Reviews
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
The experience and the games are quite original in some way or another so nice one. > HUB WORLD: The setting is so cool and had potential. At first it seemed it would be like the pervious ones, but you can access all the games after the intro/tutorial And then theres the story of the Bunker that makes you unlock all the facility, but its quite linear, so... Also the character cant sprint and makes the exploration a bit slow > AXIS MUNDI · Duration: Short. · Gameplay: Like a basic FPS, but hunting ghost with a camera, nice twist. The puzzles are kinda easy tho, would love to explore a bit more to find the clues. · Story: Very touching > UKTENA 64 👍 · Duration: Long. · Gameplay: Basic FPS Hunt, it just works (however I got stucked between trees and inside the final boss and had to restart two missions) · Story: Honestly, I LOVE everything that KIRA MAKES, the creepy aesthetics and the humor, yeahhh... > ROSE OF MEAT · Duration: Short but confusing at first, so it may take a bit to understand how to progress. · Gameplay: Like an FPS but weird??? · Story: Its just a fever dream or something, curious nonetheless. > SERAPHIXIAL · Duration: Short/Mid. · Gameplay: Its a super basic FPS, but everything is slow. It would be more challenging if there were ranged enemies or if they move more erratically. The feedback on shots are satisfaying tho. · Story: The setting its interesting, but the progression a bit confusing and slow. Didnt like the cheap jumpscares through the game. > BLACK RELIC · Duration: Short. · Gameplay: Its an interesting survival horror game, but the slow animations that makes you stay in place made it a bit boring. · Story: The Setting has potential. In the end it wont blow your mind, but its fine enough. > THE FRUIT 👍 · Duration: Medium. · Gameplay: Simple and Compact, but original in some mechanics and puzzles. More like a Survival than a FPS which I aprecciate. Played on medium difficulty and didnt had any troubles. · Story: Classic eldritch horror on a forest village, pretty straight forward, but it just works. > THE HOUSE OF UNREST · Duration: Short · Gameplay: Too Easy FPS with exploration elements. Not bad overall, but has its flaws. Didnt like the sliding of the character movement. The AI its too basic, maybe if there wasnt infinite ammo or the Fire Rate/Reload were slower would be a bit more challenging. · Story: An exorcist type story in a mansion, its cool an has its scary moments. That ending thoooo!

Overall a solid collection though of highly varying quality. Uktena 64 - 8/10 Another solid small game from Kira! I only wish that there was more as well as more nuances to the camera mechanics to be even more like it's inspiration: Pokemon Snap Axis Mundi - 6/10 Good atmosphere though the combat is a bit annoying and repetitive. The mystery aspect was much more interesting. Another game where it felt like there might have been a more full game originally intended but it was kept smaller. Not that I think a longer game would have necessarily improved the experience. Black Relic - 9/10 My favorite in the collection! Incredible aesthetics and decent gameplay. My only complaint is that the combat is a bit repetitive by the end but mostly does a good job at pacing the ramp up of combat mechanics and enemies. Rose of Meat - 5/10 I love a surrealist game but the combat - though an interesting mechanic - is inconsistent and annoying. I found myself just running away from enemies except in the parts of the game that forced me to fight something. The other problem is that because it starts with the weird at a 10, there's nowhere to really escalate from there so nothing feels particularly shocking or interesting after the opening. Seraphixial - 1/10 By far the worst in the series. The Combat is boring and repetitive, enemies are all bullet sponges, the art design is ugly and inconsistent in a bad way, the level design is boring hallways (including one that makes you walk down a literally rectangular walkway and then walk back), and the story is just nothing at all. Don't even waste your time on this one. The Fruit - 9/10 My second favorite in the collection! Great atmosphere and even though the world design is simple it still feels interesting with enough surprises and variety. The combat is a lot of fun too and the reload mechanic adds a lot to the experience and just when you start to get comfortable it adds in new mechanics in unexpected ways! My only complaint is that the combat at the end gets annoyingly difficult and I had to repeat areas many times to get through. The House of Unrest - 7/10 A solid short game by Szymanski! Just short enough to not overstay it's welcome on its simple combat and puzzles. Probably the most straightforward game of the series but that's all it needs to be. Meta-Narrative - 4/10 The atmosphere is great but the tasks are all time wasters that have you slowly plod back and forth across a generic "arctic research base." Not worth the time and annoyance.

