Professional reviews from gaming critics
The unquiet dead are back and you must set things aright. It’s a tall order, I know, but we all have faith you can do it in this RPG action platformer. After all, you have your trusty sword and a can-do attitude!Read More
Watcher Chronicles is a great, challenging game with beautiful art and music. This is definitely a game for those who want to struggle against hard and difficult enemies and get that Dark Souls-like difficulty.
A solid title to start the year off with for those looking for a challenging new game!
Make no mistake, there’s not as much depth here as there is in most other Soulslikes. Mechanically it’s not particularly impressive, either. But the art style of Watcher Chronicles truly makes it stand out, and it’s perhaps one of the most forgiving entries in the genre, making it an ideal starting point. This is a solid, accessible Soulslike, then. Fun to play, at least until repetitiveness possibly sets in, but rather forgettable once you’re done with it.
Lured in by promises of combat and carnage in a 2D action Soulslike? Well, Watcher Chronicles delivers what it promises, but it doesn't go far out of its way to make the experience a worthwhile one.
