Lichdom

Really fun and enjoyable. It’s simple, smooth, and entertaining, with great gameplay and good vibes all around. Addictive and satisfying, I keep coming back for more. Overall, a solid game that’s fun, relaxing, and has just the right amount of challenge.

its a boomer shooter doom clone.
you can craft any spell you can imagine and this part is a lot of fun.
the game is clearly designed for a controller as movement is sluggish for a mouse but fun on a controller, spell casting and activating things are also very slow for a mouse but nice on a controller.
there is no reticle and the fov is bad for a monitor, while attacks like beams and ground sigils are fine, projectile attacks cannot be properly aimed. to remedy this, the game adds homing to projectiles, this clearly was designed with a controller in mind.
the keyboard control scheme is as good the controller control scheme. this part is well done.
designing a boomer shooter for a controller doomed this game as there is no market for it, but the game is very enjoyable if you know what to expect from it. try it out, it can be fun.
game has some great particle effects. the small details in the environment is also great.
the setting is dark fantasy and the graphic design is well done for it. voice acting is serviceable.
I liked that mechanics and gameplay elements were only explained the second time you encounter them, allowing you to experiment and find them on your own.

I finally got around to finish this game. Firstly, keep in mind this is a pure mage game and you will do a lot of dodging.
Overall it is a very good game that has driven me nuts to figure out a good combination of spells to use and upgrade.

The spell crafting system is very good, you need to strategise and not just dump into a fight.
Upgrades are a must and you have 10 areas to keep upgraded - this means it can get very annoying to try and collect all the components you need every single time you play.

To give you an idea: each upgrade costs 2 of the same rarity. Rarities are as follows: 1. Common, 2. Uncommon, 3. Rare, 4. Super Rare, 5. Legendary, 6. Unique (only for the shapes).
Each shape can have up to 5 augments - which means trying to get 5 legendaries is hellish to say the least.

Combat can be taxing on the dodging front. Depending on the boss, you might need to change your tactics, load outs etc. Again it is made difficult since there is such a lock in place on the crafting side.

The story is ok, quite standard overall but can be developed further with a decent sequel.

If you are a fan of magic, then yes go ahead and play this one - it is by far the best magic system I have played where it actually pays off.

super fun the crafting system is confusing but youll figure it out

Man I bought this game a long time ago and slept on it. Just started playing it and its really good, levels/maps are very interesting. graphics are pretty enough! It also works great with my ps5 controller, I like how it has fireball assist when ur on a controller.. very chill game to play on the couch in the living room over steamlink..

An incredible game when you consider the low price. I got the game when it was on sale, it costed less than 3 $. Combat is kinda like the magic combat in Skyrim, but a lot better and more refined (which makes sense when you consider you can only play as a mage in this game)

A hidden gem.

这游戏真的是在扮演法师而不是像《幽灵线:东京》和EA的一个玩意那样披着法术皮肤的FPS。
有非常之多的各种功效法术而不仅仅是伤害，还能组合出hit box 和特效都质变的新法术。
