NET.CRAWL

What if Slay the Spire was a Broughlike. If you are into the genre, this is a very good twist; if you are new to the genre tho, this is a great entry point to bridge you to the more hardcore stuff. Point is, the game is much recommended either way.

One of the best one-of-those-likes I've played in forever, NET-CRAWL somehow combines procedural dungeon-crawling with genuine puzzles, elegant deckbuilding, and bigtime zugzwang. Each stage pits you against a wholly unique boss who defines the rules of a round, meaning even the smallest mechanics are explored to their fullest. Strategic planning is essential, but you need to combine it with creative play if you want to win. I have never encountered another game that makes you think about movement resources like this does, so I'm constantly shifting between landing genius plans and falling flat on my face. This is a good thing. Plus the tutorial is fun and informative, it has a lovely utopic digital ecosystem theming, beautiful sound design, and totally eschews a combat metaphor. And it runs on a potato. It's magic.

absolutely banging soundtrack reminiscent of BIT.TRIP and TRON while bringing gameplay that is 100% fresh to the roguelike deckbuilder can't wait for more content!!

a brilliant puzzle-y game with some mind-bending boss designs. It takes a minute to learn the "language" of the game, but once you do it's a joy.

I love this game. The theme is great and it feels like you’re playing chess. Really makes you stop and think carefully about your next move. Great job! 🙂
