There’s some potential for a light roguelike meets RPG experience here, but it just fails to deliver much of interest
It gets points for some slick sensibilities in presentation and attitude, though some aspects are weaker than others
While it doesn’t have the oomph to compete well in a crowded roguelike shooter space, for the price it has some merits
Though certainly an improvement from its humble original incarnation, against a very similar indie it doesn’t measure up
If your goal is to get a group of friends laughing, yelling, and throwing down smack talk, this is a great choice
An attractive and smart mix of tactical strategy and roguelike sensibilities make for a challenge, but those controls…
Definitely living up to the “sim” aspect of its title, the controls are a formidable obstacle, but possibly not for the reason you’d think
Provides enough story beats and creepiness to mostly compensate for its tendency to kill you somewhat abruptly
While it works for some light shooting missions and minor mayhem, it doesn’t come through with much in the way of polish
While its predecessor had the elements of a creepy good time present, Mask of the Lunar Eclipse brings it all together
With its unique underwater style and combat, this Metroidvania-esque adventure has its own feel
Unsurprisingly, the combination of Dead Cells and Castlevania proves to be nostalgic and truly fantastic in this paid DLC Package
An odd pairing of a solid old-school Cabal-style arcade shooter and a mess of an attempt at a more grand adventure
Until Vampire Survivors arrives on the Switch, fans of that style of play will handily get their essential fix with this
Undoubtedly novel, and likely fun for a party atmosphere, calibration challenges and quirkiness limit its long-term appeal
While it puts up a reasonably good but approachable puzzle platforming challenge the sluggish pacing is a bit odd
While it is a visual and aural feast, dripping with style, mechanically as a game it unfortunately struggles
A mix of adventure and RPG-ish elements, combined with a story that tugs at the heart strings, makes for a decent handful of hours
Combining together an upbeat tone, some fun characters, and a mix of puzzles and crafting this keeps things light and fun
Mixing together multiple genre feels results in a less traditional take on a point-and-click adventure
