It seems to me that they should change the name to ex-communicado

2026's "lesbian knight game," 1348 Ex Voto, is short on lesbians

1348 Ex Voto has been under fire for its "woke" protagonist since the demo dropped, but it turns out it actually isn't gay enough.

1348 Ex Voto Review: How Far Would You Go To Save The Ones You Larp?

Aeta's tale of confliced queer revenge has so much potential, but doesn't stick the landing.

www.thegamer.com

1348 Ex Voto should have been the game for me, but its stylish sword fights and strong premise were lost in poor performance and a weak storyline

After nearly 10 hours slashing foes with my longsword in 1348 Ex Voto, sadly, the game's dreadful PC performance couldn't save this experience

Well, it looks like if put a piece of turd with social pandering then it won't sell regardless. Color me suprised.

If you played the demo you'd know it's not. Game needed another year at least.

Demo was plain bad as a game even without the drama and culture war attached. Who is surprised?

Hollywood Hitman · 2026-03-12T15:49:57+0000

Hopefully 1349 will be the one

Another Xbox W avoiding this releasing on the platform.

StreetsofBeige · 2026-03-12T16:01:31+0000

The review score and sales are funny.

But dont laugh too much. A bunch of people got paid good money to make this junk for years. Another gaming grift.

And given the tone of the game, I wouldnt be surprised if the company leached government funding to make it. It happens sometimes for these kinds of games. So there's chance your tax dollars paid a bunch of people salaries for years to make it.

Pretty sure government funding helped make this "game". Sort of fraud. Definitely money poorly spent.

I think what's more important is if the 48 score is more or less than the hairs on her head.

Can you imagine being so oblivious working on a product for years that nobody wants?

Rocinante618 · 2026-03-12T17:17:38+0000

Demo was mediocre. It was basically go here, kill a few enemies ( fixed cam ), pick some food, repeat. Art was ok. Writing was shit especially after coming from KCD2. Performance was fine for me?

Makes you realise how much effort actually goes in making a good game ( KCD2 ).

Also kinda shame that everyone from any spectrum of political belief is going to focus on the part of the game that has zero impact on the gameplay or design. Irony is that the dev themselves did this for if they had released it without any of that "modern gaming" spin on a historical setting ( read as: dialogue is basically pop-culture GenZ lingo with a LGBTQ flavour ) I think it would have done better.

They could have done it in a much better way, like time travel to 21st century so you're fighting to save MCs sister ( Bianca ) across timelines. Would have been cool.

Also government funding is the very definition of "money made back is secondary".

How is that possible, mini-authoritarians said Steam had no moderation and it wasn't a "safe space" ???

remember depression quest... people were asking why some stupid text adventure game got so much write up in gaming press... then we found out why, and that kicked off gamergate

there's thousands of shitty indie games that come out a year on steam, why did this one get press? well it's obvious
