City of Brass Reviews
An excellent idea, with a very good combat system and a very solid playable base. The Uppercat Games project is as attractive as it is challenging. The Roguelike elements and its randomly generated scenarios make each game different and unique. Highly recommended.

City Of Brass is a satisfying first person rogue-lite adventure that brings a few neat ideas of its own to the table.
Overall, City of Brass is a huge achievement in design.
City of Brass starts off strong, with innovative mechanics and an impeccable presentation that continues to impress. As long as you're not expecting an endless adventure, this first-person roguelike is well worth playing.
I love the look of City of Brass and its combat system, but after only about three hours I felt like I'd seen all it had to offer. It's a great way to kill an afternoon, I just wish it would give me a reason to keep coming back.
City of Brass is a fantastic starting point for newcomers to the roguelike genre, but those that know a thing or two may leave feeling a little short-changed. The core gameplay loop at its heart is very satisfying, thanks to its experimental nature, and with the genies' perk selection, there's a decent amount of variety when you're in the thick of it, but there just isn't enough here to keep you coming back past your first couple of completed runs. There's definitely fun to be had here for a few hours, but it's nothing you'll remember with a great deal of affection in six month's time.
Since I have played other FPS games like Destiny and Far Cry. I can't help but long for the fast-paced action these two gave me. But since it is a mortal sin to do so and the game has a charm of its own that sets it apart from other first-person shooter games I've come across, I'll leave my piece with this game as independently as possible.
City of Brass is a good dungeon crawler, with some of its best moments and mechanics derived from its rendition of an Arabian Nights theme. While its repetitive scenery and uneven presentation are noticeable tarnishes on its sheen, the satisfying combat and well-balanced difficulty curve will keep you going back for more.
“It’s hard to recommend a game like this when its gameplay seems to fall smack bang in the middle of no man’s land. It’s not that it’s a bad game or that it fails to do what it says on the box, it’s that it just doesn’t make you feel one way or the other, quite possibly one to keep an eye out for when the sales are on.”
City of Brass is a really well put together experience that's always fresh no matter how many times you enter the gauntlet.
This game is a wonderful homage to "One Thousand and One Nights" / "Arabian Nights", utilizing the episode written about the City of Brass to its fullest and bringing it to life in a unique way. This game is the best implementation of the first-person roguelite I've ever seen. While it lacks permanence, it makes up for the great blessing and burdens system. The combat is a one-two punch of success, and nimble movement make everything feel fluid. In addition to each gameplay element being so well thought out, City of Brass is excellent at delivering stunning visuals and storytelling that other games dare to try.
Even if the notion of permadeath is anathema to you, it's well worth stepping through City of Brass' gates.
Overall, City of Brass is a great game that's mostly elevated by its setting and visuals. Once you get into the rhythm and understand how each enemy reacts, it becomes rather enjoyable, even addictive. It's a shame that the controls aren't optimized and there aren't other visual options..
City of Brass is an amazing rogue like title. It really captures the spirit of the genre and understands what the strengths and weaknesses of this style of game are. It addresses these superbly by allowing players to customize their experience. The gameplay is fun but does start to feel repetitive after extended periods of play, considering the price of the title though, the hours of fun you’ll get well outweighs the eventual grating. If you are in anyway interested in rogue like titles like The Binding of Isaac, City of Brass shines as brightly as the best of them.
City of Brass is a beautiful, highly-polished and mostly successful attempt at turning the genre on its head by making it more accessible to everyone, from rogue-lite veterans to first time players. With a unique and intuitive new combat style and some innovative takes on genre conventions, you'll find plenty to like about City of Brass no matter what your skill level.
A novel setting and concept can't hide the game's technical limitations, but this is still an entertaining first person roguelike that does try to do things differently.
This game is a strong contender for my favourite game in 2018 to date.
City of Brass is a fairly standard rogue-lite that distinguishes itself with its setting, visual stylings, and fun-as-hell whip.
City of brass is a Rouge-like َgame with some pretty exciting aspects that promise a good and fun game, but does it deliver that promise? City of brass has very fun gamepley elements and you can use a whip and multiple weapons with different attributes and bonuses in combat, solving environment puzzles or interacting with traps and Enemies that made so many choices for us to progress in the game. Also, City of brass is a gorgeous looking game with good details and unique art style. So the answer to the question is “YES”. Although the game suffers from problems like the mostly lack of music, some graphical pup-ups and technical issues that could hurt your experience of the game. Anyway, we must say that City of brass is a beautiful game that absolutely worth your time.
