Get insane, and not in a good way

While the game has an interesting story in the lovecraftian universe it is (right now) a pretty mess. There are a lot of great ideas, but the less than mediocre gameplay will leave you frustrated. Some oft the major problems I encountered after 20 hours of gaming: - The save function is annoying. There is an autosave option, which gets overwritten by the time. So no loading of earlier game files. - No tutorial and missing informations: Your character gets addicted to a substance? Great! What are the drawbacks gamewise? No explanation. - Your companions but can't properly use their skills beside crafting (this function was unlocked with a patch after the release, because the game was even more frustrating to start with). So if you want to investigate or break locks invest your skill points in every possible skill and build a jack of all trades at the cost of being really good in a certain field. - What would be the Mythos without insanity? Lose sanity points and develope some mania. While this influences your characters stats and dialogue options, it also starts to blur parts of your screen, and looking on this blurred screen highly annoying. Bonus points: Right now you can't get rid of this „feature“, and you can’t heal those mentally handicaps too! Just play the next 15 hours with a flickering screen. Buy every possible equipment. The game will put you in situations, where you need special equipment to solve quests and progress with the story. E.g. Bring a shovel to the „Blasted Street“ quest. Otherwise run back, lose sanity, consume your rations, rest, buy a shovel, run to the street, possible fight some cultist on the way, lose more sanity and gain Angst points (which will give you handicaps like depression and fun stuff) just to solve this quest. I hope, that the devs will put some more work (and a lot of patches) in this game, to make it enjoyable. I really like the setting and the story, and it is sad to see it all destroyed by the game mechanics.

Superb cosmic horror, but with bugs.

Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones is by far one of the best Lovecraft inspired games out there: it's atmosphere is off the charts and get's the feeling of inescapable dread like few other games. It's burstsing as the seems with references and characters from Lovecraft's work and actual life and it weaves it all together in a tightly knit and coeherent narrative, even one in which madness is the end resault. The gameplay is an intresting mix of GDR and light tactical combat, which is fun but also very demanding to the point that it's often best to avoid combat when possibile, but it dosen't hinder progression as one levels up mostly thanks to non-violent means. That said the main problem of the game, not considering the rough edges that the developers have promissed to address, are th numerous bugs that hinder the experience. Up until my 17th hour in the game the bugs had been very light and just mildly annoying, but then I ran into a bug that crashes my game and I can't proceed. The good thing is that the devs are hard at working in squashing the bugs, and even with this game breaking bug I still think the game is great.

Linux-Version not working

due to missing files, as someone mentioned in the forum, this game only starts the intro and the not responding main menu which can only exited with alt+F4. This problem was experienced by many users in the forum and one figured out a fix, by adding the right missing files from the windows version to the game-directory (it seems the game still breaks at some certain point though). Looks like laziness for me, which is why i wasnt even trying it out. Why should i spend my time (maybe even hours) to fix their broken and incomplete game directory, when they should do it. They sell this game as full released for quite a while now and the least thing to expect is to get an installer with the complete game. For the obvious still broken state, as well as the not working linux version = one star. I will gladly remove this review though if they fix their game at some point. Because, even for the overused topic, it looks pretty neat and unique. Maybe as an official reworked version which would be highly appreciated.

Very good, replayable game

I needed 45 hours of gameplay to finish the game with my first character, for me it was very difficult to understand the general logic and mechanics (what should I buy and what not, which skills should I upgrade etc.) but the game itself was so attractive that I kept grinding until I gained thorough knowledge of how to play. It's very good, very well made game overall. I don't like saving system, always remember the approx. time when you save before you quit, it will come in handy. The description of the game is true, based on what kind of character you create, your experience will be unique, youtube won't help you much even if you try to search something there and that for me was an additional bonus. To sum it up you'll need time to learn the game but you'll enjoy it, recommended.

More graphic novel than RPG

The art is just gorgeous. I made myself to the end just to enjoy a little more of the world. The lovecraftian feel is precise and coherent with the original work. But the game didn't work well as a typical RPG. Combat is very simple and feel more like an obstacle than a feature. The char building isn't intricate and choices of weapon / playstyle didn't seem to make a difference. Maybe a point 'n click narrative adventure would make more sense.
