2.0 is a brand new game. While good, I still miss 1.3. I wish 1.3 was available in the main menu as an "arcade mode" or something like that while, 2.0 would be story mode. 1.3 was just choose a class and climb the mountain, pretty straightforward and great for speedruns. 2.0 has so much added to it and is fantastic, but absolutely destroyed the fun of runs. I believe both could coexist, but regardless, Insurmountable in any version is worth checking out.

A nice roguelite(-ke, depends on the difficulty level) about climbing mountains (with some sci-fi elements), in which I spent WAY more time that it deserves, but nonetheless is quite good. The gameplay sequence is to climb a randomly generated map of a mountain (with some basic forms, so its not possible to get a non-passable level) in a form of hexes with different types of terrains, using resource management (you have 5 resources, sanity, warmth, oxygen, energy and health), and interacting with encounters. The game is turnbased, where walking over 1 hex is 1 turn, but you can plan your route and just press the button to walk a section (especially usefull before dropping down in deep pits, because its kinda difficult to deceide a route direction with no surroundings vision). Positives : + music; nice atmosphere of loneliness and preservation + randomness; unlike xcom rarely tries to kill you with its random events, but shit happens sometimes + replayability; 3 characters have different builds, that gives a lot of replayability (unless you choose to stick with something that works, but I found that all 3 have viable skills for max diff) + overcoming; the game gives enough challenge to get the "overcoming this shit" experience, without even having enemies (well, you can think that the mountain itself is your enemy, lol) Negatives: - some functional bugs (when the character stuck in the texture and cant move - just relogin) - permadeath (its not the negative itself, but its brutal and the game does not warn you about it) - minor balance issues - some skills are just useless on high difficulties, or i just coundnt find a place to fit them in my build - luck as a factor; if you prefer games where you control everything - this one is just not for you. - grindy achievements (winning on max diff does not give you all lower diff completion achievements) Nice game for 15-20 hours of value, good with a discount

May 2024

I wholeheartedly recommend it because it's a very unique approach to roguelike games. HOWEVER, it desperately needs full controller support (now that it has been released on consoles I really hope it's a matter of time before the PC version gets updated) because I would love to take it on the go with my Steam Deck but as of right now playing on the SD is not as smooth of an experience as it is with Mouse and Keyboard. Playing on PC I have zero complaints; the game can spin between a leisurely climb to hanging to life by a thread because you made a bad decision.

April 2024

This game feels like a love letter to old school text adventure games with an updated modern treatment. It feels akin to a few mountaineering board games out there. If you like chill relaxing games, if you like exploration and discovery, love climbing or mountaineering, are capable of suspending your disbelief a little, and know how to remap keybindings, then this game might be for you. If you’re only a modern gamer who expects out of the box perfection and doesn’t like to tinker or doesn’t like game mechanics that go beyond surface levels and maybe aren’t super obvious, maybe go watch someone play it on Twitch or YouTube first. Like many resource management and survival games, there is a little bit of a learning curve. Is it a little rough around the edges? Maybe, but as someone who’s gamed for 30+ years, there’s a certain charm that accompanies games like this that remind me of those quirky games from bygone years. Text adventure and exploration driven gameplay married with survival and resource management, makes for a unique and novel experience that I have yet to see especially for mountaineering. The biggest complaint: The camera was difficult to manage before I remapped the keybindings to better suit my steam deck/gamepad. That was 90% of the wonkiness though. Like any game, once orientated to the controls and gameplay loop, Everything was smooth sailing. Perhaps even on the easy side. However, as I progressed through the game, the difficulty level did improve. Careful planning is needed in order to navigate the terrain and achieve mission goals. I am def fan of these developers: I always check out their Pax East booth each year. They always seem to have some fun concept game going and I remember seeing this one a few years back. For a sale price of $4.99, there’s really not much to complain about. I’m 3 missions in at the time of initial review and will update if anything relevant comes up.

April 2024

After a grueling series of consecutive summits, low on oxygen and supplies, injured, delirious and disorientated, I summit the last peak, knowing that I won't have the energy or tools needed to make the climb back down to base level. I hope for some kind of miracle to get me off this bloody rock, but no miracle comes, and, as the cut-scene starts, and the camera pans away, I know that my character died on that summit, cold and alone, just as the sun rises over the clouds below.
