What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
.Forty-Five is a free roguelike deck-builder with an amazing core concept and engaging gameplay that impresses players considering its no-cost price tag, though it suffers from significant balance issues like drawing only two cards per turn instead of the typical five and a severe lack of card draw synergies that make progression frustrating. The game also has technical problems including buggy save points that don't work reliably, an unintuitive UI, and appears to be stalled in development despite player interest.
I found this cool rougelike game from Real Civil Engineer from years ago, and it so underrated HOW IS THIS A FREE GAME overall you should try it cuz the gameplay is amazing ngl1 found this helpful
the concept is amazing, but as is often the case, the execution of said concept is sadly lacking. there is an extremely good reason most roguelike deck builders have FIVE cards drawn at the start of each turn and not two. also there's practically zero cards that actually draw additional cards, and I somehow ended up only finding ONE card that allowed me to draw more cards. after playing for over an hour.1 found this helpful
epic
When I found out about this game, I was quite excited, and it actually met my expectations. Prior playing it was quite difficult, I got killed once before I knew the tactic. I played this game a year ago and stopped. I returned to the game and to my surprise it has not updated, still being "in development", but either way, I progressed further into the game, and I was disappointed. 1. Saving Points There's multiple saving points for your cards, when you "ran out of bullets" (the screen you see when you die), you return to the last saving point. I had already progressed to the second saving point, yet when I died, it returned me back to the first saving point. Funnily enough, i was shocked, and I went the town previous to the particular saving point, and when I decided to continue and went back, it teleport-ed me to the mid-section of the levels, which I was stuck with basic cards. When I made it out, the game crashed. The challenges I went through had to be done again, the cards acquired from the same challenge was somehow saved though. Once again I defeated the challenges, and the game yet again, crashed. This time, I had NO cards, out of curiosity, I went into a challenge, wh…
I really like the game. The only real feedback I could give is that, a more responsive and informative UI would make the game much more enjoyable, for me atleast.
how is this game free??? its so much fun i was stuck for a while within the first few fights but once i actually understood the mechanics i beat the game first try- wish there was more to it though. Amazing game 100% reccomend
