Weebish Mines

I should have done more homework first. Cute game, cute idea, as I loved Legacy of the Wizard back in the day, but this game differs from that in some key ways. Legacy of the Wizard was a game about exploration. Yes it was hard, but it was forgiving. If you wasted resources, you could just kill monsters to farm up some more. This game is not like that at all. Everything is limited. EVERYTHING. That alone makes this less an exploration game and more of a strategy game, and a punishing one at that. Some people may like that, but it's not my bag at all. I can't complain at the price I paid, but I'm still not recommending this, because IMO, comparing this to Legacy of the Wizard is a bit disingenuous.

The store page [i]Weebish Mines[/i] states that you explore the underground in the “Metroidvania Fashion”, however it’s pretty far removed from the pattern you may have come to expect from the games that make up the genre name. Being different isn’t necessarily bad, you just might be a little disappointed if you …

I like this game the way the story takes you into the pixel graphics world. It has a great concept and the gameplay is great. though I'm not good at this game I will continue to play to see how well I can do. The photos on the steam page give you a good deal of information from what you expect. Another great game by DXF Games A+++ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffpqR-A3AZ0

This game was a big positive surprise for me. It's about finding four pets in one mine. The game world isn't generic, it's just defined by the developer. He really did well. Step by step you learn how to survive in the mine and how to move forward. Always stopped by your own demise and the knowledge of what needs to be done better. You will find many useful items to get ahead and reach new levels with your characters. I had a lot of fun doing this and it would be nice if the developer could design more games in this direction.

This game deserves recognition. I like the challenge and thought it was really fun.

Weebish Mines was suggested to me by Steam a couple of times while I was desperately seeking another metroidvania game. But every time I was turned off by its [strike]dreadful[/strike] low-res graphics, despite the fact that I actually love pixel-art games. And even dirt cheap price wasn't convincing enough, for me it looked rather as a sign of poor quality. However, during a Winter Sale the price got somewhere near the absolute zero and I thought: "Ok, I can give it a try since it costs cheaper than electricity which my PC consumes while I'm playing it". And now I can tell 2 things: 1. This game is definitely NOT a metroidvania. 2. This game is definitely worth buying at a full price! The gameplay mechanics is unique (I didn't have a chance to play Legacy of the Wizard on NES, which Weebish Mines claims to be inspired by, so I can't tell at which extent the mechanics was borrowed from there). The first impression might be that the game is too unforgiving and has poor map design: in the first 20 minutes you can already be stuck in a deadlock with no choice other than starting a new game. However if you don't rage-quit after that and keep playing, quite soon you realize how sat…
