“Flight School Studio has created an exceptional world to explore in Creature in the Well. Its prodigious art direction is enticing, wooing players into a unique puzzle game that very much feels like a history lesson on the medium itself.”

8/10 – Destructoid

“It’s tough at times, there no denying that, but figuring out how to use each sector’s layout to your advantage will soon make you appreciate the subtly implemented progression system and impeccably designed rooms, adding to the pinball hack and slash gameplay that feels fantastic in all its forms from the moment you step foot in the mountain.”

4/5 – Twinfinite

“Creature in the Well manages to inject the geometry-focused experience of pinball into the frenzied gameplay loop of a dungeon crawler to craft a unique puzzle action game.”

Über dieses Spiel

Creature in the Well ist ein von Flipperautomaten inspirierter Hack-and-Slash-Dungeon-Crawler aus der Vogelperspektive. Als letzte verbleibende RBT-K-Einheit wagst du dich in die Tiefen eines Berges in der Wüste, um eine uralte Anlage wieder mit Energie zu versorgen. Dabei wirst du von einem verzweifelten Wesen heimgesucht. Entdecke mächtige Ausrüstung und verbessere sie, um das Dorf Mirage aus dem tödlichen Sandsturm zu befreien.

• Flipper mit Schwertern: Lade Energiekugeln auf und lasse sie von Objekten abprallen, um schlummernde Maschinen zu reaktivieren und den Sandsturm aufzuhalten.
• Besiege das Wesen: Meistere seine zahllosen Herausforderungen und schlage es in komplexen, kunstvollen Kämpfen.
• Dungeon-Crawler: Dringe tiefer in den Berg vor und schalte acht Dungeons frei. In jedem erwarten dich einzigartige Spielmechaniken, freischaltbare Objekte und Geheimnisse.
• Über 20 einzigartige Gegenstände: Passe deinen Spielstil mit aufwertbaren Waffen und Kleidungsstücken an.
