Описание



Wraithslayer takes place in an abstract horror world where the player is bound to a single fight against a monstrosity known as a Wraith. Dodging the Wraith's relentless attacks while collecting orbs to weaken your foe will provide a nightmarish and challenging battle.

  • Simple controls. There's only jump, dash, and dive. You'll have to be creative with your movement if you want to defeat the Wraith.
  • Randomly generated attacks. The Wraith randomly picks from a wide array of moves to demolish you, making each fight very different.
  • Dark silhouette art style. Explore the many ways you can die through the pulsating darkness of the Wraith and its lair.
  • Multiple Game Modes. Normal, Endless, and True Wraith game modes provide varying levels of difficulty and high replayability.

(TLDR at the end)
Thought I'd write a review since I just got the record for endless mode, and can proudly say I'm first to hit 100 in endless mode (108).
Well needless to say I very much enjoy the game, it's very good to kill a bit of time, although I usually find myself playing it for extended periods of time. It's one of the few games that I haven't gotten tired of and don't see myself getting tired of.

Concept/Story


Fairly simple concept, there are bits of story that you unlock as you get achievements, for those who enjoy plot.

Price


I would say it's well priced, since the content is limited compared to more expensive games. There's 3 game modes: Wraith (normal mode), True Wraith (hard mode), and Endless.

Mechanics


As someone mentioned, you can beat the game pretty fast. Beating it isn't all that difficult as you learn to navigate with Up-Down-Left-Right, but getting a good run does require skill, consistency and luck. Speaking of which, personally one negative about the speedrunning aspect is that I see this game as easy to learn hard to master, but you don't really need to be a master to get a really good run. So it comes down a lot to luck, especially when speedrunning True Wraith. I would say consistency and attention to detail is the hardest part about this game. As for the people who were saying that the controls are weird/imprecise/bad, it's definitely something you get used to. I would argue that with the given controls, upon learning them, you can move very very precisely (You can often graze obstacles with confidence because they either have your speed or go slower).

Glitches


I've found maybe 4 - 5 glitches total in my time of playing this game, and I wouldn't say any of them are experience ruining nor game breaking, and some could be argued to not be glitches at all. Overall, you won't come across them often, very well made 👍.

Improvements


1. I really wish you could skip the end screen. When speedrunning I keep track of the time and if I see it's not a record I just die before the last attack because it's literally faster to restart the game rather than wait for the end screen to finish.
2. Would love for there to be an option to hide the counter in endless mode. Only reason I was able to get the record is because I kept gaslighting myself into believing I wasn't that high up and forced myself to not look at my score, otherwise I choke (choked at 49 hits 3 times before I hit 50 hits).
3. Also for endless, it would be cool if we still saw the time that it took to get a specific run, so people could compete for consistency by checking fastest to get 50 or something along those lines.
4. A bit ambitious, but a sandbox mode would be lit. Like it wouldn't count to the leaderboards and you could see how fast you can complete 9 hits without obstacles, and other stuff (could implement lots and lots of things).

Overall/TLDR


Very good, would recommend, priced nicely, nice small story/concept, precise movement, easy to learn hard to master, little to no glitches.

Pretty fun, very difficult. Wish there was a separate key for the attack on the wraith, sometimes the dash doesn't trigger properly. Also sometimes the respawn invincibility is too short and you can't prevent dying. Overall though it's a fun game, I like to play it while I listen to podcasts until I get too frustrated and rage quit.

Almost a good game.

My main issues...

-I beat the initial boss in 15 minutes, and then reached the final phase of the "true" boss 7 minutes after that. So it is totally possible for someone to beat this game within 20 minutes of buying it, which is a pretty small amount of content for 5$.

-The games movement mechanics do not allow you to be as precise as it sometimes requires you to be. This results in the game feeling very luck based because you can get put in positions where there is literally nothing you could have done to survive. You can only dash, there is no way to do small incremental movements, so there are many situations where dashing in any direction will kill you because of the fixed distance you are forced to move.

-Going fast enough and getting lucky patterns often times trivializes the game. If you are quick enough grabbing the orbs you can basically burn down the different phases so fast that you only see 1-2 attack patterns per phase. This ends up making the entire game feel like a lottery. Either you get lucky with orb spawn locations and attack patterns and its pretty easy, or you get unlucky and it just feels very unfair by comparison. There is no middle ground.

-The 1 hit death mechanic is not fun when paired with so much RNG. The fights should be extended and you should be given 2-3 hearts. This will give you a chance to negate the occasional unnavoidable death as well as extend playtime.

Straightforward, addicting boss-rush, die-if-you-get-hit-once gameplay. The desire to play "one more round" is through the roof! And the movement somehow feels unique and fun! Getting in the zone with this game feels amazing! And very souls-like in the way that you win by getting better and learning patterns, and a tiny bit of luck in how and when those patterns come out at times. Highly recommended!

