Glaze Cup: Journey to the West is a fascinating attempt to reinterpret one of China's most iconic legends through the lens of a roguelike action game. Developed by Dark Dimension and published by Kunpan Games, the title avoids simply retelling the famous pilgrimage and instead explores the mythology surrounding the world before those events unfolded.

Gameplay revolves around side-scrolling combat mixed with roguelike progression, and it succeeds in keeping players engaged through a wide selection of abilities, upgrades, and combat styles. Battles are fluid and emphasize mobility, with enemies ranging from common supernatural creatures to imposing bosses inspired by mythological beings.
