Aeternum Vale Reviews

Great art, love the music. Nearly took me an hour to kill the 1st boss xD. The 2nd one might take me 2 hours if 1st was this hard xD.

The game looks promising! Has great art and the music brings back some nostalgic memories. It would be more great if each place has its unique soundtrack ( if there is then i must be enjoying one too much that i didnt even notice xD). looking forward for new things in the upcoming updates.

it's an interesting game and dramatic in the story I don't know how to express my pity for the main character and my head is a bit dizzy thinking about the path that must be completed and at the first saving place I fell many times I don't know if it's a bug or how it works

Aeternum Vale is a game that cought me by suprise , i wasn't expecting this much from it at first but the game feels so smooth and natural, it has many game modes and missions that garantie many hours of game play , from fighting mushrooms to leveling up your character and getting new items .. i liked the fact that it had an inventory system. the devs payed attention to small details and map drawing and that what made me enjoy even the little tasks of it. the background music and sound effects are a great addition to the experience try to enjoy the small details and you will love the game.

A nice game with many of the great metroidvania aspects, in particular a good level design, great music, narration and general atmosphere. The game is unfortunately not well optimized. You cannot play without a graphic card (unlike hollow knight for instance, that one would expect more demanding) : I got to the point where fights become completely impossible due to slowness. Also do not expect elaborate fighting gameplay with many enemies combat pattern. The game interest is more in its platformer and exploration aspects.

I have yet to finish all the content that seems to be available in this early access, but I already know this is right up my alley. It's like my two favorite indie games had a child: Hollow Knight and Undertale! Really can't wait to play more and see where this adventure takes us! Keep up the good work :)

Just started this game. Already loving the vibe! I hope there's option to change the font to normal ones. The pixel font is a little hard to read for me. Also I prefer to move with left thumb stick instead of the D-pad.

There's really nothing going for this game. It feels like a devs first project (which it likely is). Basic platforms, block pushing puzzles. Screens are generic and completely uninteresting to me.

I have a hard time recommending the game in it's current state, the combat is janky, there's gamebreaking bugs, soft locks, and the placement of save points far and away from each other is just frustrating with the aforementioned combat and bugs.

I’d say it’s definitely not for everyone. It has this retro feeling of deliberately not wanting to hold your hand. You have to figure things out for yourself. No waypoint markers etc, just the game world, it’s inhabitants, and you the Player trying to make sense of it. It is also a bit unfair at times and will probably make some casuals quite salty on some precision platforming. Personally, I love all this and I’m glad I’m supporting a game that seems to be made with the heart. Plus, the soundtrack and ambiance are beautiful and original. Playing this in Early Access, it has some small bugs here and there and you should definitely play with a controller (keyboard is a bit clunky), but overall, it’s quite stable and I have yet to encounter anything game breaking. Keep it up! :)
