Especially ones I've played for 44 minutes. But, thats as far as I could play this game. Its.. really, really bad. I felt like I was playing a FPS from the late 90's. Graphics are substandard, sound is reptitive and quite low quality, and the cutscenes are quite laughable. They are literally 2 characters standing there, with the camera rotating around, and occasionally focusing on.. well.. a dark field? I wasnt sure, as there was little to no detail. Now Ive bought plenty of games in early access, and if this was an Alpha, with additional graphical upgrades, sound, etc to come, then I wouldnt be too critical of it. But.. this is it. There is snow falling inside of rooms. Fog in closed off hall ways. Bricked up rooms. Stairs that are so steep that you have to hop up when you get to the top step. The punch animation looks like a piece of paper with chain mail on it. The final straw for me was when I entered the dining room, to obtain the oil needed to light my torch. It was on top of a cabinet. A cabinet I could only climb by backtracking in the room, climbing a oveturned table, climbing half way up the wall, and then walking over to hop on top. Is this what the waitress would have done had I asked for some oil for my green salad?. In all honesty I expected pretty bad game. But it surpassed all my expectations. The game is a crime against humanity. Even making such things should be punishable by law. One just can't possibly comprehend it's grandeur - this thing is a mental torture. I think we are stretching the definition of a game with this one. It's a great luck if the thing won't launch on you, but I worked hard to get into it and now I wish I wasn't. I must admit - the game is unintentionally creepy. Like that weird youtube corner you suddenly end up late at night.See, reviews state it pretty clear that the game is so awful it might kill your hamster. But they don't state clearly why.Now I actually started to understand. You can't pick a single bad quality of a game, because EVERYTHING is awful. Controls, visuals, performance, audio, gameplay, story, cinematics, loading times, menus, every damn thing in this game is broken BY DESIGN. And all these parts are dancing in macabre waltz in front of your eyes. Well, at least there isn't any significant bugs because it's all broken by design and it's unfixable by any level of polish.Judging by performance\/visuals and require to disable Data Execution Prevention alone it might even summon Satan in your basement, so clear your browser history while you can.You just couldn't imagine it until you see it. And then you couldn't explain what you saw and felt and you just go post gibberish on steam reviews when repulsion builds up enough for venting.You'll feel dirty after 10 minutes with this one. But you can't wash it away. I tried. You've been warned.. There isn't a whole lot more that can be said about this game that hasn't already been said. It's bad. Not even fun bad, just plain old regular BAD. But let's go over it, shall we?First, the graphics. Everyone knows this. Take one look at the screenshots, it's not too difficult to tell how utterly atrocious they are. The game's description on Steam says that the game has an old-school look to it, (or something like that, I can't be bothered to look up the exact quote) but old-school doesn't even begin to describe it. Castlevania is old-school. Zelda 64 is old-school. Doom is old-school. This game's graphics, on the other hand, just look like they were\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665out by the leftovers from Morrowind, which in my admitedly unpopular opinion, has not aged well at all.Second, let's talk about the controls. You can't keybind anything. You can make some adjustments to mouse sensitivity, and invert the mouse's Y axis, but that's it. Don't like the layout? Well, \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 you. Your character's movement, too, is just weird in general. Movement is very sluggish. Everything seems a bit zoomed in, but if you zoom out, it still just feels nauseating. Combat, if you've got the patience to even get to it (I'll get back to that), is painfully bare. There's no strategy involved whatsoever. Hit your enemy, pull back, then go back in for another hit. Rinse and repeat.Third, let's talk about the story. What's the story? A bunch of monsters and\/or people in scary get-up have been ravaging the land, and got into the castle. They killed all the guards, and took all the money, taxes (yes, taxes), and swords. Also, they took this guy's sister, and you better save her, because you're in love with her. The only image we see of said woman is awkwardly animated, with flailing arms and a grand total of one facial expression. Now normally I wouldn't complain too much about the damsel in distress trope, overused though it may be, but the way this game goes about it is just stupid, to the point where I had to stop after the cutscene to finish laughing. Basic isn't even the word, bad is closer to what I'm looking for.Okay, now here's the big one. How would you expect a fantasy hack and slash video game to open? A tutorial level? Sure. What's in the tutorial level? A few low-level baddies for you to kill, with a few different weapons to try out? Nah, that'd just be asinine. Instead, let's have the tutorial level be a stupidly complex find the key quest, in an overly large castle? Yup, that sounds good to me. Yeah, no litterally, the FIRST instructions you are given in the game are to find a bunch of keys so you can get a sword. But it's not like you just find one key and get your reward. A key opens a door, which opens a chest, which gives you some unnecessary item, which lets you get another key, which THEN lets you get the sword. And all of it is separated between different rooms in this quite large castle.All this makes the game seem REALLY bad. It is. But the worst thing about this game, I repeat, the WORST thing about this game is nothing I have mentioned thus far. What\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665me off most about this game is that Barnabas Collins didn't even get a single appearance. Or Quentin, or Angelique. 0\/10 Worst Game Ever.No, but really, what's with the title, guys? It's not some super obscure thing, Dark Shadows was pretty dang popular back in its day. And okay, even if you didn't know about the show, how could you completely avoid the recent shipwreck of a remake Tim Burton\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665out a couple years ago? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen there.. Hack and slash I think not just keep hitting keys until something happens. Lumpy movement poor , no map no idea where you are, inventory a joke do not buy this. I did not get too far with this game, it was so\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665I-N-G horrible. First off you have to sit through 8 minutes of the credits EVERY time you start the game, no jumping right to the menu. The graphics are REALLY bad, like something a game design student might produce as a freshman. voice acting is pure amateur, the characters lips don' t even move. Mouse sensitivity is low, its like you are drunk or your connection is laggy. Controls are not customizable WASD to move and thats it. This alone is a deal killer for the Munkey.Go ahead and buy it, see for yourself what an awful, horrible peice of crap this is.. Redundandt and bland are the best word to describe this handiwork Granted the game is probably a low budget project, it simply fails to be fun.Killing the same generic monsters over and over agiain gets agonizingly boring, expecially with such a simple combat system.. Indescribable game. Predictable Gameplay, Hidden Progression Requirements, Asinine Objectives. Probably one of the worst gaming experiences I've had in awhile. I was bored. I felt embarrassed for the game developers.
