This is a bizarre game. It has a truly hand-crafted feel of someone who had complete or near-complete creative freedom, and all the good and bad that comes with it.
In truth, I very nearly didn't realize how to interact with objects in the game and almost gave up out of frustration. One could argue that I am spoiled on modern game design, but while there is surely some wisdom in that argument, certain things became staples and conventions of gaming for a reason. Song of the Myrne does a terrible job of identifying what items you can interact with or pointing out what is actually the inventory of the object you've touched (I had mistaken my inventory for the inventory of the object I was searching and spent several minutes just trying to figure out how to interact normally). But to its credit, everything here is truly bespoke. After I recovered from my initial bout of foolishness, I quickly started to get used to thinking in the way that the game was designed, and could see the logic to each part of the game, even if a lot of it is pretty irregular by normal design standards.
Still, the game is bizarre. Characters are nonsensical beyond simply having whimsical personalities. Writing is weak, very weak. There is no satisfaction to be had in the conclusion. I didn't feel accomplished, I didn't laugh, I didn't even get a smirk out of it. I was happy I beat the game, but the attempts at ending reveals fell 100% flat for me. Despite this, several of the tracks used in the game near the end are absolutely great, and work very well in the context. Those are probably the high point of the game, and unlike a lot of games made by large studios, I felt care and attention was given to the game and environments from start to finish.
This is an odd one. I liked it, and found the design refreshing. If you buy on sale, it is almost certainly worth the paltry sum spent on it if you're willing to dig into esoteric mechanics and the unusual choices made in the creation of the Song of the Myrne.
A good zelda-like RPG featuring three classes, melee, ranger and sorcerer. The game is short and monsters & bosses are pretty easy to defeat, which makes the RPG elements -such as stats and feats- of the game pretty useless, I finished the game at level 5 ranger with only 1 feat after completing 6 of 7 side quests and exploring almost %90 of the world. There are also two unique skills, herbalism and mining, which are totally unnecessary considering it takes a long time to maximize them despite being how short the game is. Crafting too is worthless since shops and loot throws your way good gear all the time. That being said I don't want to sound negative, game is pretty fun and developer seems to have a unique sense of humor. But it could be better if RPG aspects weren't here at all - instead there could be health upgrades and unique weapons in hidden locations like most of the other zelda-like games.
I got this game because it reminded me of Rotmg (Realm of the mad God) and it turned out to be pretty decent. However, I will mention that the game is somewhat short (8-10 hours at the VERY most, more like 3-6 hours) and the boss fights are a little underwhelming. Unless you are being really careless or never upgrade your equipment (an iron shield is very good), you will never be in a scenario where you might die. The dialogue is decently thought out and cleverly funny at times. The game is simple, yet I had much fun playing it. Also, the second story, which is very short, is a nice touch. I also like the secret ending to it. All in all, I would probably recommend, especially if it goes on sale, even though I liked it a lot and got it for $5.
I had a lot of fun with Song of the Myrne. It features simple but compelling gameplay, and has a good sense of humor. I initially bought this game because it reminded me of Realm of the Mad God (RotMG) which I played a lot of back in the day. Both the art and gameplay are somewhat similar to RotMG, but with some interesting changes and additions. One small (but much appreciated) feature is that the equipment you put on is visible in the overworld. It's a small detail, but it really adds a lot, and I'm impressed with the efficiency of the developer's pixel art to allow for noticeable character customization within an 8x8 square of pixels.
Another thing that I really liked was the variety of weapon types. Whereas RotMG typically has weapons within the same type (sword, dagger, wand, etc.) behaving the same, only differing in damage, sound, and appearance (I understand this does not hold for untiered weapons), Song of Myrne made weapons feel unique, both in the distance they fire, their speed, the size of the shots, etc. The bullets fired from the pitchfork (for instance) really do make you feel like you're attacking with a pitchfork.
The story is a bit short, and some of the systems (like the crafting and leveling system) feel a bit underdeveloped, but if you judge Song of Myrne for what it is -- a $5 game -- you more than get your money's worth. The visuals and sounds of the game are great, the story is light, funny, and entertaining, and the gameplay is fun. What more could you ask for?
