Dev abandoned the game, despite he knows the game is in a bad shape possible, he not removed it from the store, he knows it have bugs, achievements are broken, and still sell this crap for more than $ 1.25, his answer... play others game I made, those are better... L-A-M-E. I just reported it. Rate 0/10 - (☆☆☆☆☆) thecrow256 Posted: 14 Sep, 2018 @ 8:04am I am really sorry about the bugs, today I am going to release in its current state. My second year in college…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chamber of Darkness A solid 2D adventure game by The Crow Studio. journey of a fearsome knight, on a journey filled with challenges. enjoyable combat system with combination of melee weapons and abilities. received a key for Beta by GrabTheGames. After playing for 10 minutes, I found many issues. so, I quit and reported the issues to the DEV's and play were very fast on respons and they took the issues seriously. Found an update fixing some of them within half and hour. I like the fast…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I simply can't recommend this game in it's current state. The devs are aware of the bugs as it even states this in game :( Fix the bugs, and you might have a fun game. i'm willing to go back and play this in the future with a fresh pair of eyes but for now avoid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a no. micro -effort- game (only needs 17 MB) surprisingly full of bugs. a painful experience, even if just for few mins of tries. 100% unrecommendable shouldn't be sold. it shouldn't be given away for free.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Movement and attacking are really really confusing and buggy. Lack of responsivness, have to press the attach button many times before it registers. Uninstalled after screen 2.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I won't say it's a great game but I enjoyed it. It's a 2D wanna be ''Dark Souls'' game but way buggier in terms of combat. Don't expect to understand the combat in the first few minutes. You only have light and heavy atack and three slots for spells, you start with only two at the begining of the game. You won't be able to kill the deathworms and the final boss that has two phases that are alike.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This looked like a game I could enjoy. Unfortunately, it is riddled with bugs and needs a lot more work to feel good. :( The achievements also do not work, it looks like. Pardon me, this is not early access anymore! I hate to downvote an earnest attempt but I got so many times stuck in this weird floating box, and blocked in some kind of special ability glitch that I simply cannot recommend the game in its current state. I hope for improvements. The way is the journey.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worst game ever.Buttons dont register + crushes all the time.All challenges are bugged. SUM UP: DONT BUY IT YET NEEDS A LOT OF WORK.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Controls are clunky. Game even suggests that the delay can be fixed by restarting the game in the dialogue of the game. Movement and jumping feels clunky. Most traps are unavoidable. They appear and hit you without any warning. There's no way to block against enemies so when you attack you just have to take a hit. You hit a game blocking bug about 10 levels in when you get a new ability for your spear. The game gives you 1 shot with it to defeat one enemy but no way to recharge it. Levels all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story mode is the only aspect of the game that's functional to any degree. All of the challenge modes crash upon completion. The mechanics are very clunky and the combat is a hassle to say the least. I wouldn't recommend this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →retro action-platformer where your spear needs to be fed the blood of your enemies, basically, this means you heal by killing so that's cool. It's also pretty hard to win https://youtu.be/aVnTI5FYjOE
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dark atmosphere, with nice pixel graphics, but play controls are anything but slick. Sometimes they get stuck. It's bad. Game feels unfinished, and honestly for less than a dollar on sale, I wasn't expecting much, but it's not great. Requesting refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fantasy styled platform game with some features particular that can improve in something more roguelike. I have to say i am pretty old so i am used to love old school platforms and that's why i liked this game that can propose a fantasy themed platform with some rpg elements. I liked really this but i have to say that this product has much potential and needs some improvements then i hope devs will read this and evaluate for an evolution of this product and with some patch can insert some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Chamber of Darkness" is yet another of literally thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This one is very badly, haphazardly assembled from basic GameMaker Studio platformer functions, to the point it barely works. This is a brawler centric platformer, but there's so many defects in it, I'd rather just get into those... after all, fine plot points are irrelevant when gamers never really played the game seriously.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy ambitious mess that is still somewhat enjoyable. I'm a fan of the art style and the level design, it's got an old school Prince of Persia feel to it. I can look past a lot of the bugs, and there are tons of them. If you are looking for something polished run away. Achievements are broken, and the final scene after beating the final boss was broken for me. After delivering the final blow, there was a brief cutscene, and then I was suddenly getting knocked down for no reason and this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has potential but the gameplay suffers from feeling clunky and being not very responsive in combat. Also suffered from glitches where my character would become tired and unable to perform attacks in the first few minutes even after I just respawned and should have been fine. I'd give it another chance later, but it's rather frustrating at this time to play. EDIT: The game's getting a lot better - I revisited it briefly and it appears the devs made nice adjustments to combat and, although…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chamber of Darkness is a side-scrolling action game developed by The Crow Studios and published by GrabTheGames. Built around a dark fantasy premise and a combat system with unusual risk-reward mechanics, the game combines elements of classic beat-’em-up design with light platforming and ability customization. The experience unfolds within the walls of a cursed medieval fortress where danger lurks in every corridor, and the protagonist’s own weapon becomes both a powerful ally and a constant…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The bonus Sasuke story ("Chamber of Darkness") is such a selling point of Naruto Ultimate Ninja 5... but you need to do ALL quests in the game just to unlock it. Christ. I do not have that kind of energy (this shit gets lengthy). I'll only do it if people really want me to.
