SnekromancY

SnekromancY is a really interesting take on taking that classic SNAKE gameplay and turning it into a riveting Rogue like experience. You Slither your way through a dungeon, pick up food to grow your segments, pick up chests for Relics and Minions. Kill baddies with said minions, or run into them head first to chow down and get a small heal (at the cost of no xp gems (or items) dropping) while juggling your hunger, to reach the stairs and move onto the next floor. If you take too much damage or let your hunger grow for too long you lose a segment. Beat levels with occasional shops and miniboss's until you eventually reach an End boss, then move onto the next act. Clear 3 acts to win a run, simple and effective. There's a bit of meta progression in the form of unlocking different snake forms and starting minions, along with unlocking new relics too. Speaking of, at the start of every run you also get a choice of starting relic too but the game just randomly picks 2 instead of just openly letting you pick from your unlocked pool. So right off the bat, an element of luck hindering your build before you've even start the run. A bit unnecessary if you ask me. As for some additiona…

Snekromancy opens on a smart, stylish, and splendid set of mechanics and upgrades. The Nokia Snake control scheme adds a lot to the Bullet Heaven formula and keeps moment to moment gameplay engaging. Things tend to slither to a slow the longer you play. At 10 hours I feel I got my fill, much like the Snekromancer became full on the minions they ate.

A short but fun game. Sizewise it feels similiar to slay the spire. A run is split into 3 acts, similiar to slay the spire, with elite levels and normal levels. The good and bad of this game is probably the fact that it might be the most fun variation of a "snake" game you can find. My advice for people playing this: don't try to maximize size, the snake slows down when it gets larger. it is probably done for balancing reasons to limit the hp you can have when you get to the boss rooms. however it doesn't really stop you from getting to absurd sizes if you really commit to it, while it becomes tedious due to the slowdown. My longest snake had more than 200 segments. i recommed to stick to 19-25 length.

Im enjoying the game to do a run the odd time. For the value I would recommend. But the secret level where you go into the town is completely pointless and a waste of 3 minutes of gameplay. The enemy AI snakes do nothing and will only get a max score of 3. So you can just grab a few villagers and kinda just afk. All for some what 6-8 coins.

This is fun. Maybe add an endless mode without the health ticks?

I really wanted to love this game, but it's just not for me, sadly. The puns are great, music is perfect, and it sounds like a formula for success, but the slow moving snake and mazes that take a week to backtrack through when you've taken a wrong turn combined with the "run in circles around the boss until it dies" mechanic are just not enjoyable. I will almost certainly come back to it at a later date and see what updates have been made and whether it is more enjoyable for me.
