    If you ask me whether I think one should play this game, I would say "yes, but...". My problem is that I came with expectations, some understandable, others completely on me. One thing that I am not happy about, is that this game was implied to be a love story between two women. If you've come for this, prepare to be disappointed. As someone who's known a time where everything had to be subtext in mainstream media, …

    I truly wished I could recommend it but unfortunately, in its current state, it's not enjoyable to play. There are far too many bugs and the combat system is neither tactical nor fun, it's just clunky and frustrating. Dodging system is bad and it's always a matter of spamming the attack to break the enemy's guard (who's countering us with the reaction speed of a guy on twelve lines of cocaine, like.. calm down bro). …

    I hate to do this so early in but between the demo and starting this I worry that aspects of this game were rushed out the door. Now it's important for me to state here that I want this game to be great, who doesn't want to play another great game? And I need to say that because I think on this launch day there's a very particular group of people screaming "woke slop" every 5 seconds that I am absolutely distancing myself from. We need stories that explore all kinds of people at all kinds of…

    This game makes Getting Over It With Benneth Foddy feel like a relaxation game. Never in my 28 years of gaming have I found something, that feels like a sloppy Alpha version of a bad game, that was handled by a pack of drunken dry beavers. No one, and I mean NO ONE probably knew what to do and they watched a couple of bad tutorial for UE and decided "imma make a lovely game about a girl knight with dead eyes and teeth from Attack On Titan". $20 is $30 too much for this game.

    that game is not ready to be sold!! the first cinematic looked awful and it's supoosed to be the best for attracting players, all textures were flying around and spinning on characters, not to mention bianca's head going 360', also the mouth capture is reaaally weird how is that normal for a 2026 game???

    When we say that a game is barebones, we mean this... If we have a chart for the most empty world, bad game mechanics, no doors to open, bad story... basically a slide show with interactions, 1348 Ex Voto will win, no contest! This is a GAME only in name. It's frustrating to play, the world is dead and baren, the mps's are just standing around waiting to attack. It's a chore to even navigate around. 1348 it's bearly in it's Alpha stages, I DON'T know how can the developers have the audacity to…

    Disappointed but not surprised. From the moment I saw the first trailer, I had a feeling something would be off about this game. It just promised too much. Beautiful visuals, dynamic animations, an engaging combat system, and a (potentially) lesbian relationship? Sign me up! And then the game was released... I expected it to cost a whopping $30 or $40 for something like this, but no. In my region, it was barely $15, so I knew something was fishy. And sure enough, everything I had been promised…

    Walking simulator. The idea isn't bad, nor is the story, but there are many things that need polishing. The character and NPC modelling is mediocre, and they don't fully explain how the menus and mechanics work. Just for the first boss battle, the fact that the controls are so clunky makes it unplayable. Having to lower the textures to medium and play at a stable 30/40fps makes it even worse when it comes to enjoying the environment and gameplay. The combat is very clunky to use,…

    For a game whose marketing and pre-release buzz revolved around being the "lesbian knight game," 1348 Ex Voto fails to engage with the queerness of its lead pair to such disastrous results that betray not only the characters but also the audience willarowe.bearblog.dev/1348-ex-voto...

    OK, the Lesbian Knight game, here we go- (cue 4 Non Blondes - What's Up music). I really wanted to enjoy this game. I didn't care about the gay romance or the way the characters look. I like the futile aesthetic a lot. I'm serious about this. This game, is for all intents and purposes, a walking simulator through a futile medieval world. Nothing fancy or over the top, just roads, towers, trees, and rocks, OH MY! This would be a wonderful experience if the game was optimized correctly. It…

    One of the most broken games I have ever played in my near 30 years of gaming. I tried to finish the game but couldn't as the combat is utterly broken. Camera is one of the worst since Neverwinter Nights 2. Constantly switching targets when I am trying to finish off one target only for that target to go back to full health and for both enemies to take me out. The Villa level is the definition of hell. It was clear by playing that level that none of the devs play tested that level or most of the…

I played the demo and thought it enjoyable and I wanted more. I even bought the Deluxe edition as I love game art books. I've played nearly 6 hours and I've had to give up. it's just far too frustrating. First the good: 1. The game looks beautiful and even though it's fairly linear I enjoyed exploring and finding upgrades and food. 2. The story is basic but…

The only redeeming quality of the game is the performances given by Jennifer English and Alby Baldwin, but not even that redeems the game overall.

