Steam reviews

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 Review – Brutal Roguelike PMC with Cosmic Horror

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.
