    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.

That is exactly what happens to Insurmountable, a nice idea with nothing else.    … Expand

    Interesting premise, but poor execution. The pathing is terrible, causing your character to move back and forth unnecessarily, wasting energy and such.

    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, 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 boringVery interesting game.

    Insurmountable’s 2.0 update brings all the missing content that the original release desperately needed; while the new stuff is anything but cozy, it is challenging, which is the exact kind of thing players who love survival games are looking for. Insurmountable revitalizes the tired roguelike genre with its new setting and careful, slow-going mechanics, but it can feel a bit stale after a summit or two so it’s best to play this one in short bursts. If you’re always searching for that something over the next mountaintop, Insurmountable is cooler than cool — it’s ice cold.

    This rogue-lite survival’s ideas definitely feel fresh - its mountain-climbing setting is imaginative and the atmosphere is gripping. It gets repetitive soon, though, and boredom becomes a scarier threat than an avalanche.

    Insurmountable gains a new gameplay layer with the 2.0 update, which gives the experience a clearer structure and players more clear goals to aim for. Climbing peaks, with limited resources and careful planning, continues to be compelling. There are plenty of strategies to try out, many events to deal with, some mysteries to untangle. The problem is that there’s not enough variety, even with the newly added campaign structure. After 5 or 6 climbs, nothing is surprising. The player can try new synergies or new ideas, but the mountains remain largely the same. Insurmountable has a great concept and some solid mechanics but can struggle to entice players to reach more than one summit.
