Super fun game with a lot of build variety.
PLAY IT!!!!
It's really good
Surprisingly deep in build variety, crafting, and viable builds. If you like to tinker with different builds and strategies, this might be for you!
FAN FUCKING TASTIC.
Buy it its fun.
great shit here
damn that game is good.

SLap me with a garlic buttered loaf and call me shirley if it aint a damn good ARPG.
ENnjoy the game.
#MuthaFuckinToodles
Lots of content and builds, exactly what I expected from this.
Extremely fun and addicting game <3
Awesome hack n slash game. Near perfect progression with the 3 basic classes, knight, archer and mage. Cant go wrong with either. End game is very good too.
I've got a fever and the only prescription, is more slorm.
Yes
Fun single player ARPG with tons of weapons and abilities!
OMG i think i haven't been here in years?? I"M SO GLAD THERE IS MORE CONTENT
Great game, so many possibilities for different builds that could all be fun, would recommend.
So. The game is fun as fuck.
However I checked out the minimum specs/recommended specs, and it seemed totally fine.
5-6 hours in, mage tower, game slows down to 7-10 fps.
Switched to 800x600, 13 fps.
I'm still recommending this game but really annoyed that I'm not allowed to refund the game, and the company should maybe change the recommended specs...
So good...call me when it's multiplayer.
My review is just like the tooltip of the Haphazard Knight.
TL;DR: Push Buttons Have Fun.
A whimsical and wacky D4/POE/Last Epoch. Was charmed by the writing, stayed for the sick loot.
Where the writing and story don't take itself seriously, the build crafting absolutely does. This game fills the looter ARPG niche I've desperately been craving, with none of the annoying Online Exclusive 60$ Cosmetic Battlepass FOMO Ultra ShitFart Deluxe Edition for 200$ and 4 days of EA stuff others do. You just pay and play.
Push buttons, stuff happens. Use a few braincells and a lot of stuff happens. Use a lot of braincells and dopamine slot machine is born.
Pros :
-Game has a ton of system you can spent one eternity grinding for .
-You can change your skills at any moment.
-Build variety
Cons:
-Level design is abysmal , all level are more or less 1 straight light in order to get to you destination with no alternative routes in order to reach it. You are basically on a track and just moving forward no player choice.
-Low enemy variety.
The aforementioned cons every up making a very very boring game design for me personally. Act 1 zones are basically the same as act 3 zones . The only difference is length of the map , no real introduction of any new mechanics.
This was a pretty bad time. I know I only gave it 22 minutes, but I only needed 22 minutes.
I started the game with one mediocre spell, a magic missile kinda thing, pew pew.
It killed skeletons in 3-4 hits. When I gained a few levels it was faster.
I gained a second spell after killing about 30-40 skeletons. Excited to finally press another button, to finally have some game play, something, with which I can take out skeletons in, what I hoped would be 2 hits! This powerful new spell, gained by killing an army of skeletons was.... worse.... Much worse.... it was really bad.
Think the ray of disintegration in Diablo 3. But instead of doing a huge amount of damage in a ray in front of you, it does a tiny amount of damage.
I couldn't move around to avoid the skeletons hitting me, I just had this second rubbish spell.
Would it get better if I levelled? Probably.... but would it be fun to do that, with only the first left click spell in the game? No. It would not be a fun time.
The game is trying to go for humorous rather than anything else and honestly I'm tired of that, but this is a me problem. Maybe you'll enjoy silly humour and bad jokes... I prefer things to be at least a little serious.
I'm still not sure what a Slorm is, far as I can work out it's experience points, so, experience mancer? Either way, it wasn't the delicious slug piss beverage from Futurama.(Slurm)
The character models do not change with armour or anything... disappointing, but expected. It's an indie game with sprites. I just really didn't like how the mage looked. I probably should have chosen another class, but despite being told I would be able to do that, I couldn't work out how to do that. I assume it's unlocked later, and I really didn't fancy replaying the start of the game.
Honestly, I recommend against this game because I didn't like it. This is an extremely biased review. Because it is MY review.
Maybe you'll enjoy it, then by all means, you should play it. But I won't be recommending this to anyone.
I looked online and from what I can tell, this is yet another game that focuses on the end game. That seems to be the main excuse for the levelling to be a bad time. Early to mid game is going to be boring, because it's all about the grind to end game.
And this game is most certainly a grind. There are other reviews with over hundreds of hours to find out they didn't like it. (I don't want to brag, but I only needed 22 minutes. That's 99 hours and 38 minutes faster. Should be a record or something.)
If the game takes hours to get good, then the game is not good. You want the entry to your game to be as good a time as the exit. Give me a reason to keep playing. Give me a taste of what's to come, because maybe I'll get to "the fun bit" and hate that too.
