Parallel Dungeons

You should not go to this if you want graphics or an interface that doesn't feel like a prototype (completely adequate). Or, heaven forbid, a story. You should be interested if you want some fresh mechanics in a rogue wrapper. The bars represent different universes - and so if you play a card that does 2 damage it will reduce the enemy HP in each universe by 2. If you play a card that has a 50% chance of doing 1-5, well, you get the picture. When your bar in a universe is reduced to 0 you lose that universe - when your opponents bar goes to zero you win that universe. If you survive in a single universe you continue - and get an extra universe - but the losses you got are permanent and the HP in a universe remains. Between rounds you can heal up a bit and buy some cards - your money depends on how many universes you survive with. This is not complex, but gives a lot of unique play; a card that does 2 damage in a normal game is generally boring - and here it plays differently depending on the states of all your different universes. I haven't played enough to see if the game maintain interest and exploresd the territory it has introduced, but the first three characters you play ar…

Fun little game, with a neat premise for its core gameplay. Really looking forward what the dev comes up next!

It's got some cool mechanics and lo-fi vibes, but ultimately the gameplay's just not very engaging. A lot of my runs suffered from heavy RNG-grind, and the benchmarks feel unclear on whether I was playing to eke by or dominate a score attack. It also feels a little repetitive and undercooked, like if the dev ran an indie studio could have a team workshop this idea further, polish, and test before some parasite will invariably come along and crib it anyway. I'm a fan of this dev's other games, and this one isn't necessarily bad, there's just dozens of deckbuilding roguelikes on the market that do it better.

Super clever premise for a roguelike! There are so many cards and abilities that play on the parallel worlds mechanic in interesting ways. Would definitely recommend!

Can already tell that it's very fun
