Valor Mortis review highlights satisfying combat but notes first-person view issues
TechRadar reviewed Valor Mortis from developer One More Level and found the parry-focused gameplay satisfying despite some clunkiness caused by the first-person perspective.
Combat mechanics receive praise
The game features tight and satisfying combat that delights fans of Sekiro and Lies of P. Timing a deflection to perfection triggers an impactful audio cue before a devastating finishing move follows.
Visuals and atmosphere stand out
Developers have created a gloomy atmosphere with gruesome world designs and unique creature models. The setting includes duels against reanimated corpses of Napoleonic soldiers alongside body horror monstrosities.
First-person perspective creates problems
Restrictions of the first-person view make some encounters feel clunky or irritating for players. An obsession with trickery and traps also adds to the frustration in certain environments.
