TERRACOTTA Reviews

great adventure with nice touches and beautiful art and fantastic ambient music. Good story with Asian wisdom mixed in. Gets more difficult the further you advance. Clearly draws from games like Zelda and similar ones. If you are a fan of Zelda, you must play Terracotta

What seams very simple and easy at first quickly becomes a lot harder and challenging. It took me a while to get the QI dynamics and the movement right but really liked it. The artwork and the soundtracks are amazing. Recommended!

Some really interesting puzzles, and a cool setting and art style!

I like very much that you have to change between two very different game modes to solve the puzzles: one more peaceful and another game more arcade. The aesthetics and the music make this game a really beautiful experience. Still playing it but loving it so far.

I really loved the mechanics and the quests! Some of them were quite difficult for me to puss but I was trying to solve again and again! Highly recommend.

Unfortunately a game breaking bug on second level, where you are supposed to use a new skill, but the key bind for that does not work, neither does the controller bind. That prevents me from continuing with the game, luckily under 2 hours, so I was able to refund it.

Unique application of puzzles combined with some action. I love the setting and the Asian lore, controls could improve a bit and some parts look a bit difficult for me, but overall I'm having quite some fun with it, in a refreshing way.

A really cool game that mixes both puzzles and action to fight the enemies. It has a really cool concept with two dimensions and the use of energy to create barriers! Also, I love the designs of the different scenarios and the music

An interesting game, for sure, but far too janky to be enjoyable. First of all, the English text is complete gibberish most of the time. I understand English is not the dev's first language, but I don't understand Spanish or Chinese! What scant tutorial there is makes no sense; I needed to look at a youtube video just to learn how to play. The controls themselves are also super fiddly and not very intuitive. Even Controller support is iffy, and sometimes struggles to register when a button is being held down. There are also bugs. The player character sometimes falls out of world, as does collectible objects. Sometimes enemies just run into walls forever, and collision seems all over the place. I understand this is an indie game, but for a "finished" game (that you expect people to pay real money for) bugs of this sort are inexcusable. And I ran into these despite only playing for an hour! It's a shame, because I can see what the dev is going for, and I'd love to play a game like this, but the execution is all over the place. It's not unplayable, just very disappointing; I have ultimately decided to refund rather than go any further.

Interesting idea, the music and the visuals are nice. There is some storyline as well in there somewhere, but nothing important, the small stories are nice. But this game should be in early access or in its current state cheaper. In the later parts of the game it even feels like I am supposed to be the one testing it for bugs. In the last chapter at least you can bypass a lot of puzzle elements just by jumping "creatively". I think that was an oversight by the developers, but I was really thankful for that, because by that time the game was way too tedious and annoying. The biggest problem in the last chapter is when you fall of the map in certain levels the game either puts you to the start of the current level (more annoying in pointlessly enlarged levels) or doesn't register your demise and you just fall endlessly. In the latter case you have to exit to the main menu, restart your save and walk around in that absolulety useless starting elevator "dimension" just to get to play again. (Okay, this elevator place is not that problematic if the game works as intended, but when you have to restart you session multiple times, you just wish it never existed.) Oh, and if you didn't find some collectibles and small stories in the first part of the game (before the elevator) for whatever reason, well, shame. Currently there is no option to revisit that part of the game without completely restarting you save file (at least I didn't find it). There are some other miniscule bugs here and there (which grow in number the more you progress), but nothing serious. At least the game can be completed now. It is not bad, but for this price I wouldn't recommend it, only if there is some discount on it.
