Отзывы пользователей
They never finished the game. They just shuttered the doors, said, "Good Enough" and walked away, shutting down the multiplayer aspect in the process.
Not even the will to offer local co:op or dedicated servers to play with friends. They just shutdown the servers and ripped money from alot of people which bought a online co:op game to enjoy. Thanks for the Scam.
We bought this to play in co-op. Guess we should have directly played it, because now they removed co-op from the game. Definitely a company to avoid.
4/10
Extremely underwhelming Arpg experience.
The graphics are nice, but that's about it. I played offline quite a bit, which doesn't show in the statistics, and it happens quite a lot that your character just vanishes.
Yeah. All progress gone.
It was fun when it was multiplayer and after some of the bugs were worked through but the loss of multiplayer makes it pretty boring.
They wiped my gold and gear and base building progress, gave me some useless generic "Unique" gear to replace it. Now i'm getting killed every operation and unable to progress.
RIP uninstalling forever now

Critical Review Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem (Dear Developers Read!)
I'm someone that love ARPG's in all forms, games like but not limited to: Diablo, Torchlight, Path of Exile, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, Grim Dawn - just to name a few and Wolcen is NOT as fun as the others for many, many reasons in which I will go over soon but before that let's thank today's sponsor: "I DON'T GIVE A FK™" ...huh... that's a little on the nose... Anyways!
[hr][/hr]
STORY
The story of this game is as follows you choose between a male or a female and that takes the precedence in the campaign as the 'Ascended' one. You have trained underneath 'Heimlock the Grand Inquisitor' the leader of the "Republic’s Army of the Purifiers" and are known as the "Children of Heimlock." A religious group known as "Brotherhood of Dawn" has attacked and infiltrated a place known as 'Crimson Keep' so of course you are one of the people that needs to punish them (y'know like spank them daddy). You and two others; which I will call "Wood A" and "Wood B" because they have equally if not let less of a character than actual planks of wood and I'm feeling resentful so I don't really give a crap. Is all of this important... well, both yes and no. The short answer would be yes but the long answer would be a no. The whole point of this opening is to put you on your path where you will discover that you are an 'Ascended' and there are two other cults lurking in the shadows. You progress through the lands fighting said evil HOWEVER here is where I stop being nice. The story takes a deep nose dive into the pits of Hell where it drown not only in lava and flames but goes through the Devil's rectum and then fed to a demon that pisses it out again... you get the point. Why you may ask? Because they mention another cult but other than a few words a cutscene THEY ARE NOWHERE IN GAME TO BE FOUND and if that's not enough they make a big deal of a few characters by building them up however they have no significance in the story whatsoever so why in the holy Hell are they getting so much screen time? Are they trying to become the next Top Model or something!? Needless to say but the story just didn't cut it, also it doesn't help that they change the voice lines but not the freaking game dialogue to match what they are saying also the game is full of grammatical errors which is driving me insane just hire professional writers it's not that difficult!
[hr][/hr]
GAMEPLAY
The combat is unrewarding in many aspects and they could have done more with what they had. The skills that you use lack the fun free-for-everything approach of 'Path of Exile' and/or the strategic infidelity of 'Diablo II' leaving it somewhere in-between in a void where no man should wander *shudders* and that both gimps and holds the game back severely. For example here let me take the magical spell/skill that I like to use called: 'Annihilation' which is a purple lazer that deals Aether damage which is apart of the Occult damage group which... wait, we haven't talked about that yet so let me go over that really quick so that you can get your brain melt sooner rather than later.
There are 3 main stats for damage and resistances in the game:
- Material
- Elemental
[*]Occult
Material is for Physical, Toxic & Rend.
Elemental is for Fire, Frost & Lightning.
Occult is for Aether, Sacred & Shadow.
Are you with me so far? I can't blame you for falling asleep this isn't exactly riveting or Earth shattering stuff, well maybe it will shatter your mind... in a bad way... anyways, I used the skill 'Annihilation' because I found it fun to use and in this game you don't have any spells when you start you actually find them from killing enemies which is kind of
Give me a moment... 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi... OK I'm fine now.
