The Executioner Reviews

The content that is currently there is very good, the story and characters are great. However, the game isn't finished. It ends abrubtly after finishing the first chapter and I can't find any news if there is any more content coming anytime soon.

I dont review many games and as much as i want to give this game a good rating i cant, within the first 30 minutes of this game, randomly the text would change to different languages from english. This is a big thing because its a full text game apart from cutscences and even then the subtitles are all over the place. I really want to like this game but half the time i dont know whats going on because the languages changes. If they can fix this bug then id say try this game out, it has a really good idea and it is done really well in my opinion. From what i played of this game and keep in mind its not that much but this game is really dark, Not a lot of stuff gets to me but this game from the 30 minutes ive played it was hard doing one of the torturing scenes, im sure if you played this you know what im on about. This game is a good game but theres way too many small bugs that needs to be fixed.

The game I have been waiting for 2 years. participated in tests, and waited, waited, waited. A lot of things changed in it, it got better harder and I can’t believe that today it has already loaded and you can play it in its entirety. It is filled with difficult moral choices, difficult characters and opportunities to ask yourself questions that in real life will be scary to ask. I look forward to a complete immersion in a dark, scary, mysterious world. buy play, and join discussions

This could have been an interesting game. I actually looked forward to playing it for some time, and the first impression was good -- but then it sorta stumbled and never recovered. Game is plagued by bugs, from disappearing saves to being stuck on the map. Some of the options are unclear and not explained -- eg, I did not find a way to use half the powerups I've bought. And the worst of all, the promise of an expansive plot is cut short when you suddenly see the credits after a few in-game days. Overall, would not recommend at all, unless you like being disappointed.

The game has been abandoned by the developer for several years now. Currently it's just a demo with a bunch of bugs. Sorry, but I can't recommend it, the game had a lot of potential, but alas..... _______________ Игра заброшена разработчиком уже как несколько лет, сейчас это просто демка с кучей багов. Жаль, но я не могу это рекомендовать, у игры был большой потенциал, но увы.....

This game is difficult to recommend. The visuals are great, sound and voice acting good, and the overall concept is unique and grim. However, the game has some fatal flaws that stop me from finishing or recommending it. First, the game prevents you from manually saving and forces you to wait till a 'scene' ends. It will *force* you, as in you are unable to leave the game, which can take up to 30 mins for a scene to come to an end. If you force an exit than all your progress is lost and you must start over (i've tortured the same guy like 10 times). For a game heavy on text this flaw is a deal breaker for me. It discourages you from experimenting as a bad decision cannot be reversed unless you want to go back and repeat the last 30 minutes. Second, while well-written the game has occasional grammatical errors and even straight up code slipping into the text. Some of the text will be in Russian and then you click on the button and it turns into English. Before this discovery I spent 5 minutes just staring at the opening screen with no clue what to do next. Overall, the story and concept is great. You torture people (innocent or not), encounter some moral choices, and must keep yourself sane. But, the technical execution sadly fell short on a game full of story and life that many others would be envious for.

kinda weird game to be honest. even though I chose english it mixes sentences with russian. as a non-russian speaker this fact makes the game pretty hard to play because you dont get all the dialogues (meaning you cant do the right choices which is pretty much the main goal of the game) i hope this gets fixed soon so i can actually finish the game :/

This Is one of those moments where a "Wait" Option for recommendation would be great. To put it simply, this game is unfinished, Much Much more so if you are playing in english, Russian It probably wouldn't be TOO bad. For starters a good portion of the text in the game when playing in english is either missing or in russian, it took away from the great atmosphere and story this game has, and beyond that made certain choices impossible to comprehend making it feel terrible when an outcome was beyond my actions Beyond that the interface is wonky at best, the battle system feels pretty good for what it is, but it's hard to understand and the "raise the stakes" options seems to not do anything at all, but even in the text options glitches are aplenty and incredibly noticeable, the funny thing is the what I'm going to assume is the "report a bug" option suffers from this and I couldn't understand what the russian was trying to tell me on how to submit a bug report, going into it fully is impossible, I had experiences with events clearly not leading to what they should, Experiences with events showing no or broken dialogue, and the thing that made me put down the game was a softlock via moving to the "old graveyard" and being able to select literally nothing, not even an option to go back or home. There are more bugs than this, The torture section is riddled with small issues mostly lending themselves from the tutorial seemingly not ending properly, items not appearing when they should, and the ability to sell rope at the shop endlessly and with no downside. So why give this game a positive review? Because when the game ""DID"" work right, It was one of the most intriguing and story rich, imaginative, and downright unique games I've ever played. All of the mechanics """"WHEN"""" they function properly add to this game being a great Thriller experience, a "horror" game that doesn't stoop to cheap tricks but also doesn't stoop to tropes either (Mainly from having such a unique Premise) And the sheer amount of content probably rivals The Most open ended RPG's out there, My only real complaint as far as the gameplay itself goes is that especially in a story related game where all of my choices are crucial, having a random luck generated outcome for battle takes a way a bit from the feeling of having my choices mean something, when even the most likely option for success ended up in failure. This game has potential absolutely dripping from every crevice of it, However I'm going to be honest here, after looking through the game's news and reading up on it, I genuinely believe the developers simply didn't want their eager fans to have to wait any longer for their game and didn't want to delay it again, and they probably wanted to share their great creation with them too, However in my opinion they absolutely should of delayed it again, as this amazing game goes from a 9/10 to a 5/10 REAL quick due to it's bugs. So If you are looking for reviews of this game, maybe not get it quite yet but keep a SHARP eye on it and wait for the devs to patch it, since when they do I absolutely will be coming back to this game, and I hope you do too as even when I can finish this game I probably will be filled with excitement for what Lesser Evil Games can do next.

The English translation for this game is absolutely abhorrent. It's painful to read; every scene has multiple spelling and grammar errors. I can say for certain that it was not translated by a fluent speaker. And while the game itself seems good, the childish and poorly articulated text (and there is a LOT of text you have to read in order to play the game properly) ruined the experience for me to the point that I couldn't keep playing it.

XML tags in tutorial dialogues, untranslated russian text in English version... That would be acceptable in early access, but it's a full release. They really should hire some QAs. If they didn't bother to even proofread the [u] tutorial [/u], it doesn't leave a good first impression. I may change the review if it gets fixed