Honestly, the biggest gripe that I have with the game are the menus. The UI looks a bit funny, and it bothers me a little more than it should. I can't quite put my finger on why that is -- maybe it's that the font doesn't match the 8-bit style of the rest of the game, or the colors clash with the otherwise consistent / cohesive visuals of the rest of the game. Regardless, it looks a bit out of place to me, though it's ultimately just a small nitpick.
If you like simple bullet-hell esque games, enjoy the 8-bit aesthetic, and like games that don't take themselves too seriously, you will likely enjoy Song of the Myrne: What Lies Beneath.
What Lies Beneath is a Zelda-style action RPG game. You can craft a lot of items and weapons.
Well, the game is not bad. But it has too much bug. After 14 hours of play, I encountered a fatal bug in the main story. It destroyed everything and forced me to restart the game from beginning. Now I lost interest in this game.
Cons:
- You only can save the game to one file.
- The foolish autosave system will save the progress after you change the map. So if you have made a serious mistake, your save file will be covered.
- You can't get the boss key if you change the map, and you will never get it anymore. Because the boss is invincible now. This is the biggest bug that ruined my game.
- There have many trees in the map. But you can't cut them. The only way to get woods is buy them from the shop.
- You will never get another shovel if you sell it.
- Sometimes you can't loot items from enemy because they dropped near a door. Click them will open or close the door.
No, it isn't you. The main quest really doesn't make any sense.
Become whatever kind of hero you want while wearing all the hats! An entertaining little RPG with a handy equipment crafting system and a riotous funnybone. This is not a game made with material or level grinding in mind but with the possibilities stuffed into a deceptively small package you'll find yourself doing so anyway just as I did.
Fun game. The humor was good and more would've been great. The character needs to have more flexibility in development, one or two points kept me from testing the waters once I realized dumping everything into Strength and Health was about the only realistic method of building a character. I haven't tried magic too much, nor missle weapons, so there is some level of balance that could be figured out for a sequel to make it more interesting, I'd love to play it.
I really played this game for the first time today, and I have to say, it's amazing!
Pros:
Sound Track (A selection of varying genres with great composition)
Learning curve
Combat
Economics
Potions
A nice amount of history to the land
A funny twist on a classic-style RPG
It's like ROTMG, but with more of a story and more intricate game mechanics.
Cons:
Beginning enemies are very difficult, which can be seen as either a pro or a con. I see it as a con because the game instantly is throwing you a fastball, and if executed correctly, this can be good for fast-paced action games, but thiss is not one.
That about does it for this review.
TO POTENTIAL BUYERS:
Before you purchase this game, try Realm of the Mad God first, it's free and quite similar to this game, just a little easier and minor changes to gameplay.
Thanks for reading!
This game was AWESOME!
I loved this game honestly. I think it's just that I have a love for pixel games and RPG's so when you put the two together you know you're going to get a good game!
There was a ton about this game that I really liked. There were also a few complaints I had though. The major one was how short the game is.
Just know that if you buy this game you will only be playing it for a few hours before the game just abruptly ends...It's honestly sad how little hours went into this game before the end of the game came up. I wish I could've put in more. I wish I could've used all the spells that were present when leveling up.
I only got to use ONE magic spell, had less then a handfull of weapons, and to be honest the way to save was sort of weird. I would have rathered having recall potions or something to get me back to the saving point (Sort of like Dark Alliance)
All in all it is an awesome game and I recommend playing it!
Pros:
-Super fun to play
-Awesome pixel art
-Funny story line
-Lots of fun to play
Cons:
-SUPER SHORT
-No progressive health regeneration
-Weird saving system
-NO CO-OP!!!!!!!!
Have fun playing this game and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did!
P.S A word to the developer please put more story and hours into the gameplay. I would soon like to play this again and have enough time to explore the world, use all the magic, and level up my character. (ALSO add online COOP multiplayer PLEASE!)
