Abalyte
This is a wonderful game, its small but tough.
Info I have discovered via playing, beyond this point.
If you don’t mind game overs, a terrific amount of game overs, then its the right game for you. You can get pretty far, and have great runs at the Three collection levels and Three boss levels (1). There are a great many weapons to discover (2) as you battle vicious creatures (3).
(1) (a) SlimeBall (HP 50) ; It releases hordes of Slimes and punches you for a cross map knock-back and deals 5 damage.

EDIT:
The devs seem to be listening to the community really well. Lots of improvements have happend, the sarcastic remarks are gone, the tree is possible and theres some actual progression to look forward to and plenty in game where you can see that effort is being made.
This game went from a disaster with no real direction to a playable and enjoyable experience
For a free game id give it 7/10 now. Once we see more levels in play, more weapons to choose from, more stats or even spells i think this’ll be a decent semi-rouge like. Id like to see more chances for healing, more combat than just watch the enemies drop and fight carefully. The bigger maps before were nice, but i think a healthy medium would be perfect.

I really enjoyed this game. For 2,50€ I got a lot out of it.
I like the simplicity of it and that you don’t even need any items to beat all the stages if you get good enough.
The music is so damn good, I wish the levels would be longer.
The problem with this game tho: It gets to easy if you get good at it.
On my first runs, I didn’t get very far (stage ~5). Then I kinda got the hang of it and got to stage 15 easily. After I really got the hang of it I proceded to kill the two new bosses easily and went to stage 57 without problems.

OVERVIEW
I saw footage of this game over a year ago and was hopeful what it could turn out to be. I saw it on sale a few weeks ago and hoped it had progressed so I picked it up. Unfortunately I didn’t find it to have made much development. Overall, the experience has been slightly lacking, but I think that the game could be salvaged.
PROS
-
Music is pretty cool
-
There is an Aesthetic that I like, but it needs developed
-
Easy to pick up, within an hour of playing I already felt in tune with the system

Tower Hunter: Erza’s Trial
A good game with broken mechanics.
Mostly simple, kill hordes of enemies and move forward. The game doesn’t really help with any direction on things that can be done, it’s mostly up to us which means a player can probably go through the entire game without knowing some very basics mechanics that can be done. There is hardly anything in the game to read or explore more on, sometimes even the minuscule help it offers will be hard to understand. One simply has to hope they understood the message it conveys.

### ”A potential rogue-like metroidvania where the death is learning…“
Tower Hunter: Erza’s Trial is a mixture of metroidvania and rogue-like element developed by indie IceSea Team of two people. It adapts into side-scrolling game with the influence of soul-like mainstream. Yet still have some flaws and require polishing during Early Access (currently 3 playerable levels). It’s risk-reward fun for people who seek a challenge.
Story and Presentation
Set in the hybrid fantasy world with some modern tech elements, the world design is clean, well-produced texture, and colorful. You play as a young maiden named “Erza”who specialize in close combat and ice spells. She has to prove herself by conquering mysterious tower to prove hunter’s license and get rid of wedding plan. The story is simple and straightforward, but what lies on the top of tower is quite intriguing. You spend most of time chatting with Devil companion between the levels as I hope they develop relationship through the story.

After a whole 1000 hours of playing this game, I think it’s time that I should write my thoughts about it. I’m gonna be listing some strengths and weaknesses of this game and the severity is determined by the amount of +’s or -’s, up to 3. I’ll state a solution for any problem I have if I can think of one. Also, spoiler warning. If you don’t want to get spoiled, just skip to the bottom of this review.
+++Nearly limitless replayability. I’ve managed to stick with this game for 1000 hours because it keeps putting me in unique scenarios, despite the level generation variety not being great. Not only are there a lot of builds but the gear is so random that you’ll be getting very different stat spreads and equipment perks to use at various points in the game.

This is a beautiful little game. It’s deceptively simple but almost impossible to master, and with enough complexity that it has extraordinary replayability. The different character classes are all unique with their own starting equipment, stats, and abilities, which allows for a wide variety of play styles. Want to run around all the enemies and attack from a distance? Be an acrobatic rogue and roll, jump, and climb around to your hearts content. Want to just brute force melee everything? Be a berserker wildling and solve all of your problems with fists. Finding a method that works for you is important because the game can be mind numbingly difficult.

Xenon Valkyrie
I got Ending C (a bad one) and, after 22 hours, that’s good enough for me. I had originally thought I could put this in my “cleared” pile much sooner, but it turned out to be a bigger hurdle than I’d anticipated. And while I do genuinely enjoy the presentation and the tunes are great, the gameplay loop itself is not particularly varied or engaging. Luck also plays an annoyingly large role in determining a good run, as while you can use a VERY slowly accumulated currency to unlock powerful new weapons, it’s entirely up to chance whether those weapons will randomly turn up in a chest during a run. You might just find the same weapon you have equipped! There are also enemies who can catch you off-guard and ruin a run quickly, such as a jumping skull that explodes when it touches you, or a robot that fires explosive bullets that might send his body flying right into you.

Metal Unit
Metal Unit is a fun little Side scrolling game with rouge-like elements. You’ll probably find similarities if you’ve played games like Dead Cells.
The progression is quite slow, since you’re running around with epic items around chapter 3 but your character is still weak as fuck. The rate at which you gain your Secondary Currency (CC Gems) is sluggish. You get a bunch for dying and you lose all your items and reset the chapter but you’re only going to get about 8-12. Which gets you maybe one or two skill investments like health, resistances etc. Which is fine in the beginning but it fails to scale how far you’re into the game. Chests are fairly common now which is a nice change and you can also buy one from a Random NPC if he spawns. Not as slow progress as it used to be but it’s imporving.
– Real player with 27.4 hrs in game
Metal Unit is a surprisingly accessible roguelite 2D side scrolling platformer released in 2021, that has a large amount of enemy types, excellent selection of weapons, tight control scheme, substantial crafting system and a plot that quickly becomes quite dark the further you progress. The price is good for what you get and I highly recommend picking it up.
Story
Humanity has been decimated and is stuck in the middle between a war amongst the monstrous creatures coming up from the middle of the earth and the aliens invading from space. You play as Joanna, the amnesic pilot of Metal Unit 11 who is out to discover why her sister defected from humanity to work for the aliens. While the story arc is only over 5 chapters it twists a fair bit but can’t really be described in more detail otherwise the plot hooks will be spoiled. At the end there are just as much questions that are left unanswered, even when collecting all the manual fragments to piece the background story together. A lot of the NPC’s responses to the character make a lot more sense the further you get into the game.
