The Rogue of Nexus

A small game that has a lot to offer. I really liked the retro style but with an innovative twist, with some elements that catch the eye and are very pleasing overall. It's a gaming experience that is meant to be quick and intuitive before anything else, but still has its own inherent depth and complexity dictated mainly by the presence of the Hand, a nemesis perpetually on our trail. Time - and timing - constantly play a key role here. Especially the early stages of the game can seem a bit difficult and punishing, but I think it's quite usual for a roguelike. As far as I've seen to date I only point out a slight general balancing problem. In the moment that I'm writing the game has only the English language, but it remains enjoyable having little text. I close with a special mention for the atmosphere, which between game rhythm, musical accompaniment and settings I find really well done. The Rogue of Nexus, if experienced for what it is, can offer hours of fun (I would like to say lighthearted but I assure you it's not). A pleasant discovery at the right price.

The game would be perfect if it had gamepad support.
