“Lighting fast, mechanical depth, a surprising ease of access, and a significant skill ceiling. It's pretty damn good, and there's not much like it. I'd say it's a diamond in the rough, but there's hardly anything rough…”
“In a nutshell, Mortal Sin is a dungeon crawling rougelite, and if you get good at it, it can be pretty damn fun. This is the kinda game that you don't want to put down; after half an hour, you'll be hooked. The…”

“I'll echo what a few other reviews have said, I have no clue how this has Overwhelmingly Positive reviews, this one really just didn't grab me. The little bit that I played of it just felt super bland and boring to me,…”
“Buy it if you like: - Roguelike or hack & slash games - Extremely fast paced games like Hotline Miami or Post Void - Dark fantasy art and iconography - Gore, blood and dismemberment Very cool game”
“This is an over the top roguelike that does better with the graphics/art than gameplay. I love the art. The gameplay though is way too repetitive and overzealous. The tutorial does a great job explaining core mechanics,…”

“11/10 Some of the most fun I’ve had with a roguelike in a long time. With so many "Roguelikes" feeling the same, this one really stands out. It builds on the genre with its own identity great atmosphere, occasional jump…”
“It's an amazing roguelike with really smooth combat and fun progression, I also love the many Berserk references.”

“Like the vibe of it and there are many different classes but it just becomes so repetitive and exhausting to play. Enemies just don't really differ from one another and the upgrades you get in runs aren't too impactful.…”
“its just okay like its kinda cool but you don't really have much need for any type of strategy. you could honestly probably beat this game drunk. wait for it to go on sale you'll probably get a game thats worth like 16…”

“I have it in my Favorites. I don't really like hack and slash games. But this one offers limb/head specific combos and tactics, which makes it play in between a hack and slash and a shooter in a way, which I liked. The…”
“The final boss makes me want to throw myself off a bridge, but this game is honestly so fun I can't bring myself to do it. I also might be bias because I have been really into roguelikes recently.”
“The game is good, but the game is really complicated to learn after the update that updated how combos work. Just know it has a bit of a learning curve because you have to learn combos.”

— a player, Steam review · 1 hrs played“This game cooks. Hard. Fast paced hack n slash (or shoot em up depending on the class) with a unique style and heaps of variation and replayability.
