[h1]A Good Idea, But Not a Good Execution[/h1] I really wanted to like Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos. On paper, it has a lot of things I enjoy: procedural dungeons, RPG elements, upgrades and co-op. Unfortunately, the execution didn't work for me. [h2]Gameplay[/h2] The basic gameplay is enjoyable at first, but it quickly becomes repetitive. The dungeons, enemies and objectives don't have enough variety to keep the experience interesting for long. After a while, it feels like I'm repeating the same activities with slightly different layouts rather than constantly discovering something new. [h2]Combat[/h2] The combat is functional, but it lacks impact. Attacks don't feel particularly satisfying, and fighting the same enemies repeatedly becomes more of a chore than something I actually look forward to. The game has plenty of weapons and upgrades, but I never felt that they fundamentally changed the way I played. [h2]Dungeons & Exploration[/h2] The procedural approach is probably my biggest problem. I understand the idea behind making every dungeon different, but randomly generated layouts don't automatically make exploration more interesting. […

It's an OK game with flaws that make it less enjoyable than the games it's inspired by. These flaws are most obvious when playing cooperatively. The combat is very similar to A Link to the Past. It however does not feel quite right. Even after all the sword range upgrades, it still feels like you're fighting with the basic starter sword from LttP. It's difficult to avoid contact with the enemies and it often causes a lot of damage. The push back throws enemies into other players. Ranged attacks automatically target enemies behind walls instead of the one in front of you. Despite of these, combat against basic enemies is not difficult, but makes it more frustrating. Bosses are also often too easy with one or two exceptions. Especially the final boss was disappointingly easy, and we didn't even do all the optional side tasks. The class system is also not very interesting. Most of the fighting still happens with your sword, even though you pick a class like witch or mage. The upgrading feels fun though. Even when the upgrades don't feel significant, you still feel like you're progressing. Too bad the class specific upgrade tree is the simplest one in the game. The adventuring is ve…

Great game for 4 player couch coop!

Fun Zelda like that is for 1 - 4 players. If your playing by yourself its going to take a few runs to get your character up to speed to take on the dungeons without dying. As you play through the game you find more classes and (luckily, in a wise move by the developer) any upgrade you purchase applies to all the classes you find. Obviously for solo play certain classes are better than others. There are 9 or so classes in the game and there is at least one that is available through DLC. The game is also puzzle heavy so along with whacking monsters you'll find plenty of puzzles in the dungeons that generally require activating switches or stepping on pressure plates to either advance or get extra gems to upgrade your character. This also comes in to play with the various tools that can be found to let the player perform extra actions, some but not all are used heavily in the puzzles. There are also plenty of secrets to find in this game. As far the rogue like part of this game goes its not too complicated. Every time the player enters a dungeon, it is randomized. So if you don't like rooms and exit the dungeon you might get lucky and not get it on the next entry. The …

Really enjoyable game! Enjoyed playing it with one of my friends! Big recommend for fans of the Zelda franchise!
