Labyrinth Legend

Labyrinth Legend

100%, Over 100+ hours; I guess I can write a review now! giggles

There are two modes: the regular one, that has points you can go back to if you fail or just wanna hunt for loot; the other one, ‘Extra Game’ is the rogue-like mode, which I recommend getting familiar with the story mode before playing the Extra Game.

There is a lot of content and difficulty settings, Easy to understand loot, and potions are filled when back at town. Plus, the visual style of the areas are really nice, and the soundtrack is amazing, especially in later stages!

VERLIES II

VERLIES II

When you rage quit from a game and you immediately want to give it another try, you know you’ve got something special.

Verlies II is a first person dungeon crawler, with real-time combat and grid based deplacement.

And it wants you dead.

Yep, according to the Master, death is the only thing you rightly deserve.

Let’s prove him wrong, shall we?

In order to do that, you’ll have to master combat precision, actively aiming at the monsters, and timing, to block with your shield and manage breath/endurance. It’s a fun and solid system and you may soon try to block “frame perfect” in the vain hope it will mitigate more damage :p or you will die miserably for it was obvious this 5th strike in a row was dumb.

Punishing, wicked roguelike gridbased dungeon crawler with active combat that requires timing, strategy and actually landing your mouse cursor on the enemies as you swing. Lots of ways to combine your skills and create the build you want. Has a few interesting puzzles, one at the end of each level. This game does all it can to work against you, so that you really do feel you accomplish something every time you make it just a little further. But there are many ways to die, and permadeath is what’s at stake if you fail.

Leyline Knights

Leyline Knights

If you like Roguelikes like Hades, you’d enjoy this. A couple of patches can get it working well cause I did encounter a couple a couple of bugs (in fact I only stopped playing because of one). I didn’t quite understand what are the things you select before you start the “Dungeon Run” but its fun. Managed to fight (and not always defeat) a couple of bosses which from my experience in 1 hour of play were all different so that nice. Also I have no idea how you can get back with your gems, I wanted to buy some permanent buffs but when I died I always lost everthing (not sure if intentional but usually you get to keep a small percentage if you don’t make it till the end)

I’d recommend this game, it’s a nice action roguelike game with a nice replayability value through the possibilty of different builds.

Your goal is to climb the Great Tree to do so you’ll fight enemies through different areas and maps and fight your way against bosses.

You have access to numerous upgrades,items and combining various elements to help you through it and advance to the next level of an area.

You’ll encounter NPCs that will help you and tell you a bit more on the lore.

You can also tailor your playstyle with the purchase of upgrades and such.

Slash or Die

Slash or Die

I gotta say, I really like this game. You control one of three characters (warrior, berserker and mage, although you have to complete the first boss to unlock the berserker and the second and third to unlock the mage), each with different mechanics,

stats and upgrades. Using just the mouse you can maneuver your hero and perform an attack, which costs mana, to kill enemies that keep spawning. The enemy diversity is good, each one with different attack types and harder enemies appear as you progress through the story.

This is a very disappointing game, can’t say it’s THAT bad, you decide:

+The one and only plus - battle mechanics - 1st time I’ve seen it in indiegala minigame made by the same person I guess, and what can I say - there it was WAY better - to move around you click left MB, to dash and kill you click right MB - now about the problems of the game

-You can’t dash while moving - you have to release LMB if you want to click RMB - like, what’s the problem? When a lot of enemies around you even the slight stop can kill you.

Gods Will Fall

Gods Will Fall

I will say this right off the bat this game is definitely not for everyone. This is not diablo don’t play if you cannot stand losing or think this is a simple button masher. (WARNING: This game was designed for a controller, although it is not impossible to play with a keyboard it will take practice, dont hesitate to reconfigure the keys to something you are comfortable with)

The basic premise is you have 8 randomly generated warriors and 10 gods to kill, to kill one you must choose one warrior to control and traverse the dungeon of said god and then face him in combat, be warned once inside there are only three endings. Victory, capture or death. The catch however is that on each playthrough the strength of the boss will vary each time, the boss that was super easy in your first playthrough might be the strongest in the next one, worst of all you have no way of knowing until you send someone inside and once inside there is no backing out.

A challenging game full of charm and atmosphere. Note: I bought this on special with 40% off.

I finished Gods Will Fall last night and was pleasantly surprised at the fun journey I had just had. I bought this game despite the mixed reviews because I saw something in the trailers that just clicked with me and I think a lot of the negative reviews are there because the game isn’t what most gamers were expecting.

Yes the game has rogue-like elements and dare I say it, is a little souls like, but over all I think the game sets out to do it’s own thing in a way that put some players off because again, they weren’t expecting it.

Gone Viral

Gone Viral

If you want to make comparisons to other games, this is Enter The Binding of Smash TV, and if you understood that reference, this game is for you.

It doesn’t take itself seriously because it can’t, there’s just no way to sell this tone other than zany and over the top, so if you’re looking for gritty it ain’t here. I’m a big fan of twin stick roguelikes, but a common complaint I hear when I try to attract my friends to the genre is that they don’t want to take the time to slowly, painfully learn all the item effects and enemy patterns to be able to string together a good run. In your first few runs of Gone Viral, it doesn’t matter what the mutations do, pick them up, they’re fun. Are they good for your build? Who cares, they’re fun. Figuring out the cool interplay between different mutations can come later, and it will, through natural gameplay experimentation.

Im giving this game a thumps up cause im havin fun while playing it but im going to give an honest review hoping that the devs will see it. The game is actually a mele Isaac clone with better graphics and music BUT it lacks in relics big time (i know its still in early access) and you never get these “overpowered” runs you would get in Isaac.. It also lacks in enemies and you find the same ones (6-7 types of enemies) again and again.The bosses are actually fun and interesting.The events need a bit balance cause many times you get in rooms full of enemies and with the events together its super sure that you ll get damaged..The drops need a bit balance too cause there are many runs that you cant even find enough shields..The main character is fun with nice skills but the rest two characters are 99% unplayable.The second character needs to never get dmg or find extremely many shields (and this happens 1 in 50 runs) and the third character has the slowest attack in the history of videogames and if you miss it you get dmg so its unplayable too.. i feel that these 2 characters need a huge rework..A ranged character would be fun i think (i know that there are ranged weapons but still its not sure if you ll find one or not).. The game is nice and the whole idea too but the game needs balancing and reworks to be a super great game.. I hope we see more relics and more unique ones in the next updates so every runs is different than the last one. 7/10
