What players say

Players say Veritus is a streamlined Zelda-like that strips away the overworld and focuses on dungeons, but many find it too linear and the equipment system frustrating. The writing is heavy on lore books and dialogue, which some say overwhelms the gameplay. Players split on whether the puzzles are satisfying, and several note awkward boss hitboxes. The pixel art and music are widely praised.
