What players think
The recurring themes across 34 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
like a mashup of secrets of grindea (character progression) and vagante (2d semi-platformer) - but with arguably far less content and innovation than either of those titles; the most accurate comparison I could make is that it feels kind of like a ghetto version of maplestory tbh.
I might have recommended it if the multiplayer was seamless on launch, but the game frequently crashes when the host enters any of the four boss rooms (yes, there are only 4 bosses in the game and they're all just high hp sponges like in maplestory, complete with trivial attack patterns).
Visually, Heroes of Umbra embraces a retro pixel art style reminiscent of 16-bit era action games.
+ Online co-op (one player becomes the host, the others join him).
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
