60 of 180 · most liked firstI do have to make an important point, before getting to the meat of my review. I play Danmachi Memoria Freeze on my phone, where I'm the captain of a fairly high ranked familia in my own right, I own all the books that have been released on the U.S. side of the pond so far, and I own Seasons 1 and 2 of the anime, as well as the Sword Oratoria anime. So I will freely admit to being somewhat biased in favor of the material that was used as the base, here. That said, I don't much care, and if a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to like this game, but I don't think it meets my expectations. Here are some reasons why. -The story is a clone of the main series and spin off. If you have seen the series then you will find the game provides you some of what you have already seen. Nothing new is really available outside of a couple character scenes. I found myself skipping and ignoring the story after the first couple chapters because not only was it nothing new, but they omit certain parts and ruin the consistency…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, while the full title for this game is "Is It Wrong To Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Infinite Combate", I will refer to it as DanMachi, the short name for the anime, as the original English one turned out to be quite long. Anyway, anime fans have probably heard about the anime before. Unfortunately, I don't watch a lot of anime, but, on the other hand, I absolutely adore anime games. Thus, I jumped at the chance of being able to play DanMachi on PC which combines visual novel…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →EDIT: Found a fix for controller support. See below original review. 20 minute review (will update/delete if patched) -No controller support -Terrible default keyboard controls -Incomprehensible input remapping -No, "return to default" keyboard binding -Freezes in Big Picture Mode As my game stands, it's unplayable. I tried to remap the controls for a Switch Pro controller, but something went wrong (I don't even know what) and now the default controls have been messed up. Without being…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This title is flawed in so many ways: 1. Critical hits and attribute advantage don't really add any substantial damage. 2. There's an ungodly amount of typos on the dialogue. 3. The 1st boss is by far the hardest of all the bosses. 4. There's not enough content to justify the price tag. 5. Endgame (Extra Chapter) is a joke and an insult. 6. Boss "animations" are the most annoying thing ever. The game expects you to grind this bosses, but each has like a 20 second "animation". And by…

Otherwise some of your CG scene will remain lock and cannot earn any achievement. Credits to [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1187940/discussions/0/2912094978025075480/]KevGuuey. After 3 days of playing, what I like about this game: Bed scene We can play as Aiz too and her individual storyline. Interesting exclusive story for the game and unique side quest. Negative thoughts, Haruhime and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So this game kinda follows the timeline of Danmachi season 1 and Danmachi Gaiden. Overall? Gameplay sucks, controls sadly are a large part of why it sucks (not sure who decided on the control format, but they should be fired), and the story is nothing new. In all honesty, despite the plot of the anime being a prime target for a game adaptation, I don't know how it resulted in something so bad. So the gameplay itself is mediocre, it feels like a quickly put-together Slash-Em-Up RPG. I'm not…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A miss if i may say. The game has a lot of potential given the source material but sadly the stale dialogues and lukewarm hack&slash game play with little of depth of its mechanic didn't help this game. There's a lot better jrpgs that gave more to the players if you like a smartphone-like games maybe you'll find this game appealing but other than that there's little that this game could offer to satisfy any fan of jrpg or hack n' slash games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a great pleasure to meet DanMachi as a game!ヽ(=´▽`=)ノ Intro DanMachi. Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Infinite Combate. This is an anime character game produced by Mages and published by PQube. It is based on the popular Japanese light novel. The light novel is a popular novel category, and generally refers to a novel in the form of a small plate with illustrations in Japanese manga style. Thanks to the popularity of the original work, DanMachi, an animation series was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like a horrible cash grab of a game-- Just a rehash of the anime's plot, absolutely nothing new of substance. Can't rebind the horrible keyboard controls, and -every single dungeon dive is essentially the same-. Hard skip unless you -really- love the show and the thought of your hands cramping up from mashing Z to attack.