Time For The Demon Child To Come Play

By Tenna Kortly


Playing horror games was a thing i enjoyed, and usually I avoided this type of games, but in Lucius case I had to give it a shoot although the thought of killing people while playing an innocent 6 year old kid didn't really land on my positive side.

Keep in mind while going through this review that I'm not the usual play for these types of games, and if you are in a Halloween mind or just enjoy a horror game every know, and then you will probably enjoy this game.

Ok so after where done with proclaiming what I'm not and why I'm writing this lets begin with the game, Lucius starts with a cinematic when you see yourself (don't worry without the icky parts) born, and at the same time a deal with the devil is made, and up into your little innocent baby body crawls a demon spawn as the cinematic is down we find ourselves in the 6 year birthday of Little lucios, which by the way, has a scary ass face, on this day the devil approach Lluciuos and command him to kill.

You start your nice little demonic killing spree by locking up your nanny in the mention freezer. Doing this killing might be fun, but if you get caught out you will lose your cover of a lovely six-year-old kid who just listens to his parents, in many cases you will need to create a situation where the victim will die without you there.

Any puzzle needs the pieces to fit and in Lucius its not different as you go around killing people you need to maintain the little innocent boy act and therefor you will need to orchestrate the killing and make people die without you being there, however as you progress in the game you will also get some demonic powers to help you out.

The powers that you will get, will be granted to you by the devil obviously, and will grow stronger with every murder you perform, in the beginning you will get things like telekinesis powers with just the basic ability to shove things off tables, but as the games go on, and you get more powers you will soon find yourself shooting fireballs of your hands.

The game itself has a high level of details with an ok graphic nothing like Skyrim but still enough for this genre and if you consider the high details and the amount of items in the mansion the game gets a bundle of good points.

In my mind in order for a horror game to work is must give you that feeling of being on your toes all the time, Lucius does manage to make that work most of the time, but I did feel like the cut-sceens where a bit too much at times.

The highly level of details also come be and hurts the game in terms of long loading times as you move around the mansion, which can really annoy at times.

Although I don't really like horror games, I can really enjoy a good puzzle. The only problem with Lucius is the fact that there is only one way of solving the puzzle which is quite boring and also disappointing considering the great details the mansion have.

The game has a tendency to annoy me because the lack of in game clues and the fact that I can only perform my murder in one way.

The game was made by Shiver Games, and they did a pretty good job with it any fan of the genre will probably eat this game up, but if your new to this type of games or just looking for some Hallowen style games, I will recommend you will try other games before buying this one.
