some areas and could definitely use some more polish (specially with the occasional crash and in the second act), the game still pulls through and gives a good escape-the-roomesque experience with some decent atmospheric horror factors. Despite relying a bit too heavily on jump scares to the point that they start becoming slightly predictable fairly early into the game, Pombero still manages to deliver a couple of good scares bound to catch the average gamer unaware. All in all, even if though the game is fairly short (took me 4 hours to beat on my first blind playthrough) and if doesn't seem to have much going for it in the replayability value department, Pombero The Lord of the Night is still a good solid attempt at a first game by a small emerging indie studio who could definitely use the support of gamers to keep improving and surprising us with more games. ---------------------------------------------- Pombero The Lord of the Night es un gran primer juego para un estudio independiente nuevo. Mientras que al juego le falta un poco de pulido aun en algunas áreas (especialmente con los crasheos ocasionales y al segundo acto en sí), el juego aun logra salir adelante y dar una buena experiencia al estilo de los juegos de “escapar la habitación” junto con algunos aspectos decentes de terror. A pesar de depender un tanto de mas en los jumpscares al punto en que estos se vuelven predecibles bastante rápido, Pombero aun logra obtener un par de buenos sustos garantizados en tomar por sorpresa al jugador promedio. En fin, aun cuando el juego es bastante corto (me tomo 4 horas ganarlo en mi primera vez jugandolo sin saber nada del juego) y aun si no tiene mucho valor de rejugabilidad, Pombero The Lord of the Night es un solido primer intento de juego para un estudio independiente pequeño y emergente el cual podría definitivamente usar el apoyo de los jugadores para seguir mejorando y sorprendiéndonos con más juegos.
