Worth playing, I just want more
I enjoyed my time with Amid Evil for most of it and I think it deserves praise for what it isn't: an over-the-top "send you to hell" metal smashing X-TREME boomer shooter. We have enough of those, thanks. Also, thanks for not making a roguelike. It's a beautiful game, the weapons are inventive and fun, the atmosphere and music are wonderful. It just feels kinda...like a beta? Your "adventure" feels pointless. The small bits of text scattered throughout the game are so minimal they don't feel like a meaningful addition to the world. It's technically better than nothing, but barely. ...the Forge, man. Why? The opening level of the Forge is really atmospheric and beautiful, and then the platforming starts. And then Crucible of Pain. And the ******* traps. And the enemies designed to screw you over in those traps. And...look, I get that there's a fine line between difficulty and power fantasy. It's fine for things to be hard, but that whole area just feels mean-spirited and unfair. It's great when things are *hard* but it feels like it's *your fault* that you died. Other than that, it doesn't feel like difficulty selection matters much. The gulf between Easy, Normal and Hard feels minimal to nonexistant. So, I had a bunch of negative things to say and some positive, but overall? Yeah, it's worth it for a shooter that feels different and is (mostly) fun in short bursts. It's not deep, but I appreciate what they went for here and even if I wanted more than maybe the devs themselves wanted to deliver, it's still a journey worth taking.
