Really great and surprisingly educational game! Teaches you a lot of concepts like Delta V. Not to say it doesn't get boring at times... Waiting 30 minutes to get to your destination really gets old after a while.
The combat in this game is not "atrocious" nor is the UI, it takes some learning but once you get into it, it's a real hard survival sim! It's also actually a roguelike as it meets all of the specifications. I love the setting, post apocalyptic Michigan is a great and haunting place to wander about while killing people with a rock for their rag shoes. I don't want to drag this review on and on, but I REALLY love the game. Go get it!
Contrary to what people are saying, this patch FIXED the game in many ways, and actually made it more balanced. Love this game forever. Don't listen to the other reviews, plus the content is %100 optional.
**** the metacritic score! It's just people coming in and expecting a survival sim when this game is really a narrative journey! The accounts of people who lived 200 years ago are so well written, like holy **** There is literally a novel's worth of text! This is seriously one of the best games I have ever played in my entire life. It's immersive, it's beautiful, it's an experience.
Please keep in mind thus is my very first review. Thanks. Eldritch is an indie rougelikelike developed by minir key games. You wake up as a librairian stuck in a library, and before you are 3 books, every.book takes you to a new world which you can explore, and fight monsters in. Athe end of every level is a soul. The soul for the first world opens another book/world. Thr game is mistly easy but there is a HUGE difficulty spike in the second level. The game is very low on content, and i wish to see more, but until now, Eldritch is enough yo satisfy my indie rougelike needs.