So let me explain my anger here because I haven't done that and if I did then it was poor. Annihilation has several things that COULD make it fantastic and amazing to use but why have fun, it's only a game, you know something that was made with entertainment in mind but heh what do I know right... *Sigh* So there is an "upgrade" that makes it so that you can shoot 2 lazers instead of just 1 lazer and that gimps your damage which is only fair because it gives you the advantage of attacking at two angles but it shouldn't gimp your damage too much because otherwise it becomes useless as an "upgrade" and that is the problem with the whole kit, there is another upgrade that makes it so the lazer can travel through enemies and hit enemies behind the first enemy hit but that has the problem of "nerfing" your damage by 20 f-ing %... that's insane! You might think: "20%? That's not bad, I don't understand why you are freaking out so much?" OK, fair enough then let me explain: this game divides damage into two groups "Additive damage" and "Multiplication damage;" the first only adds to your already existing damage so if the lazer deals 3000 damage on its own then you add that to your total damage count and if it is the second then it will multiply your total damage by .2% with the 3000 that the lazer does which is a huge damage boost so you take your total damage which is let's say 5000 in this case then you add the lazer damage to that which makes it 8000 then you multipy that damage with .2 which will give you another 1600 damage ontop of what you already got bringing the total to a whooping 9600 damage and that's without counting anything coming for your gear. Having upgrades that ups the damage isn't a solution to the problem. They could have had it so that the upgrades adds benefits without taking away too much especially when we are talking about just utility things that is suppose to make it so that you can have several different builds and play around with and have fun but no you are locked and if you don't like it then too f-ing bad, go cry to your bodypillow about it.
Also I'm not gonna sit here and go through every single thing stat wise, I rather keep my sanity thank you very much.
I would like to see them remove these ridiculous damage increasing/reducing numbers that they call upgrades and instead use their brains to figure out that hey maybe we can put some fun things in there instead, like being able to plant a lazer bomb that fires lazer to enemies that comes near it or have a lazer shoot in one angle continously and you can place up to 3 of them and if they are gonna have so that something gives you increased damage then it must work with an idea like for example: if they have an upgrade that makes the lazer short, let's say it halves it in length then it could be more powerful because now instead of a long range attack you have made a viable melee build where you can build a Sorcerer that can stack Material resistance and kill stuff from close range.
"META" is not made/created it's discovered so allow people to have some fun.

END-GAME
Remember Act 4? Yeah that again... OK I'll explain. In Act 1-3 you have actual places to go it feels like an adventure where you go to different environments and meet and talk to different people even if it is slightly underwhelming it is still better than nothing. However in Act 4 you are in Stormfall City and that's all there is until you manage to kill the last boss. You do unlock a few extra things after killing the last boss that you can buy for an absurd amount of gold which is only there to pander out the game more, fun for a brain-dead person. FK THIS!
Played when the servers were shot down already. so online players might be drawn away.
Minus a few crashes, and the grind at the end. The controls, the gameplay and the story were fun.
Greatest ARPG ever made. Chris Wolcen approved 👍🏼
The first three acts are fine, but the idiots who came up with the fourth act shouldn't be making video games.
The developers refused to address the actual issues with the game for YEARS and now it's dead. Modern gaming in a nutshell.
Having played around 75 hours of this game, I can say that it made me nostalgic for playing Grim Dawn - which I put 600 hours into... This game is not bad, but it's lacking. Still for the content it has you can still get some fun out of it, but get it on sale, especially now that online servers have been shutdown.
This is one of the better Diablo like games out there. It is in the top ten. The gameplay is really good. its only SP and OFFLINE! which is a huge plus over Diablo 4....
I honestly really enjoyed this game and got FAR more than my money's worth in terms of entertainment bang for the buck.
It's got a few quirks, but the storytelling and storyline are fantastic and dark. If you enjoyed Diablo 3 but wish the storyline was a bit more like the Warhammer grimdark stories, this is definitely worth a go.
I had played on single player primarily but loved the bloody thing and can't wait for what I hope will eventually be a Wolcen II down the line. Even when spinning the multiplayer game servers down the developer did the right thing and made offline conversion simple and easy so you didn't lose your characters.
Honest to god 8 out of 10 (8/10), it's the kind of rugged hidden gem you used to get REALLY excited about when you found an indy game that you hadn't previously heard of before.
Not a bad game but very buggy and awkward gameplay
I feel like reviews are too harsh on this game. It's nothing special and the story is boring, but the combat and skill customisation is really fun.
Definitely worth getting on sale if you like ARPGs, even just for 1 quick play-through.
This game is simply OK, but only one a deep sale. Otherwise don't bother, there isn't enough content here to make it your next ARPG.
Definitely more deserving than the mixed reviews sentiment it's getting. Got it on sale, and it's worth every cent. While there are many rough corners (and the loss of multiplayer), the story so far is relatively engaging (more so than D4) and there are interesting enough mechanics to not be a carbon copy of POE/Diablo/et al.
Some of my gripes:
- You can't combine potions or gems?? Leading to a ton of inventory waste? Even then, gem levels don't seem to differentiate that much from one to another
- Targeting enemies/things can sometimes be painful and not seamless (e.g. as a spellcaster, trying to hit breakable items works 60% of the time)
- Equipment/gold/etc seems very unbalanced. Loot never seems amazing (even legendaries) and you get a pittance of gold from selling items
What I enjoyed:
- For a 'indie' game, it's beyond beautiful in a way that AAA games wished they could. There are many many moments worth taking a breather from the spam-rolling and spell-casting, to just enjoy the aesthetic and design of the maps
- The skill tree is pretty decent (although i did wish the opportunity cost of using a set of skills over another was less severe). Unlike the POE skilltree which requires a master's degree and then some, this was very straightforward + extensive enough.
