From GameWatcher: "Beat 'em up Aeon Must Die impressed gamers with its stunning visuals when it was announced during August 2020's State of Play, but a series of accusations from former staff against developer Limestone Games cast a shadow over its reveal.
The group of people brought up "unbearable work conditions with endless crunch, harassment, abuse, corruption, and manipulation," while claiming that the studio had forced them to resign and had "covertly taken" the IP away from its rightful owner."
Darren writes: "Dazzling visuals, multiple storylines and one pretty cool protagonist are sadly not enough to compensate for the entertaining, but ultimately underwhelming, gameplay in Aeon Must Die."
XBA says: Very interesting ideas and a concept that never feels totally satisfying.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "There’s nothing more frustrating than a game with so much potential, a game oozing style, with such an awesome premise, ending up being a disappointment. Aeon Must Die had the looks, the sound, even the interesting concept for a neat combat system. Yet, it ended up being one of the most frustrating and repetitive beat ’em ups I’ve played in years. This is the quintessential “all style, no substance” kind of the game."
