Morbid: The Seven Acolytes is a Horrorpunk Action RPG filled with Lovecraftian horrors and Cronenbergian gore, making it the most gruesome take on the isometric Souls-like genre yet!
Sprawling level design, thrilling combat, and great storytelling.
Morbid is a nice first attempt at the genre by the people at Still Running and a good alternative for who is starving for a new soulslike game, but it can be improved in many areas and it's consistently lacking in originality.
Some rather important missteps with the combat make the experience far too toothless, annulling the sense of fast-paced action and dramatically lowering stakes upon defeat.
Morbid: The Seven Acolytes offers a fairly positive overall result that is clouded by some nonsense such as an excessively beginner, almost browser-game aspect, in terms of texts and menus, and some levels a bit more confusing than necessary. Beyond those, good setting, good story, good mechanics. It's worth giving it a try.
Morbid: The Seven Acolytes has a weak gameplay and a world that pleases in parts. But if you are looking for a rich and immersive storyline, this is your game. Otherwise, wait for a price drop.