unlabelledView post →Why am I loving this game? Well mostly because its not complicated, and it gives us that vibe of the first consoles we had as kids. As a game developer I can say they had a good job there developing all the different skills and animations for the character. I love how the skills are unlocked piece by piece, it really got me addicted there. I am really waiting further to see the next updates, I want some new skills to unlock. By the way, the backgrounds are very well made, congratulations to the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It isn't quite Shovel Knight, but it has some potential. Having a spear wielding knight using his own health in order to attack is quite an interesting mechanic, that makes every attack count.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is really a prety good game.I beta tested this a little, and just thought it was exellent. I'd like thank the devs for giving out those codes on Imgur; and it is well worth the £2.09 that it is sold for!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chamber of Darkness is a retro platformer game which will be sure to take you back to your childhood! Whilst playing the game it reminded me immensely of my childhood playing various games on sega megadrive! The game is currently in early access and there are a few minor bugs which are to be expected but you should expect for these bugs to be ironed out for a smooth game come full release. The game features a very simple yet effecting control scheme similar to games of old, using WASD to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow yet another negative review. This game for the most part the negativity comes from how badly the game responds to player inputs ALL of my deaths were due to the fact the game refused to read my attack inputs and this happened plenty of times. This is made worse by the fact that jumping is not a button but instead up on the control pad. So avoid this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since its early access I dont expect a game without any bugs. For now pressing P seems to crash the game for me. This is the error I get. Hope it helps. ___________________________________________ ############################################################################################ FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Key Press Event for P-key Key for object obj_player: Push :: Execution Error - Variable Get -7.ability3(100156, -2147483648) at gml_Object_obj_player_KeyPress_80…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Creative, maze-like, full of traps, surprises & smart enemies game delivering 'Dark Souls' dungeon raiding vibes. The challenging platforming and smart enemies make the experience more interesting, because you never know if an enemy is going to parry your attacks and abilities, or chase you until it kills you. You can also use the environment to your advantage in battles against bosses or mobs, like using higher platforms or luring enemies into the castle traps. Dismentaling enemies can be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely do not recommend, it is a buggy mess, not even fun to play ironically. Devil's advocate though, the vine pumping animation on the wall is kinda cool, and the little character's helmet in the corner takes damage as the health gets lower, pretty normal nowadays but its a neat touch.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Broken and buggy, rushed pos.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too buggy, too bad this could have been a fun little game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy just now, it's too buggy to be playable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off I wanted to start by praising the art and animations. Lots of great work going into this game, I love it. Chamber of Darkness has a lot of great features and a lot more potential. The introduction was very nice and right as I got into the game I wanted to start killing! I foudn many small bugs i nthe game but they have been reported and hopefully taken care of. I got stuck on the first worm boss and I could not get past sadly. Which is why I do not have a ton of hours in the game but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good 2D game, easy game mechanics, still needs work but it has great potential to grow. The usage of health for combat makes it more challenging, good way to avoid spamming attacks. Personally I liked the Monster mode from the Extra modes, playing literally as the bad guy on a 2D game? Nice experience. By the way on Monster mode, you can get "out of the map", just go all the way to the left until you "fall". - I started on easy difficulty, I read other user noticing the "choose 3…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has good old retro vibe but require more work. 7/10 for pixel art and tons of abilities. Follow my curator page here: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33581320-Indie-Rulez/
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like old school games and this is my taste loved it ......But Multiplayer is not working
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didin't expect this game to be that solid actually, it impressed me. I like the small graphical details here and there like the holes in the walls with eyes in them looking left and right, the green veins on walls that pulse, paintings and logos that made the game look alive a little bit. The gameplay was really enjoyable, I was able to walkthrough the entire game but unfortunatly it crashed after I beat the final boss after three or four tries. For a game that developed by one person it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A retro fanatasy platformer for all the old school gamers! Chamber of Darkness is a solid retro platformer style game with rpg elements. I found that the art style and the mechanics of the game took me back to playing the SEGA Megadrive when I was a kid! The game is still in early access, but it is looking like it's going smoothly to being a successful full release. The combat system of the game is quite similar to old school platformers, but it comes with a twist. You can perform light…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chamber of Darknes is platform game made by only one person that communicate with players and hes friendly thats what i like about him. But lets go to gane. You playing as knigt and your task is to kill all monsters and main boss. Main campaign can be done in hour or two because some glitches but they were fixed soo it wont ve that hard now. But dont worry about the time n the campaign there are lot of things to do. You can play challenges like survival mode and unlock speels. There are more…
