The release of action-RPG Bleak Faith: Forsaken was a flop. The game has mixed reviews on Steam, with players criticizing technical issues and a poor combat system.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken, an action RPG from Archangel Studios, was released yesterday. The game looked promising in the videos and a lot of people were waiting for it (over 20,000 players had it on their wishlist). Unfortunately, everything indicates that the project did not meet expectations.
- On Steam, only 58% of reviews praise sinister faith which is qualified as “mixed” reception.
- Players complain of technical issues and underdeveloped controls, which don’t feel like they have full control over the protagonist. The combat system is also criticized, in which turns and other dodging are practically useless.
- Praise the environment and the graphics.
- Many actors express the opinion that Shadow Faith: Forsaken It has a lot of potential, but the game came out too soon..
- Of course, it must be taken into account that the game was developed by a team of just three people, so the fact that it’s raw shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. The question is whether such a small studio should have taken on such a massive project in the first place. Alternatively, otherwise you would have had to release it in Early Access.
It’s also worth mentioning the popularity of the game. Yesterday, at the height of launch day, Bleak Faith: Forsaken was played by 1,793 people on Steam, which is a good result for such a small team project.
Interest in the game prior to its launch was high and the developers clearly did not meet the expectations of the players. Beneath all of these issues, however, seems like a good match. So it all depends on whether the developers will be able to fix the most serious issues in their creation, or if it will end up being another promising title that failed to live up to its potential.
