The Last Game (Frédéric Julian)

its ok for the $3 sale price. tiny rogues is the better game though

This is a great little indie gem by a very passionate dev. It is what I loved about Tiny Rogues before it got too big for my taste: a compact little roguelike with great variety and good decision making, there are a lot of bosses and different builds and challenges to try so I really cannot complain. Keep it up dev!

[h3]Feels bad to leave a negative review here because it's fun little solo dev project but it costs money so, I need to be honest: it's bad[/h3] I feel like this tries to be Tiny Rogue without understanding what Tiny Rogue does well. Hitbox inconsistencies are the major offenders and a LOT of the "shots modifying items" actually ruin runs. Boomrang is super slow and short range, rocket launcher only damages where it lands and you don't really get to decide where it lands, bubbles are super slow and low range, etc. Not being able to adjust your speed by half-pushing joystick is also a huge problem because too much speed makes it really hard to position between enemy bullets.

+Visually OK +Some player choice -Too little player choice -Plays too simple; floaty feel -Audio -Buggy; e.g. enemies spawn stuck in destroyable items = Neutral to disappointed, but since I would not recommend such game to myself, I won't do it to you either.

Good game, but seems pretty grindy. I like the weapon/item mechanics and synnergies, but it feels like it's not enough. This game is Temu Tiny Rogues

Great little game but for me the balance is just a little off. I won't pretend to know the fix but I do have some thoughts, if you're interested in reading them. - The amount that I scale compared to enemies and the upgrades feels frustrating on most characters. Knight feels good because they have a consistent way to get more powerful but it doesn't feel broken just comfortable. - The items and the randomness are sometimes painfully bad. I'm talking several key and bomb rooms in a row instead of any more power, going for riskier options can sometimes be pointless too because - The itemization leaves a little to be desired. At first there are a lot of "dead" options. I get offered a credit card when I already have one for example. - Another point about items is that the one's that affect what type of projectile you shoot will be overridden by the next one, in other words they don't combo. Not an issue necessarily but I got 3 different items like that in a single run which is 2 dead items - Lastly, I already feel like I have to "play optimally" because luck is not in your favor, but not in a good way. Great little game I suggest you give it a try if you like the Genre. Its a lark …
