Critic Reviews for CloverPit
The combo of roguelikes and gambling should probably be more addictive than this.
The only real nitpick I could offer is that the descriptions of some of the charms are a little dense and percentage-heavy, but that becomes progressively less of a problem as you play the game and pick up more of what it’s putting down. Frankly, it’s a wonder I was even able to put it down long enough to write this, and I’m gonna go start another run as soon as I’m done. The first step is admitting you have a problem, and the second step is pulling the dang lever again.
CloverPit does what it does well. It’s very clear how much inspiration Panik Arcade has taken from Balatro and Buckshot Roulette, but it’s taken bits and pieces and created its own unique identity. The low-poly art style lends itself very well to creating an eerie atmosphere, and taking the time to put together charm combinations is fun and incredibly satisfying when it pays off. Though the rougelike element and pure RNG might be frustrating at times, and the simple gameplay loop can feel repetitive, taking what you’ve learned from a previous run and seeing it pay off in another feels very rewarding.
There are so many builds to try and so many ways to get points; it’s addicting, and it scratched my love of gambling without any real-world consequences. It’s been a while since I’ve gone to bed after playing a game and woken up with the itch to jump right back in. I really think that with a few tweaks and a way to permanently have its amazing music play, CloverPit could stand alongside the games that it was inspired by.
CloverPit is the Balatro of 2025. It's an incredibly clever Roguelike with a creepy setting, loads of build options and compelling slot machine action.
Like any good slot machine, this game’s a gamble—fun if you’re here for quick spins and rogue-lite flair, but don’t expect to hit the jackpot if you’re chasing a story, because while there is one, you're better off just staying at the slots and making that number go up.
It’s not for everyone, but if you’re the kind of player who enjoys digging into systems and mastering the chaos, CloverPit will have you hooked. However, just like a real casino, remember the house always wins. This house will just kill you when you lose.
