I thought this was an RPG Maker game. This is bullshit.
Arkham Nightmares is a laughably badly made 2D top down retro pixel "adventure"/quest game ripping off (badly) the work of HP Lovecraft, and is really a very solid demonstration of why works of literature moving into the public domain might be a bad idea after all. This game is extremely buggy and badly assembled. There's comically awful voice acting. The character animations are good for a laugh though as you can watch the protagonist slide around to a halt before actually stopping. Or perhaps he has some eldritch magic that lets him slide around on the floor without moving his feet. No, it's just badly made. So badly made.
The game design is very shallow, too, as there's no deep puzzles or anything, it's just giving things to people and exploring... which would be fine if this was some Uber delivery driver game, but it's not.
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.
While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
Reviewing SteamDB to check how popular this game was with players reveals a surprise... there's a very healthy spike in player counts for the game. But this only appears around the same time that trading cards were applied to the game... so this is just card idlers getting their cards and moving on. A closer look at the numbers shows the game just has a couple of players every week running up the game and idling it for cards, then deleting it. We must ask how it benefits gamers for there to be so many games like this, with no merit as a serious game, that only generate sales from people idling and selling the trading cards.
Arkham Nightmares is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
I'm not really sure what to say about this game...
The story is unclear, the gameplay some kind of overworked old-school and the voice-over are the most terrible i've ever heard (only pro: you can disable them by unchecking "sound" in the menu).
EDIT: I needed time to get aroud and actually understande how the game works... now I would give it a 6 out of 10, it's not thatbad after all.
I was really hoping to be impressed by this game. I think an hour is ample time to give this game a chance. I have a tendency to find the best horror games in the little played and little understood games but this one was a huge miss. The main problem is that there is no direction or hint of how to play or succeed in this game. You have to build trust with other characters but the whole thing is guess work and I didn't even know what works and what doesn't. The lack of a save feature makes this even more frustrating as I have no break or comparison to tell if what I'm doing is right.
The next major problem comes with the nightmares. I know the story mode skips them but I don't see why it makes sense to have to break a game to make it playable. It seems to contradict common sense. The nightmares are confusing and add little to the game. Without them it's more of a visual novel but to be honest I think this game would be more enjoyable if it was. The nightmares a literally a waste of time and cost you all your collected items.
Which brings me to the items. Collecting random things and giving them to random people is how you progress in this game. As stated before you do not get any hint of who likes what so it's basically a guessing game that'll take several days. The days seem to be too short to get anything done especially in nightmare mode as you lose all your items upon waking up.
tl;dr: This is a boring game with wonky controls. It is a guessing game with little reward (I didn't really gain anything playing for an hour). The story is uninspired or at least to minimal as my time playing didn't give me any drive to want to know more. Basically it's just a boring game with little reward. I got it for less than a dollar and am still wondering if it was worth that.
The game just freezes my pc up and i have to force close it.
It should be called Bugs Nightmares...
It may be a little hard to understand how the game works specially for people who enjoys tutorials and that kind of things. Anyways, once you understand the mechanics and start to enjoy the game some technical problem appears and always ends with your pc crashing, thing like getting stucked on a bench.
I bought this game for the lovecraftian atmosphere. And I really liked, its good looking, the soundtrack its very nice... but its unplayable. Also there are some things that are just stupid, like losing your inventory every morning and have all your items in their original place again...
This game should have been sold as a beta, seems unfinished.
I really would like to recommend this game, but I can't recommend a game I can't play.
Difficult to figure out what to do and more difficult to figure out how to do it. Game only saves progress after a completed chapter, but despite probably 12 tries, I still haven't completed chapter 1...sooooo right back to the start. Again and again and again. Admittedly I'm getting REALLY good at doing the same things over and over a little be quicker, but I can't really call that fun. You get the picture.
So this game seems like it COULD be fun, but right now is way too awful to control. Also theres just no direction or guidance, the game just starts, And the narrator is amazing. And bad. Amazingly awesomebad.
Heres a video of the first in-game day.

This game is one of those games that are just so wierd that it is charming(actually it scared me a little becouse it was so wierd it felt like some kind of game that if you play long enough you get suicidal and it creeps me out a bit). everything about this game is so unpolished that it makes this game unsettling, and in a wierd ****** up way it works well (but might not how they intended it to work), and for those of you who wonder if its intentional i realy dont know. it might be but I think there's a good chance that it wasn't.
but dont get it wrong, it will may be considered a bad (or even awful) game by most people and I myself think its a bad game but it does it in such a way that it is enjoyable.
everything looks so ugly, the HUD is incredibly bad, and the voice acting is just so enjoyably bad ( seriously, there is one guy that does the main characters voice, and the main character describes and quotes everything you interact with and tries to do like this terrible, wierd accent that i can barely understand what he says) that i cant that not to love this half an hour of playing this game until writing this review (due to the fact i only played 30 minutes of the game i cant tell what is there in the rest of the game so character development or something like that i cant critisize right now).
I think that this game would be a very fun game to play late at night with your friends when you're drunk, and if it gets enough attention it will might be like one of those "so bad its good" movies like "the room" or birdamic, and that is the only reason i recommend this game. for the sheer awkwardness of this game and the wierd atmosphere, but for those of you who want a game that is actually a good GAME and want some fun gameplay thats not where to look for.
