How on earth this is out of early access? This game is literally in the development stage. There are loads of bugs, design flaws and mechanics that does not wok. I enjoyed my time with this game so far, but it was by assumption is was being IN DEVELOPMENT stage. At this point many flaws may be forgiven. But If they decided to release game now? This is just silly and e should let the developers know that. And just on …

WARNING: long post ahead I really wanted to recommend this game, but at its current stage, I cannot. While I enjoyed playing it and have reached the end of the campaign with multiple characters, I do have some major gripes with it that remain in my mind. Cons: Weapon Recoil In what seems like an odd design choice, your gun is not focused on your crosshairs at all times. With most guns, you have massive recoil after …

I love the original roguelike and it's exciting playing it in real-time and in 3D. Everything is instantly familiar like the sound of the mobs, the loot, the general feel of the environment, though it's a lot more atmospheric and creepy. I think some people have gone into this expecting a more traditional FPS experience when it's more of an RPG. This is not a purely action-driven game, it's about character building, …

Really fun game. Captures much of the same spirit of the 2D predecessor but expands out to moody 3D environments and enemies. Can be harsh, difficult and unforgiving of mistakes and mismanagement of resources but each journey is a lot of fun.

At the time of writing this, I have completed Insane difficulty runs on all three base classes. This is a remake of Sword of the Stars: The Pit as an FPS Roguelike. Most of the aspects of the game are the same as in the original, with some notable exceptions that, for the time being, make the game less punishing. For right now, the game is even less punishing because the content is about equal to The Pit before any …

Players who liked The Pit: Infinity talk about faithful adaptation of the original roguelike into an FPS; those who didn't talk about game released too early with many bugs and glitches. Which matters more to you?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, not my first video game (I had a Sega Genesis when I was younger), but probably Exile: Escape from the Pit (1995), an old shareware RPG. It's still kind of the platonic ideal I have in my head of what an RPG is - a mix of worldbuilding, storytelling and character definition through builds.

It was popular and people actually waited for and loved to buy new DLC's for it. Then devs decided to make Kaiju game, which turned out to be an unbalanced buggy mess and devs stopped supporting it after few paid DLC's.

It's a horrible janky broken mess with glitches galore, terrible enemy AI, unfair mechanics, and sometimes the game just doesn't work.

Playing the game, one will likely notice enemies will occasionally have pathing issues to the player - either taking bizarre routes to get to you or staying in once place because while they 'see' you, they have no idea how to get to you. You would think this would primarily be…

If you somehow missed The Pit, the game this is based on, it was a top-down classic roguelike - turn based, thoughtful, requiring good tactics to make any progress.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a reason why Bethesda stopped using stats to determine chance to hit in their action RPGs after Morrowind.

Current Status: The game is enjoyable to play, if you liked the previous Swords of the Stars: The Pit which was top-down view and turn-based.

Unfortunately, that means it has all of the exact same problems, on top of being a somewhat awkward Unreal Engine 4 FPS. If you're not familar with SotS: The Pit, it's a Rogue-like that is extremely true the genre's origins, which is to say that it's brutally unfair and you will usually lose through no fault of your own. The biggest problem with Infinity as far as I see (as a…

The objective was to remake the first Sword of The Stars: The Pit in a 3d environment with the ability to play it with friends.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a difficult decision. Unfortunately game is not yet as polished as previous, and some controls are still totally janky, like some enemy attack animations (Zuul pups, but also others), starting pistol also feels junky and is not as usable as pistol in SOTS. As game is realtime, it will be hard to implement magic/psionics. So if you were a fan of first SOTS, pick it up on sale. If you were not a fan, wait an expansion or two and check out much more polished game.

The biggest thing I liked about this game was the sense of suspense. You can always hear monsters around the corner but it's very rare that you get to know when they'll actually attack you.
