Baalzebub

[h3]Pros:[/h3] [list] [*] basic rouge-like dungeon crawler [*] it has some graphics [*] runs on a potato [*] grind [/list] [h3]Cons:[/h3] [list] [*] no diagonal movement [*] lacks depth [*] feels like a mobile app [*] grind [/list] It's not a bad game but there are free rouge-likes with better gameplay and more complex systems. I got to the 3rd level on the 1st try in about an hour and that got me the 3rd place in a world-wide ranking. I didn't feel compelled to try again. It might be because I know the genre and I'm pretty sure my playthrough was around 80% of my max skill. There are no in-game skills and I respawned with no items so the only thing I could change on my 2nd run was to [i]"git gud"[/i] but even if I managed to play better I wasn't interested in more of the same repetitive content. On the subject of repetition, I highly recommend disabling music ASAP. SFX is okay. In the end I died due to walking. It first depleted my stamina then life (which is a good mechanic) while I had no more food, potions or scrolls and there were none in sight (which is a mediocre outcome since I was using resources in a rather restrictive manner). The only resource I never needed was mana…

finally i found a Roguelike that actually plays like Rogue.. don't get me wrong, i love the Bullet-Hell stuff that's taken over the scene, but i always wanted to see what a pure Roguelike would look like with actual graphics instead of ASCII.. i wouldn't necessarily spend as many hours in this as other games i play, but i'd say this is a pretty good adaptation of Rogue..

Suggestions: 1. The music is too repetitive. Needs to change up more. 2. Too easy to get lost because all the walls look the same. Need more wall designs. 3. Remove stamina, that is just no fun. 4. The map is huge and I was just lost and gave up before I even found level 2. This is why you need more wall designs. Needs something that informs where the exit is or something that informs the user what direction to go. Since it is hell you could have a temperature bar that shows that it is getting hotter. 5. I couldn't figure out how to use magic, need to inform user on how to do that.

"Baalzebub" is a trashy low quality mobile app that was dumped on Steam as a cash grab. It's basically a ripoff of Hack/Rogue but with shallower, less interesting gameplay. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs to pretend they're mobile phones or Commodore 64s. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $$0.99 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get …

Baalzebub takes a familiar demonic figure and injects a surprising dose of complexity. Baalzebub is portrayed as a character with more nuanced motivations, making his interactions with others intriguing. It's a turn-based dungeon crawler, which can be a fun genre for strategy enthusiasts and seems to have taken others' interest as well with the other reviews that have been (mostly) all positive. If you're looking for something different and enjoy a good reinterpretation of a familiar character, Baalzebub could be worth a try. Just be aware that it does feel clunky with the controls; this plays almost like an old Flash Game from Addictinggames.com to me.
