Pit of Evil Reviews

I love this game just wish the grammar was better and that it showed quest information,

I played it for a couple of hours, got into an abandoned mine, i.e. the first quest with the full party and I think that's as far as as I go. I'm too bored, with both the story/characters and gameplay. Despite what the devs say, NO, the game doesn't work well with keyboard. It's awkward and clunky and I thought I'd get used to it, but it gets increasingly annoying. And the 'minor bug' of the enemy attacking from off screen, doesn't happen 'very rarely', but almost always. The battle system is awful. It was fine when I had one character, with four, I can nevel tell whose turn it is and it just takes so many clicks to get anything done. Then there's 'journal', which is the complete waste of space. It gives you information about different type of cards you're collect which becomes redundant the moment you pick up the first one, and info about the PAST quests. That's all. Nothing helpful, probably because Barry thinks it' girlish". (So is colour purple, which is repeatedly mentioned as a joke. Hahaha, the guy acted as a girl, so he got a Purple Sword, isn't that funny? No?! Yeah, me neither.) The story is extremely linear, you don't get a chance to explore at all, you need to follow the single path. The storytelling is only forgivable if it was written by 12-year old Barry. If the author(s) is older than that, they should be seriously embarrassed. E.g. Barry goes into a Warrior mine, which is extremely difficult and everyone hopes he survives... but the first time he enters the cave, he tells to himself that it's been a few years since he passed the cave. He's 14 so 'few years back' he was what, 10? Then again, it might be even true, because stakes during this 'rescue quest' are ZERO. No need to worry at all. The dialogue is so dumb it hurts, but just in case the player is dumber, the devs put in 'memories' into the game, that will explicitly explain what happened to you. F the foreshadowing, tension, pace, or gameplay. I'd give it 3 out of 10.

I enjoy the graphics and the music is okay. The idea for the story is good too. Unfortunately, the game obviously was not tested properly and is, in no way, production ready. Within an hour, I encountered several game breaking bugs that required me to reload from save to progress the game. Beyond the bugs, the writing clearly lacked an editor. It's full of misused homonyms, spelling errors, grammar errors, and generally poor, cliche, writing. Since it's been nearly a year since the last update of the game, it seems likely to me the developers have abandoned the game, which is a shame. It definitely has potential to be good

At the beginning, the RPG Maker game looked interesting. The story and music was ok. After six hours the puzzles became too much for me. The fighting became less. That's too boring for me.

Currently playing the game and just have joined this project as a betatester. I play the German version of the game and compared to another betatest this game has really few gamebreaking bugs. Image and sound bugs can easily circumvented by copying a similar named file, pasting and renaming it in the same folder. For the current version I only had to do this twice! But there are many, many passability gliches, mostly in the forests and hills with different planes. The riddles are really innovative and medium to hard to solve. Their difficulty increases during the game. The scarcly set save point have an healing option and invite to grind near them when the boss is too strong or you need money. Some hidden paths will have to be found but are not necessary for completing the main quest. There are no sidequests as this game is really story driven and mostly linear. The battle balance is fair as long as you don't dare to encounter a Warrior. Just avoid them until you have the means to beat them.

Sadly the game didn´t work for me at all, wouldn´t launch. So this is a question mark for me. Others have written about Bugs and stuff not working properly. So I have to agree about this. Don´t buy It before the developers have fixed all the bugs and things that have to be fixed. I really looked forward for this game and had it on my wishlist for long. So Developers! Please fix ALL issues and Then Launch your game. I´d Love to play It! But I don´t recommend It In this buggy/not fixed issues state.

Seems interesting at first. Old School 16bit style JRPG. But the story is extremely lacking and the bugs are way too many. I spent an hour attempting to complete one aspect of finding a cell key, just to end up moving on and found that I had skipped a large portion automatically due to a game bug. It didn't prevent me from continuing the game, just made a huge gap of WTF happened and how? There are a few other things i don't need to mention, but I do not suggest this game.

The game is good except there are some bugs that get in the way of playing the game. I think the price is a little high for a game that has so many bugs. I have to constantly back track to a save point to save due to all the bugs I have encountered. The game has alot of puzzles, I would say the focus is more on puzzles than fighting. I would hold off purchasing the game until the dev. fixes all the issues.

Pit of Evil is an RPGmaker game........and that's about it, story:its pointless, everything you did & do would amount to nothing, remove the story and you'd lose nothing, all that build up had ended up with mediocre plot twist of nothing. Character's: all the ppl you need to is Barry the main character, everyone else is irrelevant, Barry is one of them most stupidest dishonest person in this game, all of his irrational thoughtless actions have led to disasters after disasters and he''ve never been held accountable for anything. gameplay & battle systems:its a typical turn-based RPG with not much to do, money seems to be on the ground everywhere and they response.....soo you can reach that 9999999gold, without a good/decent story, the gameplay in this is pointless.