I enjoyed this game very much, It was challenging and a little frustrating at times, but definitely good fun. somewhat short, but definitely worthwhile.
Song of the Myrne is down to Earth and fun. It is a basic style RPG that has me playing over for the third time to try a different class path. There are many options to choose from.
Pros:
Fun Combat
Easy Crafting
Good Soundtrack
Cute (Slightly Profane) Story
Addicting Gameplay
Cons:
It is over by the time you've really gotten good.
Mobs disappear after a bit of grinding so, no way to really reach "max level"
Great game. It was made very well and it is clear that a lot of effort was put forward. I would recommend this game to anyone. For $5 it is very worth it.
I do have some things I would like the developer to know.
1. You level up to slow. Leveling up takes forever and there is too little of a reward when you do level up. I think it should be that you level up slow but when you do level up it gives you a lot of upgrade points or you level up slow but every time you level up you only get, say, 1 point.
2. Quests are to unclear. I found myself many times walking around blindly because I had no clue what to do. I think quests need to be more clear on where to go.
3. Bigger map with many cities/villages. Right now there is only one village (That I know of) and it is boring to only have 1 town. There should be many towns with many quests and lots of people.
If you are reading this and you are thinking of buying the game, buy it. Even though I have stated what I don't like, it is still a good game! If you are the developer, please take these additions into consideration! Thank you for reading this!
From the time Ive had with the game I believe that overall its a preety good game for 5$. Its a questline based story with multiple side quests along the way. The quests arent that detailed though. So the story isnt that rich but it makes up for it with the humor of the quests. And you do get a sense of accomplishment from doing the quests from the gear that you get along the way with some lvls every here and there.
One of the problemes that somebody would have with it is the quests are not very descriptive. Most quests tell you just to do something and not how to do it. For instance one of the very first quests you get is to find who killed your beloved rabbit wife. Thats all it tells you, is to do just that. Youll have to figure out what to do from there. That alone left me wondering around for about 30 minutes untill I learned I had to go to the village, talk to this guy in the bar, and he will tell you to go to this dungeon and you will have to clear the dungeon. However he doesnt tell you where the dungeon is.. So if your expected to be guided through the story dont. With the amount of time it takes to figure things out like that it adds alot of gametime.
Overall I still enjoyed playing this game. I do come back to it every now and then to see if I can figure out that quest I was stuck on. And if your thinking you might like it and are willing to spend an extra 5$ then go for it. Your welcome!
7.8/10 RagingTacoBlast
This game is a zelda-esque RPG with simple but charming pixel graphics. It doesnt look like much at first glance, but its really fun. If you are a fan of pixel art or top-down realtime RPGs, take a look at this one. Overall, its totally worth the completely reasonable asking price, even with a few minor flaws.
In depth
+++++++++++++
You move around with the WASD on a top down screen and aim you guy's facing with the mouse pointer, so you can run backwards while attacking or in circles or what have you. Its actually quite entertaining to run circles around a mob dodging their weapons while you hit them repeatedly. It is controlled simply. RMB is any ranged weapon, LMB is use (the cursor changes to a situational icon when you are pointing at something you can interact with) and melee. A few other keys round out the commands (questlist, char sheet, quickbar, inventory, menu), and all are mappable.
All weapons have a slight cooldown and even melee weapons have a range difference based on type (ie a sword has more range than a dagger) identified by how far away your "attack" animation travels. There is a simple char screen any RPG'er will pick up immediately, where you can add stat points, learn talents and generally make your guy better. It has a niceinventory and item system, and there is even a crafting menu. The enemies respawn, so farming and grinding is an option if you wanted to, but not strictly needed. There is also a lot of tongue in cheek humor, but it never feels like it beating you over the head with "trying too hard to be funny"
It does have a few flaws, some people may consider them major, some people may not care at all. One of the ones I consider major is the M+K only configuration. For people like me with physical disabilities that make it so using WASD is difficult, JoytoKey is a must. But even then JoytoKey never works as good as native controller. Another one is that the game is obviously written by someone without complete fluency in English. Grammar mistakes and odd phrasing abound in nearly all dialogue. It isn't as badly written as many games I've seen, but its definately noticeable. There are still many jokes that are greatly amusing, and some of the stilted odd dialogue adds a certain charm.
