Try Hard Guides’ Erik Hodges fights through a world shrouded in mystery with a review of VOIN, the hack-and-slash action RPG set in a dark fantasy world from solo developer Nikita Sozidar, and publisher tinyBuild, available on PC via Steam Early Access now!
“Combat in Voin is fast-paced, mechanically simple, and thrillingly brutal. Using a variety of weapons and powers, you hack and slash through hordes of enemies, most of which are quick to kill. This design allows you to experiment with the various effects in your build for exciting crowd control—or, more accurately, dismemberment. The game also features an intuitive dodge mechanic, where enemies flash yellow just before attacking, giving you the opportunity to avoid all incoming damage if your reflexes are sharp enough.”
“Even in its current Early Access state, Voin already offers plenty to enjoy. While I felt I mastered the combat and crafted a strong build within the first two hours, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The developer’s roadmap promises to expand on the already enjoyable experience, adding much more before the game’s full release.”
Born through the ancient magic of powerful sorcerers, an elemental servant known as VOIN becomes humanity’s only hope of saving the world from total destruction. Harness VOIN’s mage-granted gifts — martial prowess, powerful spellcasting combos, and the ability to soar the skies — and embark on a crusade to crush the demon-borne plague.
Wield powerful greatswords to carve through waves of wicked enemies in one massive swoop. Conjure primordial magic to snuff out attackers with a powerful gust of wind. Observe and adapt to enemy behavior, devise a strategy, and fell formidable bosses.
Venture across realms drenched in a dark fantasy allure, featuring breathtaking pixelated graphics that blend old-school aesthetics with modern appeal. Dash through decaying fields and leap through the sky with VOIN’s unique traversal moveset. Vault across waterfalls and ascend mountainous peaks to discover hidden areas and the precious loot within.
Morph into an ever-more formidable force by eliminating corrupted creatures and plundering their mighty weapons and powerful equipment. Purify gear at the hub world to enchant equipment and enhance VOIN’s skillset, learning devastating new attacks. Unlock entry into Boss Arenas, where the mightiest, cruelest threats await.
