787 reviews
A solo-developer party idle RPG that opened Early Access three days ago with exactly three heroes, one boss, one roguelike dungeon mode called the Rift, and a developer who says outright that the price will keep climbing as content is added — reviewed against a build with zero Steam user reviews and a live player count in the single digits.
6 / 10
A 4-player co-op anime bullet heaven from Miki Games, built in Unreal Engine 5.5 and split across a roguelike Survival mode and a crystal-defending Defense mode — reviewed three days after launch against a store page with zero user reviews, no achievements defined and a character roster that doesn't quite match its own marketing copy.
6 / 10
A free-to-play incremental action RPG with zero monetisation and a genuinely likeable weapon-and-relic progression system, undercut by a fair, repeated complaint — this "idle" game leans so heavily on active clicking that its passive damage barely matters.
6 / 10
A mobile studio's first console-scale action RPG -- charming art, a satisfying weapon-combo system once it opens up, and a critical consensus that politely calls the whole thing forgettable.
6 / 10
An open-world action RPG about sand-surfing across a desert world with a sentient gauntlet, launched to "Forspoken 2.0" comparisons and a co-op bug so severe it became the single most-upvoted review the game has ever received — genuinely improved since by patches that recast a voice actor and reworked combat, though the co-op flaw was still being reported in 2025.
6 / 10
Game Freak's first new IP away from Pokémon is a striking-looking action RPG that launched two days ago to a Mixed score — and the negative reviews and the positive ones are, almost eerily, describing the same game.
6 / 10
An open-world "kung-fu fable" RPG about a mutant animal saving a post-apocalyptic world, announced in 2017 and delayed for years while its hype grew far ahead of what shipped -- Mixed on Steam, with a review pattern that's remarkably consistent about exactly where it falls apart.
6 / 10
A Kickstarter-backed, Hades-inspired real-time-with-pause tactical RPG whose combo-driven combat and dark academia art style earn genuine praise, undercut at launch by softlocking bugs, an unforgiving energy system, and dialogue-heavy base sections a real share of reviewers found hard to sit through.
6 / 10
A looter-shooter with genuinely well-regarded gunplay, undercut by severe, persistent PC performance problems and a real, extensively documented public-relations crisis in which Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford spent days publicly dismissing player complaints — telling PC gamers to "code your own engine" and that "premium games are made for premium gamers" — turning a technical problem into what press outlets have called "the great Pitchford Twitter crashout of 2025."
6 / 10
Andrew Gower's post-RuneScape MMO is a genuinely inventive skilling game trapped inside a world that emptied out within weeks of launch, and twenty months of steady patches still haven't fixed either problem.
6 / 10
A tactics-and-deckbuilding hybrid from Way of the Samurai developer ACQUIRE that launched with a genuinely broken design decision — one shared deck powering an entire mismatched squad — patched into something more coherent within days, though a premium price and additional paid character DLC still leave reviewers split on value.
6 / 10
A moody, RPG Maker-style psychological horror RPG about a man, a chainsaw and a city that stops being safe — with striking presentation and a real-time-interrupt combat twist, undercut by roughly an hour of Episode 1 content, scattered balance and a store page that's still openly asking players for feedback on "the demo."
6 / 10
A steampunk Darkest Dungeon-inspired tactical RPG whose gorgeous presentation and combat earn real praise, undercut by an irreversible, one-way progression path that repeatedly softlocks under-levelled players — a severe, specifically documented design flaw the developer never appears to have patched.
6 / 10
\"Anime Dark Souls\" with one of the genre's best character creators — and a co-op mode reviewers say quietly withholds story progression from the non-host player, a specific complaint distinct from the usual difficulty grumbling.
6 / 10
A Ukrainian studio's attempt to revive the 25-year-old Sea Dogs/Age of Pirates lineage is genuinely improving after two and a half years in Early Access — but its own achievement data shows most buyers still stop a few hours in.
6 / 10
Read review of Corsairs Legacy - Pirate Action RPG & Sea Battles
The formation-puzzle idle game that quietly wrote the rulebook Codename Entertainment later reused for Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms — still free, still playable, and frozen in place since its last update in April 2022.
6 / 10
A cheap, three-week-old Early Access idle RPG built around the Chinese xianxia cultivation fantasy — Qi Refining, spirit fields, forging flying swords — patched almost daily by its small studio, and still rough enough that its own early players are split on whether the grind serves the theme or just gets in its way.
6 / 10
A Kickstarter-funded "ratoidvania" whose hand-drawn animation draws near-unanimous praise from the same reviewers who call its combat sluggish and unfair. Two years of free post-launch updates, including a new survival mode, show a developer that kept listening — the controls just never fully caught up to the art.
6 / 10
A free-to-play action RPG that launched with a genuinely rare promise — no gacha for characters or weapons — and won real goodwill for it, before its own launcher distributed actual credential-stealing malware to players twice in the space of a month.
6 / 10
A charming, Zelda-inspired tower-defense dungeon crawler whose limited number of active turrets and shallow upgrade tree left the Kickstarter backers who waited years for it recommending it only reluctantly, if at all.
6 / 10
A licensed Dynasty Warriors mobile spin-off that quietly launched days ahead of its own announced date, bringing "one versus a thousand" musou combat to phones with a gacha hero system underneath. Early App Store reviews like the combat and distrust the monetisation's timing.
6 / 10
A Fallout-inspired isometric RPG with a genuinely excellent opening act — original setting, meaningful choices, sharp writing — that a remarkably consistent share of its own reviewers say collapses in quality once that first act ends.
6 / 10
A 2002 dual-campaign medieval action RPG from Starbreeze that lets players fight through the same conflict from the Light and Dark sides, whose combat draws some of the most extreme, directly opposed reactions of any review sample this session found — "satisfying and skill-based" to some, "the worst combat I have ever seen in an RPG" to others.
6 / 10
A 2018 Korean idle RPG that's still pulling a 4.3-star average from 153,000 Google Play reviews eight years on, built around a twelve-unit auto-battle roster and a genuinely layered guild-and-arena social game — undercut by a permanent roster cap, a bolted-on NFT feature, and a client that hasn't been updated since the studio's attention moved to its own sequel.
