I had low expectations but what I saw is even worse than I expected. no full screen - opens in tiny window and that's it, navigate within menus only by keyboard, ugly controls and visuals in game. Even 20 years old games aged better than this "new" game. Will idle cards to at least get something back and then will remove it from my library. if you have at least one unplayed game in your steam account save your money and play that instead, more likely that game will be more interesting than this one. Or if you broke and thinking about purchasing cheap games like this one better visit gog and play their free point and click classics instead! You'll save money and will get fun for free!

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

Shiny Gauntlet is an indie action RPG developed and published by Spritewrench that blends dungeon crawling, hack-and-slash combat, roguelite progression, and bullet-hell mechanics into a compact but challenging adventure. Rather than focusing on an elaborate story, the game places its emphasis on fast-paced gameplay and player skill. The premise revolves around tracking down a cultist who has stolen a powerful relic known as the Shiny Shard, sending players into a dangerous gauntlet filled with monsters, traps, and valuable loot. While the narrative remains relatively simple, it serves its purpose by giving players a reason to push deeper into increasingly hazardous environments. The game's biggest strength lies in its combat system. Battles require constant movement as players dodge streams of enemy projectiles while simultaneously engaging foes with melee attacks and special abilities. This combination of action-RPG mechanics and bullet-hell design creates encounters that feel intense even when facing relatively common enemies. Success depends heavily on reflexes, positioning, and learning attack patterns rather than simply relying on character statistics. As a result, every vic…

This game has some potential, but it's far from polished or looks like finished product. Here are my complaints, - No fullscreen mode. I have 2K monitor, so game windows looks very small on my monitor. - Unclear which direction i should (on Story mode). - Story doesn't seem to exist, although take note i'm stuck at floor 0 even after going around for almost 20 minutes. - Barebone tutorial, which is annoying if you're not familiar with Hack n Slash or Rogue-Lite game The gameplay is good enough for ~$1 game, but i can't really recommend this game.
