  • Today I'm reviewing the newest game from Aeternum Game Studios. It's a 2d action roguelike which is available on PC and consoles. I played and recorded all the footage on an XBox Series X for this review, with a code provided by the developers.

    Summum Aeterna footage is my own, recorded on an XBox One X. Music is from the game's soundtrack.

    I love your reviews. You always cover what I want to know about a game and deliver it well.
    That being said, I should know better than to watch one of your reviews when I'm trying not to buy games. This is one that'll need to go on my wishlist.

    I was never attracted to roguelikes, the concept sounds bad to me. But I kept hearing nothing bit good things about Dead Cells and I decided to try it. I've been playing it for two years and don't think I'll stop any time soon. It's a game I play between games or whenever I just feel like it. I'm waiting for the price to drop a little to buy the version with the Castlevania crossover on physical disc.

    To the devs. Y’all suck! I wasted my money on Aeterna noctis when it first came out. It crashed so much on my ps4 that it was literally unplayable. They wouldn’t refund me. A lot of people have experienced the same thing. And to my knowledge, y’all still haven’t fixed the game. How about you make your first game playable, and fix it, before you come out with another gimme-more-money game!
    To anyone reading this, I’d check online if this new game by them crashes a lot or not before spending any money.

    They weren't supposed to emulate them, but move into the real world with saved games.

    this is by far the worst roguelike ive ever played. Good graphics, good movement, it had everything to be an incredible game but as always the devs wanted to show how "difficult" their games are and went above and beyond to make the initial grind absolutely ridiculoius. you're always weak at the start of every rogulike, thats part of the experience but summum aeterna is totaly unfair and you have to grind quite a bit just to get to the bare minimum so you can enjoy the game. I usualy buy games that i enjoy to suport the devs, but on this game im simply not buying it because i dont want to start all over from strach, the initial experience is so bad i never want to see this game again.

  • @PopstarDracula

    This game was a confusing mess. Why is the dude white haired when his portait is clearly black haired? Why does the tutorial explain the swords Y attack, but nothing anywhere explains any other? Why do I have a menu that's full of goals like 'kill X Y enemies' with no explanation at all on what this is? Achievements? Goals? Just for fun and rewarded? Why does it only have one resolution setting? Why is my guy being called a bad-ass immortal, but he's looks 3 inches tall when you see him near boss and the very first guy you meet can tank infinite hits from him, instantly making him look weak? The mc was super unlikeable, all he does is huff his own farts and he's not even consistent with that; at one point he says the chick he fights 'stood no chance', then all his other dialogue posits that she's a massive threat
    I wouldn't even say the progression "amount" is impressive or fun given just how much of this games progression is literally just stat padding. Outside of the weapons blacksmith upgrades there's basically nothing to care about upgrading, its just '+1% attack', '+2% to [mechanic I don't even know what it is]', etc
    Its really shocking this is the second game in this series yet its in this state
