    Simply put, Testament: The Order of High Human is a bad game that isn't fun to play and doesn't really offer anything meaningful to its players, who are better left if they simply avoid it.

    Visually, the game is not out of line with today's standards, and if we don't count bugs and the consequences of poor optimization, there is nothing to complain about with the graphics. The game as a whole suffers mainly from underdevelopment and risk aversion. It offers classic fantasy entertainment, but it doesn't dazzle with anything. [Issue#329]

    Every minute I played this game was just a reminder that I still need to play through the updated classic, Metroid Prime Remastered (I’ve just been too busy!). While I simply can’t recommend this game even to the most forgiving fans of the genre it so badly wants to be a part of, if you want to put “metroidvania” and “first-person” together, there really is nothing better than the Metroid Prime series. Go play those instead of this.

    If it weren't for the combat system and all the other systems connected to it, Testament could have been interesting. It's a pity that fighting is the core of the experience (it will occupy more than 80% of the gameplay time), so you'll understand that we're not talking about a secondary issue that can be overlooked. However, resources don't seem to be lacking, in the sense that if it were modulated differently, it could have been an excellent independent title. It just needed to aim lower, avoiding getting entangled in trying to imitate models that are simply too advanced for it.

    Testament: The Order of High Human answers the question: “What would the phrase ‘quantity over quality’ look like if it were turned into a game?” The result is a tedious, frustrating, and cringe-inducing fantasy adventure RPG that goes on so agonizingly long with its bland and confusing story and god-awful combat that it turns its bad ideas into atrocious ones by sheer volume. Throw in an all-star roster of technical issues, and you’ve got the ultimate “Elder Scrolls, but make it hurt” tour de force that will haunt me for even longer than the dozens of hours it already has.

The magics are fine and the bow is handy enough to enjoy the game. The graphics are totally acceptable and I experienced no errors during the game.
    The storytelling is another factor that I really liked. Although the voice actings may not been done at its finest since you feel some actors couldnt be able to bring the best out of the characters, the story has a lot to say. I have no idea about those ones who just wanna fight kill run and do all cliche stuff that we're used to doing all the time, but this storytelling with its concept besides it, is the rich embellishment to this game that made it different from many other games I play nowadays!!

    Now that I'm writing this, I have to say that I'm totally satisfied with the purchase I had. Morever I'm glad that I supported this indie devs that just started to rise. No matter how deficiencies it has, every products have and "normal people" usually overlook that! I personally didnt expect sth "perfect" from it the moment I startet to play since there are rare indie games which can perfectly satisfy me. but this Testament man is a decent one to try. it has lots of potential and I personally DON'T mean to be one of those who didnt let their voice to be heard!    … Full Review »
