Escape from the death castle

The game has a lot of potential but it's ruined by a broken saving system and a super bad RNG based fights You can save your current progress and leave the game then resume, but if you die the save delets itself and you have to restart the whole game (Kinda like the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth) I understand the point of a roguelike game, but what’s the point if you have to restart the game because of bugs ? Actually it’s not mentioned anywhere it’s roguelike, not even in the user tags, maybe that’s not intended (wild not so wild reach here) I had a save where I spent an hour or so on and wanted to resume but it kept freezing on the loading screen (corrupt save likely) so I had to restart the game all over, which for me wasn't worth the hassle The game also loops between 2 tracks every time you enter and leave a fight, which basically happens every 10 seconds. The songs aren't bad but they restart every time and there's a lot of enemies to fight so that becomes annoying pretty quickly Aside from that, the visuals are great and I can see the dev(s) put some efforts into them Sooo, yeah great game but a lot of annoying little details that makes it hard to enjoy Edit : The gam…

"Escape from the death castle" is a 2D retro pixel "roguelite" lightweight RPG with a dungeon crawling theme. I say theme, because there's no dungeon crawling exactly, the dungeon is a set of randomly generated nodes that you move between. This was originally (optimistically!) a paid product, but the developer made the noble decision to make this free. Unfortunately there's a plethora of problems, not least of which is the relatively shallow gameplay, especially for an RPG, which should have more depth. Just throwing stats around isn't enough. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. The developer was unable to come up with decent level design or game/story flow/plot, so they opted to try to use samey repetitive procgen as a substitute for adding content to the game. As a result, the game doesn't actually have any content worth mentioning, just samey algorithms. Developers mus…

[h1]Before I played Escape from the death castle, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

Cons -There is no progression in the game as nothing carries over from run to run. -RNG is too high with a lot of missing which makes the combat drag on. It simply isn't fun. -Saving does not work. Pros -Nice art and animation.
