Subaeria is a title that has loads of potential but suffers from a mix of poorly implemented roguelite mechanics and bugs. At present ,it's not a title I can wholeheartedly recommend. However ,the issues mentioned can be patched out and hopefully soon as Subaeria has the potential to be a great action puzzler.

Critic reviews
- 4.1Subaeria could have been fun if it wasn’t for the atrocious loading times, the poor controls, the tedious hit detection and the awkward camera angle. The whole experience just screams of wasted potential, offering up a slapdash game in place of something more refined and better developed. Putting its decent art style to the side, Subaeria simply hasn’t been constructed well enough to merit a recommendation.
- Subaeria's gameplay accentuates what makes an action puzzler fun. While the initial camera angle is a little disorienting at first, especially when jumping, the use of a controller really gives the game a more cohesive feel. The music does get somewhat repetitive and having to start over at just about every single defeat can be exasperating after several playthroughs.
- 5.0Somewhere, deep in the heart of Subaeria, there is an exciting and action packed puzzle game. Unfortunately, just like the dystopian underwater world the game presents, it is so deeply submerged that you’d never see it from the surface. Rather than the deep blue ocean though, it is a roguelite structure that hides what works about Subaeria, rendering its achievements impotent with toxic pacing and progression issues. It’s a shame, as Subaeria showed promise.
- 7.8Un juego diferente a caso todo, que bebe de distintos géneros tratando de quedarse con lo mejor de cada uno de ellos. Por un lado tiene la historia profunda de un juego de rol, por otro la diversidad de situaciones y mecánicas de los mejores plataformas con puzles. Todo ello unido por un aspecto visual resultón, que nos recuerda a clásicos de los 90, y una banda sonora más que adecuada para la ambientación que se muestra. Sí, podría ser más ambicioso, largo o espectacular... Pero tampoco le hace falta para lo que es.
