Necromancer For A Week

The pixel art is charming and the presentation is okay, but the game loop feels shallow and unrewarding. Even after only a few runs (Standard, Extreme, and Nomnomicon... plus a lot of afking), starting a new one feels like a promise of boredom. There are few ways to customize your run and the lack of in-battle variance effectively means that after seeing each monster’s moveset once, you’re just going through the motions (and wading through incredibly slow animations, even on the fastest speed), as everything is predictable. I believe the dev(s) tried to remedy this with the very unfun/uninteresting implementation of having half your team picked at random, but that just doubles down on the game being about making 1 of your monsters a hard-carry. The game is also extremely easy, as it appears to be balanced around not getting anything half-decent, so if you get even a crumb of a build, the run is over. The only thing to play around is the enemy that bricks abuse loop builds (by making all your stuff that costs 0 cost 1), but even that hard-counter is fairly easy to overcome. Also it seems like half the game punishes attacks, so poison slaughters everything.

What a lovely little game. It is pretty damn fun, if you like combo style rougelikes. Each run is about finding a combo that works with the creatures you have and being ready when you face a boss that counters it. While i can understand the negative reviews of getting bored with it i feel the boredom is mainly because the game needs more creatures or just more to do in it. Personally i think it is worth it but i can understand others not being into it. If it looks interesting to you its worth a shot. My time is a decent stand point for doing most of the achievements aside from harder difficulties

*Selects Casual difficulty* *Gets combo going* End fight: I am specifically built to deny this exact combo! *Dies* *Repeat* One day I'll get you, Gadget! One day!!!

Fun strategy roguelite. The mechanics are satisfying, and different from the run of the mill attacks and effects you usually see. It's a little slower paced than some similar games, but some of that may be me pondering choices too long. You definitely have to learn what works and what doesn't as a bad matchup (which is always perfectly visible when choosing your monsters) can definitely wreck you. You definitely want to diversify playstyles when picking monsters so you don't get countered, except the turtles are a soft gate on outright damage output. You would probably want to have at least one pair for raw damage anyway, but if you started with the tank and leaned into, say, DoT damage and blocking you might get hard countered by them. Most of the rest of the enemies are pretty well balanced assuming you have at least some options on your team.
