“Did I bounce off of "Miasma" after a little while? Yes. Do I think you should try it? Also yes. Some really nifty worldbuilding got done on this one, especially in the realm of "What would the mythology of America about…”
“This game has a brilliant atmosphere, the turn based combat is fun and challenging. The characters are rememberable and voice acting is quite good. Story is good but nothing really special.”

“Like their previous game, Mutant Year Zero, this is a good looking game, with a variety of environments, and it's a fun, turn-based strategy shooter along the lines of x-com. There's the depth of strategy you'd expect,…”

“This had been sitting on my wishlist for a while, but it was well worth the purchase. Definitely doesn't hold your hand after the first few levels, but also isn't impossibly difficult. A fun challenge, with a neat story.”

“Liked "Mutant Year Zero" already. Miasma is even better. Gameplay has enough depth for my taste, but it not overwhelming complicated. The voice actors are good, the dialogs are written straight forward which i like.…”
“Thumb to the side. Neat world, audio and visuals, but buggy and written like your average young adult novel. The voice acting was pretty good given the poor material they were using. The game kept crashing after a…”

“The controls and UI for this game is clunky and the NPC dialog is insufferable. It would probably be an ok game if it weren't for that.”

“Decent gameplay, but pretty bad story, complete with a nonsensical twist. The game is set up to sneak about and whittle down the enemies before engaging, which you can do through the middle of the game, but only just.…”

“Looks good, runs good, plays good. My only gripe is that they went very light on the rpg elements, and that was primarily what I wanted it for. It's a good game, it's just not what I wanted.”

“I was looking for something similar to Mutant Year Zero, and this seemed to be exactly what I wanted. Miasma Chronicles is really close to MYZ, but much, much bigger. I'd say the world is three times bigger, give or take. I really enjoyed it, but in many ways it takes some…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“This is a masterpiece in my opinion. It features an interesting and timely story, very good combat mechanics, progression, and balanced abilities... I hope the creators will produce many more games like this!”
— a player, Steam review · 86 hrs played“An incredible crash simulator! Thousands of ways to crash, all different, all fascinating. Will the game crash due to an Unreal Engine error? Or will you have to force it to shut down because a character is stuck? And the best part is that this game is honestly interesting…”
