Ravenswatch Reviews
Ravenswatch is a solid tried and true roguelike with many different ways to play through the options of heroes available to players. It's difficult and rewarding for solo or co-op parties and does its best to be an interesting experience. With the diverse cast of heroes and challenging side quests, it's hard not to queue up several runs a day. Every character we have was given the care of a compelling story on why and how their tale took a darker turn. We see the developer taking something old and making it new for us once again. It's truly awesome to see old stories given new life to become something else altogether.
Ravenswatch is an absolute blast. Gorgeous to look at, smooth and responsive to play, and peppered with the kind of variety that encourages you to keep going back
Ravenswatch is an excellent roguelike, one that's filled with clever gameplay design, lovely art, and just a really cool core concept. Now that it's fully out in the wild, I'm happy to wholeheartedly recommend it to basically anyone who's even tangentially interested, and while I do sort of hope they keep releasing new characters, it already feels more than complete.
I review a lot of games and I’ll admit that diving into another roguelike isn’t always immediately appealing. But Ravenswatch does enough clever things with its mechanics, art, character design, and premise that I was intrigued and engaged. Ravenswatch demonstrates again that in the hands of talented developers, there’s still a lot of untapped potential in the roguelike genre.
Ravenswatch blends remarkable gameplay with an incredible sense of style to make one of the most unique Roguelikes you’ll ever play.
Overall, Ravenswatch is a decent game for those who enjoy co-operative action-RPGs and aren't afraid of the trials of a roguelike, but it lacks the polish and variety to qualify for top marks.
What happens when you mix Hades, Diablo, and fairy tales? This is Ravenswatch. Like Supergiant's Hades, Ravenswatch will start as an Early Access game, making it a great place to refine its core mechanics and flesh out its fantasy world. With new characters and gameplay updates coming after the launch of Early Access, Passtech Games has enormous potential for the next promising step towards RPG. They're off to a great start already, and watching that world and its gameplay evolve has got me excited to see where Ravenswatch goes next.
Ravenswatch is an amazing experience any fan of roguelikes should play.
Ravenswatch is a fun and interesting roguelike, but it falls short of the genre's top titles due to its weak story, repetitive environments, and inconsistent controls. Despite these issues, it remains an enjoyable game, especially for roguelike fans, with a well-designed multiplayer component.

Ravenswatch is a fun roguelike romp with a neat co-op mode, tactical combat, and many memorable characters. Perhaps it lacks the narrative complexity or polish of some other titles within the genre, but its inventive retelling of well-known fairy tale characters and that eerie, atmospheric setting does make it interesting.
Ravenswatch stands out for its unique approach, mixing well-known fables with a dark aesthetic and characters with varied mechanics. The engaging combat and diverse skill system make the gameplay strategic and fun, especially in multiplayer, where the synergy between the heroes shines. Despite its potential, the game faces problems of repetition and pacing that compromise the fun in the long run. The lack of variety in the events and the repetitive structure of the maps make the runs predictable, while the slow movement and the exaggerated resistance of the enemies make the journey monotonous at times. Overall, despite its flaws, Ravenswatch is a good experience that can evolve and offer a more balanced experience with future updates.

Ravenswatch is my new favorite roguelike game, and a title I’m going to be spending a lot of time with in the future. Absolutely packed with cool ideas, from the game’s setting to the philosophy behind its mechanics, Ravenswatch is sure to become one of your favorites, too, if you give it a chance.
