Sep 25, 2018It looks beautiful and the atmosphere is wonderful but apart from this, it's just a horrible game. It's an unfinished prototype which needs serious redesign and many hours of further work, if you ever want to turn this into a good game.

Jun 16, 2022The graphics are meh. It's a safe stylized approach popularized by Fortnite. I'd like to see more creativity.
The soundtrack is great! Really the best part of the game.
Procedural generation is used as a crutch for boring game design.
Overall it's a safe venture into a market crowded with roguelikes, it could use some fresh ideas. There are better options and only so much time to play!

CD-ActionMay 30, 2016An experienced traveler will deal with the campaign in 2 hours tops, but gathering experience in a series of adventures in a randomly generated world is the most enjoyable thing here. The moments of triumph and fear that you will experience along the way are reasons enough to give this game a chance despite its many (but not severe) technical issues. [05/2016, p.42]

Apr 28, 2016The Flame in The Flood can be seen as a novel of formation nestled in a methapore that turns life into a river. Unfortunately Molasses Flood's first work tries to transmit a deep and manifold message with a not so deep and manifold messenger.

Games Master UKApr 25, 2016An impressive shake-up of survival tropes - but dedicated fans of the genre may be left wanting. [Apr 2016, p.74]
