I wanted to like it, but Indivisible feels unfinished and due to its infamous development history it'll never get fixed. You can acquire a party member and its model will remain in place (it shouldn't), the piece of dialogue can play over and over in the same place, but I checked out when the characters started punching air because their models got slightly offset, dealing no damage to an enemy. The fighting system …

This was on sale for 85% off when I bought it. Maybe it's petty of me to request a refund on a game that only cost me $3.20; however, I feel like purchasing a game means that the developer and I have agreed to a contract: I will spend my very valuable time playing your game, and you will respect my time by providing me with an entertaining experience. Unfortunately, this developer violated their part of that …

Criminally underrated gem of a technically Metroidvania game. Solid 9/10. That being said, let me save you hours of your life: don't do any of the "back tracking" stuff outside of the main story until you get to part 3 (5 Iddhi bars) and have access to the majority of exploration tools. All the Incarnations(characters) will have side quests near the end that will take you everywhere anyways, so save the backtracking …

One of my favorite games I've played in recent years, Indivisible a great example of how to draw direct inspiration from the past and use that to make something new in the modern age. Equal parts Metroidvania, RPG, and Fighting game, this one combines the best of all three and wraps it up in an engaging mish-mash of genre fluidity and endearing characters, oozing with style and unique appeal. The gameplay drifts …

"An unrefined diamond in the rough" is the best description for this game. Is the game fun? Yes, no doubt it is. A well made effort in trying to combine RPG, Platforming and Fighting Game mechanics into one game. Are there aspects of the game that will make you frustrated? Yes, a lot of the mechanics feels unfinished and unpolished. Does the frustration overwhelm the amount of fun you can get from the game? With …

I've always wanted to play this game because the art is awesome and I always liked the style of Skullgirls.

It was already so many years ago that it doesn't matter anymore. I'm just going to tell you that this game was a flop and that you should buy Hollow Knight instead. Or, you could also try the game that originally inspired it, Valkyrie Profile for the PlayStation 1. This game never really had a chance to be a…

Genuinely no clue how it happened. :c EDIT: If I'm alt tab-ed while booting it up it seems to be what deletes the files. Even if I'm just in my browser while it's open not in fullscreen. I still highly recommend the game despite the fact this is now the SECOND time it's wiped my save files.

On March 28, 2026—two months after Trump’s gestapo forces murdered Alex Pretti and Renée Good—nearly 9 million people took to the streets to declare “No Kings” for the third time. The progressive organization behind the protest, Indivisible, declared it the largest single-day demonstration in American history. But six months later, with November midterms fast approaching, ICE continues to kidnap immigrants from their homes and Trump is not an inch closer…

I really wish steam had a middle vote option, because while I did have fun with this, there were too many things that stopped me from fully enjoying it, and often just frustrated me. The game has a lot of neat ideas, but that's also what causes it's biggest issue.

I'm not fully informed, but apparently the lead dev did some shady stuff and got the entire rest of the dev team to resign in protest (post-launch), causing Kickstarter stretch goals to go unfulfilled?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great concepts and art, unfortunately the game is pretty much just abandoned at this point, any bugs or problems are un-fixable since there is no one to fix them, half the promised cast is missing from the game and some character quests that would result in upgrades for the characters were never implemented so the game isnt worth a buy, at least not at full price.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Indivisible is an action platformer game where you mash keys to form combos to take down foes. The art style is so appeasing to my eyes, I really loved it. However, the movement in this game can be a problem sometimes as I end up triggering another action. Still, there were many characters I could acquire and they each have their strong personalities. The platforming in this game was quite challenging at times which I liked, even though they can be quite repetitive. Overall, this game is decent.

This game actually has an insane backstory, for worst, which I was unaware of before buying and playing the game. You can look it up on your own regarding the details, but the the biggest consequence that affects the game is that it lost it's immense potential which will probably never be witnessed, which is a big woe.

negative · AI labelView post →I was an original backer of this game and I had high hopes for it. What I got ended up being a pretty bad platformer and a combat system that just felt like it wanted me to button mash. After I tried to actually button mash a boss without any thought behind it at all I just couldn't stand it anymore and I uninstalled the game. The story is pretty bad as well with a deluge of empty characters that get thrown in your face.

It has few flaws, some of which relatively major, but I feel overall journey is great, would recommend. I suggest don't making my mistake, trying to find all upgrade collectibles early and just wait for later, when you will have more traversal abilities. That should cut a lot of unnecessary backtracking, making it much more tolerable. What i liked: ⦁ art-style is gorgeous ⦁ voice-acting is…
