Critic Reviews for Mistover
Mistover follows too closely in the footsteps of a game that overshadows it in every possible way. Its combat is unspectacular and its dungeon-crawling suffers from a lack of atmosphere and a bunch of harsh gameplay systems that ensure you never really feel like you're relaxing into a rhythm, getting any sort of foothold or extracting any real or lasting joy from proceedings. If you're going to studiously pay homage to a game as expertly-crafted as Darkest Dungeon you'd best bring your A-game, and, unfortunately, in this instance, developer Krafton has failed to do that.
Mistover is a light-hearted take on the brutal gameplay of Darkest Dungeon.
While not a perfect affair, Mistover offers up a generous level of reward for the amount of risk needed to succeed in the game. Developing characters and collecting equipment make exploring each map that much more enticing. While risk isn't as big of a factor as it could be, and the amount of time needed to succeed is rather daunting, Mistover offers up an appealing formula all the same.
MISTOVER is an RPG that's fun in the beginning but quickly becomes repetitive. While there's a lot to do in the game, it's also a lot to learn.
You do not have to be the darkest dungeon, or write a great odyssey. Sometimes you just need to take lots of good ideas, and put them together in a way that works, to make something brilliant. If you want great strategy, Mistover should not be passed over.
Anyone looking for a more consistent or relaxed experience would do best to stay away, but there's still a worthwhile thrill for anyone willing to put in the time to get a truly great run going in Mistover.
Although far from being a perfect combination, with many of its ideas seeming incomplete, Mistover is an interesting and fun experience, with a very solid basic concept that will appeal to players eager for challenges.

I imagine that less patient gamers will dismiss Mistover but once you let it hook you, it's a tough RPG to put down.