Very fun. It's a mix of skill and luck. Well designed game, good concept. Hard.

Be prepared for some bugs, as sometimes you can collect all needed items (orbs??) and it won't attack, instead just throwing you into the wraith and killing you.

fun, but there are some things that ruin it.
1. controls are funky as hell. you have to repeatedly press the button in one direction and you're affected by gravity, which makes it hard to dodge attacks
2. attack patterns are random and completely unpredictable. you can't memorize any attack patterns, so every run is RNG based

When ever i play this game it feels like my ears are children in a burning orphanage. The gameplay is fine i like the idea but the music is so loud i can hear every mother in the world telling me to turn it down. They should add lootboxes in wraithslayer so i can have a duck head. They should add a battle royal where you can build to protect yourself i dont think any other game could do that. Im just mad that my wizard101 wont work on my mac. Mac sucks dick and balls i hate my mom for giving my other computer viruses so now i have to use this monstrosity. Great, fun game. Good for wasting time while waiting for something, or just playing when bored. One, and the only problem I've had with this game is the audio setting. Music Volume is bugged so you can't change it, which makes it extremely hard to hear my friends over discord while playing this game. Besides that, the art and mechanics feel great. I highly recommend this game.

Game is really fair & fun.

Even though everything one-hits you, each attack, when it appears, has a small window of time when it does not damage you. You can see this when the projectile is blinking. There are only three bosses, so you can learn to dodge each and every attack pretty quickly. In True Wraith mode, the attacks are just the same but with a few more projectiles.

Though there are certain situations where you are guaranteed to die (i.e multiple attacks in different directions), it's because of your previous actions that led you to that situation (could have dodged certain projectiles earlier).

What's important, though, is to make sure to notice each and every attack as there are signs of each attack before they actually damage you. No attack comes 'out of nowhere'.

Well, it´s simple, but it isn´t. One room, one life, you, the boss and W A S D. It´s challenging and quick, without any loading screens. There are a few extra challange modes to be unlocked by getting better. It has really good pixel-graphics, doesn´t take you that much memory and the price is also in a good balance. The soundtrack is perfectly fitting and doesn´t get boring over time. A nice game you can often come back to!

Here also some things for people, who instead don´t want to play blind.

I know the wall looks cool right? You know what it is too? ... Hungry, be a smart guy and don´t feed it.

When you hit the boss, you dash through him from a larger distance (also objects) and also you are invincible for roughly 3 seconds. But the boss is like Medusa. If you touch her hair, you´re dead.

You see the two worms at the bottom? One of them is shaking. That one will throw a little ball at you. Nothing special, but I died because of it often enough!

Swords ... can be ignored, can be a shield or can be a jail, it´s up to you! They become solid, when hitting a wall and then won´t damage you any more, but lasers, other swords and solids passing things still go through them. So you can use them as a shield from normal things or as an additional ground while waiting for something.

Patience can be a lifesaver!

This game is a boss rush with some interesting movement that consists of only dashes in the cardinal directions. The only thing I can see negative about the controls is that your left and right dashes seem to be slightly slower than your up and down. Other than that, this controls very well. I will say that it took a couple minutes to feel completely comfortable with the movement, but that is to be expected with a new game that has non-standard movement.

For the bosses, there are 3 different ones that need to be hit 3 times each for a total of 9 attacks. You attack by collecting 3 colored "things" (for lack of a better term) and dashing into the boss. You know when you have all 3 when you are glowing. Each boss has their own set of attacks they use in a random order, and of course as the later the boss the harder it becomes. After playing through normal mode, which is difficult enough, you unlock hard mode. Hard mode doesn't do too much different in terms of attacks, just increases the amount of attacks at once. For example the first boss has an attack where he sends out a laser that shoots twice while turning slowly, and the hard mode variant is just two lasers in different spots, they still shoot twice and turn, it's just that there's two of them instead of one. That isn't to say that hard mode is only slightly more difficult than normal. It's still much harder and while I feel that more interesting new attacks would make hard mode more interesting, the nature of the attacks makes for a very interesting game already.

This game is also very short. Which seems to be par for the course with difficult games. I've beaten the first boss within 15 seconds, and beating the final boss can be done in less than a minute and a half. The catch to this is that you die in one hit, I've had plenty of runs that lasted 5-10 seconds, and the game doesn't penalize you much for dying. You get a death screen that says "YOU ARE NOT READY" and 3 seconds after your death you've started another run. I never felt like I was rushing to get another run started cause the game wouldn't hurry up with loading/arbitrary wait times like some other games have. Also, a very small detail that I absolutely appreciate is that when you lose on hard, the main menu keeps you on hard so you don't accidentally start another run on normal while trying to get back into it quickly. Also, with such a short game there is a lot of replay value as it does save your times and you can enable a clock that will show non-intrusively in the bottom left corner, and even dying on the final boss doesn't feel like too much of a setback because it'll will only take a minute to get back there.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes high precision platformers, like Running Hell in Cave Story, intense boss fights, bullet hells, and or fast paced games. Very glad I found this game with Steam's new search feature, well worth the time spent and time that will be spent playing this game.

