Leap of Fate

Sometimes it can be very annoying, still top notch roguelike game despite being and old game. Definitely worth the time and the money.

Leap of Fate is a fast-moving action roguelite from Clever Plays that blends cyberpunk style, supernatural themes, and intense twin-stick combat into a challenging experience centered around growth through repetition and mastery. Rather than focusing heavily on lengthy storytelling or traditional progression systems, the game builds its identity around speed, adaptability, and repeated attempts at conquering a dangerous mystical trial. The result is a stylish action title that combines futuristic technology and arcane powers in a world that feels both unusual and memorable. The setting presents a version of New York transformed by hidden magic and advanced technology existing side by side. Powerful individuals known as technomages operate within this dangerous world, balancing supernatural abilities with technological advancement. Players take control of one of four unique characters who must survive a brutal supernatural challenge known as the Crucible of Fates. This trial serves as both a test of skill and a deeply personal journey where participants confront fears, regrets, and internal struggles while pursuing power and understanding.

Really nice little Indie game

Still holds up tbh. Simple, fun, runs have good development but don't overstay their welcome, cool environments/themes. I don't want to oversell it - it's not a genre-defining game by any stretch, but it's very good if you don't mind the dated graphics. Speaking of which, the visuals really aren't much to look at by today's standards (or even when it came out, really) but the art style is nice, the voice acting isn't cheesy, and the game doesn't take itself too seriously which leads to it just being... fun. Something a lot of "modern games" seem to struggle with.

An action roguelike differentiated by a few unique mechanics (dash that teleports towards the mouse coursor, the ability to go back to stages you cleared to pick up the rewards you couldn't, such as heals), very tight, claustrophobic stages, high tempo, limited dashes/special attacks and an interesting, modern-occult-punk theme which is quite intriguing. If you're either an action roguelike fan or enjoy a setting and theme somewhere between Mage: the Ascension, EYE: Divine Cybermancy, Shadowrun and Secret World (with the caveat that there's not that much setting *material*, mostly vibes and snippets), I think you'll enjoy it!

the game has alot of promise. but there is two things that is mayor for me, atleast enough for me to not recommend it. 1. you dash towards your cursor and not where you direct the dash with your movement keys, atleast for keyboard and mouse. i.e if i hold down s+d, i would like to dash diagonally downwards. so i can shoot while dashing. 2. Last floor difficulty is just darker stage, so you cant see anything. i think taking away the players ability to see is just a poor game mechanic. there are better ways to up the difficulty.
