This game is genuinely unfun. Wdym "roguelike"? Not one mechanic that is at least rogue adjacent. I've played tons of dungeon crawlers by now and this gotta be one of the worst. Prove that not every Indie game is good. Reviving your enemies sounds nice, but the execution is completely botched. You revive one, use it, it gains a few levels and dies either within the run or at the boss. Only way to not lose it is not to use it. Ok so for the boss you need to do your meelee attack anyway. But meelee sucks in this game. Constantly soft targeting an enemy I am not fighting (like an add instead of the boss), dumb triple attack combo that does 0 damage. At first I wanted to struggle through and git gud but like come on. This is not worth it, it's just not fun in general. Don't buy this. Go play Moonlighter, or Cult of the Lamb or Hades, or Wizard of Legend. These are at least fun to play.1 found this helpful
tHE GAME IS INCREDIBLY BORING. uSING YOUR CREATURES YOU CAPTURE IS A NOTHING BURGER. tHEY MAKE NO DIFFERENCE. tHE STORY IS SAPPY AND THE VOICE ACTING CAUSES gi DISTRESS. GOBBLES1 found this helpful
I quit the game pretty fast (played tutorial and 1 level) so take my review with a grain of salt; I can't speak about the progression system, long-term story, endgame, etc. Combat felt very, very boring and clunky sadly. Level exploration didn't seem interesting either. Even the story did seem meh too. Given other reviews I've read before quitting, it'll probably be like that for the whole game so I prefer not investing too much time in discovering the game any further1 found this helpful
I just don't understand why it's even an option to drop the sword of the Necromancer on the ground and replace it with some random trash item. That's the core mechanic of the game? They don't really want you to summon it seems. They take up one of your only 4 items slots, one being the Sword of the Necromancer itself, which is needed to summon, so you are basically only working with 3 slots. That include consumables, and ANY other equipment including passive gear. I just really don't understand the thinking on that. It makes it more difficult I guess??? In a very unfun way. You also lose everything upon death, but not in the fun rouge-like sense. You can squirrel them away if you survive runs, so you are decreasing the potential of the next one, instead of building up. This game needs an overhaul.
Pretty good game. Love being able to summon the enemies that you defeat. Nice little love story aswell.
Excellent little game if you're keen on an old school dungeon crawler type game where you get to play pokemon with monsters and you have a WLW relationship for the main characters.
