About Agni: Village of Calamity
You play as Agni, an investigator from a covert Indonesian police unit who ignores orders to probe a remote village shrouded in danger. Developed by Separuh Interactive, this 2027 indie adventure blends stealth and mystery across PC and Xbox Series X|S. The game drops you into a single-player narrative where every choice matters. Set in a rural Indonesian village, it mixes environmental storytelling with tense encounters. You’ll navigate crumbling buildings, avoid hostile locals, and piece together clues about the village’s dark secrets. The elevator pitch: a stealth-heavy investigation where curiosity gets you killed if you’re not careful.
Gameplay
Agni relies on real-time stealth and puzzle-solving. You’ll crawl through tight spaces, use night-vision gear to avoid patrols, and pick locks to access restricted areas. Each mission starts with a goal, like recovering a file or interrogating a suspect, but you must balance speed with caution. Agni’s stamina meter forces timed dodges, and one missed step triggers combat you’re likely to lose. Dialogue choices influence NPC reactions, but brute force rarely works. Puzzles involve aligning symbols or decoding documents, often requiring backtracking once you gain new info. The camera lags slightly during quick turns, but the tight melee combat lets you take out enemies silently, if you time it right. Sessions average 2, 4 hours, with branching paths encouraging multiple playthroughs.
What Players Think
Agni holds a 4.3/5 on PlayPile, with 82% of critics calling it “ambitious but flawed.” The average playtime is 8.5 hours, and 67% of players complete the main story. Community moods split evenly: 45% describe it as “curious,” 30% as “tense,” and 25% as “frustrated” over clunky mechanics. Early reviews praise the atmospheric village design and moral dilemmas but note inconsistent enemy AI. One user wrote, “The lore hits hard, but the stamina meter feels like a gotcha.” Achievements (45 total) reward exploration, but 30% of players abandon the game before earning them. Criticized for uneven pacing, it still ranks in the top 10% of indie adventures for narrative depth.
PlayPile's Take
Agni: Village of Calamity is a polarizing but rewarding pick for stealth fans who prioritize story. At $39.99, it offers solid value if you tolerate its pacing hiccups and occasional technical stumbles. The 45 achievements add replayability, though completionists should budget 15+ hours. Skip this if you hate backtracking or need smooth combat. But if you’re intrigued by moral ambiguity and Southeast Asian folklore, the village’s secrets are worth the risk. Just don’t expect a flawless experience, this is a game that leans into its flaws as much as its strengths.
