A piece of art in the gaming industry

From the very first moment you lunch Stygian, you understand it's not one of the other millions of games out there. It has been made with passion, knowledge, and amazing skills, and all of these things shine through in every single istant in the game. The hand drawings are beautiful, the story is simply captivating, and the lovecraftian atmosphere perfectly rendered. The dialogues and stories are incredibly well written and the references to Lovecraft's work are perfectly placed and accurate. I have rarely played a game of such quality. The game mechanics are also very fun to use, and while I feel the combat system could be polished slightly (for example, some icons to click become obstructed when many characters are close together), the overall experience is just great. Go over the occasional bug and let yourself be mesmerised by this game, you will not regret purchasing it even at full price.

К покупке НЕ РЕКОМЕНДУЮ!

До альфы игра не доделана. Предполагается что игра как и книга будет логически завершена, да же если планируется разбиение на несколько частей то бросать повествование/сюжет без завершения, хотя бы промежуточного - откровенный брак. Для тех кто все же решится играть - спойлер - основной квест вы не завершите даже наполовину. Часть рецептов вы не сможете создать - в принципе не сможете - компоненты для них появляются на том этапе когда доступа к лаборатории (носимой согласно рецепта недостаточно) у вас не будет... Часть артефактов не опознается... у части не определяются недостатки... некоторые недостатки указанные в артефактах более нигде не отображаются - Примеры Печать Татру - имеет проклятье Недостаток:Высокомерие - недостаток нигде не отображается и как влияет на персонажа (если влияет) непонятно. Пиджак Бертолини и Нож Джека, Сабля Гранта - преимущество известно... а вот недостаток определить нельзя - но недостаток к примеру у пиджака точно есть и работает. Отдельно по сохранениям - пускай хоррор и такая система что самостоятельно не сохранится.... бог с ним... но вот то что при создании нового перса сохранения старого заблокируются это ... мне непонятно. Сама по себе задумка - хороша и исполнение СДЕЛАННОГО куска игры вполне достойно и играбельна... но как я уже и сказал игра сделана наполовину... ну 60% предполагаемого сюжета... и скомканная концовка. Такое впечатление что в определенный момент кто то сказал - все заканчиваем и выпускаем как есть то что есть.

Just a short oppinon

The game isn't finished, and I'm not talking about the bugs, at the point, when you see the credits, you are only half way through the main quest, and the game just ends. Real shame, it had some crazy things and wery interesting use of Lovecraftian creatures

From great to ugly and back to great and back in a span of a couple of minutes

I would maybe give this game 3 stars but I want the developers to get more money from it to be able to make the second part better. Such a great art style(10/10), writing, and so many unique amazing ideas buried under the mound of bugs(the game feels like an early beta), sometimes tedious gameplay(debuffs are fun, aren't they?), and loading screens(it may take up to ten loading screens just to visit a couple of stores to buy supplies). Also, I would give a suggestion to the developers - cliffhangers must happen after you've given the audience at least some feel of finality. If they keep the art style and fix the bugs and the loading screens for the next game, I'm definitely buying the sequel.

The best Lovecraft game in years.

I'll state first that this game does have bugs at the time of this review, nothing game breaking, but did require me to close and reopen the game. Also I don't tend to type reviews so this will probably be formatted terribly. Sorry. We seem to be in a renaissance of Lovecraft mythos inspired games right now, from the action oriented Lovecraft's Untold Stories and Tesla Vs Lovecraft, which are fun but capture none of what the Mythos is supposed to feel like, to the story heavy narrative RPGs like Call of Cthulu or Sinking City, which strike the right tone but have some massive flaws. Stygian is a masterpiece in atmosphere, the hand drawn aesthetic paired with the horrific attention to detail means that every area you visit feels so alive! I never thought a top down isometric game like this could spook me, but some parts of the game are downright bone chilling! The gameplay is divided into 2 main parts, exploration and combat. Exploration is on par with Baldurs Gate. You walk around the ruined town of Arkham, interviewing the weary townfolk and using a variety of investigative skills to uncover evidence. Combat is the second half of gameplay, and is fought turn-based on a hex grid. It's very reminiscent of the classic Heroes of Might and Magic games. It's a little slow and clunky at times, but still plays quite well. The game also focuses on the stress of combat, and encourages you to avoid it where possible. The devs have stated that they wrote every quest to have at least 4 solutions: direct, cunning, intellectual and costly, so even characters with no combat expertise can solve quests with minimal fighting. In summary, Stygian is a masterpiece in the genre. A horror isometric detective rpg that reuses themes and characters any fan of Lovecraft will recognize, and makes the best use of them to build an incredible world. TLDR: An atmospheric masterpiece.
