A solid game (albeit really hardcore)
Vaporum is - much much like the Legend of Grimrock series - a modern-day throwback to the dungeon crawler RPGs of old. This is most noticeable in how unwaveringly hardcore Vaporum is throughout its game design. Combat is grid-based and real-time, and most enemies' usual attack speed is FAST, so be prepared to do the "side-step dance" to avoid enemy attacks. Personally, I found the pace of combat to be a little too fast for me, so I had to rely on the “stop time” function to get through a number of battles - but this then made the fights too easy (but then again, I’m an old-time gamer, so my twitch reflexes aren't as good as they used to be). Secondly, while I love hidden secrets and puzzles in games, I found many of the secrets in this game to be a little TOO well-hidden: a lot of the secret buttons are so small, and their colour palette blends in so well with their surroundings, that you really have to pixel-hunt to find many of them. Many times I searched the same wall repeatedly before I noticed the button, and this level of pixel-hunting was just not enjoyable for me. All this being said, I did love the game and the style of gameplay it presents. Solving puzzles and clearing out levels was fun. The game is also just dripping with atmosphere; since most dungeon crawlers typically take place in medieval fantasy settings, it was refreshing to have a creepy, abandoned industrial tower as the game’s setting, and the graphics really sell this. I also appreciated that the game devs included some environmental reactivity into Vaporum, as in a few instances, you could use the game’s traps and hazards to your advantage by luring enemies into them. Overall, this was a great game; if they had toned down the combat speed just a bit to make it more accessible, it’d be perfect.
