Phantasmal City of Darkness Free Download |
Phantasmal: City of Darkness has a killer pitch. A procedurally
generated horror game that takes its inspiration from games like Silent Hill and
horror staples like the novels of H.P. Lovecraft, set in the extra super spooky
walled city of Kowloon. That sounds like a game that has something interesting
going on, something I really want to play.
Sadly, it isn't. Phantasmal squanders
its unique qualities with an embarrassing array of bugs, poor design choices,
and annoyances. It flat out does not feel like a finished product, despite
coming out of an extended Early Access development process. I don't think I've
had a more frustrating or less enjoyable time playing a game in years.
