Evaluation

Decay of Logos launched on August 30, 2019 and received a series of patches through early 2020 addressing bugs, input issues, and platform compatibility. The last patch was a localization hotfix on March 17, 2020. On February 19, 2025, the developer posted a candid statement explaining that the game had not been profitable enough to fund continued updates or free DLC, that they had ended their publishing deal, and that they were making the game free to play on Steam rather than removing it. They explicitly stated that "the game is not capable of supporting continuous development of updates and free DLC." While they expressed hope for the franchise's future in a general sense, they made clear that active paid development has concluded. The game remains available on Steam at no cost, and paid versions are still sold on console platforms. No DLC was ever released or announced. No further content updates are expected based on the developer's own statements about financial constraints and the end of their publishing arrangement. The game launched as a complete, finished product and its post-launch patch activity concluded by March 2020.

About this game

Also available on PlayStation, Switch and Xbox.

Embark on a journey of revenge and betrayal set in motion by the destruction of our young adventurer's village at the hands of Crimson Knights. Find solace in your mystical elk companion as you battle the unforgiving foes that roam this once peaceful realm. Venture into ancient ruins and dungeons in search of their rewards in a quest to find the truth behind the attack of Ada’s home.

Take heed - there’s a dark and treacherous force at work in this world that corrupts even its inhabitants.

  • Third-person action/adventure RPG with an emphasis on player exploration and minimal hand-holding.

  • Challenging combat with high risk-reward battle system; various short and long-range weapons featuring different move sets, combos, and ancient magic.

  • Elk companion system; strengthen your bond with the mystical elk as you solve environmental puzzles and unravel sinister mysteries.

  • Deep lore and intricate voice-acted narrative that will leave you guessing until the end of your journey through the far-reaching ancestral high-fantasy world of Decay of Logos.

Her village destroyed, she traveled North with her elk companion hoping to find any clues about those who wronged her. You’ll start in the outskirts of the Laetus Grove, only to find that all is not what it seems - strange hostile dwellers with wooden bodies and vacant eyes now patrol this land...

Lock-on to enemies for a more tactical approach; parry, dodge and counter-attack while always keeping your stamina in check as you deliver deadly blows and combos. Prepare your battles ahead by using the elk's secondary inventory to store a variety of short and long range-weapons, defense gear, and potions.

Set in a far-reaching and interconnected semi-open world, you’ll explore a divided kingdom once ruled by a warring King. Tragedy struck when his beloved Queen died during childbirth - the royal family was irreversibly broken and the King’s sons drifted apart, each claiming a piece of the realm. Make your way through the lush woodland, the great Howling Rift, degraded swamps, ancestral grounds and many other unique locations.

You’ll travel alone with your companion, facing off the likes of giants and many other mystical foes while clearing the path by solving ancestral environmental puzzles. With a will of its own, and more than a mount, you must strengthen your bond by petting and feeding the elk before you can ride it. Ada will come across several charismatic NPC's along the way; fully voice acted, they're a good source of lore, guidance and items.

Decay of Logos invites player exploration with minimal hand-holding by using a minimalistic interface while relying on environmental cues and dialogue for guidance. Ada even displays all gear and items on her while animations reflect her physical state. Leveling is fully automated and based on your play style, Ada gains stats when you kill an enemy, activate a mechanism or even when finding a secret chest.
