Although it critically bombed (at least, it did as far as we're concerned), The Scourge Project was a nice idea wrapped up in pretty visuals and slow-cooked over smart gameplay. It was marred by some nasty game-breaking tech issues, and Tragnarion Studios is working hard to hash out whatever bugs they can.
Their second and most recent patch was released on Steam this week; if you were one of the many who bought the game in good faith, it should automatically update. If you haven't bought it yet, though, don't stop reading - until July 2nd you can pick up The Scourge Project for $4.99 USD (€4.99 / 4.99GBP) on Steam, thanks to Tragnarion's 10 Days Summer Sales Deal. No matter the game's reception here at Co-Optimus, five bucks is a tempting price for any game as stylish as this one.
Below are the full patch notes.
