Vambrace Cold Soul is another interesting experiment with genre mixing, in a Darkest Dungeon like setting but frozen solid. Artwork and music are downright amazing and the game should be played just to experience that. Only faults are with some random annoying bugs, no keyboard control changing, and a bit of a slow pace.
Vambrace is an interesting game with a nice story but with a bad interface and some difficulty spikes, especially in the first few hours.
A decent attempt at providing a compelling Darkest Dungeon-like game that stumbles due to the lack of combat depth and some balancing issues. The game is worth a try as soon as the developers have had a chance to tweak their formula.
Bloober respects the formula created in the original for this sequel, changing the scenario, but keeping its horror approach. That means a lot of linearity, repetitive resources and jump scares, but also a few lessons learned.
This is the definition of unfulfilled potential. Vambrace: Cold Soul may look competent at first, it may even spark your interest, but underneath its nice visual overcoat hides a bad story and unappetizing gameplay.
Sky-high ambition meets sub-par execution in this roguelike fantasy-epic. Vambrace: Cold Soul delivers a large helping of worldbuilding but fails to provide engaging gameplay to accompany it.
Vambrace: Cold Soul is a confused title that apparently wants to deliver a rich story and hard choices, but due to strange systems, exploitable mechanics and weightless characters, none of it feels consequential in any way.
