  • On both the calculator and my 8 year old Valve recommended steam box. (Yes I’m running Xubuntu 13.10 on it)

Shiny / Sounds

V- 

  • Honestly, it looks a bit simple but hella nice for a rougelike

J-

  • They’re good for what they are.

  • Too busy listening to slayer to judge the soundtrack

P-

  • Graphics… Those don’t really matter much on a top down roguelike. If they did Bionic Dues would have to get 5 chairs.

  • I lowered the volume of my mp3s and sat listening to the menu BGM for a good 10 minutes. Very nice job.

  • The NPC quips may get old after awhile, but I’m 21 hours in and they still haven’t.

Control

V- 

  • Everything was tight but figuring out the targeting was a bit obtuse.

J-

P-

  • It’s a roguelike, the control scheme is intuitive to anyone familiar with the genre and stupid easy to learn by the new players.

  • Was originally going to give it three chairs but they’ve since removed the camera control issue I was having. They literally nuked it out of the game. Thumbs up!


Total-


FUN

V- 

  • Hey, I enjoyed it and rougelikes are not my dice.

J-

  • Fun little roguelike.   Reminds me of Doom the roguelike a bit.

  • It grew on me

  • Why…Why was I programmed to feel pain?

P-

  • Fun? FUN!?

  • Freakin’ time vampire is what it is, respekt!

Verdict – 

  • Is it worth $10? Yes it is! There are plenty of games out there being sold for $60 that don’t deliver anywhere near as much fun as this little game.