    About 5 hours into 1348 Ex Voto, and I’ve just reached the amphitheatre—and honestly, I’m pretty disappointed. The game looks incredible. The environments are easily its strongest aspect, with a lot of care clearly put into atmosphere and visual detail. But that’s where most of my praise stops. The pacing feels all over the place. Chapters cut abruptly in a way that feels like it’s trying to imitate A Plague Tales chapters, but without understanding why those transitions worked there. Scenes…

    Pretty game with strong acting. Unfortunately the design of the combat seems fundementally flawed. It's not about waiting for an opening or watching animations, or even mashing buttons, but instead seems to be completely focused on depleting an enemies block bar, then hitting them a few times before it resets, leading to an incredibly rigid and awkward combat tempo that doesn't appear to change. The bisection of the gameplay into very rigid "now it is explore time" and "now it is fight…

    I was excited, a lesbian knight-princess game. But no, it is everything I did not want it to be. bad: -The combat is horrendous, people compare it to KDCD2 but by saying that you are putting an actual good game (KDCD2) in the ground. You are not allowed to change key binds, the game auto locks you onto enemies which you cannot change. So lets say you are fighting an enemy, break their guard, then boom! another one attacks you, the game now locks you onto them and you can not kill the other…

    I had high hopes for 1348 Ex Voto, a new Italian RPG set in medieval Italy, but unfortunately, the game left me quite disappointed. The experience often feels tedious, as you spend long stretches walking through empty spaces with little to no activity or loot to discover. When encounters do happen, the enemies—mostly brigands, at least in the early stages—lack variety, making combat feel repetitive. One of the most frustrating aspects is the save system. With only one continuously updating save…

Seriously, the game is not a massive open world or a hyper-realistic game (it's certainly trying to look it at times, but unfortunately it misses the mark), so why are the recommended specs so high?

And I'm a sucker for a good hero's journey.

    Despite an intriguing premise, 1348 Ex Voto really struggles to stay engaging over time. The story remains very basic, and the final twist is so predictable that it loses all impact, especially since the overall narrative suffers from a real lack of coherence. EDIT: On the gameplay side, stiffness is the main issue. Combat was a nightmare at launch, but it’s worth noting that recent patches have fixed the most glaring problems, such as enemies instantly parrying or teleporting behind you. That…

    I was interested in the game from its announcement but so far the game does not offer any patch notes to balance the gameplay. The fighting moves are repetitive and sometimes the controls seem to lag which can cost you to lose a fight.

But… that would be unfair to other players. I had to ignore TOO many things to really enjoy the game.

It's like they only poured out their effort into the sceneries and voice acting, and all other aspects of the game are janky. Like the lock-on feature for enemies is automatic and it doesn't make sense when you're fighting multiple characters. The game could use sidequests and a lot of things could be more interactable.

    If you ask me whether I think one should play this game, I would say "yes, but...". My problem is that I came with expectations, some understandable, others completely on me. One thing that I am not happy about, is that this game was implied to be a love story between two women. If you've come for this, prepare to be disappointed. As someone who's known a time where everything had to be subtext in mainstream media, I was able to pick up on some, but it is barely there. While this game aims…

    Unfortunately, I must agree with some comments. I was looking forward to this game and still bought it 'cause it's a studio's first game, but I admit some things make it not so good. There's still some good ideas here and there so I wouldn't say it's "trash" like some here, but it's definitely not problem free, as Ex-Voto has one of the worst kind of bugs: the ones that can block your progression.

