Elmarion: the Lost Temple Reviews

1/10 One of the worst games I've had the misfortune of playing in a long time. This is barely a beta, not a full release. No amount of work will improve this to the point of being playable. Even if this were a student project or something, I wouldn't accept this level of overall quality. Pros: - Good music - Solid class options - Visually decent and runs smooth Cons: - Camera constantly drifts up to the right no matter what I do - No matter what I do, 1-2 of my characters simply refuse to cast magic even though they have a spell equipped (I think this might be due to a delay in casting spells - my #2 and often #4 characters never cast, probably because 1 & 3 had cast something. If so, this is a terrible design decision for a real time game) - Real time combat simply doesn't work very well here. It's too fast, especially considering you'll likely have at least one caster with multiple spells. Many enemies have a tiny hitbox on top of that, making ranged/magic difficult to use - Some actions you'd expect to have sound effects have none, and the sound effects in combat aren't timed correctly so there's a noticeable delay - No text/UI scaling and there's *tons* of room for it at my resolution. Steam launch options don't work to change resolution. Most of the text is a bit difficult to read - Almost no options available in "Options" - No information about what skills classes get - Hideous character portraits (you can apparently add your own relatively easily, but that's more work than I want to put in for a game like this) - Atrocious writing and dialogue. It's obvious someone who isn't familiar with English wrote everything
