Critic Reviews for The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is an entertaining co-op horror excursion that can sometimes feel a bit too oppressive.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a spectacular co-op horror game that can fool players using all manner of cunning tricks. It makes for a great game to enjoy with a dedicated group or with strangers, although the difficulty of the game gets in the way occasionally.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu isn’t a bad game by no means, I enjoyed my time with it. But it’s a game that’s built for multiplayer, and while players can enjoy it solo; I feel its at the sake of actually not experiencing all the game has to offer.
Strip away the fog, the ruins, and the booty, and what’s left is a gameplay loop so thin it barely qualifies as one.
suspect that despite its strides toward something a little more conventional, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu will still be something of an acquired taste for some, much like a great deal of ACE Team's back catalogue arguably has been. Sure enough it has a heap of jank and the combat isn't as satisfying as it should be, but The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu still represents the sort of resoundingly refreshing take on the extraction shooter that the genre continues to demand thanks to its brilliant use of madness mechanics that deftly elevate its online multiplayer experience.
The Mound is an intriguing mix of ideas, if nothing else, but even without the iffy gameplay, it eventually boils down to a repetitive slog.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu has heart and true terrors for those brave enough to play. It does not coddle its players, but offers a challenging, bone-chilling experience with a sense of satisfaction waiting for you back at the boat, if you are lucky enough to return.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is a tense and atmospheric romp into the jungle