Sean's new approach of having someone else make the damn game while he sticks to art has paid off here. This is a fun little title and well worth the $5 asking price.

It's short, but fun. OST is nice, but it's just the one track. Fits it well.

You get the three bosses you see in the trailer, and you have to collect 3 little orbs around the small map while dodging a ridiculous stream of attacks. Once you get three orbs, go in for a dash attack. Do this three times to kill a wraith. Kill three wraiths to win.

Was hoping Lenny would guest star as a wraith so I could finally kill him. Didn't happen. *shrug*

A shot but challenging game in which your only goal is to kill a boss by hitting him 9 times, a fight that will last at most 2 minutes. Simple? Yes. Easy? Far from it. Think Undertale final boss fight with Sans only the attacks are random and have no pattern.

I played wraithslayer at PAX East a few days ago and after hearing that it was a mere $5 there was no way I wasn't getting it. After about an hour total of attempts at PAX I came very close to defeating the wraith on the easiest difficulty, however I only ever made it to the final 3 hits about 5 times overall. A very challenging game that has the ability to get your heart racing as you get closer and closer to your goal.

Adding in the time from PAX I managed to get all achievements in around 4 hours, and have almost hit 20 on endless mode which I intend to continue playing to see how far I can get. Well worth the $5!

very good, I've only played a bit so far, i thought it was easy... but then the second form came

you get 1 shot, the boss can easily kill, cause its like a bullet hell.

I open this game when I want to kill a few minutes and then I look at my clock and realize that I've been playing for 3 hours.

Dashing around and dodging bullets trying to get faster times and a better score, thinking I should take a break but then convincing myself to try just one more time. If this was a game at an arcade I would feed it quarters for days.

A solid 10/10 from me, looking forward to anything new they might add to this gem.

The game is very good itslef, but it has some problems.

1. Luckyness. If the boss wants to kill you in 0.3 seconds, it'lll use the hadest attacks, or just use an easy to evade one. I trying to say that in the same phase, the attacks are not balanced.
2. Glitches. I know it's in early acces, but, i gave to point them out, sometimes if i dash throught the boss with my attack ready, i'll do nothing and I would die.

But, the game is amazing, the soundtrack is astonishing and the artwork is a masterpiece.
Hope to see new updates

Wraithslayer is an interesting take on the twitch-style arena shooter genre. Like most titles in this niche space (ie. Akane or Tormentor X Punisher), the experience is small, yet potent. The price-point pretty much says it all. If you are compelled to really put your skills to the test, you'll likely get a lot of mileage out of games like this. At this point, I'll buy anything Sean Young is involved in because the projects are always outside-the-box thinking with a more-than-fair asking price. This is no exception.

Essentially, this is a single screen bullet hell dodge-em-up with one central boss. You need to collect three 'orbs' and then you can use your body to hurt the boss. Three hits moves you on to the next phase. You die in one hit. The store page boasts 'procgen AI/boss battles', but unless I'm missing something, that is a bit misleading. I haven't found anything 'procgen'. I have found that there is a pool of boss attacks, and what order you get them in seems to be random. Other than that everything is pretty much the same, and that's fine. At first the movement system is super awkward, but after about 30 minutes I was getting much more dexterous with it. The whole thing is fun in a one-more-run kind of way.

Pros:
+Fresh take on the twitch-style arena games
+The price-point is more than fair
+The artwork and music is nice

Meh:
=The lore fragments are neat, but the story really doesn't feel like it fits the setting

Cons:
-No pause button, and I can't justify that here
-I think the term 'procgen' is misleading on the store page
-Your mileage really will vary depending on how compelled you are to play this style of game
-This is a neat idea that really could have been expanded into a more fuller experience

Wraithslayer is a neat and original indie game experience. Worth full price.

This game is impressive despite being in early access with little to do. But when this game gets more content and more exposure I can imagine how many people would play this game and enjoy it (under assumption people like to play these types of games) but I do enjoy this game although difficult it is a fun in aspects of it being a dodging game with a simple objective.

Amazing. The soundtrack is amazing and the controls are really easy to pick up. The mechanics are easy to grasp and after a few runs I'm just hooked! For those that played Roguelands or Magicite and were addicted to the dash mechanic, like myself, and wanted more than this game is perfect for scratching that itch. If you have some pocket change, I highly recommend you try this game out!
