  1. I’m probably not the best person to rate the physical ins and outs of a mountain climbing game. But as a consumer of pop culture tales of derring-do, and a horrified audience member to that callous motivational speaker, I dig ByteRockers attempt to find the right genre fit for the singular, intense mindset of a potentially lethal hobby.

    If the developers stick with it, I believe they can fill in that content in the spaces they’ve carved out for it. And hopefully they do, because I think they’ve really got something here. Insurmountable has a strong, foundational bedrock, and it already shows how even that, piled high enough, can amount to something quite striking.

    Mediocre at best, I did beat the game because it is short enough to get through it, but I got bored before even finishing the first run.

    The game looks beautiful an unique at first glance, but once you start playing...Oh my. Basically there is almost no gameplay. Imagine a FPS survival game so empty and with such dull mechanics that it ends up being a walking simulator. Now, imagine that but in a turn based game with top down view... How exciting! That is exactly what happens to Insurmountable, a nice idea with nothing else.

    Very interesting game. To everyone who wants a break from a major game. It takes the player a while to figure out the movement mechanics, butVery interesting game. To everyone who wants a break from a major game. It takes the player a while to figure out the movement mechanics, but in a strategy game what I'm really looking for is having to stop and think about the next move. The mechanics of the events that can provide perks (positive or negative) to the player are beautiful. It turns out to be a nice pastime in boring evenings. The graphics and soundtrack are also nice.
