“Really fun refreshing game. Coming from the devs of Ori, I had high expectations from this game and it exceeded them. The artstyle is unique and good looking. Graphics are good as well (like dynamic lighting etc).…”
“This game bops, super polished and of course beautiful. I always like playing a tank and being a tank feels great in this game. Clumsy in the right ways and the fact that you get access to the shoulder check is very…”

“Pros- -Pretty good hack and slash game with Base-upgrading elements as well as Character development giving the game not necessarily a replay value but longer Campaign time. -Great visuals, intriguing story, daily- and…”
“Amazing game. The combat is great, the npcs and story/dialogue is really intriguing and it draws you in time after time. The areas and the vibe that they pass on to you is just perfect i cant describe it. The story…”
“One of the best Souls-like ARPG game. Huge potential and devs know what they are doing. Atmosphere 10/10 visuals 10/10 story seems promising gameplay and mechanics high tier only problem i am having with this game is…”

“I dislike that there is no true healer class or support, such a good team/party based game. I like how the game scales with how many players are in the session. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”

“No Rest for the Wicked is a Souls-lite that’s genuinely fun to play. It leans “lite” because it’s not as punishing as traditional Souls-likes, especially with its difficulty options—whether you prefer something easier,…”
“Didn’t Expect This to Hook Me ....But It Did I’ve always been skeptical about soulslike games. To be honest, I’ve never finished one beforr..except Bloodborne. So I didn’t expect much going into this. But this game…”

“I played this game with my husband, but I have not enjoyed myself playing this game at all. It scores 0/10 for fun for me. You cannot play a decent archer in this game. The bow and arrow does very little damage compared…”
“Inventory management and grinding is taking all the fun away. When I go in a dungeon I want to be able to focus on the level and combat. It's that simple. I certainly do NOT appreciate constantly having to destroy items…”
“Don't bother. Devs haven't had a vision for the game in a long while and they are preparing to completely gut character progression for a new system. The last few patches have been nothing but nerfs. If you really want…”

“Overall good, and I will give it a recommend, however the loot and character "build variety" is severely lacking. The game feels like it's unsure if it wants to be an ARPG or Souls-like when it comes to the loot.”
— a player, Steam review · 32 hrs played“**Recommended, but read this before playing Early Access** A warning before you start playing the Early Access version: when the full game is released, your save will be wiped. That is the main reason why I am stopping after around 9 hours for now. As for the game itself, it…”
— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“The funny thing about this game is how two completely different realities coexist: on one side, players calling it a breathtaking work of art, and on the other, people begging the devs to stop burying great ideas under a mountain of grind. The world, atmosphere, and combat…”