    This game is a thing I wanted to like. I wanted to love it. The premise and setting were fascinating... But I cannot recommend spending money on it. The story made me feel hollow, so many interesting ideas picked up and barely explored, cause of this, its message is bleak but in a way that is without any substance. The characters feel like cardboard cutouts and learn almost nothing, the only decent moment was Aeta proudly announcing she is a woman and changing her style up a bit, but like…

    It's like playing a game in Alpha with all the bugs but top tier VA work whilst the story is still being written making it undercommitted and undercooked. Update: Now that I have completed the game I remain in my opinion. There are some ways to make the gameplay easier by taking up certain skills early on. However, the perfect attack is not clear at all and needs a major overhaul. I point this out as the developers seem to think players are just gaming wrong instead of realising it's the poor…

    Cannot recommend this game in its current state. Very poorly optimized. The plot setup is far too short and a bit predictable, but spending a bit more time with the person we're meant to be saving would be good enough. This game has potential even with its simplistic combat and I hope the devs don't give up on it, since the setting and idea are cool. More testing would do wonders! Also as a masculine presenting lesbian I've been really excited for this release and I've decided I won't refund in…

    I hate to do this because I was really excited for this game. First off the voice acting is amazing. I mean it's Jennifer English like come on. But that's pretty much where the positivity ends. The game has a great foundation but it just feels unfinished. And that is what makes this so sad. Textures just suddenly appear and disappear, hair goes through clothes and the facial animations outside of the cutscenes are outright terrifying. Even in the cutscenes it doesnt look that great.…

    Disclaimer: I received this game for free from the developers to play on stream. I really wanted to like this game. Medieval RPG featuring a female knight with a *potential* female love interest? Sold. However, upon entering the game, all the textures were very choppy and pixelated. I was able to fix that by adjusting the graphics settings, but I never got over 45fps the whole game no matter what I changed. Overall, I think the environments look good. One of the high points of the game. And…

    - Many visual Bugs, despite 5 months since release - You have open areas but get blocked by invisible walls - performance is all right on my system but I still have things popping in, and models look bad on highest setting - Fighting feels weird and clunky, u never know if you did something right Oh, fighting is the only thing you do except walking and picking up some resources. Which would be fine if the fighting would feel good. But even after the fighting rework its not good.

    I know this game has gotten mixed reviews, but I would recommend it. From my experience, no matter how powerful your machine is, you will probably have to dial the graphics back to run even remotely smoothly. After that, and getting into the groove of how the game is trying to present itself, I found myself coming back again and again to continue the adventure. The game has very challenging swordplay and learning how to properly guard was the biggest hurdle I had to jump. I do wish the game…

    the combat. oh god the combat. it is completely unbalanced for multiple person fights, which are 90% of the game. enemies are constantly circling you, retreating behind their buddies to near instantly regain all of their guard, blocking almost every single hit no matter the positioning, timing, or stance, when you dont switch stances they block your hit and open into a 17 hit chain combo. all of that just to spawn 3 more enemies after killing one of them, and then another two after that! the…

    I want to like this game, I really do, but it's an unfinished product. 1348 Ex Voto has some fun and interesting ideas when it comes to combat, like not being able to dodge when you're in a two handed stance. However, the gameplay is extremely janky and unpolished. Also, this game is NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE STRUGGLING WITH MOTION SICKNESS IN VIDEO GAMES!! There's some slight view bobbing that makes the camera shake as you run, and turning makes the textures sway in a motion sickness inducing…

    I really really wanted to like this game, and I was having a lot of fun...until I got to the countryside map. I beat the last 3 guys, watch the cutscene, then...freeze and crash. I tried it 5 times and still could not force myself into the next level no matter what I did and it...sucks. I really wanted to see this one through. Edit: Okay it started working after a rig update. I got all the trinkets, all the sword parts, I did everything extra, I 100% the game on my first playthrough that was…
