Creature in the well has creatively mixed the Pinball genre with hack-n-slashers. But due to the overall simplistic design, the creativity doesn’t quite last long until the end. For those who wanted to try out something fresh, other than traditional dungeon crawlers, it’s definitely worth trying it out.

Overall, the art style, the esoteric story setup, the charming character work and genre mashup make it a worthwhile experience to at least dip into. If you love pinball games and dungeon monster beat ‘em ups, this will be in your wheelhouse and you may find yourself losing out to just “one more run” mentality.

If you like the premise, then you’ll probably still find some things to enjoy about the game. Just know that Creature in the Well is short and runs out of content and mechanics fairly early on.

There’s a lot of great games vying for your attention right now, but Creature in the Well shouldn’t be confined to the shadows like its namesake.

Creature in the Well combines unique fun gameplay from pinball and dungeon crawlers, but its plot is lackluster and the music is repetitive.
