  • Scathe is an alright game, though it suffers from a bad progression system. You will find yourself doing the same thing over and over for no good reason. There’s no progression in the story, the weapons are somewhat disappointing due to the lack of upgrades, and there was hardly anything ‘new’ to look forward to. This is a game you can play if you just want to enjoy some casual FPS bullet-hell action.

  • Overall, Scathe is a perfectly adequate shooter. However, it fails in its intended purpose of adequately supporting either a bullet-hell playstyle, or on the flipside, a slow-paced tactically-driven experience.

  • Scathe includes multiple endings, as well. I saw two, but one I believe to be the “true ending” required me to go back and track down what I had left from 192 Runes. But in the words of America’s ass: “No, I don’t think I will.”

  • There's no doubt Scathe is one of the biggest disappointments of the year. While Scathe may get more bug fixes in the future, but the mediocre gunplay, repetition, and uninspired, generic graphics can't be changed so easily.

  • Scathe has a lot of clever and interesting ideas. Unfortunately, it’s the execution that lets it down. Somewhere underneath the agonizingly-slow progression, pointless plot, and a visual mess as a result of its desire to also be a bullet hell, Scathe is a game with potential that’s sadly never reached.

  • Scathe is a good first-person shooter for anyone who loves the genre and appreciates a challenge. The story is good enough and the combat feels visceral. Moving through the same rooms can become repetitive but the FPS mechanics are good enough to keep players engaged.

  • Graphically Scathe isn’t particularly dazzling, but the burning torches and gothic architecture get the job done. Sadly, this is kind of emblematic of Scathe in general.

    Scathe is not a bad FPS. Indeed, shooting gives a certain satisfaction, the infernal setting is sick and violent at the right point, the spells add a bit of variety and the online co-op makes you feel less of the underlying repetitiveness that, for better or for worse, characterizes often these bullet-hell in subjective. The debut game of Damage State, however, fails to go beyond a full sufficiency for different limits in its structure, for a personality heavily clouded by the DOOM model and for a difficulty that really needs a nice rebalancing.

  • Scathe non è un disastro totale, ma ha semplicemente troppe falle per raggiungere la sufficienza e diventare davvero interessante. Giocandoci traspira una certa passione per il modo classico di concepire gli sparatutto in prima persona, nonché per un certo immaginario, ma la realizzazione ha troppo elementi che lasciano a desiderare ed è, quindi, davvero difficile consigliarlo. Il risultato è un gioco complessivamente mediocre, che andrebbe revisionato in più parti per funzionare davvero bene.

  • Scathe è un FPS che riesce ad essere soddisfacente, ma che allo stesso tempo presenta qualche ruvidezza: ben realizzato il gameplay, ma mediocri le boss fight, e l’ottimizzazione ha bisogno di qualche miglioramento. Considerate le dimensioni del team, resta comunque una buona prova.
