Louma

⠀

"Louma" is a poorly made 2D retro pixel (ugh) roguelite "dungeon crawler"... and there's a lot to take offense with there, but let's focus on "dungeon crawler", which this is not, it's a top down brawler pretending to be an RPG. And shallow... wow. This comes across more like a tech demo than a real game. All you do here is fight the awful controls in a bunch of samey, repetitive procgen levels... no narrative, nothing enjoyable about it. There's some bosses to fight, but no reason to want to. 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. You're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality product, this comes across more as a delusion of grandeu…

For a free to play game, this was a fun game, challenging at times, love the various abilities each class has for some variation on what you want to play. solid game, maybe one day expand on this idea and game for a future game. Soundtrack is pretty good too.

If this game could break my knees it would

it's an alright dungeon crawler. Some big annoyance like the high damage of hazards compared to normal enemies or getting the artifacts and and the guy to unlock the boss is RNG. Or having a boss that encourages you to be slow and steady can heal himself

Fun game, sadly the repetitivness isn't my thing and gets boring quickly but I think it has potential,