But most importantly, if it takes many hours to become fun, then that's many hours of... what? Not fun? Why would I spend hours of my free time doing something that isn't fun?
Finally, I looked online about other classes. The mage is apparently the best choice for early game. Which is discouraging.
Then the archer and finally the warrior, who tends to die quite easily.
My suggestions for the devs? Add a bit more character customisation, even if it's just recolouring your character, it would've helped a lot. (I hate blue) I don't feel any like for these characters, maybe that comes later, after many hours...
Do what you can to make early game interesting, or give a taster of what late game is like. Find out what people like about late game and see why they hate early game.
Why does early game feel like a grind? Some games are mega grindy, but still fun. If the early game sucks, make it faster. Much faster. Clearly people don't enjoy playing it. Don't make people EARN the fun part, it's a game, it should all be fun. It shouldn't be work.
Unfortunately I don't have many suggestions. Most of my experience with the game is googling stuff about it. My play of it was very short. I need to keep it short to get a refund and from what I'm seeing online, 22 minutes is basically the same as 2 hours, people say it's too short a time after 70 hours. I don't have 70 hours to spare finding out if a game is worth playing or not. That's silly. Sillier than the games jokes.
I usually have a gameplay video with my reviews, but I was watching Deep Space 9 and didn't feel like pausing it.
But thanks for reading my review... or for skipping to the end.
Have a lovely day.
pretty good game ruined by proxy shields
some systems feel not well thought out like the whole ancestral legacy, ultimatums etc.
One of the better ARPGs, up there with Torchlight or Chronicon for me
This is an excellent indie single-player ARPG! It has a lot of unique mechanics which make for some interesting character building. It''s also very fun and has a lot of room for character progression and grinding in the end game. The devs have consistently involved the community through early access, and many changes are the result of player feedback. Definitely worth a pick up, imo!
This game so far is a hidden gem.
Pros:
-It has build diversity, but at the same time creating builds doesn't require a master's in engineering a la Path of Exile.
-There is a fairly large amount of content for the money. All things considered if you enjoy the gameplay loop here you could get hundreds of hours
-There are really very few bugs. I have almost 80 hours and haven't come across anything game-breaking, or even anything super annoying tbh.
-Lots of QoL for this type of game. Plentiful storage space, auto pick up of mats, etc. Sounds inane but at least you don't have to click to pick up orbs of transmutations or scrolls of wisdom and can just run over them.
-Opening your skills/passives/inventory/etc pauses the game. Fuck me but being a dad gamer and adult in general, shit happens mid game where I need to pause, and I will die on this hill that this is a huge positive.
-Controls are responsive. Theres a fair bit of bullet hell and dodging, aiming, etc, but if I died its usually cause I suck not because of the controls.
Cons:
-Visuals. I get the game is low res but there is a severe lack of visual progression of your character. Adam Nostrus (an NPC that collects items) can put on multiple hats, and scarves, and whatever else we give him but our characters' wardrobes never change. I feel this is a huge part of feeling your guy get stronger, not sure why this aspect was completely ignored (outside of your slorm reaper, which has their own unique aesthetic).
-Visuals, cont'd. You collect so many different slorm materials, and they all automatically home in on your character, its hard to differentiate those harmless mat gathering vs. an enemy's projectile attack. I don't think we need the graphical zoom of slorm being sucked up, just put a little "+xyz Slorm" above our heads and call it a day.
-While build creation is also a positive, I feel there is a little bit too much going on from the onset. Very early on you get the choice of picking certain skills / powers, but most of them are based on effects that you have no idea how they work or how to proc them, and there's little to no explanation (Inner fire? ravenous dagger? Overdrive? you won't know what any of that means or how to implement it until 10 hours /played time later). Later on as you learn the game this becomes a non-issue.
-Minor gripe, but from a worldbuilding aspect, the whole "everything in this game is RPG satire" wears a bit thin after not that long
Conclusion:
This game has a huge amount of depth and systems that if you enjoy single player ARPGs of the Diablo/PoE variety, you could get some incredible value out of it. Despite the cons listed here, which I think are all fixable, this game deserves way more players than the ~150 daily peak they are currently getting. But I think that is also a side effect of the amount of time in EA, so we'll see. Hopefully they get a big surge for 1.0!
You like grinding?
You like collecting?
You like stats?
You like having a large amount of variation in builds?
Then this is the perfect game for you!
