Beyond Dimensions

Worth Playing

Brian Dumlao

6.5 / 10.0

The aloof nature of Beyond Dimensions may make it intriguing at first, but it doesn't hold together in the end. The adherence to many roguelike conventions is good, and the choice of a randomized spell system keeps things fresh until you unlock the spells you want for the big run. The variations in theme are also good, but the static order in which those themes appear can be disappointing when randomization governs every other aspect of the game. Though combat can be good due to the possible spell variations, the simple enemy AI can bring that down while the presentation feels too simple when scrutinized. In the end, Beyond Dimensions isn't a bad roguelike twin-stick shooter, but it could definitely stand to be better.
