Cryptmaster

Cryptmaster is a fantastic adventure game with options where you can choose to play a turn based adventure or a real time do everything you can to survive mode. I chose the real time cause i like the adreanaline it gives when i have to do something fast and efficiently. The concept of 4 dead adventures who comes back as undead because of the person who callles himself the Cryptmaster and begins the quest of getting into the human world was cool to me. The silly and sometimes questionable past of the 4 undead was amusing to read. I absolutely loved the background scores. The spooky CRYPTMASTER THEME, the beautiful ADGA THE CHASTE SONG and the kinda goofy RATS SONG. Every song was perfect. All the characters in this game was well written . Their discint personality and past stories really made it easier for me to love this game. I especially LIKE VITUS THE PIPER. His rap song was a banger. The voice actors did their jobs really well. LIKE TOOOO WELL. The VA for the Goddess of flirtation ISS is the best example. Good job VA's. There was nothing for me to criticise in the gameplay of the game. The riddles were funny ,witty and fights were really properly entertaining. Although the black and white way of the game was kinda irritating for me at first. Thats my problem for not properly looking into the options available in the settings. Overall this game is fun, entertaining and brain teasing. I could definitely see the work the devs put into this game. A 10/10 game that i ABSOLUTELY recommend anyone to play atleast once.

This is a good game edging towards a great game, let down by a few small problems and one large one. It's a dungeon crawler that feels like you are playing Wordle - and that's the part that's great. It's full of riddles and other word problems, and they are often good, but the difficulty and level of forgiveness in them varries wildly. The riddles you get as many attempts as you like, and it will give you the answer if you fail. The guess the object from weird clues puzzles you get one try at, and if you fail, you have no idea what the right answer was. But the flaw at the centre of it all is the combat. You have a few basic skills, and then, as you level up through clever word guessing mechanics, you unlock new skills. The problem is that while the new skills are often really clever, from a pure min-max perspective, your starting skills are better 90% of the time - making combat usually borring when it could have been interesting. And given that it's a dungeon crawler, combat is the activity you will do the most of. But the writing is good and the world building is fun, so all told it's still a good experience.
