Valor Mortis Receives 'Very Positive' Steam Reviews, Metacritic Score at 77

Summary

Valor Mortis, a unique first-person soulslike from One More Level (Ghostrunner), launched today. Set in a dark Napoleonic Europe, players control resurrected soldier William, exploring plague-ravaged cities, villages, and dungeons to uncover the truth behind a mysterious plague that turned Napoleon's army into monsters. Gameplay is essentially soulslike, with combat emphasizing parry and dodge timing, reminiscent of Sekiro, but presented in the rare first-person perspective. Early reviews are divided: Insider Gaming awarded 9/10, praising its fresh take on the genre as a 'generational leap for soulslike games,' highlighting challenging combat, first-person view, and dark atmosphere, but criticizing limited weapon variety and disappointing boss fights. GamesRadar+ was harsher, saying the game lacks new ideas beyond the perspective, with frustrating parkour, annoying boss mechanics, and technical issues like crashes and unstable framerates.

On Steam, player reception is 'Very Positive' with 82% of 203 reviews positive.
