Krakatoa Reviews

cant fix lag no matter how low the graphics settings are.

Fun and challenging game. Scared the shit out of me at some points. Give it a shot!

- bad performance even with minimum settings - barely explained mechanics - car is super easy to flip over - buggy - clunky visually its not too bad.

Got stuck in a house, Glitched into cars, No shown recipe for 2/3 of the craftable objects, the boy looks like an anorexic grown man, car has terible handling and flips too easily, and the overall glitchyness makes it hard to play

Getting over it is nothing compared to this masterpiece. If you enjoy a challenge this is the game for you.

I love this game although at moments it touched a rage nerve lol. But it is great! Good atmosphere but the one thing I will touch on is the fact when you die it sends you back to the start which is really frustrating for me and probably others. But all in all a great game:) Check my playthrough and I got the bad ending so must get the good ending now:) Well doen Dev..I look forward to your next game:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4N3D22I_eQ&feature=youtu.be

Pretty okay game. I had some trouble finding stuff because on top of me being blind the fog made it extremely hard to make out colors of objects, collision seems to only work when it wants to and generally not too fun to play. If the dev is reading this, i can hope you can learn from this game and release better products. You have potential and skill.

If you have a poor patience threshold, you will not enjoy this game. If you enjoy a challenge and have patience then you may enjoy this game. That being said, there are barely 3 hours of game play to this anyways... I am very torn about whether or not to recommend this game. I feel the price is a bit too much even at $5. If I had known it was such a short game I probably wouldn't have bought it. However, I feel like this is a newer developer and I did like the game. I want them to be able to continue to make games and would like to see a more complete version of this game in the future. This game has a lot of potential but it feels disappointingly unfinished. It is finished, it does have an end, it's just not what I was hoping for. I wanted a full length game with a good story (obviously I didn't give too much thought at the time to the low price). The elements are all there but the developers probably lack the time and money for a full length endeavor. I would hope that they continue making games and I would pay more for a longer version of this game.

I will admit there are moments Siren-Head scared the living daylights out of me in this game, but the game itself isn't scary. No it's a buggy mess and at times very frustrating, I really wanted to enjoy the game but I didn't. First of all you play as a dad who loses his son to Siren-head and has to escape the wrath of siren-head long enough to devise a plan to destroy him, and that's pretty much the story, and the game-play isn't anything exciting it's just dull, dull, dull. The thing that pisses me off about the game is the car chase sequence where you have to escape from Siren-head by car which you think would be very intense and heart-pounding but that all disappears, the car can easily get flipped over, it's unclear what you can't hit and the car is hard to steer and can result in you crashing and getting crushed by Siren-Head's foot, I also didn't know if I could drive through the debris there were times I went through but there were times I come to a dead stop when I hit it and then I'm dead. The car chase sequence is downright infuriating I think I got crushed by Siren-Head like 7 or 8 times. Then You come to the point where Siren-Head has you trapped in a tunnel and you've got to take cover near the vehicles from Siren-Head's Blast which is also a pain you walk so slow and if you don't get to cover in time you're dead, and there was a moment where I got stuck on a truck and couldn't escape resulting me ending up dead. And there is one moment where you have to duck and crawl under a Truck door delaying precious seconds to get behind something before Siren-Head's Blast kills you. The game is not scary, it's too damn difficult and it's too buggy despite the recent updates. I Love Siren-Head and I love the Indie Horror games based on Siren-Head but this one it's a massive disappointment I wouldn't recommend buying it even for $1.50.

EDIT: Alright so I just replayed this game TWICE and have to say the majority of all my problems were completely fixed. I found about 2 new bugs, neither of which were game breaking and I don't doubt the Dev will fix it as he does really care about this game. Give this game a shot, it's well worth it and if I can beat it before the update and twice after so can you. LOVE THIS GAME, Try it now! I'll add a link to my new playthrough when I get it uploaded soon. New Playthrough as promised: https://youtu.be/gdE_ed1rZwY At first I loved, this game. Then I hated this game. Now I'm confused. It's like being in an abusive relationship where you just can't break it off. I SAID NO.... yet here I am playing this game again. It starts off promising and immediately throws you into the action like a blockbuster disaster movie. The first level you hop in a car and do your best to dodge attacks and escape Siren Head's warpath of destruction. What could be an interesting First Person game starts to feel like a bit of a Try and Die Arcade game. I will say the graphics are pretty awesome and I really am impressed with the level design. This game does continue after that level where you get to walk around a little* bit. Though there are some bugs and things that need to be polished up. So I'm going to refrain from crapping on it too much because it is a new game and I want to give them a chance to update if possible. The following level is difficult but far from impassable as long as you don't fall through the map. Then they expose us to another area of the game that requires you to make use of a crafting table to MacGyver some items. Sadly this part of the game is short lived. The next level is interesting as it tries to send you back to the start of the game before Siren Head is going Godzilla on your butt. Unfortunately there's a few trigger issues with events and minor things that need to be fixed like the fence from outside sticking through the garage. It tries to give you a few jump scares, but if you are like me it wears off after having to repeat this level 3-4 times because it isn't randomized at all. There's a simple solution to passing this level that is easily overlooked. Once you realize what you need to do, it becomes disappointing. It seems like they weren't totally sure what they wanted to do and this is like filler for the game. Which totally detracts from the games biggest Siren Head cinematic moment that is actually pretty awesome. You continue back where you left off now you make your journey to defeat Siren Head using your new tools you crafted. The ending is pretty impressive but slightly confusing considering your win, is very short lived. Overall this game needs some bug fixes, tweaks and polish but is a challenging attempt to redefine Siren Head. For the price I say give it a shot, but for those that rage easily... you might want to keep in mind it is pretty difficult. It's also unlike any Siren Head game I've seen before. I really hope the developers continue to work on this and make more games in the future. I'd give this game a difficulty curve rating of 9/10 till you understand the tricks to memorize parts to pass levels. Graphics 9/10 Audio 6/10 The road breaking part needs better audio cues. (Also a no game sound audio bug fixed by pressing ESC) Story 5/10 Because it's not quite sure what direction it wants to go and hints at a whole lot without revealing more. Ending - Somewhere between a 9/10 and a 0/10 depending on worthless you feel once you finish the level then see the cinematic after kind of devaluing all your hard work with a negative reward. Thanks for reading and if you have an extra $5 give it a shot. If you rage easy or get frustrated stay away.
