Early Game Review: Unworthy · 1:35pm May 30th, 2018
Prove Your Worth
This game came out yesterday on Steam. I've played it about 3 hours now, and I have to say one thing...
This game is great.
I'm sure some of you are thinking "Well, I beat Salt and Sanctuary, which was also a Souls-Like Metroidvania title, so I'll have no problem beating this". Hold onto that thought as long as you can: A man should treasure his delusions for as long as reality allows him to keep them. Unlike other Souls-like games, where you can customize your own build and create an "Easy Mode", Unworthy is different. You level up in this game, and each level gives you a little more health, endurance, armor, and one extra point on damage on attacks. When you beat a boss, you have the ability to get an "Atonement", a small boost to your character's abilities. One Atonement per boss. And that is it. Sin, the stuff you get from killing enemies, is currency. You keep experience, but Sin is dropped on death. Which doesn't matter much, since merchants have proved rare and with very limited stock.
So, if you are expecting to find an easy mode for this game so you can beat it and boast about how great you are, look elsewhere. Unworthy gives you a challenge. It is up to you to rise to meet it. In other words...
Git Gud, Scrubs.
Currently as of writing, no way to rebind keys for this, the dev has acknowledged this, but you are set for keybinds atm.
DOes it need a mouse?
Because I only have a trackpad.
This is one of the things I missed about you, posting reviews of and then figuring out ways to break the video games of masochists.

A controller works fine. I use a Wired XBOX One Controller on my laptop ($20). It does say that a mouse and keyboard setup work fine too.

I don't have a mouse. Or a controller.
Oh well. Stil going to try and get it.
