“It’s tough to say for sure who No Rest For The Wicked is for at the moment. It’s an odd mix of genres with an uneven balance.”

“While it has downsides and requires various quality-of-life fixes, No Rest for the Wicked has great potential to be an excellent blend of ARPGs and Soulslikes in 1.0.”

“No Rest for the Wicked is a game that truly deserves the label 'promising'. There is no denying the exceptional quality of its art and the quality of its action gameplay, but the negative experience caused by errors in numerical balance and system design completely undermine the excellent impression left by its other aspects.”

“However, all of the positives are groundwork for what could be a really exciting game. Its core gameplay has proven to be more than satisfactory and deliciously engaging, even if using slower builds feels like throwing yourself against a brick wall. But there’s still enjoyment in that. Overall, it’s a fantastic package comprised of gorgeous environments, room for experimentation in terms of character build and an interesting narrative. It will be interesting to see where No Rest for the Wicked ends up, even a week, month, or years from now.”

“No Rest for the Wicked isn't bad - in fact, there's so much potential in this mishmash of genres that it's worth keeping an eye on. At this stage, however, there are a lot of rough edges to smooth over.”

“Moon Studios is already well on its way to delivering a five-star game with challenging Soulslike combat, a dark fairy tale world, and an addictive gameplay loop.”

“No Rest for the Wicked is still in the early days of the update, but it tells you a lot about the developers, specifically how they listen to player feedback and how they are committed to improving the experience, a sight we all love to see. If you've been on the fence about the game or haven't really been in the loop since launch, now is the perfect time to step back in the pool to see what's new and what resonates with you.”

“A great first appearance for No Rest for the Wicked, especially on strong enough PCs. A beautiful, intriguing and mesmerising game that revels in supreme artistic vision while offering a gameplay style that mixes and merges the best of the genre into something quite unique. It’ll be really interesting to follow the future development of the game and to see where the stories will go over time. We can’t wait to experience further beautiful graphics and fun combat!”

“Announced a few months ago, No Rest for the Wicked is reminiscent of games like Diablo and Hades, and FromSoftware games, and also takes nice things from other series. It's not as cute and fluffy as Ori, but while the tone and atmosphere is significantly darker, you can see some similarities in the highly detailed, "painterly" graphics that I can't compare to any other game.”

“Though No Rest for the Wicked tested me to my limit, I adored every aspect. My only complaint, and I know I’ve left this late, is the inventory management system. With limited space and plenty of resources to gather, you quickly run out of space. When a game demands that you explore every nook and cranny, you expect it to be much better. However, I’m sure the developers will adjust this mechanic and improve the game further. Despite this issue, the rest of the action is fantastic! I cherished the brutal and precise combat, the varied weapons, and how balanced the gameplay is. The boss encounters are tough and will test your knowledge, patience, and skills. Moreover, the world is such a joy to explore. Accordingly, I love it and I recommend buying it here! Will you become a hero and save the day? Grab a weapon, explore the world, and banish the Pestilence.”