- The soundtrack is just... 10/10. I also most enjoyed the voice acting
Wolcen could have been something great with better studio support and/or investment, but whatever has come of it is still pretty darn enjoyable!
The amount of people giving this game a negative review because online functionality got taken down is absurd.
The amount of people claiming it's just a quick cash grab is absurd. No cash grab receives the amount of updates this got.
You literally got entire new acts added to the game, but no, that isn't enough for people, declare it a cash grab!
Get a grip and enjoy an actually very good game. I may not play it often but I always have a fun time when I do.
Great Potential, but Lacks Depth
I wish the story had more focus instead of the co-op feature, which feels unnecessary if it’s being removed later. The game is enjoyable, but something is missing. Also, CryEngine really strains my system, even with decent specs. Overall, I’d rate Wolcen a 6.5/10
beside the problems ( especially in the beginning ) i liked the game. Some interesting ideas and gameplay.
This game has mixed or negative reviews cuz of 2 problems:
1) there was co-op and then its gone
2) at some point, for some bllshit reason, you will need to fight vs lieutenants to make Main boss weaker, and no way to go straight to the main boss, and this lieutenants and their mob swarms are 15-20 lvls stronger then you, so you will need to gring boring repetative side missions to up your lvl's .
BUT! aside of this negative aspects (i actually uninstalled on the 2nd one) with a big discount, the game is nice and cheap diablo clone
Extremely broken! Unable to finish the game after I put so many hours. Bugs and glitches all around.
I don't know what the fuss is about. It's a good game, on par with any other great isometric hack & slash
The game is excellent. The developers borrowed the best from similar projects: Grim Dawn, Sacred, PoE, Lost Ark, Diablo. This game is similar to all of them at once. There's nothing wrong with that if the game turned out to be engaging. The developers abandoned their creation, which is unfortunate. I decided to familiarize myself with the story. The story is trivial, but it's presented in an interesting way. I like the graphics. The customization system is well implemented. The ability to choose your own path is the main thing. The absence of standard classes is not new, and here the player can choose their own path. The passing locations are not difficult, the boss fights made me sweat. Skill leveling is pleasing: there is the possibility of choosing preferred elements and additional abilities, depending on the need. The weapon and armor system is quite good. If you don't focus on the death of the project and its similarity to all isometric games, you can have a good time.
This game is just ok. It's unoriginal in visual style and narrative. It also has a few flaws that don't really ruin gameplay. Recommended if you like a standard Diablo clone (though Wolcen is more specifically a Path of Exile clone). Try to buy it at a bargain price, because whatever bugs you may encounter are probably never going to be fixed.
Single player ARPG (diablo-like) which doesn't look like its browser based.
I bought this game years ago but enver got around playing lots of it and despite some rough edges the game is fine as is and will give some proper time. Yes the servers have been shut down and the online functionnalitiees are off, however the game is still plyable as a single player game and has lots of content for a single player title.
Now I read most reviews and do find funny that most gamers are moaning about the servers being shutdown when they weren't playing the game when there was online functinnalities, the 10 or so who did well got enough hours out of it, get over yourselves the game is still in a very playable state, some games shutdown forever and we can't play them after buying them. Does it suck to not be able to play coop anymore? Sure and online coop would have been nice, but on the other hand it could have shutdown for good and we would have no more game.
Yeah it's sold at 25$ which is more than enough for the content you're getting. So for anyone searching for a single player ARPG with nice graphics because you have that hitch then go for it, the game is often on sale and you will get some good time out of it. I would say the game reminds me a lot of Van Helsing in its structure and approach but is different in character building. The Negative reviews are mostly gamers as usual unhappy to not have multiiplayer which they were barely touching.
took the money and ran. game was a 4/10 diablo clone that just could never figure out what they wanted to do with.
Was a nice game during beta. After launch everything went downhill. Was waiting for them to fix it, but they decided to just shut down the servers.
It's like Final Fantasy and Path of Exile had a baby, absolutely brilliant. This is the best ARPG I have ever played hands down. It's a crying shame that I just discovered it and now its offline only with no further development, still however a solid 10/10 though.
sad they gave up on this game. Feels like they just took our money and ran. Dont buy this there are lots of better still supported arpgs out there.
Played this minimally when it was first released and it was a mess. Now to see they are just shutting down the servers for the game with no compensation for those that purchased it at full price. Sketchy studio will not be purchasing anything else from them.
