In-game
« A very nice dungeon-crawling first-person slasher that ties itself into E.Y.E's lore. Gorgeous graphics with a really nice designs going there. Meaty melee combat. Well-established StreumOn flair all over it (in all aspects) :) »👍 anonymous review · 90 h played11« Bourrin, VIOLENT !

« VERY early access but I like what I see. do not buy it right now though, when i say very early access I mean it. Also doing this to fund EYE 2 development »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played11« Game has tons of potential. Combat feel is great. But the crashing, while has gotten better, is just game breaking. You can spend an hour in expedition and lose 90% of your loot to a crash. Will return maybe next year to see if fixed. »👎 anonymous review · 11 h played1« sur 500 avis, seulement 90 on plus de 10h de jeux. rien a ajouter de plus mdr pour 35euro avec zero contenue, une histoire vide, une bande sont naze et un game plays repetitif ses grand mort. »👎 anonymous review · 31 h played« The game was actually pretty cool, runs well (FPS wise) and movement was slick. However it crashed on every single run we did so refunded it, I cannot recommend it at this time. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Has to suck when you buy your freedom only to have lost all of the magic that made your first game so good. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Un peu brute de décoffrage , mais un gameplay agréable et un gros potentiel, les hotfix tombent assez rapidement, ce qui est rassurant pour la suite ! »👍 anonymous review · 14 h played
