The Dead Await Reviews

This is a fun little game. If you like Darkest Dungeon combat with a collectible card game and CRPG inventory system and overworld questing, you should try it out. Pros: - Combat is intense. - The "tavern card game to make money" is surprisingly fun. - The traumas you can get are thematic and interesting. - Unique art style. - Open world with trading. Cons: - The "go back to the camp and drop off stuff" loop is annoying. - Even with maxed out inventory and storage, you don't have enough room to be a hoarder. (Yes, I have a problem.) - UI could use some streamlining. - Combat can be VERY swingy. It's possible to get into combat - The translation is a little rough. - It crashes every once in a while. (That said, the autosave is good enough that you generally won't lose much progress.) - There are some quality of life improvements that need to be made--not being able to look at your characters' inventory while in a store makes it hard to know whether or not that fancy shotgun is actually better than what you already have. - Music is a little repetitive. Tips: - Natural healing is slow. You'd better be ready and willing to use bandages and medkits. - Make sure you update your deck on a regular basis. It's easy to forget to make changes. - Get the inventory expansion upgrades quickly. - Upgrade your camp as quickly as possible. Don't sell building materials unless you absolutely have to.
