    clunky big mess, and confusing. Those are the words that describe this game the best. It's a big disaster, the controls are just dreadful, and the overall experience is just horrendous.

    0/10, but only for the PS4 version of the game.

    This Indie dev team has put together a really nice game, but the PS4 version of it was, according to them, outsourced. The problem comes afterwards, when you realize that the game is almost unplayable on PS4 (platinum trophy also unobtainable) due to ridiculous amounts of bugs. Now, whenever you ask the developers what's going on with

    Now, whenever you ask the developers what's going on with the PS4 patch they will copy paste a "we can´t access that code, it´s outsourced, blablabla", and that is if they even reply at all (their last statement about this is from November last year) and there is absolutely 0 information from Blitworks (the team responsible for the port).

    Worth a note, Blitworks has even removed EVERY reference to this game from their site.

    It really is a shame, mostly because the game looks really fun but sadly it´s unplayable on PS4.

    This game is terrible. As a Kickstarter backer, I am extremely disappointed in how it turned out. It lacks anything that would make me want to keep playing it. I wouldn't even waste the bandwidth or hard drive space downloading it for free on PlayStation Plus. This is not worth your time.

    I think this is the first time I review a game with 0.
    This game definitely deserves it. I know it comes from an indie developer and so, low budget, etc, etc.
    Well, that is not an excuse to release and make people pay for that piece of crap. I guess the worst is that is by very very far the buggiest game I have ever seen. That is simply objective. I can't believe the game's publishers

    I guess the worst is that is by very very far the buggiest game I have ever seen. That is simply objective. I can't believe the game's publishers finished the game and didn't see some of these bugs. Did they actually play before the game?

    The UI and controls are simply horrible. Probably the UX is a bit better with a mouse and a keyboard, but once more, if you can't release a decent product, don't do it.

    The graphics assets (weapons, NPC, enemies, decoration) might appeal some people because of the retro feeling, but they don't appeal me. I find them rather lame, considering the 90s are long gone.

    I beg you. Please please please try something new.
    I do not understand the point to recreate a game that was created thousands of times.
    Nothing original, nothing special.

    The game is a mess, simply unplayable. Bugs everywhere, crashs all the time, impossible to get the Platinum Trophy and even if for some miracle you're able to play, is just a mediocre game overall.

    I have to agree that this was an ambitious project from the studio but unfortunately, the controls are clunky and this makes the game very difficult to play if not, barely impossible. I recommend to wait until this game is on sale or free to play. Although it costs now around 20 bucks, it's still a high price for the quality of the product.

    Dragon Fin Soup is a challenging title, definitely not suitable for every audience. The large amount of things to do , however, is partly compromised by procedural mechanics of both missions and landscapes and a poor user interface. The result is a quite boring experience, especially in the long term.

    If you like roguelikes, then this game is worth a try. The problem is that it might not be the best option for players new to the genre nor for veterans. But if you're somewhere in between, it can be a good choice.

    If not outstanding, at least Dragon Fin Soup tries to offer a varied gameplay mechanics and a captivated atmosphere. Some hiccups harm the experience, though.
