    Batora: Lost Haven is both a hack n' slash and a twin stick shooter, depending on the enemies we have to face, and very often it is both genres mixed together. The main component of the game is the fighting system forcing you to frantically switch combat modes, but there is also an exciting story to follow, with charismatic partners and some moral choices that affect both plot development and character growth. A great isometric action RPG, with awesome boss battles and multiple endings to increase its longevity.

    Batora: Lost Haven is an intense and compelling journey for every fantasy lover, where choices come with consequences and you feel attached to Avril and her adventure.

    Batora: Lost Haven is a competent and mostly enjoyable action game. It has one big idea, the two natures of both Avril and her enemies, but never uses it in any truly unique ways. After a few hours, only the boss battles manage to break up the monotony. The puzzle element of the game is mostly filler. Avril and Mira make a good pair of protagonists but the rest of the narrative is not as exciting. Batora: Lost Haven needs to be more daring with its unique idea when it comes to both combat and puzzles.

    Overall, Batora: Lost Haven is a fun game, albeit with a few shortcomings. The dialogue and the cartoonish visuals appeal to a younger audience. Meanwhile, the detailed statistics and complex controls make it feel more mature. Are you a fan of sci-fi action games or isometric action RPGs in general? Then Batora: Lost Haven could be a worthwhile game to sink your teeth into.

    Batora: Lost Haven's biggest strength is that it is full of passion. Some of it's ideas, particularly with the story, fizzle out and are lost in the dark. Others, like the inventive combat and fleshed out worlds, are a joy to see and are beacons of light. It isn't for everyone but if it's for you and you meet the game with the right expectations, there is no doubt that you will have a good time.

    For a choice-driven experience, Bathora: Lost Haven leaves something to be desired. While it does do some clever things with the choice and duality themes, the experience falls somewhat flat due to excessive linearity, clunky and unsatisfying combat, and way too fast pacing that detracts from the emotional weight of some of the choices. The nice-looking visuals and the engaging puzzles that break the monotony of the experience and a few story beats make the experience enjoyable at times, but it could have been so much more.

    I come away from Batora: Lost Haven greatly disappointed. With tedious dialogue, a mediocre narrative, and thin gameplay structure, Batora is only salvaged by its adequate combat, respectable art, and a mercifully short runtime.

    This game is a true gem!
    Intriguing storylines, good old hack and slash combat, non linear progression and multiple choices, amazing art and    This game is a true gem!
    Intriguing storylines, good old hack and slash combat, non linear progression and multiple choices, amazing art and style, interplanetary melee fights… This are only few of the things to be loved in Batora Lost Haven.

    The game gives you a very good mix of action, exploration, puzzles and boss fights. The main character has a double nature, physical vs spiritual, that adds variety and fun to every fight and strategic move to be made. You can define your fighting style with the progression and improve it at every encounter, and the more you acquire skills the better it gets.

    The multiple choices systems sets the ground for longevity and replayability, a nice variety of environments, alien species and characters makes you enjoy the journey through all the planets of this beautifully crafted universe.

    Delightful for the eyes, pure joy as a game.
    Highly recommended!    … Expand
