Purgatory

Purgatory (2016) is a disappointing and lackluster experience that fails to deliver on its promises. From its gameplay mechanics to its overall execution, there are several aspects that contribute to its negative reception. One of the major issues with Purgatory is its repetitive and monotonous gameplay. The game quickly becomes a tedious grind, offering little variety or engaging content to keep players interested....

I want to like this game, it’s nearly fun. This game is almost fun, but it falls short in so many places. pros • The concept, the setting is very cool • The voice acting isn’t bad Cons • The controls are really bad. Clicking on a character or enemy often doesn’t work as they have to be clicked in precisely the correct place • Visually, the game is much too cluttered. There is just way too much detail for...

Not the deepest of turn based strategies, Purgatory requires but a little grind to lead to ultimate success. The skill tree is fairly self explanatory and will make your core character powerful enough whether or not you choose to use other units by the time you reach the final battle.

Apart from that, the gameplay is quite shallow and incomplete. Overall, the game offers a promising concept, but falls short...

It's a decent experience considering it's only a dollar. It's HMM-esque gameplay but lacking polish, yet I still quite enjoyed it. That being said, I would suggest only picking this one up if you have exhausted the other better options out there or just want a cheap alternative.

The game is reminiscent of the very first Heroes of Might & Magic, but even that had better graphics. I like the gloomy atmosphere & music, the fog on the map is nice, but the enemies get redundant. The battle music could use a few more tracks, but the real let-down of the game wasn't all that (you almost expect it from this type of game), the big flop was the ending. It left me asking "Is that it? What just...
