Abyss Raiders: Uncharted Reviews

i bought this on a 90% sale thought maybe it is a little worth it?? NOPE its bad for when it was released. maybe you can have fun with it but the start menu is bugged so its a 50/50 opinion on the gameplay but for me a BIG NO

It has its share of bugs and it's not perfect but I honestly found it enjoyable. There's a lot of great potential in here and I hope the dev continues to improve the game.

Initially I enjoyed the core gameplay of this action strategy game and found it somewhat addictive.. however the biggest problem is the sheer amount of bugs. It's rare to go longer then 60 seconds without some glitchy behaviour occuring. You and your enemies get stuck in the environment, controls get stuck or do not work at all, lots of camera issues, and many other various random problems. The complete lack of documention (or even a list of keys) is daft. Looks like some achievements are also bugged.. it's a real shame because the game definitely has potential.

Its Okay I guess ... nice little game in a way, though not really entertaining. For .49p I risked it and for that price its an okay game. Would Not recommend it for more then that.

Sadly, what could be a great game has too many issues. As others have mentioned, the controls are a major culprit, and it can be difficult to control your character when you have to pass underneath something - completely blind, mind. It feels more like an early access proof of concept, but if it were cleaned up it could be great.

Bottom line is that the controls and interface are terrible and make this game rather bad. If the controls and interface were improved it would be quite a good game. As it is, I was often shooting in a direction where my mouse wasn't pointing. And why oh why can WASD not be used ?! It forces mouse controls when it really shouldn't have. You can't even press escape during a level. The English in game isn't great. The game needs a tutorial. The graphics are okay and the music is quite good and appropriate, but that's all I can speak about positively.

Could Be a great game BUT: - There is little to no tutorial - The Hit box is strange - It has a weird glitchy lag when moving - There is no In-game menu At the current state im giving it a 3/10, Since it DOES have potential

There are some interestingly unique and original gameplay elements here. Shame the controls and pathing is so bad the game is almost unplayable.

Hey there! Back in 2018 I received a message from the developers that they would look into my issues and fix some of the many, many game-breaking bugs, which is why I deleted my original review. It is now 2023 and no such thing has actually happened, so I believe it is sadly unlikely that Abyss raiders uncharted will ever receive any more updates. In its current state I cannot recommend this game, it's a broken and unfinished mess. The level selection screen often bugs out and sends you to the wrong level, the player's weapons only work when they feel like it, some levels have utter rubbish solutions that are near impossible to guess (e.g. you have to place a turret in a very specific spot, with no indication). And the story just ends randomly, with nothing left to do but broken achievements that you cannot obtain.