I bought the game a while ago and didn't start playing until recently. Shortly after I started playing, I was surprised to learn that servers were being shut down. So I didn't get to experience the multiplayer aspect of the game at all. That said, I enjoyed the single-player campaign tremendously. The graphics looked great with everything turned up to max. The story is different enough from the standard fantasy fare, and even offers up some wicked twists. The dialogues are well-written and get better as the story progresses. Like others I also thought the voice acting was outstanding. As far as game play, I liked the ability to play as any class just by switching weapons. The different skill and spells are a lot of fun to experiment with. I enjoyed this game much more than Diablo 3 single player.
This game showed a lot of promise. It's too bad the way the way the studio ended left a bad taste for many people. I hope they learned from this and if they would make other games in the future, I would be interested.
Excuse me? Shutting down the online functionality? Why is that necessary, why not let people connect with Steam Multiplayer or something??? I bought this game years ago and just never got around to it, and now I guess I never will
Bought into the Early Access when it was something else entirely and very promising.
Released as a Warhammer clone, and entirely disappointing. Finished the story with a streamer friend and never went back.
Now they're shutting down online servers, so it seems now it'll only be single player.
Brought this in early access, beat it later on with my bro sad to see them abandon the game and not even leave a lan or coop function. Wont be buying anymore products from this studio.
Lemme get the elephant in the room out first: The game had potential, but it was too much, they wanted too much and they managed to provide something.
But that something is not what the general user was promised/wanted.
Now, that we're done with that, the game is actually fun for a couple of hours, the story is nice, the environments are cool, it has a very cinematic feeling, something that I've experience in Lost Ark.
I was able to do my own build, and enjoy it, died a couple of times, but ya know it happens. managed to reach the last boss with it and it was fun.
Now, after playing it it left me with a sour taste, not that it was not fun, but due to what it could've been. If you want to play with Templar Assasin's Psi Blades, this is the ARPG for you, if not, Last Epoch/POE/GrimDawn are by far better.
DO NOT BUY! I REPEAT: DO NOT BUY!
It's buggy, sometimes unplayable and completely broken. Patches most often broke more than corrected. This game could be considered a scam. And now the creators bails on the game, leaving an unplayable wreck. Do not make a mistake; it had a great potential, but the sheer incompetence of the programmers just buried it.
I will NEVER buy anything from this studio, ever. They are untrustworthy and lacks any skill. And I will go even a step further; I will never buy anything they worked on. Just look at their development clusterfk. 2020 the game released 32, THIRTY-FREAKING-TWO people left the studio up to 2022! It only shows how HORRID the conditions had to be for people leaving en masse. And not just low-level employees... no, no... this exodus is including most of the leader positions!
SO... AGAIN: DO NOT BUY!
P.S.: They are not even leaving LAN option. What posers.
P.P.S: No, I didn't play the game to the end. It was game-breakingly bugged. I would have to delete the character and start again. There are better games to waste my time on than this garbage.
sad day. if they stuck with it and expanded it could have been better than diablo 4. but they gave up years ago, you could tell.
I bought this game at launch and it was horrible. Kept it updated waiting for the game to get good...
Now I see, its getting nails in its coffin.
I still need to complete it, off of principal.
If you have it, give it a finish. If you are thinking on buying it now. Go ahead and go to your next item on your wishlist.
V/r
People nowadays don't like difficult games, especially ARPGs. That's why they play Diablo 4 and Path of Exile. Soon, Path of Exile 2 which will be even easier. That game will be popular because of that sole reason.
Now, with Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, you are dealing with a difficult game, much in-line with any souls-like game. Many people will downvote this game because of it's difficulty, but remember, those players just aren't skilled enough to take on the challenge. They'll do well with easy games like Path of Exile, though.
I specifically bought this game for the couch co-op which is now gone. Practically useless to me now.
The game is pretty fun, with co-op.
The art looks and sounds nice, the game plays decently, having some ability flavors I've not seen in many other ARPG that are still fantasy. I had fun, was looking forward to it being finished eventually. Though I did hear the endgame isn't great.
This all being said the short sighted decision to make the game server based rather than peer to peer was a mistake. Now with the servers shutting down I cannot recommend this game any longer unless playing with friends is just not your jam.
devs are too greedy to keep the servers running and are shutting them down! fuck that.
Should have known better, bought the game when it wasn't finished. It had its ups and downs. Then one day the Devs came out and said "we are removing multiplayer and the game is finished"
Literally took our money and ran
My 1st review ever, and I believe this game deserves it. The worst 30 Euro spent on a game by far. It barely worked and is now abandoned with the multiplayer servers shut down.
Thanks for not making a P2P option for multiplayer. I guess it doesn't really matter though. Since I don't have time or friends to play games with when I do have the time to game.
