Spell Disk

Every run is like trying to get ward loop or cast on crit to work like in path of exile. Better combat than binding of isaac. Synergies can get wild. No exploration which may be a plus or minus for you. This is an incredible game.

Good game

Clunky, bloated, and overly reliant on luck, Spell Disk is a roguelite that fails to respect the player's time. Half your runs are ruined by terrible RNG that pairs disks and spells that are completely incompatible, making combat feel fundamentally broken and annoying. To make matters worse, locking the final boss behind beating the campaign five full times is an absolute cringe requirement—especially when the core gameplay isn't even fun enough to justify a second run.

This is probably the only Roguelike that I don't dislike for having too many items that basically all serve niche purposes with no player-recourse that is really all that possible. Every item you don't want? Recycle it into gems which can be used to obtain a random spell, artifact or disc and you can do it at will. Even when you can't, there's more or less nothing stopping you from making your build work and honestly this ACTUALLY feels like a well-thought out Roguelike.

Extremely good and highly underrated. In my top 5 of roguelikes out of 200 or so. Builds are incredibly creative with a ton of variety. Moment-to-moment gameplay is very solid. I bought it for the bullet heaven mode (my favorite genre) but ended up playing the roguelike mode more. It's THAT good.

I enjoy bullet heaven games as much as the next person, but this one is hard for me to keep being invested in. Set in a random dungeon who knows where in a kingdom of endless war or something, you play as a clone trying to escape with everything trying to kill you for some reason using discs to supply magic support via broken combos. Sure that sounds nice and interesting, but the concept is a bit cluttered and overcomplicated. There are a lot of discs that get activated through different methods and while the spells have auto-homing, there's too much to keep track of while you're also trying to dodge everything going on. There's a lot of items to think about and while the variety is nice, there's not enough resources that can help consistently keep up, especially on higher difficulties. I think the real issue I have is how repetitive the cycle gets after a while. Not only is there the main rouge-lite bullet heaven, there's a the traditional bullet heaven mode of beating random enemies with the same gameplay mechanics. They do have an option to speed up the game speed, but considering the amount of screen clutter you have to deal with, this isn't really worth it. There's also the fa…
