What players say
Most players recommend this brutal, hard roguelike extraction game for its gameplay loop and customisation, but its poor explanations and unforgiving difficulty put many people off.
Many players praise the gameplay loop of taking a squad-free mercenary into a mission, grabbing loot, and extracting, along with the deep weapon, implant and build options and the dark, metal soundtrack. Many also say the game is very hard and unforgiving, with deaths that feel sudden and luck-driven, especially in harder missions and later in the campaign. Some complain that the game barely explains its systems, such as difficulty ratings, faction growth, travel time and economy, so players must learn by dying. Some reviewers call out unbalanced enemies, particularly shock weapons and enemies with area damage. Several players point out that the settings can soften the difficulty, which many recommend. Recent reviews are more negative and mention bugs, save corruption and a growing grind for upgrades, while the older, most helpful reviews are warmer.
Praised
- Tense mission gameplay loop
Players enjoy taking a single mercenary into missions, balancing loot greed against limited inventory space and extracting alive.
Many players - Dark metal soundtrack
Reviewers single out the music and atmosphere as a highlight, with metal tracks that build up as missions escalate.
Many players - Deep builds and customisation
Players praise the wide range of weapons, implants, pacts and clone classes that allow creative and sometimes overpowered builds.
Some players - Adjustable difficulty settings
Players note that options for damage, hunger, inventory and loss penalties let them tune the game to their taste.
Some players
Criticised
- Almost no explanation of systems
Players say key mechanics such as mission difficulty, faction growth, travel time, economy and UI are left unexplained, forcing trial and error.
Many players - Harsh, luck-driven difficulty
Players find deaths sudden and often caused by bad luck, with mission difficulty jumping sharply between similar-looking missions.
Many players - Unbalanced enemies and weapons
Reviewers say shock weapons, area-damage enemies and sudden one-shot kills make fights feel unfair and luck-based.
Some players - Recent bugs and save problems
Recent reviews report a corrupted save, game-breaking choices and a growing grind for upgrades, lowering recent player opinion.
Some players
- Who it suits
- Players who enjoy hard, punishing roguelikes, tactical resource management and experimenting with builds, and who are willing to learn systems through trial and error.
- Who should skip it
- Players who want a casual experience, dislike sudden deaths and luck-heavy missions, or are put off by a lack of in-game explanation.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours tend to praise the depth and customisation, while newer players more often complain about the lack of explanation and the harsh early difficulty.

Quasimorph is a raw, brilliant and often cruel game: a must-play for fans of tactical extraction shooters and punishing roguelikes, but not for the faint of heart.
