Steamburg

  Steamburg is a game made by an video game artist, and I don't mean that in an abstract way. The game looks fantastic, sounds great and even has some very competent voice acting, but the gameplay/AI/everything to do with programming is quite terrible. Now it is playable and hasn't crashed on me but the movement or throwing stuff around(the only things you really do) are not what I would call competent let alone good. It is clunky as hell. Just to list a couple more things hitboxes feel…

  Nothing special really, simple puzzle game and mobile port. Feels very simplistic, slow and clunky. Visuals are ok but nothing special, 2d isometric graphics looks like made 10 years ago but what it is more important you can't be really sure if robot will see you if you stand around the corner or not. And on top of that that ale coulds, balloons and airships flying above everything and obscuring your view to the point you have to wait until they pass to play again, if game itself wasn't slow…

  Steamburg wouldn't be a bad game is it weren't for the sticky, sluggish controls! The character sticks to nothing, moves like a slug and it adds artificial difficulty to the game. It's just asinine of the developers not to make the game mechanics function better. As with too many indie titles, the controls ruin the game.

  So boring that I would rather spend time rearranging icons on my desktop. I enjoyed nothing about my brief time with this game. Bad art, bad music, bad gameplay. Slow and clunky. Feels like a bad tablet game.

  Awful title. Annoying background music (the volume slider is very badly designed), annoying tutorials and overall a boring experience. One screen puzzle platformer isometric "game" thingie.. no one should waste money on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVD2w0xLd30

  This is not really an adventure game, it's a puzzle game. I found it repetitious, with very bad controls, and a slow, dull story. The graphics are sort of interesting, and some of the flavor items found in the environment seem intriguing, but it all gels together into a terribly boring experience.

  Fun realtime puzzle game, AND Steampunk! Lead the mad inventor through the maze-like, one-screen districts of Steamburg, so that the evil robots are fried by Teslacoils. It has a better story than expected. controls well, has a nice soundtrack and is all in all a nice game. It's mobile origins are obvious, but don't matter much. I stopped playing, because it isn't my kind of game, and I got stuck in the western district, which enrages me, so I move on. But the first 30 minutes were pure puzzle…

  Steamburg is alright, but very average. The story is shoehorned in place to piece everything together and some of the puzzles are more frustrating than they need to be (because of pathing issues and bad AI), but overall it's not a bad game. The game is constantly on sale for about a dollar on various stores, so if you catch it cheap and it looks interesting then give it a go.

  Steamburg, developed by Telehorse and published by M.INDIE, is a steampunk puzzle-adventure that blends atmospheric storytelling with methodical, strategy-driven gameplay. Set in a city overrun by hostile mechanical constructs, the game follows Professor Vincent Cornelius Moore, a brilliant but physically vulnerable scientist who must navigate the ruins of Steamburg in search of his missing fiancée. Rather than presenting a traditional action-oriented experience, Steamburg builds its identity…

  I should have known better than to have got this game... by the store page it looked very interesting but also rather... chincy, but I wanted to give it a chance. I got it one sale for a dollar and that's the only reason I hadn't asked for a refund sooner; I can't imagine paying $10 for it I would have been so upset. I have tried to play it a few times but just got frustrated, and now I just want my dollar and six cents back and I never want to see this game again. It is a beautiful game…
