Best Action Roguelike Modern Games on PC

[International] Absented Age: Squarebound

Surprised this game didn’t get more reviews.

This game plays somewhat like a Mystery Dungeon game, but at the same time an action RPG.

First of all, when you start the game you are greeted with an extensive options menu. You are able to optimize the game’s screen and sound by quite a bit, which feels really neat. Once you start in the game, it immediately brings you to it’s gameplay. The gameplay consists on moving around the field, when encountering enemies, you have the options of attacking head-front or performing counter attacks when they turn yellow, which happens when they attack you and miss.

When I heard vgperson translated it, I figured I’d give it a chance. (He translated a bunch of horror games like Ib, The Witch’s House, Mad Father…). And this is pretty good so far! Maybe a “One Way Heroics” meets “Card Captor Sakura” meets RPGmaker? No? Well, others will describe it better. I’ll just say check out the demo if it sounds curious to you. Maybe a proper review after I finish the game.

PS: the developers have been silently and quickly patching every issue I’ve encountered. They must be ninjas.

Dungeons & Guns

I followed this game before on itch.io when it was in beta, played couple of hours hahah. At first I find the game kind of hard (but addicting), every time a died I clicked ‘play again’ instinctively. It’s a real dungeon crawler, where you have to advance dungeon for dungeon ‘till get to the boss (and it looks to have many bosses). The lack of guns options brings the game some strategy, cause they have different features like range, power and shot speed.

The design it’s amazing, the combination of the pixel art with the good colours bring a good result on the character, the enemies and the scenery. The game has a good dynamism introducing the biomes, where each one is a completely different game, changing the whole assets, including the guns and the mechanics (I was impressed when I dropped a Nature bow and exchange it for my pistol).

Rogue Lite 3D

Do you play fast rogue likes, 2D metroidvanias? Do you like to evolve both as a player and as your character? I would like to introduce this game that is the sum of it with 3D exploration and inspiration from mega drive games like Shadow Dancer and Shinobi.

Characteristics:

• Rogue lite, explore different cities and biomes, always in new arrangements that challenge the player’s reflex. Die and go back to the beginning, with more tools and knowledge to go further next time.

• 3D third-person action with fast-paced combat. Punish as many enemies in the shortest time as possible to increase your power.

• Unlock 15+ skills.

• Try out more than 40 weapons available with their different types of combat.

• Use the help of your faithful companion, Thor, in exploration and combat.

• Explore all levels and unlock shortcuts for your next run.

• Find secret items

• Save as many hostages as you can, who then will help you with rare items.

Replayability is core

Save the city from your captors in this game with interconnected levels, evolve as a player, evolve as a character. Go further and further. **Feel the thrill of having only the last life in the last boss…

… and good luck!**

Tanky Tanks

Cool game, brightened up my evening)

I recommend it to those who are tired of standard projects and want to have fun with something new.

Convenient and beautiful menu, the simplicity of the gameplay pleases …

There is a balance in the game, which is very pleasing, thanks! The developer has clearly tried on his product, the game is worth its money.

The game has a system of achievements, which is very pleasing))

Here is such a short “reviewer”, if I may call it that. Good luck, I’m waiting for similar games from the developer)
