I'm not really used to writing reviews, but I couldn't let this one pass by. I'm absolutely in love with this game. It feels so satisfying to play, the movements are incredibly fluid, and the combat animations feel so good. Not to mention the great story behind it: humans vs AI, which at the same time, at least for me, gave a great sense of nostalgia while playing. For me, a roguelike game must deliver exactly what …

This game will remind you of Neon Abyss... minus the annoying string of Easter eggs trailing behind you. I love it. There are plenty of permanent upgrades and items to unlock between runs, which keeps progression satisfying. The music is fantastic, combat feels great, enemies are unique, and the bosses offer a solid challenge. My only real gripe is the lack of mid-run saving. Each session demands a full time …

I loved the game and the progression through the levels is amazing! Everytime you come back to the base you have new interactions and the attention to details is super cool as well. I loved the amount of old internet memes easter eggs you can find and the weapons you get further in the late game are craaaaaazy fun. Strongly recommend to plataform fans like myself. The game is really fast paced and even when you die …

This game worked a miracle on me; it made me appreciate roguelites for the first time. I’ve always struggled with the genre, but here, in what is essentially an action platformer where your main focus is attacking, shooting, double-jumping, bouncing and sliding along walls, you have to be careful not to alert security by being caught on camera for too long... every time I died, I was motivated to do better next …

when i first played this game i played it for 6 hours straight and the only reason i stopped was because of human responsibilities. it then went into my favorites instantly. solid 8/10, would recommend to any hollow knight enjoyers who are fine with some learning curves. my only gripe is that there's no 7 hour lesbian love scene where we get to romance samantha but the gameplay makes up for that. just don't go in …
Summarised from 30 of the 91 public posts collected about this game; every point cites the posts behind it ([n] opens the post) and the split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Updated Oct 13, 2026. How summaries are made
100% of the 24 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Lia: Hacking Destiny. The complaint that keeps coming up: limited weapon pool reduces replayability. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

60 of 92 · most liked firstManchester City had 13 shots in 70 minutes yesterday and then Lia Walti came on and they had one (a blocked shot) after she came on as a sub. Chelsea won the game from the bench last week, City brought on Shaw and Kerolin, but Walti was the match winner from the bench this time.

Which is the time period when Roman was still alive. Lia and Roman being in the game would be a total mindfuck for him. Especially since vampires are real in it. 😂

After months of being in a Jail cell the two Elf’s started to become attracted to the leader. By the time the rescue attempt happened it was pointless.
neutral · AI labelView post →Time to talk about my vampires! 🧛 Lia and her sire Roman are characters from my Vampire: the Masquerade game, but one day, I'd love to port them into an original setting and story. The end goal with them is a fucked up romance built on her delusions, his manipulation, and their codependency. 🧵

Lia loved being a slutty elf so she sold the party to an evil king to work as slaves before taking him as her new lover.

It's kinda hard at the beginning but as soon you start to get some upgrades it becomes sooooo adictive! I love the late game weapons theyre soooo fun. Oh and i loved the references as well... tons of internet memes and THE CATS ARE SOOO CUTE! LOVED IT <3

neutral · AI labelView post →Since I’ve been talking about my vampire novella, THE HEART IS A WEAPON, for this prompt game, I’ll stick to those characters. That is to say, Lia and Roman have an equal chance of saying something that provokes the other, and they’d get into an insult-fest immediately. #JuneJottings

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The characters I think about the most are actually Lia and Roman, my vampires from the VTM game I'm playing with my friends. It's like brain rot levels of obsession. I'm absolutely feral about their terrible personalities and relationship. 😂 Again, though, it's mostly AU since the game is ongoing.
neutral · AI labelView post →A real shame about the result. Switzerland were so good for 99% of that game. Lia Wälti is also just so damn good. Best player on the pitch, and prob my favourite Arsenal player
neutral · AI labelView post →often in RPGs i'll 'let things go' if they go sideways and just let them play out. somehow i wound up glitching whether or not Lia/Cal (rolan's siblings) survive and the game thinks they're dead. I HAVE NEVER ALT+F4'ed out of a game and reloaded an old save as fast in my life. NOPE! Rolan's face 😭
positive · AI labelView post →Believe the WSL are also investigating the Arsenal Women vs Brighton game yesterday for potentially fielding 12 players for the majority of the game. Questions have been raised after Lia Wälti was found to be wearing the Arsenal kit underneath the entire time.

Them👀 I love Aymeric, he is my favorite character in the game, and i wanted to do a wolship with him, but everytime i tried to put him and Lia together, doesn't seems to work for me... And i tried a lot :v In the end, i think they are good being just good friends

You’ll run into the same weapons over and over. I saw one exotic weapon in 18 hours of play lol. Overall very good game.
