Resumen de la comunidad

Texto original · InglésA first-person roguelite speed-climbing horror game where you grab ledges with left and right mouse buttons and ascend the vast SUB-STRUCTURE 17 while monsters, hazards and permadeath push you along.

Texto original · InglésPlayers love it: Steam lists it as Overwhelmingly Positive at about 98% of roughly 15,000 reviews (14,662 positive, 301 negative), and the review sample shows very high playtimes (many 60 to 400+ hours), which signals unusual stickiness. The tactile two-hand climbing, the horror atmosphere and a very high skill ceiling that feeds a speedrun community are the headline praise. It launched in Early Access on 17 April 2025 from Dark Machine Games and publisher DreadXP, and reviews from late 2025 into 2026 describe regular large content drops (new regions such as the Nest, an Endless mode, an elevator for skipping climbs). Formal critic coverage is thin: Metacritic shows only two early critic reviews without a score, and I could not find an OpenCritic page. The small negative camp mostly likes the core climbing but dislikes permadeath, lack of mid-run saves, RNG perks and harsh late-game enemies.

Lo que elogian los jugadores

  • Texto original · InglésClimbing feel: holding ledges with separate left and right mouse buttons feels tactile and physical, and players compare the immersion to Shadow of the Colossus-style grabbing
  • Texto original · InglésVery high skill ceiling; a first campaign clear can take an hour or more while top players finish in under 10 to 20 minutes, which drives heavy speedrun/competitive engagement
  • Texto original · InglésSweaty-palm tension: horror atmosphere, sound design and the constant risk of falling combine into genuine anxiety, with no easy respawn or checkpoint
  • Texto original · InglésEnvironments become more colorful and varied as you ascend, and a full-scale structure with no loading screens gives a strong sense of place
  • Texto original · InglésDepth layered under a simple premise: secret rooms, item caches, facility upgrades, artifacts, and lore people keep uncovering after the first clear
  • Texto original · InglésFrequent substantial content updates during Early Access (new regions, Endless mode, new perks/artifacts) keep long-time players returning
  • Texto original · InglésDistinctive dark humor and community in-jokes (roach currency at vending machines, a joke-review culture around the elevator), plus controller support although keyboard and mouse is widely considered best
  • Texto original · InglésCritics who covered early builds noted it was nearly bug-free for Early Access and had a motivating faster-and-longer loop
  • Texto original · InglésStreamer-driven word of mouth: several top reviews say they bought it after watching Jerma struggle with it, and many joke-reviews celebrate the clenching tension

Lo que critican los jugadores

  • Texto original · InglésPermadeath sends you back to the start of a long run; many negative reviewers say progress loss is soul-crushing and time-wasting, especially for new players
  • Texto original · InglésNo cheap mid-run save: saving and quitting is costly (bugs currency) or awkward, and floppy-disk backups only respawn you at the computer where you inserted them
  • Texto original · InglésLate-game areas (the Abyss, Hanging Gardens, later regions) are called brutally hard, with enemies like the flying head and harpoon barnacles criticised as frustrating or unfair on precarious terrain
  • Texto original · InglésHeavy trial-and-error: several reviewers describe the campaign as a series of knowledge checks, and deaths can feel like they come from RNG or ragdoll/enemy randomness rather than player error
  • Texto original · InglésPhysically demanding for long sessions; one older reviewer found the continuous intense mouse-and-keyboard input exhausting
  • Texto original · InglésGrab detection is seen by some as finicky (crosshair must sit on a hold for a moment), making recoveries inconsistent
  • Texto original · InglésRecent regions (the Nest) were criticised by a few high-hour players as repetitive, visually hard to read and thin on tile variety
  • Texto original · InglésRoguelike layer feels thin to some: perks are rarely offered and lackluster, so there is little power-growth excitement compared with other roguelikes

Características distintivas

  • Texto original · InglésA first-person climbing roguelite where your two hands are literally the core input, which almost no other game matches
  • Texto original · InglésRuns are a vertical ascent through a single continuous megastructure (SUB-STRUCTURE 17) rather than generic room-to-room levels
  • Texto original · InglésHorror that comes from physical exertion and fear of falling, not jump scares; chasing threats like the Mass force you to keep moving fast
  • Texto original · InglésSpeedrun-first design: a built-in timer, a competitive mode that trims the perk pool, and a community that clears the campaign in minutes
  • Texto original · InglésEndless mode with an Abyss section where players compete for altitude (one reviewer reports steady runs around 5000 m)
  • Texto original · InglésRoach/bug currency, vending machines, floppy-disk lives and computer respawn points as a quirky meta-layer

Opiniones divididas

  • Texto original · InglésRoguelite structure: fans see permadeath and randomness as the tension that makes it special, while several reviewers call it a great climbing game held back by being a roguelike
  • Texto original · InglésDifficulty of late-game and new content updates: hardcore players welcome the challenge, but some high-hour players say recent regions are overtuned or less fun than earlier builds
  • Texto original · InglésInput method and stress: some call it relaxing, others find it physically and mentally exhausting, and there is debate whether permanent progression and perks smooth or distort the skill challenge

Repetición y obstáculos

  • Texto original · InglésReplaying the same early regions every run because there are no real checkpoints is the most repeated complaint
  • Texto original · InglésLong time per run before reaching the next section, which punishes players with limited play time
  • Texto original · InglésLow-value or rarely offered perks can make early runs feel empty when RNG gives nothing useful
  • Texto original · InglésRage-inducing hazards in the Abyss and Hanging Gardens where enemies block or harpoon you mid-traverse
  • Texto original · InglésRepeated tile reuse in newer regions makes Endless mode feel like a slog to some veterans

