What players say
Okay, so the story is alright but the characters are ultra cringe. That kind of puts a damper on the experience. The gameplay itself and the world design though are brilliant. If you can manage to sit through weird dialogue and mostly a cringe protagonist, you're in for a treat. Combat seemed underwhelming at first, but that changed soon. Looking back i remembered X-Com was kind of the same back in the day.
Miasma Chronicles is one of those games where the world feels larger than the part you actually get to explore. The developers (the same team behind Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden I believe) created a setting with a background, history, and implied depth that makes you feel like you are playing a sequel without feeling cheated that this is all new. The whole time I felt like I had been there before but not. It is of...
yet another depressing purchase that i want to remember that i spent money on so that i know what to look for before BUYING A GARBAGE GAME,
