Lootbound

I came here to play a game that had been on my wishlist for quite some time and was really looking forward to it. I certainly didn't come here to pass judgment on the developers' alleged decision to buy positive reviews in exchange for copies of their game. TL;DR: It is shallow, lacks meaningful choices, lacks mechanics that makes rogue-like and inventory-management games fun or progression system that would keep each run unique and enjoyable. With that off my chest, I'll start with the positives: - I really dig the story and lore building of this world. Main characters and NPCs are very interesting, every single one of them, and I enjoyed every conversation between them (even though many of these conversations talk about same topic you might had with different characters in a previous runs, they just respond with slightly differently structured response). With each difficulty level, you unlock a small piece of the past of the individual main characters, it's nice touch, in my view, that encourages you to keep playing and try higher difficulty. - how this game handles end Bosses is very unique (I don't think i've seen anything similar to this) - Essentially, you build it yours…

Repetitive. Reruns are not fun. A lot is lacking for this game to be satisfying roguelike. The other negative reviews do a good job explaining this.

Looks good but gameplay is really repetative and there is only a little bit or even nothing to think about every run. Like the other Reviews said its really really really shallow.

While the gameplay isn't bad. It doesn't do anything to really grab me to keep coming back. Plus, it has now been found that Artdock was doing some shady botting of positive reviews, trying to bribe some buyers with steam wallet funds, etc. Disappointing.

Played the Demo, died a lot. Played the main game, died alot. Very hard game, youve got to be tactical about how you play. I suck at reviews, so this game is awesome if you have the patience to learn and get bent over every run :D

good game
