Players asked the developers to postpone the release and refine 1348 Ex Voto, but an unfinished game was released on the market.
1348 Ex Voto was supposed to be an atmospheric adventure in medieval Italy. Players control Aeta, a young, brave noblewoman, and a wandering knight who embarks on a dangerous journey through the lands engulfed in chaos to find her friend Bianca (voiced by Jennifer English). The game was positioned as a third-person adventure action game with knightly battles and an investigation into the disappearance of a companion.
However, the first reviews and opinions of players were extremely negative. The game received 50% after 7 reviews on Opencritic, and the situation is no better on Steam - "mixed" reviews, about 52% positive reviews.
The main complaints concern poor optimization, technical problems, a simple and monotonous combat system, chaotic auto-targeting, and a superficial plot. Reviewers note that the project had an interesting idea and historical setting, but it was released too early and needs to be improved.
