ETROM: The Astral Essence Critic Reviews

I can forgive the horrible controls because so much attention was given to the story, the graphics and even the gaming experience.

The usual amateurish nonsense.

It's still ploddingly adequate in an unsurprising way, but the faults are just too many.

I was exceptionally disappointed in Etrom. I wanted so desperately to love this game, as it seemed to have all the makings of a rich, rewarding play experience. (Post-apocalyptic dystopian future?? Sign me up!!) However, the ocean of poor design ideas slays all of the potential before it can even begin.

Woefully dated and underwritten sub-"Diablo" hack-slashery.

An unplayable, buggy mess.
