Wardens of Wen

So far this game is really cool. It's an action RPG with roguelike mechanics, which normally I'm tired of but this one is kinda unique in that you're defending a town and can hire mercenaries to help you out during gameplay. Each character has abilities like in an MMO and you're constantly moving across the map, circling to all of the traders and vendors in order to get the best deals and make sure you're using all of your resources properly. You get copper which is used during the runs to buy equipment or potions or gear that helps you actively during that single run. You then earn Gold which is the meta progression currency, which is used for that sweet sweet meta progression. The game plays really smooth and fun and there is just something about it that makes me really enjoy everything about it, I don't know if it's the style, the gameplay. It's rather deep with a lot of mechanics and stats to keep track of, all while keeping everything easy to understand and play through. There are like 10+ characters that are all vastly different from rangers to mages to summoners to warriors or paladins, and again this is on top of the mercenaries that you can hire in the tavern. All of the…

Wardens of Wen is an old school pixel based rogue like wave based adventure with what it seems like, infinite ways to play.... Each run is different and unique in its own way. What makes this game so unique and different from other Rogue likes is the RPG feel of the game... Being a solo developer, this guy put thought, dedication and story behind each character, from what seems each item, and gives you opportunitys and rewards to feed your next run. Each run feels different, plays different, you sometimes need to use different strategy, it just makes the game as fun as it is and incredible replay value. One thing i have not seen in other games in this genre is 1. like i said the RPG aspect. You build your character with different items, you choose which stats to upgrade. 2. The NPC's in the game weather it be the priest that can heal your wounds or remove the ick, chit chatting and trading with the vendors, and much more. I would give this a 10/10 any day, even in its current state. I have heard that multiplayer will eventually be integrated and i can see myself playing this for hours on end with my buddies in the future. Hats off to this awesome solo developer and continue the gre…

Really like the game in most parts, but if you so much as touch a single enemy you seem to just detonate most of the time, no matter how tanky you build, and that's... a really big bummer.

It's neat, but fairly buggy and unpolished. looking forward to seeing where it ends up.

Always amuses me/brings me joy when some random dev throws together a passion project and charges $6 for it, and it ends up with more value and replayability than a $70 AAA game

Fast pace, kill stuff don't die. I'm jamming to the music while I'm trying to min max a build for the run.
