The best horror games are the ones that mix impossible things to challenge and entertain audiences with easily possible scenarios that can trigger our deepest fears. dolmens is one of those games. It’s a Souls-like action RPG that’s considered challenging even for seasoned players, but with a sci-fi story based on the premise that humans will alter themselves, both genetically and with augments, to be more suitable are going to colonize space. Zoan Corp, one of the space exploration companies, hired the modified humans called Drillers to colonize Revion Prime. Things went wrong, as always happens in a good horror game, and Zoan Corp wakes up the player to protect the company’s interests and investments without showing any remorse for what happened to the deceased employees.
As the story unfolds, the player becomes aware of the voracious details that took place in Revion Prime to develop the dolmen crystals and their interdimensional properties. After all, evil, resentment and arrogance are found in all multiverses.
Through the game design, there are dozens of melee and ranged weapons that can be crafted using different materials to change their stats. There are armors to upgrade three different types of technologies, improve the character’s combat skills, an elemental system that can be exploited to defeat enemies more easily, attributes and much more. Gathering materials and crafting better gear can be the best strategy for those unfamiliar with the harsh experience that a Souls-like game can be, but are the late enemies even with full gear dolmens
Overall, the environment and level design tries to keep the player’s senses alert, which adds to the sci-fi horror feel as there are few safe spots in the adventure and the combat uses nothing short of menacing creatures throughout. After 12 or more hours of playing, we experienced a good horror atmosphere and the thrill of trying to restore the timeline where we didn’t die. It takes some time to master all the mechanics like the elemental system and the new “energy mode”, but the challenge is part of the fun when we’re talking about soul-like things.
dolmens coming soon to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. It is optimized for Xbox Series X|S with Smart Delivery support.