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would give a slight recommendation if you are both a Danmachi fan AND it's at least 90% off, but those are pretty big hurdles to give an overall positive review. THE ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE: -The game defaults to and forces you to use an awful keyboard configuration. There are some old posts on the Steam discussions giving instructions to get proper gamepad support, but it appears to have been PATCHED OUT. Following those instructions will get you some controller support, but you still won't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am speechless...this is probably one of the worst games I played in my life, and I played some **** in my life... First of all, if you never watched Danmachi (the actual name of the show, no one actually uses the ridiculous english title), this game wont make you want to watch it, in fact it will probably make you hate it. And if you have watched the show, you will definitely hate the people who made this. I bought it cause I really enjoyed Danmachi and heard you can unlock "totally not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →youtube gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTQcdlokEUM useful guide here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2194449915 As a fan of the anime, it is fun mix between dungeon crawling and visual novel. It follows the anime storyline with some extra stuff. Along with the story mode, you can also go on quests to fight goblins and monsters, finding items etc, as well as being able to go on dates. You can also play different various characters like Bell and Aiz. The visual…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game's usual asking price is 40 euros. Luckily I bought it for 5. It has many problems. Music not looping properly, bossfights being completely glitched making them a joke, looking bad, and no remappable controls. Even if you're playing this as a DanMachi fan (which is most of us) I still wouldn't recommend it. The game is 90% dialouge from the anime put into visual novel-style cutscenes. And the gameplay, which there is not a lot of, is terrible. The post game however seemed fun to me,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For now I would say it's a miss. Sure I haven't played the game for long since it just released. maybe they'll update it to be better somehow but as right now, I'm against it. (EDIT: Okay, the controller works fine now. It would be nice to have the buttons actually displayed in the game instead of the keyboard controls, but whatever works I guess) I had to use the generic controller bind to actually get it to be like other jrpg games I've played, and the attack animations just seems…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Make sure you are absolutely a died hard fan of the anime before you buy this! and once you have found out of that, then don't buy it if you are, because there is a number of things the devs decided to do really different, than what made the anime great. The Mixed review is not just there because of salty fans or kids who cant complete the game. sadly it is because of the differences that the game lack, which the anime provided. 1. Sandbox, the hole anime is about dungeon runs, where each run…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am gonna admit that I bought this game with out looking at game play or reviews, because I had just finished watching seasons 1-3 of the amazing show this game is based on. That is why I will not seek a refund as anyone else in my position might. That said I am gonna layout this game's Pros - Cons and what it could have been, The Good: The Chibi style for the characters was great, and I liked the idea of freely exploring the dungeon until I realized that I was just exploring the same cave…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game needs a complete reworking of the control system if they want a positive review. You cannot set your keybindings in the game, only switch between 3 keybindings the game already has. With a controller, "confirm" is set to the right analog stick clicking in. ...again, you cannot assign keys at all, but you are expected to use the right stick click to progress text in the game. I also pressed every button and "back" isn't one of them. Again, without a proper control scheme, I can't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Jesus... If you want to play a game this inst it.. Its 99% Visual Novel that follows the show, and like 1% mini dungeon which the majority you can just walk past everything and finish.. There is zero challenge to the game, and then its right back to more reading. So if you want to buy a visual novel, this is for you, if you want a game to play.... Id pass. Although I have about maybe an hour into it, so ill update if anything changes.. so boring......
