Koler

This game is still listed in early access, but seeing as the last update was around six months ago and it's now a year past its slated release date, I think it's safe to say that this is the final state of the game, which is pretty disappointing. I saw a bunch of other reviews mention trailers and youtube videos that brought them here, but I came into this blind. As far as I can tell, there's no story or even context behind anything you do in-game. The game consists of jumping into one of three themed worlds, ice, forest, or fire, and fighting enemies, and within the admittedly short time that I played there was nothing else to do. Without any sort of story to follow you would hope that the gameplay or atmosphere would step up to the plate, but those were disappointing as well. The themes all share the same enemies, so if you've played through one world you've played through them all. The levels are all procedurally generated, so none of them end up doing anything mechanically interesting. The dodge roll is clearly supposed to be a central mechanic; unless you find an ability, doing a perfect dodge roll is te only way to regen health outside of random item drops, and one of the …

No longer receives updates as of July 20, 2024 and is still quite jank to play. Abandoned game.

I actually really like this game! I was hooked in by the concept, then first thoughts I was pretty disappointed. My disappointment however did not last long, this game isn't perfect by any stretch of the word but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a ton of fun with it. The game is one of those games where it has good jank and unbalancing cause you have a lot of room to experiment and make really broken builds (once you unlock more spells and understand how the rune thingies work), but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ there is nothing like the roguelike/roguelite feeling of just having all the pieces click together and just making a op one shot build. I have not tried the multiplayer, but overall I think this game is solid and has the potential to be a 10/10 just needs more variety and content.

Honestly, this game isn't bad at all for your first game. I truly love the concept and idea of it. The concept of the color system and soul like rogue system is interesting. It felt good learning the system and there is a lot of potential in Koler. That being said, it is also very obvious that it is your first game due to some glaring janks. I think the camera jank is the most apparent one. In a fast pace and hectic game such as this one, you want the camera to be in full control of the player. At the moment, the camera is really wonky and feels floaty which reminds me of all the shovelware games that are made on Unreal Engine 3 or Unity. When one of the core function of the game doesn't feel good, it heavily affect the feel for the overall product. Character models, I think there is a lot of room for improvement. First thing I noticed was how inconsistent some enemies were. You have this cel-shaded anime-esqe looking world but the first few enemies you run into look like the player character from Dark Souls. I do love the design of some other enemies that gave me the Breath of the Wild Guardians. I think you should keep in line with those kind of models, even with fodders, so…

a very fun game with some(a lot) of jank but jank of potential, only thing though is Abandoned pretty sure it's Abandoned,