If you are fluent enough to play it in French, I suggest you do that.
Another thing I noticed is that walking into the bed at the inn is how you regain health and save. It costs 4 gold every time you touch it. There have been times when I bounced off it accidentally while leaving, causing me to spend 12 gold I didnt want to in 2 seconds. I have also been pinned by NPCS in certain areas (the crafter's bench in the miscellaneous store is horrible for this one), and was unable to get out due to the configuration of the area. It could also stand to be a little longer and have wider variety of items and crafting receipes as well as not have everything you can craft visible from the start (although that is a matter of personal taste, I like to gain/learn receipes instead of seeing everything right away). YOu;ll probably get 3-5 hours of gameplay out of it, more if you explore and mess around.
Even with these flaws - which I would call more of a lack of polish than anything - the game is definately worth it. With a seeming trend of indie developers charging ridiculous prices for games far less polished and fun than this one (especially 99c mobile games being badly ported to the PC and sold for $10), its a breath of fresh air to see a non-greedy dev charging a fair price for a game.
Its worth the $5 for any top-down RPG or oldschool fan. Get it.
What Lies Beneath is like a combination of Relm of the Mad God, Binding of Isaac, and Zelda. Combat is straight forward and easy to pick up but hard to master. You have to learn quick too as the enemies are quite hard right when you start out, but get easier fast as you gain levels and get better equipment.
There are a lot of NPC's to interact with and everyone has something to say. Sure they are usually jokes, puns, or insults but you will still find yourself wandering around talking to everyone because they are all entertaining. When I told one NPC that he was not needed and that I already knew the information he was going to tell me, he questioned his own existence in the game and poofed into the nether
Oh another thing, enemies get experience when they kill you, so don't loose to many times to one guy or that guy is gonna be untouchable.
If you're still not sure if this game is for you, check out my playthrough of the first 40 minutes of gameplay.

This game is fun at first, but you come to realize it won't be as big as you would have hoped. The game takes around 3 hours to beat pretty short for an RPG. However those 3 hours are fun, many things in the game were fun, but many things also needed improvement and just more content. I just feel with a game so simple the creators should just add open mod support and a co-op mode so people can create their own worlds and items, while getting a chance to enjoy this simple game with friends.

The game will give roughly 3 hours of gameplay which is ill suited for an RPG. It gives you just enough time to figure things out but not enough time to advance any sort of story or bring your character to a reasonably customizable point. I hit Level 6 when I finished the game, which gave me 5 points to distribute. I put two in stamina which ended up being a completely useless stat to me, 2 in health and one in mana... which also ended up being a completely useless stat to me.
The final boss of the game was killed by left clicking it over 10,000 times. My right hand is still suffering from carpal tunnel, but thankfully I'm left handed and can do fine without. But if you have carpal tunnel and are right handed.... you probably should just not buy this game.
The game starts you off in a room where you left click on what appears to be a flower until you look a little closer and find out that it's your dead wife. You find out she's dead and receive your first quest to avenge her. Throughout the game you will pick up 8 quests which will get you to 8 different boss-like entities that are all killed in roughly the same way.
The game advertises crafting... which it does have. However since the game is so short and you don't actually need it, it doesn't make up a very important part of the game. I killed the final boss with a weapon I picked off of an enemy, crafting seems like it is tacked on. It is the way in which you get all higher quality goods, but because you can beat enemies by using a microing technique, it's simply not necessary. It's kind of like how I found out I could block shots with the shift key... and then never used it because I barely ever got hit.
Each story is very rushed. You talk to a person and they tell you two sentences, and then you are on your way. For an RPG it's very lacking in plot development.
The pixel graphics unfortunately hinder the game in such a massive way. Pixel art can be very beautiful. In this case it looks like most of the pixel art was taken from royalty free artists and slapped into the game. Nothing looks like what it should be.
