Meet Your Maker: Deluxe Edition

This is not an FPS, this is a puzzle game. Yes, you have a gun and can shoot things. Yes, you have a sword you can swing at destroy things. But the entire point of the game is to navigate a maze filled with enemies and death traps. Think "Orcs Must Die", and you are the orc. The only orc. The game will make you paranoid, checking every floor tile and roof tile for traps. And then you can make your own maze. The game won't let you at first. First you have to run developer-created mazes and prove you understand how the game works. This game isn't for everybody. If you're expecting a fast-paced shooter, seek elsewhere.

The headline says it all. The more times you Meet Your Maker on a run, the more you study the design and take what works and fit it into your own design. Grinding for resources for one upgrade seems a bit much, but every maze being player designed does drive you to try the next maze... and hope your maze design brings multiple moments of demise to many runners.

Great game all around, great building and raiding components. The hooks are loged deep into my soul. Loads of suspense for sure. If youre easily frustrated, a rage quitter, have high blood pressure, or prone to being startled easily, beware.

I fell in love with this game. It was unique in a lot of ways while also sharing familiar features of it's peers. Nothing scratched that itch for me like spending a while crafting a dungeon, watching players travel that dungeon, and learning from that to work on the next one. But in retrospect, this game was not worth $40 with the amount of content it shipped with, and definitely didn't deserve microtransactions in that $40 undercooked experience. It is a fun, intelligent game with lots of potential, but worse than any of the problems this game has is the fact that this game was ultimately abandoned in favor of DbD, much to my dismay. I personally feel a little insulted for spending time and money on a game so many people were excited for and enjoyed playing, only to have it's development canceled for a game that can be milked for franchise crossover cashgrabs. Do yourself a favor: Find some cool gameplay on this and save your money. Money talks, and it killed this awesome game.
