Curse of Mermos is a free, lighthearted hack and slash game with fast paced action and challenging combat. Players wield the Hammer of Horus or shoot the Crossbow of Neith to defeat hordes of monsters in the tomb of Ebo. The game features unlock-able abilities and skill upgrades for personalized combat.
Fun little game. Nothing too fancy, but it's exactly what it advertises. If you have an hour to kill and like this kind of game I would reccommend it.
Edit: after looking at some of the negative reviews, I have no idea where they are coming from. I went back and tried to clip through all of the walls and gates and couldn't, and I played the first 15 or so waves with the mouse and keyboard and it's fine. Haters gonna...

Curse of Mermos is a truly free game. You play top down fighting waves of enemy's and collecting treasure and artifacts to further your objectives. The game is simple and challenging and I do enjoy it. I have no qualms about recommending it as it is a truly free game, its super simple, and really the only thing that I could even consider being a negative is that you will be better off playing it with a...

This game was fairly enjoyable if you have a controller or are willing to map decent controls with a 3rd party program to a "controller" a.k.a keyboard + mouse I enjoyed the games simplicity. It's a simple, easy-to-learn hack-and slash game. I'm not sure if it is endless or not (I got bored at around wave 30-35) The upgrading aspect was fun at first but after the 3rd upgrade or so it was just the same old because...

This game is really fun and challenging, a true indie gem. You play top-down, fighting waves of enemies. New enemies appear every few rounds, making it more challenging to finish a round.
There are really no downsides that I could find, the combat and the abilities are just in-depth enough to keep the game intriguing and fun until the end, and the controls and UI were very fluid and nice. Another thing that I really...

Quick Review of the game I've played so far.
Pros:
It was challenging at first.
It is controller compatible
Nice scenery for a free game.
Cons:
It was repetetive.
It is not optimized for keyboards.
Grinding souls is tedious.
You can clip through walls like a knife through warm butter.
Analysis:
The game starts you off in the tomb. That's it. There's dialogue, but nobody reads anymore. (amirite)
Apparently you're...

It's... okay... but overall, nothing in it stands out all to be picked out as excellent.
I have not played this game to completion, but that's mostly because it became boring after not too long.
Pros:
Decent and fitting graphics.
Small skill curve for immersion.
Progression long enough for several hours of gameplay.
Cons:
Semi-awkward control scheme.
Movement feels slightly unoptimized.
Bland gameplay - too...

Игра «Curse of Mermos» — атмосферное приключение с морской тематикой. Простой, но увлекательный геймплей сочетается с красивой графикой и загадочным сюжетом. Управление логичное, а головоломки требуют внимания. Однако диалоги местами сухие, а финал оставляет вопросы. Подойдет фанатам спокойных историй и исследований.

Competent, versatile, entertaining and actually free top-down shooter, with added brawling mechanisms and possible upgrades. Dodge 'n' shoot!

Just a disclaimer before I start off, I did not play this game for 11 hours, I left it open by accident, but I did spend about 2 to 3 hours on this game and I am liked it although there are some things about it that piss me off.
So, basicly it has a strong resemblance to Spiral Knights, which is also a free to play game on steam, although this one is only a single player game,
The game puts you in the depth of...
