As someone who is INCREDIBLY familiar with Asyms, I can say that right now, the genre is doomed... Kind Of.

I myself am not only a Asym creator (kinda), and have been following the genre for about a year now, so have little doubt about this, yet still take all this with a grain of salt and form your own opinions. I am not a saint or right all the time. Now let’s get into this.

Constant drama, hypocrite developers, Toxic communities, all on the rise.

Lately a lot of bad things have been happening in the genre, Forsaken losing key developers, Romeo meatriding his own game, and general decline in fun at the moment. It feels like we’re in the dark ages of it right now. The genre feels very oversaturated now, with games being everywhere of ranging quality, which will most likely not go anywhere.

Forsaken has constant drama and ALWAYS hated. I feel extremely bad for the developers with everything going on, but it does not excuse the fact that they have been quite Bad with handling their game,

killers take months to release, only for them to be mediocre and unfun. Noli’s was release was Stupidly disappointing, a lot of his skins felt low quality, didn’t have milestones, obnoxious hallucinations And is unfun for playing as and against, and the developers have been doing nothing about it. Sixer isn’t as bad as noli, but he undoubtedly has the WORST looping problem in the game.

Outcome memories is a total mess, one of the worst asym games out there, but people refuse to admit it since they have nowhere else to go. The game isn’t fun for either sides and it just feels like a bullying tactic, and the maps are terribly designed.

the community is Absurdly horrible and hypocritical, Expect having toxic lobbies and Constant arguments about characters. Hating on forsaken like their situation isn’t worse. Not to mention, the games release being mediocre at best. Only one killer and ALL but one survivors having some way to stun the killer. It’s so bad, Nobody even has their exechance on, and half the round is spent bullying until the killer leaves, and there’s so many nitpicks to be said.

There are Some good asym games out there, Pillar chase being incomplete But still quite enjoyable with Less issues, Die of death being a blast most of the time, TSR being very old but still hanging on and quite fun.

but the majority is pretty bad. BIAST is badly balanced, horrible for new players and desperately tries to be a casual game. Reality compromised has basically the same issues with pretty much all rounds being impossible. Slendytubbies VS redux isn’t AS bad as a lot of these, but it is quite outdated and boring after a while.

But to end it off on a positive note,

DONT lose hope in asym games. There are so many good things coming our way we aren’t prepared for yet that are extremely exciting. PC2 recode and Suitmations, Exciting forsaken characters, Die of death Having promising future, V0.2, and The stalker Reborn remake. Not to mention the countless Asym games like devils dawn coming up. Even with all these problems, These games have Potential and I’m sure will eventually be a perfect experience someday, we will just have to wait.

also pls support my asym game concept I put a lot of effort into it 😢
