Hero's Descent

"Hero's Descent" is a 2D retro pixelcrap (sigh) well-intentioned train wreck of a game... it's a contentless "speedrun" (and... when procgen is used instead of real content, speedrunning becomes meaningless because you can't "learn" the course) "dungeon crawler". Some interesting, but bad ideas, implemented badly. It's easy to see why this was a complete failure even after being converted to a free game. What do you do in the game? It's basically a ripoff of Hack/Rogue but with a time limit that nobody thought would be a good idea to add to Hack/Rogue. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and …

Fantastic game! I love the look and the soundtrack's great. The gameplay seems super basic and easy, except there's time pressure that makes it way too easy to rush and make mistakes. If you go too slow, you don't get rewards and stay weak. If you go too fast, you make mistakes and die. I haven't beaten the second boss yet, but I'm having a lot of fun dying to crappy little rats and slimes because I'm trying to rush faster than my skills allow. Highly, highly recommended. ----------- Edit after playing many more runs: There are quite a few bugs related to the red square that shows up when the enemies are going to attack. Pretty often it just doesn't show up, which will get you killed quite a few times before you memorize when it happens. The ones I know of: when you're standing in a doorframe, when you're standing in a square with bones, and the turn after the time freeze buff wears off. Sometimes you're just going to lose because the random terrain spawns make the level impossible. I've had webs block the path before with a monster on the other side, so if I walk into the web, I'm guaranteed to take more than enough damage to kill me while I'm stuck. I'm also pretty sure I …

Игра 'Hero's Descent' - это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре рогаликов. Подкупает оригинальный сеттинг, смесь фэнтези и стимпанка создает неповторимую атмосферу. Геймплей затягивает с первых минут, каждый забег уникален благодаря процедурно генерируемым уровням и огромному количеству предметов и способностей. Система классов хорошо продумана, каждый герой обладает своим уникальным стилем игры и стратегией, что добавляет реиграбельности. Боевая система динамичная и требует тактического мышления, а не простого "закликивания" противников. Разнообразие врагов радует, постоянно приходится адаптироваться к новым вызовам. Однако, игра не лишена недостатков. Иногда встречаются баги и небольшие недоработки в интерфейсе. Также, сложность на начальном этапе может отпугнуть некоторых игроков, но стоит перетерпеть, и игра щедро вознаградит за настойчивость. В целом, 'Hero's Descent' - это увлекательный и захватывающий рогалик, который определенно стоит вашего внимания, особенно если вы любите сложные, но rewarding игры. Рекомендую!

It's a really simple and fun game to play, I played very little of it, but that's because each run will take about 3 minutes if you go fast and keep dying like a fool, but yeah, It's hard, it's fun, quite challenging. But, to be honest, my only complaint is that at the 3rd area you have all the reasons to try and not go fast, you just have to go slow, and you still can easily die, just because it has random spawning treeants, ambush spiders and bats, aswell as ghosts and mimic chests, so, even when you think you're safe in a stage, you end up dying, but still, quite fun and fast-paced

[h1]Before I played Hero's Descent, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