Literally about Uktena 64, the Mini Game Inside this Collection and only about Uktena 64. (Better than everything in the whole collection) Spoilers, obviously. Uktena 64 needs a more fleshed out game, I want to know more to the story. Did that one person get turned into a wolf by the ringing like the note and the tracks imply or was that just a goofy idea that was left in the game? Also, who were these owls speaking to him? Why does the moon have an aura? Why exactly did that one person in the notes get thrown into some sort of trance, go to Galunlati, and bring back the seeds? (It's not stated he went to Galunlati, but it's an educated guess.) What exactly happened to the Rattlesnake, what was his outcome? What is this Transparent Crystal, shaped as a Cartridge Bullet, with the Blood Streak, Wrapped in a Deerskin, inside an Earthen jar, that is hidden away in a Cave? (This Krystal is only mentioned once like a few other things but I don't see it AT ALL in game, nor find any references to it in notes, or any other Krystals, nor do I find a Bullet.) Were we actually playing as the villain the entire time? He says strange things like "Is this a tree!?" "OH, HE THICC", "PUT. IT. IN. ME.", and "PERDY!" when we're taking pictures of the mutant animals after each hunt. Let's not forget when you take a picture of a bunch of corpses fused together in some unholy amalgamation due to that weird plant from the seeds. He states "Super Smokin' Style!" (Or a random one of his messed up catch phrases for what's happening in his current situation.) And before you witness the Corpses fused together he states "It smells like Barbecue in here!". He thinks the smell of rotting corpses smells like BBQ. This Redneck is obviously evil. But for some reason he feels shame after he fights the Uktena. (AND SAVES HIM) At the end he gets upset even though he didn't even kill it. I don't really understand why he was upset when he DID NOT KILL IT! He was literally just defending himself from the Uktena that was corrupted by the plants and he purified it, making it expel the plant bulb. (Unless of course I am right, and he is the villain of the game and he wanted to kill it or he's upset the plant bulb died.) (Unless of course there is some secret ending or missing book I cannot find no matter what I do, I cannot find anything hidden or a different ending. I also literally died from the plant even though I never consumed one, I should just die of starvation like the other dude if anything.) (I literally did not consume the plant cause I know IRL when you're out in the wild you do not eat random things, I also saw the people fused together so I was especially glad I never touched or ate the plant.) These books also make no sense! The humans turned a man into a snake, called him Uktena, the snake failed but for some reason the same snake "Uktena" who FAILED was mad for the Rattlesnake being sent? Also, where is "The Uktena Part 2"? I just beat Uktena without shooting the bulbs on Baya-Kin Difficulty. (I thought I was gonna get my secret ending I wanted.) (I DID NOT!) :( I basically love almost everything about Uktena 64 except the recital, it's way too big and causes MANY issue on Baya-Kin Difficulty. This mini game alone makes Dread X Collection worth it to me just from this little story inside it. (I don't care much about the rest, but look at my time most of it was spent in Uktena 64.)

A lot of bugs at times, I had to restart my game once or twice losing my progress, however there are some pretty good games in this collection. Honestly each one of them is interesting in it's own way and worth your time.

As someone who's favorite games of all time are almost exclusively shooters, I do recommend checking out this entry to the Dread X Collection series; however, I do gotta mention that the interactive launcher on this game is by far the buggiest one I ran into for the entire series. I still recommend it though since a lot of the bugs are fixed by just closing and re-opening the game.
