Nix: Ashes of the Phoenix Reviews

Because of games like this, I wish there were undecided options when rating games on Steam as this one is obviously uncompleted due to the lack of funding and support so it was put on hiatus for the moment but I wouldn't keep your hope up if you wish for the development team to miraculously return finishing it but you never know. It doesn't sit right with me to recommend a game that is abandoned (for now), even though I like some of the immediate impressions and the setup of it up for this turn of this essentially a vampire survival game mix with rogue-lite element (so far only one bossfight), where you are playing with a lot of fire. This isn't a review but very much feedback giving the pros and cons as I do see the potential it just needs a lot of tweaking but the visual is there. [h2]+Pros[/h2] [list] [*]Flashy animation. [*]Plenty of fire-based abilities to experiment and mess around with. [*]Cool village set up where you take a break from all the survival rogue-lite gameplay using that opting to upgrade skills. [*]I love the NPC dialogues, their character design and story. [*]Plenty of abilities. [*] It's addictive and very satisfying to play. [/list] [h2]-Cons:[/h2] [list] [*]Some runs are too chaotic, feeling a disconnect where you are just taking a break from it in a quiet village outside of combat. [*]Some runs feel like they last and last forever. [*]The boss fights are too sponging and it is to detect when you're actually deal damage to them. [*]I don't like how the boss (well at the first one) is off to the side of the scene. I wish they were in the middle and you have to fight around them or they could move around on the battlefield instead of being stationary in one spot the whole way through. [*]It may be me but the range of normal attacks seems completely weakened than normal melee attacks. [*]Some text is too small to read. [*]Some skills have a lot of text explaining the ability. Shorten it and maybe give a visual of what the ability looks like. [*]Need more tutorial sections because the game just gives you a lot of things to do without you understanding it. [/list]
