Release Date: August 27, 2019
An independent action RPG with adventure game elements, inspired by such series as The Legend of Zelda and Dark Souls. Decay of Logos puts you in a fantasy world where family feuds of the royalty cause numerous problems to the rest of the realm. The player assumes the role of a young woman whose village gets destroyed by unidentified invaders wearing royal emblems on their armors.
Developed by the independent studio Amplify Creations, Decay of Logos for SWITCH, PC and etc. is an original mix of an action RPG and an adventure title. The creators drew inspiration not only from the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and Nordic folklore, but also from the productions by the Japanese studio Ghibli (Princess Mononoke) and the series like Dark Souls.
Decay of Logos takes the player to a classic fantasy world disrupted by endogenous problems. Just like the whole kingdom, the royal family lived a peaceful and decent life. The situation became complicated when the queen died during childbirth. The daughter that was born quickly became the apple of the king’s eye, and since her birth, he neglected his sons. Years ed, and the power-hungry sons started managing their lands.
This is when the player comes in. You assume the role of a young woman whose village gets ravaged by unidentified invaders. Being the only survivor, the girl seeks revenge and the only thing that can help her track the perpetrators is the royal emblem she saw on their armours. The protagonist travels North and thus sets out on a dangerous journey. Luckily, she is not alone, as she has Elk on her side – a mysterious being resembling a deer.
Decay of Logos released on SWITCH, PC and etc. utilises the third-person perspective. The village serves as a base from which you travel further into the fantasy world. By visiting particular areas, you reveal secrets they hide, find valuable items, and build relations with NPCs. The way you speak to them is important, as they will your behaviour, which may have consequences later in the journey.
Exploration is one of the most important aspects of the game. It is accompanied by many environmental puzzles – reaching different places requires cracking more or less complicated puzzles, finding a key, or cooperating with your bizarre friend. Initially, Elk distrusts the heroine, so you have to win his trust by feeding it and taking care of it. Over time, their relation strengthens, which translates into e.g. using the creature as a mount.
The production also features real-time combat. Defeating some of the opponents (especially gigantic bosses) takes both reflexes and tactical thinking. The girl is really flexible – she can dodge, vault, jump back, parry, and counterattack. Apart from melee weapons, you can make use of offensive and defensive spells.
The title introduces an extensive character development system – not only slaying enemies makes your statistics go up, but so does solving puzzles, and even finding well-hidden chests filled with treasures. Still, you need to that if hurt, the protagonist becomes weaker. In order to regain strength, you need to set up a camp, but keep in mind that even then she can be attacked.
Decay of Logos is an independent production powered by Unity. The 3D visuals are especially impressive due to the original, fairy style. The environment is colourful and very detailed, particularly lush vegetation.

Game Ratings for Decay of Logos Video Game.
Cubed3: 3 / 10
Yes, Decay of Logos is that bad. Underneath a generally good-looking bonnet, lies a pile of half-broken machinery, leaking tubes, and tangled circuitry. This soulslike has a lack of balance, is not very fun to play, and most importantly, is broken. The fact that almost three whole years after its initial release have ed, and the developer still hasn't fixed its many bugs, says a lot about the quality of this bad attempt at a budget Dark Souls.
Push Square: 7 / 10 by Jenny Jones
Decay of Logos is a game that's an absolute joy to get lost in. It's not going to hold your hand, and it expects you to indulge your curiosity by exploring hidden pathways and seeking out the land's dark secrets. While the combat can be quite tough, it feels much more accessible than games like the Souls series - it won't take too long before you're ducking and dodging like a pro.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 4 / 10 by Blake Grundman
There's still plenty of room for Decay of Logos to mature into a quality experience. However, it's hard to shake the feeling that with these many issues, it had no business being released at this point in time. Through diligent work and keeping a keen ear to the community, these missteps can be overcome. But really, the paying audience shouldn't have to be your QA team. Unless you are fond of the "early access" style of unpolished releases, you should absolutely steer clear of this cataclysmic clusterfuck.
