Gift of Parthax

Aside from being repetitive and unbalanced, the game features unobtainable achievements. Edit: The developer's working on an update to fix the unobtainable achievements, as well as reduce the needs for so many playthroughs. I'll update this review accordingly once it is available. Edit 2: The game's achievements seems to have been fixed, although I've had multiple game-breaking issues along the way. This may be due to how I've previously had a save file.

Great game that really sucked me in with it's gameplay and story. The pixel graphics are good, the controls are simple to get the hang on and the music really sets the mood. All in all a great little game that is definitely worth it's price!

Steam Play-ready enough for a ThumbUp in my book of magic. And it plays fine at 3840x1080/32:9 (though you cannot zoom in/out). Edit: Playable native Linux build in a dedicated beta branch, see https://steamcommunity.com/app/795610/discussions/0/1739968490553793957/#c1739968490557276157 for details. I wish I'm given the possibilitiy to apply a second thumbsup!

Wow. . how is anyone recommending this game? The camera framing is quiet poor, graphics are jerky, there's spelling errors in the dialog, and the character movements feel klunky. Loved the idea, but the execution wasn't great. Don't waste your time.

bought this cause one of my favorite youtubers played it and seemed to have great fun, so i bought it as well....and what a ballache it was. It just felt soooooo clunky and sluggish and not nearly the fun its suppossed to be/what it looked to be, so i refunded the game

this game is at the moment (27/04/2019) quite garbage. bad spell-making 90% of the spell-upgrades are chance-based with very low chances and they aren't even that good, also the "ooh you shot? ooh and it's a volley? well hope your aim is future proof because after clicking your next shot will go exactly the same way. and worst of all WTF is wrong with the hit-boxes you hit some stuff while missing it with a mile or "hitting" it perfectly but not really...... garbage

maybe the real Gift of Parthax was just the friends we made along the way

Gift of Parthax is a nice little 2D arena game thats great to play if got some time to kill. The combat can be a bit challenging but at no point unfair or unbalance, as you can customize you spells with different runes before each fight. The graphic is pretty nice aswell and very fitting for the style of the game and storie.

A great arena game. It is slower paced than Diablo, but faster than a strategy game. The tactical part of the gameplay is fun. Dodging enemies and moving around the areana is important to survive. I've not yet played to the end game, but the first boss fight was sufficiantly difficult and varied to make it fun. Using the different spells for best effect is necessary. So fast ranged spells for flying opponents, and ground traps and summoned creatures for slower walking opponents. I enjoy this greatly as a filler in between the bigger titles.

Gift of Parthax is a pixel art great game. Storydriven action arena game.
