Sweeper

I have been waiting for a game like this for a while. I mainly play the hell out of anything mixing roguelike with any genre. This game has a lot of neat ideas but right now it is too broken and RNG to be anything but an actual waste of time. Most runs end up being impossible. A lot of the items are either extremely underpowered or completely unexplained what they do if anything at all. This last part is speculation but it feels like the board is not generated static at the start of a round but instead the bombs move around, I COULD POSSIBLY BE THAT UNLUCKY but the game never feels like you are building up to have a good build and it feels like there is no synergy with any items. I played this game for 8 hours and only completed one run. I never found any items that I felt like were worth getting except for ones that game me extra lives, BUT I have created a long running list of items to avoid at all costs since they tilt the RNG even further against the player.

This seems like such a great concept for a game, but the minesweeper mechanics aren't actually integrated properly. Every run you will be forced to randomly guess for close to half the tiles with runs ending purely based on RNG even when you're playing smart, and other runs going deep even when you're half-assing it. I wish the challenges were more around minesweeper and less about getting lucky.

Good. But it needs difficulty rebalancing and the screen tearing needs to be fixed.

To update my review from the stupid childish one I regret making, it is an enjoyable game to play based on minesweeper. It's not perfect, its rough in some areas but it's a decent enough experience if you like minesweeper and want to play a more modernized version of it. 7/10

This game actually has a decent skill curve but I'm sad my favorite tag got nerfed

Good game
