The Sealed Ampoule
An interesting variation on mystery dungeons.
The Sealed Ampoule is the newest game from CAVYHOUSE games and it is just as beautiful and strange as their other titles. Fans of mystery dungeons won’t find a ton of challenge here but it is a nice pared down experience, it’s pared down in that there is only the one dungeon and look of it doesn’t really change save for the ever shifting background colours, also while you do always start at the first floor your levels don’t reset and you accrue experience and stat upgrades that help each subsequent run. In another deviation from the usual mystery dungeon, there are no upgradeable weapons or clothing instead you upgrade the dungeon itself and your skillset. The characters are charming and while the story is simple it’s nice to solve a mystery.

Like the other Cavyhouse games, this is a very aesthetic, weird and experimental game. If you played Forget me Not? It’s about twice as long and grindy. Still worth playing if you’ve liked other Cavyhouse games.
If you’ve not played something by Cavyhouse before… this would be a good starting point, as it’s the first one timewise? If you’re just looking for a roguelike, and have played a bunch of those this likely won’t be super interesting to you though. it’s fairly low stakes (die = resources lost and that’s about it), but there’s also not like weapon/armor upgrades. there’s just skills and upgrading the dungeon itself. And loot is all recovery items, tools or materials. If you want a very relaxed, and less complicated roguelike though? This may actually be a perfect fit for you.

Hero’s Story
There are only few locations in this version of the game (no new locations compared to the test version). I would suggest to wait until there is more content. Overall game looks nice.

I suggest to buy this game only if you want to support the developer or want to be in touch with the developing process.
I DO NOT recommend to buy this game if you’re already anticipating some kind of “final product”. It’s Early Access, guys!
This review will be updated as far as the game updates will be released.

Чтож, одним словом – это Early Access. Сейчас это не игра, а задел под неё. Вам не стоит ее покупать, если вы ожидаете уже получить готовый продукт. НО стоит, если а) хотите поддержать автора; б) хотите понимать что с игрой происходит и помочь в разработке.

Slurkum is a fantasy survival game where you explore a huge world for resources and battle monsters with weapons or magic spells, alone or with other people online.
You start off by creating your own character with the use of many sliders, you have endless possibilities to make it entirely your own.
I’ve been playing this game with my friends from the BatPack and we’ve played it with a total of 8 people.
It was one big lag fest, where animals are magically teleporting or vanishing into thin air.