If this was a free to play browser game I'd play it. But I don't think I'd ever pay for something that looks like it was made at a game jam.
I found this game very enjoyable. At first glance it might seem like a poorly drawn game and the graphics make it much worse. WELL YOU ARE WRONG. This game has an amazing crafting system, leveling/ability system (Charge is a bit OP if you get a direct hit ;] ) and skill system. When you start picking up mushrooms and fail, your skill goes up. Although the first two bosses (Troll and Spider) are easier than some of the actual enemies (such as snakes) when you first start, it is a very fun game and was a great $5 spent.
I highly reccomend this game, 9/10
PROS:
+Crafting System is very organized
+Ability/Leveling System makes perfect sense
+Easy to get into and learn
+Funny story line (your wife is a bunny)
CONS:
-First part is confusing on where you have to go
-Moving is a bit odd (you move fast where your mouse is and going diagnol makes you go 2x normal speed)
-Enemies are very hard when just start off
Well, it's quite obvious that this ain't a finished product, if the devs add more stuff, then it can be an awesome game. The mechanics of this game aren't anything you haven't seen before, but they work. This game has crafting, herbalism, fishing (and so on) skills similar to wow, it has skill trees similar to diablo and it has graphics similar to Realm of the Mad God. It's a little repetitive, if the devs add more shit then it can be awesome.
btw, music reminds me of diablo 2, so for me it's a 10/10( just for the music <33<33 love you diablo2)
At first glance What Lies Beneath looks like Realm of the Mad God, but the visuals are the only similarity. Myrne plays a lot slower. It wants you to take your time and explore!
I'll do my best to describe the good and bad points, but with such a simple game, it's a bit tricky..
THE GOOD:
-The story doesn't take itself seriously. If you've played DLC Quest, the sense of humour will seem very similar with goofy jokes and calling attention to the fact that it's a game. The main character likes to break the forth wall while the NPCs struggle to stay in character.
-Questing is fun! You could probably count the total number of quests with one hand, but the game does a good job varying them up. Most of them involve killing bosses or other creatures, but you might have to solve a puzzle to reach them.
-Very lengthy for what it is. You can finish it in a little over 4 hours. I got stuck on a quest which took me a while to figure out, otherwise everything else was easy :)
-The Music is awesome! The soundtrack in What Lies Beneath will surprise you! Seriously, it's steps this game up to a whole other level.
-Walking speed doesn't suck! This might seem trivial, but for a game like this, moving slow can test your patience. You can spend stats to increase movement speed and there's plenty of items that warp you to your last checkpoint (touching a bed saves your game and sets spawn)
-Easy to grasp crafting system! In this day and age, crafting has become a strange standard in gaming, which a lot of times requires loads of research on the games wiki. Song of Myrne has descriptions for every item and effect in-game so you won't be scratching your head and taking notes.
THE BAD:
-I've ran into a couple bugs. One completely locked my hotbar. I could walk around, but I couldn't attack. Reopening the game resolved the issue.
-The second bug isn't an issue, but it's quite cruel. I was killed inside a dungeon (being killed will respawn you in town and cost gold) and while the screen was fading out to respawn, the monsters continued to attack my corpse. Each hit counted as a "death blow" so kept losing gold over and over as the game thought I died multiple times.
-The Hotbar can get a bit confusing. Say you have an item tied to 1 on the keyboard. If you have 6 of that it shows your reserve on the hotbar. The problem is there's no visual que letting you know which number is which, so until you get used to it, you might press the wrong key a few times. This is an easy fix if the numbers on the hotbar were a different colour than the item number.
If you'd like to see the game in action, here's my First Look :)

FINAL THOUGHTS:
If you're in the mood for a casual single player RPG, you can't go wrong with Song of Myrne. $5 is a perfect price for this game. Any bugs I ran into weren't game breaking or annoying, I just noticed them. I really don't have anything bad to say about this game.
-Thanks for taking the time to read this review!
