I finished Valor Mortis in under 20 hours, and here is my review. Massive thanks to kind people at @oml_games for the review key. 🥇The game's setting is unique. To explore the battlefield ravaged by Napoleon's army and the various monsters was truly a special experience. There is a tragedy at every corner and you can feel the air suffocating you. 🥇Valor Mortis nails the combat. The parry system is risky yet rewarding. Once you get the knack for it, you will never go back to dodging. The game gives you several visual clues to learn the patterns of the enemies. 🥇The characters and voice acting are on point. From William to the Shrike, everyone plays their part wonderfully. I had no complaints there whatsoever. 🥈The skills in the game can be reset at any time. So, if you don't like the current build then just respec and try something else. I like that the developers don't bind you to a single playstyle throughout the game. 🥈Most of the bosses in Valor Mortis are very fun and just the right level of challenging. Since it's a first-person soulslike game, I had my doubts about the difficulty, but I'm happy to say that One More Level has handled it well. However, a couple of bosses are poorly designed and not that fun to fight against. 🥈The story is nicely fleshed out and it's rather engaging. After finishing a chapter, I was genuinely looking forward to learning more about the world and the characters. 🥈There are three weapons, three sidearms, and three mutations in the game. The diversity is not much, but I didn't get an itch to have more choices. But some people may have a problem with the limitations. 🥉The game has some bugs, but during my run, I only once encountered something that made me angry. Most of them were just visual glitches. 🏆 Overall Rating: 8.25/10 Valor Mortis does almost everything so well that it's hard not to recommend it. My only gripe is that not everyone will be able to adjust to the first-person perspective in a soulslike. There's no need to be worried about the glitches as the developers are constantly working on new patches. Thank you for reading. Consider dropping me a follow if you enjoyed the review. :)
