Frail Faces

very fun just a bit unbalanced

Real player with 30.7 hrs in game

Great roguelike game with a considerable amount of content for an early access. Play style revolves around obtaining masks each of which offers their own moveset and special abilities. Powerups that upgrade passives and items that give unique effects can also be found along the way. Game gets progressively intense and fast pace like most other action roguelike games with stronger enemies appearing/hoarding you.

Only downsides are level design and lack of sound effects/music. Visually levels look great but level design can be simplified into an open area with spots that I can walk in and spots that I can only temporarily walk around in. Cause of this levels hold little differences besides enemies, chests, alters. Later levels do have more gimmicks in terms of level design but it would be nice to see an improvement on this in general.

Rise of Mavros

Rise of Mavros

Really enjoyable and solid game to pass some time. You can directly go ahead and slash some enemies to freshen up your mind. Also, there is a great Early Access management. It is easy to see where the game is heading, thanks to the roadmap. Frequent updates, quick fixes and amazing new content added constantly. Thumbs Up!

Real player with 9.7 hrs in game

This is a really well developed roguelite game, where you experience a third-person combat system, while you are trying to survive through the waves and build the necessary skills in order to complete all the levels. Of course, the game is in early access and it is not totally finished. I really enjoyed playing Rise of Mavros and it is getting better with each update. I had some issues with the targeting system, where sometimes the targeting system locked on to the weirdest location, but it is finally fixed and works as intended. I haven’t experienced anymore issues and now the game-play is really satisfying. I just think that we need more content (skills, maps, characters etc.) Thankfully, the Roadmap addresses all the necessary stuff and seems like we are moving on the right track as we are getting new skills and assets quite frequently.
