żmija, have you ever played the thaumaturge? a mutual recommended it to me and i think it looks interesting but also following you has made me way more sensitive to how bad "folklore/mythology-inspired" things can really be than i already was
my problem is, as with many games from polish studios, that I know multiple people who worked on this game and I don't like a single one of them [*]
on a more serious note, I've seen a trailer or two and a couple of minutes of combat gameplay and it doesn't look like it's for me: while the premise is interesting (despite my utter hatred towards yet another sLaViC-iNsPiRed bits in yet another video game) the game itself looks rather unpolished, the combat repetitive, and the voice acting tires me out. the only reason I could see myself playing it is exploring their version of 1905 warsaw and the worldbuilding itself... but that, as always, has the potential to piss me off if it veers too far out of the realm of historical decorum and too much into "we're trying to be the witcher" category, which is an illness I believe the two us share.
but! I am a horribly bitchy sort of player and I judge games harshly and easily, so I ought not to be listened to at all. if you think it looks interesting, you should absolutely give it a go - I would love to hear what you think, and I'm sure it has the potential to completely change my mind if you end up liking it.
I'm pretty sure the demo is still up so I'd recommend playing that first - before you spend 100zł on it on steam. and do let me know if you do!
#although I think they finally added polish va? hopefully it's better than the horrid english one#the premise of the story is interesting but the story itself is actually rather dull. and the main character is just#well.#he's a thousand other main video game guys#also I've seen people foaming at the mouth that the game is too 'leftist'#so that's a point for the game for sure
