Unto Deepest Depths

It's amazing how such a simple mechanic can make for such great design! Having lots of fun with the game. It is hard enough to really make you think, and the fact that losing makes you start from scratch gives every move you make a lot of weight. One thing that I'd like would be to auto attack, because sometimes, even if an attack would do nothing, I still have to manually use it, making me hit my own character (my intention being to just select the character). I see, however, that this is necessary for the undo button to work, because if the character auto-attacked, you wouldn't be able to undo. Thanks a lot for this neat game! Can't wait to play it more!

i found this game from a youtube video about godot turn based game architecture. Decided to get it and it was really good! definitely a hidden gem

Very fun strategy game for people that like a simple set of rules leading to emergent complexity. Easy to get in to, old school graphical vibe, and a decent amount of roguelike elements that make different approaches viable.

Super fun "one screen floor" combat with a twist: Each turn you must move and attack with all your units while minding friendly fire and your foes. Unit diversity and progression allow different unit uses and strategies. Impacting unlocks and procedural levels offer a good amount of play time.

Picked this up after finding it through the YouTube devlogs and spending some time with the demo. This game is for the puzzle lovers. It executes on the core idea very well, a unique and interesting concept but maybe a little too deterministic for me. Sokoban and Sudoku enjoyers would probably have a good time with this. It's quite short but challenging, it's easy to lose a run if you're not thinking five steps ahead. Losing a critical member of the team can leave you knowing the rest of your team will be dead in a few turns with nothing you can do about it. I found myself wishing I had some consumables or other get-out-of-jail free cards to play when I knew I was in a doomed situation. Some other thoughts in no particular order: - Excellent tutorial, not too long and not too short. - Nice visual and SFX polish - Very little variety between runs especially in the early game. Maybe consumables or similar would help here to vary each run, but more RNG might be against the spirit of the game. - Would be good to have more visual feedback when a unit is in attack mode (maybe a different cursor?). As a new player I've killed my allies too many times thinking I was selecting them…

A unique blend of genres, even feeling a bit chess-like with some units. Fun enough that I got sucked into the 'just one more match' loop. I will say that difficulty can vary pretty widely in a single run, and that even when steamrolling later in the game you may find yourself in a bad situation with certain maps and enemy combinations. Occasionally frustrating, but it maintained tension so I never felt like I could just sit on XP. Speaking of which, I do feel like the upgrades could use some rebalancing. As it stands some are essential and others are only rarely useful, even with the price differences they aren't cheap enough to tempt me and feel more like a lesson in what not to do. Nitpicks aside I think it's a really solid little game that I'll come back to from time to time to see if I can ever get past depth 2.
