  Vaporum is a “Steampunk Dungeon Crawler” with a hidden mystery lying underneath the strange laboratory of mechanical creatures out to destroy you. I recommend this game to anyone looking to play a game with collecting, puzzle solving, and combat.

  Vaporum has a good, mysterious atmosphere that keeps you going most of the time. Despite it not being as complex as it could have been in its level design, the combat options and a couple of puzzles offer enough entertainment. The controls, lack of autosave and fighting motions are more annoying but not as much that they withhold you from having fun or actually finishing a proper playthrough. It’s a decent game that could keep you busy for at least a while.

  The lack of a party to control is a bit of a shame as it would further spice up the pause mode combat system with more than one character in the game, and a lot of the bosses were more bullet sponges than strategic puzzles, but still this is a game that does far more right than wrong. Even in a time like this, where quality RPG experiences of all types are just falling from the sky, Vaporum is not one to miss.

  As a full package, Vaporum is pretty great. A well polished and challenging dungeon crawler set within an exciting world. Although the controls can sometimes be a bit of a pain for the console editions, we see so few games in this genre today that the minor headaches are worth struggling through.

  If you’re a steampunk aficionado then Vaporum will doubtless hold some appeal for you; it’s smartly presented and tells a tantalisingly haunting tale of man’s folly. But for those who aren’t as taken with steam power, Vaporum is a rather average dungeon crawler.

  If this is a genre you remember with fondness, Vaporum is certainly a solid throwback. If you want to slow things down a bit and enjoy a change of pace with your games, you could do a lot worse than booting this one up. Overall, however, the way to play a game like this is on a PC if you have the option. There's good stuff here, but there is a much better way to experience it.
