39 of 39 · most liked firstA good effort with a cool setting, but boring bossrush + corridor-collectathon gameplay. Pros: - Interesting story. You're the leader of an Nigerian special forces unit hunting Boko Haram but fall into a maze system with African Yoruba legends you must defeat to escape. - Nigerian voice actors. They do a great job. - Graphics are nice. Although animations are a little stiff the overall graphical fidelity is high. - You get a cool explode-y light gun. Cons: - Boss fight with poor intermittent…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent game, finished it below 5 hours, the combat is fine, the puzzles are fine, there's a lot of text especially in the beginning so I recommend just skipping all that, the voice acting is horrendous just people plainly reading their text 😂 and some translations for the riddles I think went wrong? The controls can't be changed which is inconvenient since i'm left handed so i'm forced to use WASD, but I enjoyed the game, definitely get it for cheap, it's not high quality but it's enjoyable
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Outliver is a souls-like third-person shooter with some horror elements. Your main objective is to defeat the four guardians and solve occasional puzzles in between. The core loop is fetching the right orbs and putting them in the right place to unlock the next area and so on. The combat isn’t too deep; you simply dodge and shoot, and use the charms and explosive barrels to your advantage. Sadly, there’s not much variety in the weapons arsenal; you only have an AK and an Elder gun that can…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Competant controls, looks nice visually except it doesn't because it's just a bunch of the same hallways, keys and doors. It's not an immersive world to get lost in.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's alright. I like what it was going for but there were a few bugs that ruined my hard/no save run which was quite annoying. Then another bug happened with a camera shift that never went back behind the character. The game also doesn't run that well on older machines even on lower settings. Enemies have a nasty tendency of teleporting behind or near you. The voice acting is pretty terrible too (not in the accent but the delivery). With all the cons, it's a wonder why I'm still giving it a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dev's implemented an invert Y-axis on request. Always a big thumbs up for responsive dev's! As for the game.... Its clearly low-budget, a bit rough, and amateurish, but its not low-effort trash. It has a lot of heart to it, and seems to be tapping into a mythology seldom explored in games. That's kinda neat. Gameplay is kinda ho-hum and repetitive, but not frustrating. Defeat 4 bosses, to open up 4 areas, then do a bunch of back-and-forth fetch stuff, and some basic puzzle rooms, to open up…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me start by saying i'm so shocked at how good this game is. What caught my attention was the introduction of the "African Mythology" which is something I have never heard of. And as a lore-hungry souls player I fell in love what the story of the fallen kingdom and how it lead to the events of the game. Really enjoyable stuff. Like other reviews said, the dialogue and voice acting isn't that much, the assets are reused throughout the whole game (but it looks good so no problem) My critique…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very fun combat focused survival horror/shooter with an unique setting of African culture Beginning few minutes are a bit slow but after that the game is great. Very fun mix of fighting, exploration and occasional puzzles. You will traverse ancient ruins while enemies called Wanderers will attack You. Explore, find key items and face challenging boss fights. Combat is the focus here and It's very solid. You'll have to dodge and react to enemy's attacks, and be smart with how You approach…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game based of African mythology - i found this unusual and interesting. Game with element of horror and puzzles + with lore. So far i dont have any problems with game, gl in futures project.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →saw this game a while back when i was digging for more third person soulslike shooters and found this one. saw it for under $3, so i figured i'd cop it for a go. short and sweet, tbh i didn't find it nearly as difficult as any other soulslike shooters but it was challenging in some aspects. i liked the wanderers portion because it kept you on egde while doing puzzles and gathering more orbs. definitely a good aspect to keep you on the egde. the puzzles were decent, gameplay was basic but fun…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is scary as hell. I had at least three jump scares in like two minutes. Hope GBROSSOFT keeps making more games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 2 hours I have a picture of Outliver Tribulation The gameplay is about exploring the ruins of an ancient civilization. You a a soldier who meet a mysterious keeper who put you trials which is figthing legendaty characters of that civilization. It was a refreshing story since I like mythology and culture. The voice acting was not striking but it was appreciated. The puzzles were of moderate difficulty and those Wanderers were annoying but not that much. Somehow I keep dying of a electric…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little game which I actually hope will develop in a larger story. While the acting isn't it's forte, the story is actually interesting. Game-play wise it's quite balanced, a bit annoying with the charms controls as you're not sure which one is actually in use, but the rest it's simple and intuitive, had fun playing it. Not much to say about variety as it's not a big game but I like the idea, it's well executed. No performance issues is always a plus in my book. Keep up the good work and I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Visual Feast and an Engaging Experience - "Tribulation" Review Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) "Tribulation" is a remarkable game that left me captivated from the very start. From its stunning graphics to its engaging game play, this title truly delivers an exceptional gaming experience that I won't soon forget. The first thing that struck me was the visual design of "Tribulation." The developers have poured their heart and soul into creating a world that feels both beautiful and immersive. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →不錯玩，劇情還蠻有意思的，戰鬥系統普普通通，小怪總類有點少，好像才5種而已，還有我不喜歡一直要開夜視鏡的設定，希望會有續做，因為我很好奇故事後續的發展。
