About the game
Scathe is an intense, blood-soaked FPS where quick reflexes are the key to surviving bullet Hell. Rip through the labyrinth that stands between you and your ascension. Blast your way through the underworld’s deadliest demons solo or with up to three comrades in drop-in/drop-out online co-op.

The value story
Across all 26 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 40 percent, about 4 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 83 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 90 percent. Devil Daggers ($9.99, scores 78) outscores it, and so does F.E.A.R. 3 ($3.99, scores 31). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
appears to be abandoned and broken. I played when it first released and it the ideas were interesting but needed a little more refinement. Now it appears they have sold and current owner broke the game. launch screen is a blank screen that does nothing. had to alt+f4 to get out of it. Steam should de-list this.

This game is very average at best. Finding extra weapons is a chore and you cannot customise your reticle or your view. Just meh !
i dont really know what to think about the game, I like the game but mostly because I like doomlike games, the game has too many seams and feels more like shooting to bullet sponges, I would compare this experience to downloading a map in garrys mod, putting enemies around the map and shooting them since there isnt much variety of enemies, the bosses dont have many attacks and are a bit silly, there aren't many...
