the ugly fucking horseshit:
this game's presentation is fucking dire. so many bugs, so many broken portraits, or events, so many crashes, lag everywhere, the game looks fucking ugly. this should be an embarrassment for the entire beta test team, if they even exist, and it reflects horribly on the devs' standard of quality. this was supposed to be the 'early game fix and art update'. i applaud the spriter ceiyra for her work, but this is clearly not enough.
there are so many frustrating stupid fucking sections in this game, where the game grinds to a halt to make you do a puzzle, or something equally annoying like several minor tasks. the academy is godawful. illyria is godawful. it's VERY reminiscent of SS2, and while i don't think it gets nearly to that level, we ARE only halfway through, so i can easily see it getting worse (at the very least, i'm never going to replay this all the way through, i don't care if he's making any more adjustments). i have no idea why this game pretends to be replayable, when you'd have to slog through the same shitty sections over and over.
in general, it very much seems like the devs aimed to make a frustrating game, rather than a fun one, and this is why i think they do blow off complaints about toliman killing you or chaparral being a shit field, because they actively want you to be annoyed for some weird and autistic purpose. i would forgive everything, the shit characters and bad art all, if this game were actually fun and snappy to play, i wouldn't say it'd be good, but at least i wouldn't be saying it's one of the worst fangames and games i've ever played.
i would give this a 3/10. if i were anthnee fantingo, i would say it's a weak 3 and more bordering on a 2. i didn't actively despise it as much as i did soulstones, but it's very close.
fuck you octavius, and fuck your shit game. listen to people when they tell you what's wrong with your fucking game, or don't even bother making the rest of it