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a complete cash grab, do not buy it. They took an anime that was amazing and really just ♥♥♥♥ the bed. There is 0 strategy needed to play this game. Your attacks are very generic and your magic is even more so generic. There is literally not a thing good about this game. You really should be ashamed of yourselves for publishing this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon" aka "Danmachi" is a well known light novel, which was later adapted into anime and manga. How good is the game we'l talk later, but right now here's some info about PC port. PC port information - Works alright on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. - The game plays entirely on keyboard, without "Mouse". The KB controls itself are pretty fine, though, you can't rebind/remap buttons in-game atm.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →why is it so hard to let the player change his button configuration?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is my first somewhat critical game review on steam, but here's my opinion. Only have played for 25 minutes or so, but I say it definitely has potential. first off, I plugged my PS4 controller and it worked fine without any other software such as DS4 (the buttons just don't show up on screen telling me what buttons do). Need to play more of the game, but I really don't see how this game is "Roguelike" quite yet (other that possibly randomized dungeons). Roguelikes have permadeath, so I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bit to overprice for what it offers ; 90% of the game is Visual Novel style less gameplay more just recaping the story of season 1,2,Aiz off story ; it does not bring anything new ; no twists ; no changes ; its just copy pasta of the TV show + 2d dungeon missions side scrolling grind . It feels poor designed and not thought out ; has little to no engage they coudlve at least make it 3d (3rd person JRPG) or something similar ; this cannot be considered a JRPG ... the correct tags for this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game has a stick up its arse. finnished the game in 9 hours. and its only season 1 limited weapons every monster drops items. hestia knife does not level up nor does it include base stats you can lvl hestia knife up via materials xp is based on the story, were skill is the only true value of your time played huge let down
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So you love the anime? Watch the anime than play this, I'd say. You're just gonna waste your time like me. Better play a different game. I bought this when it was on sale for 95% on 15th anniversary. I'd rather buy the Blu-ray of the anime than play this slowpoke.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game on sale at $24 and even then this is asking a bit much. The gameplay is extremely bland and basic, and sometimes comically bad. The best way to describe this game is to say they clearly wanted to just make a VN but somebody decided there needed to be an actual "game" so they put in the most bare bones gameplay to push through. The combat is repetitive, the story constantly flips back and forth between Bell and Aiz (which has its ups and downs), and overall there's little to do…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An experience so dull that I can't be assed to write a full review, and so mind-numbingly easy (save for the first boss that they purposefully set you for a hard time with) that the real game doesn't feel like it starts until you enter post-game. And frankly, it probably should've started off with that, since the main campaign feels like a condensed retelling of the first few story arcs with nothing substantial in-between, and the content there is the only thing of real value for any…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's bad, like holy crap it's bad. Plays like a (bad) mobile game. Just don't do it to yourself.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for the price point... not worth it. Thankfully I was able to get it off a bundle for a lot cheaper and even then it wasn't worth playing. I loved the anime... This game was ... painful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The controls to this game are horrible, both in the menus and in gameplay. The story is not limited to the time limits presented in anime or novels. Can relive the franchise from adventure one and enjoy the entire events from then on in detail. Its just that the controls make the game so hard to enjoy.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a huge fan of danmachi and when i had seen this game i immediately wish listed two days later it goes on sale for $2 it was a huge let down the controls are weird and very uncomfortable the story is decent but the game play is the same go in kill monsters then you win its crazy they are asking $40 if its not on sale don't waste your money and if you do want to try it please wait till it goes on sale. Update gave it another shot still didnt like it sadly

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? No, but it is Wrong to pay the price they are asking to play game the settings are a mess, gameplay is repetitive and the market glitches like a ♥♥♥♥♥. I really wanted to like this game as i adore Damachi anime, sadly the this is a waste of time, i am not sure if it was the game style or the bad settings but after awhile it feels more like a chore than something fun.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warning!! This game is for real Danmachi fan only....