Great ARPG with lots of content and pleasant grind. Easily a game that can be played for hundreds of hours
yes
Solid ARPG! Kind of a hidden gem
Worth the money and fun
A Great Experience with Room for Improvement
After 88.3 hours of gameplay, I can confidently say this game is well worth its price of 19,99 €. The developers have consistently provided updates, avoiding the trap of rushing out a half-baked product like some other companies (*cough* Ubisoft). The game feels polished overall, but there are areas that could use a little fine-tuning.
The Huntress: A Perfect Balance
The Huntress is hands-down the most fun character in the game. Her abilities are balanced in a way that makes her a blast to play, and she should not, under any circumstances, be nerfed. She offers the kind of experience that every player wants — fast-paced, tactical, and rewarding. If you're looking for a main character, look no further.
Melee Needs a Buff
On the flip side, melee characters could use some love. Right now, they feel a bit masochistic to play. If the intention was to make them into an Elden Ring 2.0 experience, that's fine, but please give players a heads-up before they dive in. A slight buff to melee combat would go a long way, making it less of a grind and more of a strategic option. Mage characters could also use a minor boost, but nothing drastic.
Fair Pricing and Active Development
At this price point of 19,99 €, the game is a fantastic deal. The developers have been diligent in bringing consistent updates, and it shows. This isn’t just another cash-grab game; there’s real passion behind it. While it may not be perfect, it's constantly evolving, and that gives me confidence in its future.
Evaluation Breakdown
- **Gameplay (8/10):** Core mechanics are fun, especially with the Huntress. However, melee feels like a grind and could use some balancing.
- **Character Balance (7.5/10):** The Huntress is perfect, but other characters, especially melee and mages, are less enjoyable.
- **Updates & Support (9/10):** Regular updates and no sign of the developers abandoning the game — a huge plus.
- **Price (9/10):** At 19,99 €, the price is more than fair for the amount of content and fun offered.
- **Replayability (7/10):** Fun with certain characters, but replayability might suffer with others due to balance issues.
Verdict
If you're into action RPGs, this game is a must-try. Sure, there are some balance issues, but the core gameplay is solid, and the fun you can have with the Huntress alone makes it worth the buy. Just be prepared for a bit of a challenge if you opt for melee. I’d give it a **7.8/10** — a fair, well-rounded score considering both the highs and the minor frustrations.

Between punchy dialogue, massive build diversity and dopamine inducing explosions, this arpg kills it. :)
A very mixed review, but it would be unfair to make it a purely negative one.
Positive:
- Great soundtrack
- Humor
- Lots of options in game-settings
- Lots of items to be found and tinker with
- Nice artstyle
What could better?
- Area's are pretty basic and aren't really engaging. It's the same square tileset over and over again.
- There's no character customisation, pretty dissapointing when you have to invest so many hours.
- Only 3 classes so far.
Playing through the campaign, I suddenly hit a brick wall at the final boss.
Appearantly I suddenly have to grind all sorts of currency and accomplishments in order to even try to fight the final boss. This feels very forced and made me quit the game for now.
Even after years of development The Slormancer feels more like a testing-ground for an idea than an actual complete game. The individual parts are pretty fun, but there's a lack of cohesion.
The only thing I'd want is coop
Fun addictive theory crafting arpg Slormancer DUBIDUBIDUBA is happy.
Has everything you would expect from a good game and more.
Good update; good game.
Nice game, lot's of mechanics and in depth hero customisation for this price.
0.8 - was a bit sluggish regarding progression, but 0.9 fixed it!
Recommend for any diablo fun.
Crackin'
More fun that Diablo IV.
goodjob!!!
In over 10 years on Steam, I've never once asked support to delete a game from my account—until now.
This game is a textbook example of "Having fun? Nerf it!" They claim each class has 120 unique weapons, but in reality, it's just the same weapons with identical stats across swords, bows, and staffs.
The developers intentionally nerf everything just to drag out the experience, making sure no one finishes this lackluster game too quickly. The game has almost no real content, hiding what little there is behind ridiculous quests like "complete 100 waves in a row" or "kill the boss 30 times." And that's not even the worst part.
After all the grinding and frustration, when you finally face off against Adam Nostrus (or whatever that lame name is), the boss turns out to be just a damage sponge with massive AoE attacks, clearly designed to drag out the endgame even further.
Oh, and did I mention that after almost 3 years in Early Access, the game is still riddled with bugs and terrible language localization? And now, in a few days, they plan to release version 1.0, hike the price, and pretend it's a finished game.
Honestly, I didn’t mind spending a few bucks on this mess, but I feel the need to warn others—this is not the game you're hoping for. Especially the "120 unique weapons" claim that totally fooled me. I will never, ever buy anything from this studio again.
me likeee
Super casual bullet hell mixed with ARPG elements. Brings back memories of Maplestory grinding, in a good way. Devs really care about the game. Get it now before price increase you won't regret. :)
