If you like the type of rogue-likes that you have to beat in one straight run, then this isn't a bad one. It is cheap feeling but it is a dollar so what did you expect? There is fun to be had but I can't get past how you don't get enough food and you will starve most of the time even if you're having a wonderful run. If there was dismemberment then maybe I would've stayed the course but my taste is already to refined to give this more time. If you spend your time fast and loose then go for it, you may have some fun.
Would've been nice to know there was a hunger mechanic before i just randomly started taking damage lol
i got this game on ps4 for free years ago. i honestly think it could be a really fun game, if it just wasnt so broken sometimes. for example, on ps4, whenever i get to the 4th area. using any wands, magic, or any kind of class ability will instantly crash my game. not to mention merely attacking one of the ogers in that area with something as small as a dagger will also crash the game. the only thing ive found that works is the telekentic push. and that is literally all of i have to defend myself if i want to survive. (unless i just skip by everything. but wheres the fun in that?)
I bought this game as a fan of games like King's Field, but this does not scratch the same itch. I love the artstyle and I can tell the devs put a lot of hard work into the project, but the combat is just bad. I hope they don't give up, though. Keep making stuff!
There are some things I would like fixed in the game. It's definitely a challenge, fun to play around in short bursts. Wait for sale to get money's worth. Decent, but needs work... https://youtu.be/VmFubrBM70U
