Netherworld Covenant

Netherworld Covenant is a game with clear intent and uneven execution. When its systems align, particularly in higher-difficulty combat, it delivers a tense, satisfying rhythm that rewards patience and learning. When they don’t, repetition, audio issues, and balance problems chip away at that momentum. Netherworld Covenant does not hold your hand, nor always respects your time, but it does offer moments of genuine strength and identity. Upgrades make you feel powerful without breaking the world entirely, and its visual style commits fully to its bleak fantasy. With refinement, particularly in sound design, map variety, and balance, Netherworld Covenant could stand taller among its inspirations. Thumb Culture Silver Award

Despite all these negatives, we should remember that the game is still in Early Access. This means the issues we see today could be improved in the future through updates. What is currently available already offers a decent experience, with a strong foundation that could make the game much better over time.
