Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards...
Notes
Inscryption is a quite recent game that relies a lot on graphics (arts, effects, lighting, …) for its ambiance, so porting it on our old beloved vita required some sacrifices.
Don’t expect the same graphics and performance as official versions, but I personally find the ambiance and game feel remains intact.
Considering the type of game, I tried to reach a frame rate around 15 fps, which was for me the right balance between comfort, graphics quality and cpu/ram usage. See for yourself the result in the video below.
If not yet done, support the dev by buying the game.
Sacrifices had to be made
- All shaders had to be rewritten for vita specs, so expect visual differences
- Textures resolution decreased
- Meshes (3D models) have been simplified for cpu and ram usage
- Some meshes were removed or replaced (for critical ones) because they were broken
- Some tricks were used to reach a decent frame rate (reduced field of view, shortened animations, hidden objects)
- Some languages were removed for ram usage : Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Turkish (sorry guys)
