It simply lacks the depth, but I think it's forgiveable by such a budget title. (see bellow) Unfortunately the game gets eventually a bit dull after some hours spent in it and you usually keep going only to raise your level and find some new item. Except the enemies the room also contain "furniture" like coffins and crates, which I recommend to destroy, cause you might get stuck in them in middle of combat and enemies can corner you, plus there is a chance that they might drop ammo or powerups. Sometimes you need to find a key in order to continue, but it means cleaning a few more rooms into a other direction, until you eventually find what you searched for. Exceptions might be missions where you need to rescue a certain number of civilians, blasting trough the rooms and just focusing on the rescue can save some time and nerves. Very importantly - try not leave the room until is not cleared out entirely, cause the room will reset even if only one enemy remains and you need fight the horde once again. Except the boss level templars, they don't really represent any serious force and usually are trying to make up for the lack of their power with rather high numbers. The enemies vary from basic undead, flying bats to spiders and poison spitting fat zombies. Levels are generated randomly so you never know into what you go, but as long the level design regardless of the environment serves the same purprose, it doesn't really requires you some change in tactics or would surprise you in any way. The mechanics is exactly this - you basically go from room to room and clean them out from monsters. Our hero is easy to work with, which is definitely welcomed as combat always happens in cramped rooms. We are controlling a monster hunter looking guy from a birds perspective, which gives us a quite good overview trough combat. And for that it offers quite a few good things. The interesting in it is the extremly low price due the constant 90%-off price label, which puts it into the bellow 50 cents category. Larva Mortus is a typical example of a isometric budget shooter with semi-cartoonish graphics.