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth the price in my opinion if your want to play a rpg based off a anime play rise of the shield hero not only is it way cheaper but has a better story and gameplay.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute trash. First thing first, people don't play with controller on their PC so they don't bother adding any feature nor explanation regarding the buttons. And forces players to memorize their personal keyboard mapping. Second, there's no game play. You basically just advance story to level-up your character. Because obviously grinding for leveling up or strengthening your character isn't the way to play games. Your stats are locked with story because that's the right way to play games.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To get the controller working properly, go to the game in the library, choose controller configuration, choose browse config, and choose template gamepad. The game supports a controller, just that the default developer made idiotic controller config based on keyboard and mouse is overwriting it. X/A = Confirm O/B = Cancel R1/RB = Next Page L1/LB = Previous Page and etc. basic functions of a gamepad.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is this a good game? Not really. Is this a fun game for fans of the show? I think so. This game isn’t groundbreaking, it’s nothing fancy, it doesn’t push any boundaries; Let’s make that clear. It’s also absolutely not worth the normal price at all. $39.99 for this game is ROBBERY. But as someone that paid $4 for it, I had a lot of fun with it. I’m a fan of the series, and thought I would give this a try after finishing up some of the show and light novels. This game covers the storyline from…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Danmachi, but this game got the worst keybind ever, and the combat system suck.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is actually one of my favorite animes, so I had high hopes for this game. It turns out to be kind of a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's very simply and straightforward in the mechanics and combat. On the other hand, it's a little too simple in some aspects, such as combat. It's just attack 4 times, dodge the opposite direction, don't back yourself into a corner. Then let the monster finish it's round of 3 attacks while you are out of range and repeat. That being said, it is a good…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's better than Call of Duty: Ghosts.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL:DR Infinite Combate is a lazy, low effort, poorly optimized mess that's barely worth 10$ let alone 40$. I can't even recommend this game as a support of the series; it's that bad. The gameplay is mid-2000s dollar bin licensed game quality that runs awfully on even the best of hardware with graphics on par with a slap dash Unity game. The story is a retread of the source material; mainly told through still images with moving lips and text boxes. The gameplay is mobile game levels of basic;…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game because i absolutely love the light novels and anime. I went into this expecting there to be actual controller support or a decent option to set up my own KBM settings. Sadly neither were true, the controls are wonky at best, i tried to find a guide or template to use to set up my own controllers and even it didnt work. I ended up returning the game because of the type of game this is REQUIRES FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT and the game devs just have not come through with it yet. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At this state would not recommend this game. Love the series, voice acting is good, graphics is okay-ish, but : Controller config not working properly which makes the game (lack of free re-configurable keys on keyboard!) unplayable. Even after the so-called controler config patch some days ago... really sad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Gameplay is ridiculously primitive. Story pretty much follows anime and manga, nothing new here, and VN presentation obviously lacks in comparison to those media. Only very big fans would be insterested in this game for some fan service, otherwise seems like a quick cash grab off a popular series.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →keybindings are horrendous
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just mash the button. This game so far has just been basically a visual novel, the combat element of this game is non-existent and there's so much switching between different areas. Would be so much better if they just focused on specific elements of the game instead of spreading it out trying to appeal to more people.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is the game worth £35? No. I got the game on offer for £5 and I am OK(ish) with that. Big fan of the anime. 7 hours in I am a bit bored. Money is pointless as there is only 3 weapons/armors available to buy (ever) and I am still spamming the same combo i figured in the first 30 mins of playing. Magic seems a bit of a waste just spam attack. Skill page extremlly poor / no imagination its literally +5% str, +10% str, +5% dex, +10% dex ect no double jump / extra spells or new attack combos just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They missed a great opportunity to create a very rich Action RPG. The way the game currently is, the Genre should be Cinematic, Hack and Slash, Dungeon Crawler. To make it a true RPG, the volume of work that still needs to be completed is surmountable. And this game should be treated as Early Access; as it only has the basic mechanics of a RPG. malachy_sunblade has a very detailed view of the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I kinda wish there was a neutral vote. I bought this game because I'm a fan of the anime and I own most of the manga that's been released in America, but honestly, that wasn't enough to push me over to the recommend side. The game itself functions, but I call BS on whoever said the XBox controller works just fine. It doesn't. I have two different XBox One controllers that work on every single other game I own that supports controllers, and while I will say that a couple of the buttons…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of the worst games i have ever played. i liked the light novel so i gave it a chance thinking "how bad can it be". but i was not prepared for this mess. - cluncky/bad combat. enemies in the endgame dungeons deal so much damage so you wanna kite them 1 by 1 to not take too much damage/none at all. which is not that hard to do but takes forever in a 10 level dungeon. - timed missions are no big deal - but WHY rush people through missions with a timer so they have to skip enemies if you make…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →waste of time and money cheap loveless animations + terrible fighting system + terrible keybinding the developers probably never watched the anime/manga i got it at 75% reduced price for 10 € to ask 40€ if its not on sale feel like a scam to me
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a trashy game, so I recommend you spend your time reading the novel or watching the anime instead.
