After enjoying all 800 (Still Counting) of my hours playing this game, I think it’s finally time for me to write a review. Not only does this game offer a story, but includes puzzles, an amazing community, generated mazes, exclusive monsters and more. Strap in because this one is going to be a long one.
First off the story is quite confusing, but don’t let that keep you away from getting this game. There is lore scattered around, you just have to be prepared to find it. You go into the maze looking for a missing person, and find notes from an officer that went in before you. Somebody’s running around in the maze, and you soon find out there are monsters. It's far too late to turn back so you delve further into the maze. Each chapter has a unique setup, with different themes and new monsters! Each monster has a special mechanic that you have to learn through trial and error or by the notes scattered around. The story can take up to about 5 hours, if it's your first time playing! Although this may seem short, don’t worry because this game isn’t all about the story!
Case files make up what most of the community enjoys! Here you can roll for randomly generated cases, which will make a maze, with a random objective.Once you finish the objective you can escape with your life! By doing so you can earn Xp, and tickets! There are some level based cosmetics you can earn while playing these cases. There are also cosmetics you can find throughout the cases. Some are exclusive to the maps you are playing, while some are more common than others. Prepare to see lots of caps, and visors! The thrill of finding every cosmetic is what makes this game so enjoyable for completionists, and people looking for a cool outfit to wear! Some of the cosmetics are community made too!
The community of this game is one of the nicest gaming communities you will ever meet! Not only are the devs super interactive with their community, but they are always making sure to keep the Valko Discord a safe place! In the discord, there are always people giving away cosmetics they find, and helping each other find things they happen to be missing! During Holiday events the discord is super active, in finding, and giving away cosmetics, so definitely good to interact during then!
I’m definitely not going to call this the perfect game, it's not everybody's cup of tea. I find myself taking long breaks from this game, and coming back to it. It has its fair share of bugs too. The devs tend to fix those bugs quite consistently though! There are some things that need improvement, for example difficult monsters being on difficult maps. I think there needs to be a way to make private lobbies and being able to invite people without friending them through steam, to prevent kicking of low level players. It can be incredibly discouraging to be kicked as soon as you join a lobby, since mostly people are in discord talking. I think a change of the in game proximity chat would be nice too. Perhaps some way to communicate from far away, to make it easier to play with people outside of the discord. I also wish there was a way to make it easier to tell if a teammate is dead, for example a body on the floor, or some sort of blood puddle etc. etc. (As of right now it's just a floating name). Also there is a level 1000 cosmetic that I have yet to reach. It is absolutely RIDICULOUS. Please end my suffering. I blame MEEP. 200 more levels to go though, wish me luck!
Thank you so much Devs for being an awesome group, and continue to work hard! I look forward to your next game! PS. W.I.C.K.E.R.M.A.N.M.A.S.K Tanner Woman Whiskey Man Out.
