Rogue Night

Ok so the tooltip fox was neat but between that, the how to play at the start, and the early quests guiding me, I still feel like I was missing info, Namely: Why did I have a hunger penalty when I have plenty of food? Nothing including keybinds says anything about an eat button. What controls the enemies spawning in places? Because the in game tips say light/fire but neither that nor tiles seemed to entirely keep enemies out of my base or random houses. Do I have to do something specific to unlock the bow? Because I've passed at least 15 chests tied to balloons and have a tier two greatsword maxed but havent seen a bow yet. I get that most of the NPCs resource farm for you, but I have no idea what the engineer does, kinda expected him to unlock something but I built his blueprint board and power source and didn't notice a difference. Other complaints include enemies spawning out of bounds and generally getting lost in the world, I kept getting blocked off by the blue/green blocks that I think needed quests to proceed but the one place that spawned a quest seemed to be blocked off by more blocks. The game makes sure to tell you permadeath is the default and death is inte…

Terrible. Not for me.

Game is awesome. The upgrades, weapons, npcs, music, resource gathering and building are all really fun and complement the overall game. As more is added it'll become better but currently the way the game is it's very much worth the cost. I haven't beaten the game just yet but will be working on it as it's held my attention. The only thing I could ask for is Steamdeck support as these types of games are perfect in hand held imo.

Tried to like it. Too much nonsense. Still needs a lot of work. Enemies/skeletons can spawn right beside a brazier or camp fire. Zombies exist during the day in direct daylight(guess they are day walkers, I don't know)? Being that they can spawn in the camp, they can also 1 shot your campfire/crops giving you 0 time to react as you cannot reach(while waiting 3 days for crop growth) them in time a screen away. Besides building regular walls around it, not fences as I don't have the recipe. Either way, too annoyed to play further.

what a cool lil game man!

This game is such an awesome combination between Zelda style combat and base building survival gameplay (thankfully with no permadeath). While Rogue Night doesn't have the largest overworld map, the amount of exploration that is contained here is just fantastic. With several equipment upgrades, the workbench to build up your defenses and three different playstyles (classes), there is a ton of activities to do. The tutorial was helpful and I got the hang of slashing enemies pretty quickly. Collect those zombie heads, every little bit helps with surviving your next run! The ground tiles have clear borders to help with building out your base and the pixel art is very charming. If you have any interest in a Zelda like, crafting game with light RPG character statistics, then give this indie game a try. Rogue Night is a blast and is worth the time investment!
