Spheriums - Gameplay and Narrative Review - Let's play
0Overall: 4/10 The concept, the world, and the art of this game is interesting, but the game struggled to be enjoyable to play. All the systems felt unnatural to interact with and difficult to understand.
Gameplay: The running / weapon energy system probably should be retooled. Allowing the player to jump would be nice since there seem to be certain obstacles I can climb over and others I can't with little distinction between them. Also the movement overall felt slow, sluggish, and not satisfying. Likewise the weapon interaction was too short ranged and frustrating.
Narrative: The world's concept sounded interesting, but the gameplay stopped me from being able to learn more about this situation the character was in.
Progression: There seems to be lots of interesting menus, but there's a bit too much information overload early in the game. Perhaps lock some of the menus until either they are explained or at least until I have enough resources to use them.
