✦ AI summary

Yōdanji is a brutally difficult roguelike with simple mechanics that players find surprisingly addictive, offering a steep learning curve where frequent losses are part of the appeal and pushing players to experiment with different characters and strategies. Common praise centers on the engaging gameplay loop and tactical depth despite the minimalist design, though some frustration emerges from punishing difficulty spikes and occasional cheap deaths from enemy abilities like stun-locking.

I personally like this game as its very simplistic but an absolutely brutal meat grinder of a rogue like game. You will lose often, even after you get a feel for the game don't expect to win often but that's a part of the fun. You'll find your favorite characters to run through, all have different methods to get through, some far better than others but this varies from person to person so find your favorite and see how far you can get. It's a learn as you go type of game so try and not get discouraged the first couple of goes. I strongly advise you start with the tutorial and easy mode to get your bearings. Good luck! You're going to need it!

This game is quickly becoming an addiction. I fired it up on a whim last night and lost two hours immediately, and then another one today. The gameplay loop is addictive and the difficulty makes you play tactically and think ahead for every single move. When you die, you just want to jump back in and see if you can use your new knowledge to get a little further. This is a super fun roguelike and well worth checking out!

There's like a billion of these. I wish I knew what they were all based off of.

A nice, simple rogue-like themed on Japanese folklore monsters. Not terribly complex, but can be brutally difficult.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
