When No Rest for the Wicked was released in Early Access, there was excitement, bt it wasn't without issue. Initially, the game had a staggeringly unsteady frame rate and other technical issues — which is to be expected from a game in Early Access.
But developer Moon Studio has rolled out patch after patch, rectifying these issues and more or less changing the game over a series of weeks.
I had the opportunity to play No Rest for the Wicked in its earlier stages, marred by frame drops and freezes, and more recently, as the game itself has evened out.
And what I’ve found lies beneath is a game that blends the isometric and action RPG genres together in a tantalizing way that could shape up to be something exciting, even if it isn’t exactly original.
No Rest for the Wicked has the player assume the role of the Cerim — an ill-regarded warrior on their way to Isola Sacra, an island beset with a mysterious plague.
