"Magic Pot&ter Battlegrounds" isn't a game. With a lot of good will one might call it "my first Unity project" but that's certainly nothing to sell for 8 bucks on Steam, now is it? But that's exactly what HEDE* does all the time.

It starts badly with the game running in a 1024x768 window - and there's no resolution settings to be found anywhere. Hell, there are no settings to be found at all except for an always visible language dropdown that does nothing.

The controls are abysmal. The character can be controlled with W, A and D but not S - there's no "backwards" here. A and D don't really work either, the character will run where the camera points to.

The environment is visibly cobbled together from premade assets that don't really fit together. Apparently there's supposed to be PvP but there's none really because the Photon PUN2 implementation doesn't even connect to a server:

The Steam implementation is laughable as well. There are three achievements you'll get within the first five seconds, but the game constantly uses SteamUserStats.StoreStats() for no reason which is something Valve doesn't like at all.

Nothing here works properly. There's no game here, nothing to do except stagger around the assets like a drunken buffon thanks to the wonky controls.

The header artwork on Steam is stolen from https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-wise-wizard-hd-clothes-for-genesis-8-males (check the first picture) and the game files also contain another static picture taken from the store page of an Unity asset pack. No idea if it's actually used anywhere though.

Don't encourage HEDE to pollute the Steam store with even more of their trash and don't buy any of their games. If you already did try to get a refund - if need be link to this review as proof the game is false advertising (no multiplayer possible).


* Russian developer behind a bunch of absolutely abysmal "games". They tend to hide behind different dev/publisher names but their code gives them away. Check [urll=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41754370-Asset-Flip-Reviews/list/90371/]my list[/url] for more of their drivel.