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short game, but an overall nice experience. Liked the bits of african mythology since i knew nothing about them and it was cool to see and read about. Also zero problems with performance, even if the game feels heavy at times with the default ultra settings. Last but not least, the people behind the game are awesome ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/R05okcaUY3A Constant backtracking with an low detail map to collect various colored gumballs is not a generally compelling gameplay loop.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Alright. So, I've played enough of this to say that it works and that it is somewhat enjoyable. Outliver's gameplay is unique, combining dungeon crawling, souls like, treasure hunting all in one package that clearly took effort. Weapons need an empty chime. I would personally prefer the lead to not smile while being attacked by demons. Hopefully the level format changes because I could easily see the game getting repetitive. Also, the music cheapens the experience. Ambience alone would have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For an Indie souls-like, this is a decent attempt at emulating the formula. The bosses tend to be very forgiving, but the atmosphere in the hallway sections during blackouts helps keep the tension up fairly well. Not a fan of the lore dumps completely in text, but I can't really expect an indie team to spend the time and resources to integrate that better into the game when there are more important things to address. All in all, a nice little bosh rush-ish souls game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. I like that the game is more about fighting a small number of strong mobs rather than fighting many at once. I do wish the puzzles had more variety instead of all being riddles, but they are fine nonetheless. Also, I wish we didn't have to stay in night vision mode for like 90% of the time - it seems kind of arbitrary that it is required, and I feel like the game would look so much better in full color.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The combat and story are decent but the gameplay loop becomes repetitive very quickly. Not much in terms of enemy variety but since it's a short game, that was not a problem for me. Leaving a positive review because I think it's very worth to pick it up on sale, I had fun and it was made with passion by a small indie team.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's basically a Souls-like shooter. It's worth playing if you enjoy souls-likes, which I don't. A shooter becoming a souls-like is like a shooter evolving in reverse and that applies to most genres of games that implement dark souls mechanics. Unfortunately I live in a world where people actually like games that have evolved in reverse, they like souls-likes. That's the only reason I recommend it outside of it being a functioning single player game with no microtransactions or drm. I'm done…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is this really a game? Looks like a half baked student project or a promo prototype of a game that should be given for free. I understand that it's one-man project, but it does not mean that it can't be a quality project. Just look at Vladik Brital for a change. Seriously, you can't charge money for this "product".

unlabelledView post →As a souls-like game lover, I definitely enjoyed playing this game a lot. I got familiar with this game first on Epic Games. Although I played the game on normal difficulty to understand the game story more, but liked the game so much that I bought the game key for steam also. Loved the story, spooky atmosphere, puzzle design and exploration. Moreover the shooting mechanic really gives a upper hand on the boss fights. The framerate might give challenges sometimes to adjust. But overall…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Summary Category Perception Level design Somewhat confusing and plain looking Art Looks like a puzzle adventure game from 2009, which isn't a bad thing if you're into games from that era Sound design Boring music that keeps playing on a very short loop. Beeping soundeffects when you're missing an item or for other reasons can't progress breaks the immersion, as it doesn't fit the overall theme…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overwhelming negative review. This game won't even open for me anymore. Clearly needs some finetuning or something because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I'm not putting up with this garbage. Avoid like the plague.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a neat little game, yes the voice acting is pretty bad, it's not very challenging, the story and the combat are basic but it all fits together rather well. Yoruba stories are really rare in games as are african themed environments, I would like to see more games like this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Jagged and uneven mechanics ! Needs a lot of improvement ! Similar to Tomb Raider ! Nice otherwise !
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some games strive due to an addictive loop structure Outliver isn't one of those games
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completed the game within 4hrs, was fun ngl. however the combat was good but boss fights were predictable (I had fun tho) the only thing which needs improvement is the voice acting, otherwise its worth it :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's pretty boring, combat is bland and story is somewhat not really enticing
