Hell Throne

Not for me. Someone recommended this as an alternative to Minecraft Dungeons - I would say other than being a top down action game, they are nothing alike. This game is slow, clunky and feels unpolished, despite the visuals looking nice. The UI is not to my taste and feels like a cheap mobile game. I barely got through the tutorial before getting bored - it's just no comparison to another action game like MCD or Hades. This won't scratch that itch for most, I'd wager. Nice idea, maybe it's for other people, but it's not for me.

think im qualified to review this. this game stole my heart as a 'what minecraft dungeons shouldve been' + some. youll get 50 hours of play out of this one (on the last stage as of review and you could farm for fun items too if you wanted to). i feel like this little game has heart. it starts out tough and gradually as you become powerful it becomes medium difficulty. eventually youll become powerful around which time you can farm the last level for loot for a few hours. i feel like its a standard 'good' roguelite and the torchlight menus and items are not only cute they are good and you will acquire good loot that should be a little random but usually somewhat powerful. i got a unique 1h sword and an epic shield my gear varied in quality but the sustain vs challenge of this game feels good. i feel like this games cute look is only to fool you. its a deep roguelite beyond that with a touch of forgiving soulslike hack and slash. i believe its worth its full price and i give this game 4.5/5 stars. its not perfect but it almost is and it is a bargain deal do not pass on this if you like roguelites. btw it has bullet hell aspects but it isnt bullet hell heavy. youre not go…

At this point in time, the game runs really well, and its smooth to play. It has a lot of fun ideas, and multiple strategies you can build for. What still needs work is the visibility, because a little later into the game and you can barely see what's what. The pace itself is a little slow to my liking, but that will of course vary from person to person. Overall the art style is nice, soundtrack is a little generic but it doesnt throw you off from the combat, and its optimised well.

I've enjoyed Hades and this little game scratches the itch. You're pushed through a gauntlet of arenas filled with enemies and trials from time to time. As this game is still being developed the voxel graphics could lead to changes in the arenas themselves. There is already friendly fire among the enemies. That being said work has to be done on clarity of game: definitely a better hit/getting hit feedback is needed, as situation gets really hectic on higher levels and enemies can melt down your hp in an instant.

At the moment Hell Throne is a promising roguelite dungeon crawler and looter. The meta upgrades are done with a in-game currency connected to beating bosses and stuff you gather on your way. The experience is polished but it lacks build diversity and bestiary. The bosses have really cool designs, the names don't make sense it's probably placeholder. I'm excited to see where this game will evolve, it works great ont the Steam Deck.

You know what? I am bad at this game but the game is fun. The graphic is pretty, and there is even a small progression system with items and upgrades.
