WTMG's Fernando da Costa: "Yurukill: The Calumniation Games is an ideal example of a murder mystery that isn’t innovative but has a compelling story. It may lack flesh on its bones, but the skeleton is sturdy. Despite some predictable plot beats, an equal amount subverts expectations by throwing in a slight twist. There’s a truckload of untapped potential here. Even now, I can’t help but fantasize about what could have been if all bets were off and the writes accepted gratuity. The talent for creating something brutal and exciting is in place. Why there’s such a reluctance to go full throttle is, ironically, a mystery in itself. It’s a journey blatantly geared towards teenagers and mature audiences. Regardless, the core question of if Sengoku had actually been framed tickled my curiosity."
"We reviewed plenty of excellent indie games in July so here are the 12 very best ones. Perhaps you'll see something that you like!" - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Yurukill brings together two very different genres in a satisfying way. Those two sides never quite manage to elevate each other, though.
Accused of a horrific crime you didn’t commit, you find yourself in Yurukill Land—a mysterious amusement park filled with life threatening attractions you must survive if you desire freedom.
