Outrealm

You like roguelike? You killing mobs? You like loot? You like Risk of Rain? You'll LOVE this!

Essentially Dungeon souls with less to do. Not terrible, can tell some love went into it.

[h1]A solid hack-and-slash game with some roguelite and MOBA influences[/h1] [b]Outrealm[/b] is a fun little action game that draws inspiration from games like [i]Risk of Rain[/i] and [i]The Binding of Isaac[/i]. You play as one of multiple classes, each with their own unique abilities and advantages. The goal is to traverse through multiple realms to reach an evil ruler, the Void King, to stop the endless hordes of monsters that plague the lands. The mechanics of the game are easy to get into and understand. Like in [i]Risk of Rain[/i], each character has different skills that make their gameplay different from the other, with cooldowns that balance each other's strengths. Also, along the way, items add passive abilities to your repertoire, which all help you survive. As time goes on, enemies spawn in increasing regularity and in number, and you also have to kill a certain amount each level in order to spawn the boss to reach the next realm. The game has solid design, as difficulty increases at a reasonable rate for new players to adjust to. The game really only suffers from aesthetics. The art isn't detailed, and as far as visual clarity goes, there's not a lot to differenti…

For those gamers with actual skill, I would recommend experimenting with the more challenging modes. Work your way through the levels and locate the loot chests (some are hidden). They will lend a multitude of colourful abilites to your character which will come in handy for the boss fights!

***Risk of Dreaming*** Played about 100 minutes and this is my take. Graphics (6.5-7/10): Obviously pixel graphics, but we know what we came here for. Solid for the design, but nothing to write home about. You can tell some love went into it though, so I'll rate it a bit above average. Characters (7/10): Simplistic three ability set up for each character, with a passive that interacts with the other three abilities. Multiple characters each with at least some variance/nuance to their design and abilities. Music/Score (8/10): Sometimes quaint, occasionally atmospheric and always appropriate to the level themes. I think this was one of the stronger elements of Outrealm. Gameplay (7.5/10): Devs kept it snappy by including a fast paced gameplay with automatic leveling similar to Risk of Rain (which this game is at least somewhat inspired by). While playing you can pick up chests that give you a binary one or the other type choice, or automatically generated items via totems. The items are unique enough to feel meaningful and do affect your gameplay significantly. Would be improved by allowing the mouse to be used as one of the attack or ability buttons. Story (8/10): S…

You won't like it after 5 minutes. No, I won't tell you why - the devs aren't getting my feedback for free after they took my money.