Mejoras esperadas

  • Texto original · InglésAdd a casual/campaign mode with checkpoints or persistent progress so players can reach new areas without replaying old ones
  • Texto original · InglésMake saving and quitting mid-run cheaper and more accessible, or let floppy-disk backups be banked or transferred between computers
  • Texto original · InglésRebalance late-game enemies (Abyss and Hanging Gardens threats, harpoon barnacles) and reconsider the gun-driven last section
  • Texto original · InglésClean up or merge the perk pool so weak perks do not dilute runs, and make perk offers feel more impactful
  • Texto original · InglésImprove transparency of mechanics such as inventory weight and its effect on movement speed, and add clearer on-screen tutorials
  • Texto original · InglésCommonly requested extras: a relaxed zen/no-enemy mode, a level editor or workshop, and more cosmetic/collectible content

Texto original · InglésLaunched into Early Access on 17 April 2025 (Steam, Windows only, about $16.99 in local data) with a demo available, and the original roadmap cited about a year in Early Access with seven regions and extra modes. By 2026 Steam reviews mention multiple large content drops including the Nest region and Endless mode changes; the store listing in local data still shows the Early Access genre tag. Streamer exposure (for example Jerma and Spiff are named in Steam reviews) appears to have driven discovery. Steam-revenue-calculator.com estimates roughly $2.8M gross and $833K net revenue, but it appears to use an old review count (5,230), so this likely underestimates; SteamSpy in local data lists 100,000 to 200,000 owners. Metacritic shows only two early critic reviews (Try Hard Guides and Loot Level Chill) and no Metascore or user score. No OpenCritic page was found. I was unable to run web searches (session search budget exhausted) and could not read Reddit, so community detail relies on Steam reviews plus fetched pages; I could not verify exact patch names or dates.

Texto original · InglésTier list Part 4 (2025)

Texto original · InglésWhite Knuckle is a first-person horror climbing roguelike in early access, where you grab surfaces with left and right mouse buttons and climb out of a hellish place while a rising ooze chases you. He finds it very unique, intense and immersive, with a very high skill ceiling and a stressful, punishing feel. His main complaints are that it takes too long to reach its best content and that it lacks meta progression. He recommends it for players who want a hardcore experience and places it in A tier.

Lo que elogia el creador

  • Texto original · InglésHighly unique combination of climbing, horror and a Portal-like comedic radio voice
  • Texto original · InglésMinimalistic controls that are hard to master, giving a very high skill ceiling
  • Texto original · InglésMany varied biomes and hidden late-game areas he calls awesome
  • Texto original · InglésImmersive, spooky and intensely stressful atmosphere
  • Texto original · InglésLots of secrets and a strong community (debug world, terminal secret area), reminiscent of Inscryption
  • Texto original · InglésStamina and grip mechanics that reward experimentation
  • Texto original · InglésExtra roguelike game mode with more replayability

Problemas señalados por el creador

  • Texto original · InglésVery punishing: a big fall can end a long run, and runs take a long time
  • Texto original · InglésMost players never see the later biomes because of difficulty; it takes too long to get there
  • Texto original · InglésLittle meta progression; the shortcut system is so cruel it is not worth using
  • Texto original · InglésConsumables with hidden effects are unhelpful and mean in such a punishing game
  • Texto original · InglésFew passives, some much weaker than others; room layouts become repetitive once seen

Observaciones de diseño

  • Texto original · InglésFuses first-person climbing with horror and a Portal-like comedic radio narrator
  • Texto original · InglésCampaign is a fixed biome order with randomness only from picking room layouts from a library
  • Texto original · InglésHidden debug-world secret reachable via terminal commands found by the community

Texto original · InglésTop 10 of 2025 (#8)

Texto original · InglésWhite Knuckle is a first-person climbing horror roguelike where an unfortunate character tries to escape horrors by going ever upward. He calls it possibly the most unique game on his list, blending 3D platforming with horror. The mechanics are easy to grasp but have a very high skill ceiling, and the story mode is an excellent adventure. He admits it is the hardest to recommend because it is punishing and very stressful, but still suggests trying this stressful gem, especially in early access.

Lo que elogia el creador

  • Texto original · InglésMost unique game on the list, mixing 3D platforming and horror, two uncommon roguelike subgenres
  • Texto original · InglésSimple to understand but with an extremely high skill ceiling
  • Texto original · InglésDedicated community showing insane climbing speed is fun to watch
  • Texto original · InglésMain story mode is an incredible adventure
  • Texto original · InglésEach biome is unique, with its own disturbing and fun obstacles

Problemas señalados por el creador

  • Texto original · InglésVery punishing and possibly the most stressful roguelike he has played, which can be a pro or con
  • Texto original · InglésEarly section is constantly on the clock, leaving beginners little room to experiment and risking missing later highlights
  • Texto original · InglésEarly section differs wildly from the rest of the game
  • Texto original · InglésRoguelike elements are not the focal point
  • Texto original · InglésCommunity speed feats can be discouraging; content still thin in early access (wants more biomes, layouts, secrets, consumables, passives)

Observaciones de diseño

  • Texto original · InglésCombines 3D platforming and horror in a roguelike, a rare pairing
  • Texto original · InglésClimbing upward as the escape loop, with a high skill-ceiling movement core
