Overall Ravenswatch has definitely scratched my recent overbearing itch for roguelikes. With a great cast of characters, amazingly crafted art and an addicting gameplay loop, it brings a fantastic roguelike experience. The little details really bring together a great game which made me come back time and time again, just one more run, I said for the next 5 runs. Whoops. With everything taken into consideration, I will be granting Ravenswatch the Thumb Culture Platinum Award. What a fab little game! Really lived up to the hype after the previous roguelike by Passtech Games!

Ravenswatch is unique, stylish, and smooth, and its art style is irresistible. It is everything that you would want from an Action Rogulike and then some, and I'm sure you will fall in love with it if you give it a fair chance.

It may not have the same narrative pull as games like Hades (despite having a compelling setup to do so), but Ravenswatch places its focus on combat. Admittedly, the moment-to-moment gameplay and impressively large pool of upgrades and run modifiers is what made Passtech's last roguelike, Curse of the Dead Gods, such a surprise hit among fans of the genre. Ravenswatch only improves on that formula while also continuing Passtech's trademark panache for beautiful cel-shaded visuals and eye-catching animations. It might still need some wrinkles ironed out in terms of its balance and difficulty, but otherwise, Ravenswatch is a strong action roguelike and a worthwhile entry into the increasingly crowded genre.

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 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.

Ravenswatch combines cool characters and satisfying combat with challenging boss fights to provide a unique roguelite outing. The dark tone and twist on classic characters adds value and replayability; if only it had local co-op!

An accessible Roguelike that might initially seem a bit on the short side, Ravenswatch has more than ample replay value in the number of characters, modifiers, abilities, and items to experiment with. If you enjoyed Hades and crave roguelike action of a similar ilk, then the fairy tale charms of Ravenswatch will scratch that itch.

Ravenswatch masterfully blends dark-fantasy storytelling with engaging roguelike mechanics. The unique characters, each with distinct abilities and rich backstories, elevate both the narrative and gameplay. While the secondary missions can feel repetitive, the cooperative dynamics and high replay value make it a standout title for fans of the genre.

Ravenswatch is a game that puts gameplay and fun (especially together with other friends) first. The goal of Passtech Games has been almost completely achieved, were it not for the challenge rate that might discourage single players and a storyline that is not too engaging. Nevertheless, the new game published by Nacon should definitely be considered if one is looking for a roguelike product that is direct and immediate in its mechanics.

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 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 lot of fun to play, I unlocked all of the playable characters and played with each and had a good time with all of them. The randomly generated nature of each level is nice but the truth of the matter is this game is very short. And while I recommend that players play multiplayer, the game does offer the option to play single-player but it’s hard as balls. I am sure some of you who love these brutal difficulty games will enjoy, but for those of us who have yet to ascend that difficulty mountain, dis tew much. All that being said though, I like Ravenswatch quite a bit. While my time with it is short, it was still a pretty enjoyable experience.

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.
