    @JafSubs 10 місяців тому

    This caught my eye as I was checking out other channels, so I'm glad to see a review on here as well. The voice acting work seems to add so much to the overall charm to this game. This has been added to the wishlist, and I might take a stab at it once I've finished with Sea of Stars!

  • @iansob95
    @iansob95 10 місяців тому +7

    I really like the way they did the fog in this game, gives me a rougelite- Fate type vibes.
    Can't wait to try this! Looks extremely addictive and hard to put down, exactly what I need.

  • @Laf631
    @Laf631 10 місяців тому +2

    It looks really good! I like that it's got its own spin on the genre by adding in the base building elements. It's very keeping with the castle theme.

  • @bryangerman439

    @Gounen 3 місяці тому +1

    I was kind of thrown off by the graphics style at first, but this is a very good game! It is very smooth and responsive of your inputs... the fact that all of the knights abilities level up based on how much you use them and you can mix and match is a giant bonus! Also, what I did not expect, is that I am greatly into the story as well im this game as the dialogue is mostly spoken and charming to me.

  • @NarutoOnePiece
    @NarutoOnePiece 10 місяців тому

    Just seeing the video alone its interesting that you can see where different influences have really come into the game from its competition in the genre, you said quite a few that I instantly agreed with. Some games when they try and take a bit of everything don't let them mesh well and it's nice to read that this one does.
    I will be adding it to my collection soon no doubt next payday and I also like seeing visual evolution of a hub area, it feels more worth it that you playing, gaining skill and more currency each run has a greater effect on the hub and it grows with you. very good review and hope someone enjoys that oled switch, lovely soul whoever donated that.

  • @Wraiven22
    @Wraiven22 10 місяців тому

    Roguelikes/lites have been my favorite genre since the first version of Binding of Isaac released way back when. They are very hard to do right though… has to be the perfect distillation of gameplay, run variety, synergies, unlocks, etc. Interested to try this one!

    Oooh this looks really fun! I've actually yet to play Hades, but with Slay the Spire easing me into the roguelite formula, I'm starting to understand the appeal and I'm more willing to try out other games of that genre, and this one looks really attractive. Love the homing bullets! And there's a demo available! OK, gonna download that one and try it out very soon!
    Thanks for the video! I'm always a bit wary with sponsored contents, but you've more than earned my trust so you're one of the few channels whose sponsored "reviews" I watch as well. I know you'll still be honest with your comments even when you're paid to make the video.

    @cryptocharity106 10 місяців тому +1

    It seems that some people are turned off when they see another rogue like game due to the absurd amount of options we have available to play. I for one love the genre especially because the game will continue to have replay ability games like this have after you complete the story. The boss fights caught my eyes in this review and it runs a lot smoother that most games you’ve reviewed recently which I love to see.

  • @mjambar
    @mjambar 10 місяців тому +1

    I’m enjoying this! A few things hold it back from Hades-level quality though:
    -I’ve experienced lots of stuttering.
    -The random elements and choices are relatively lacking, so the runs feel a lot more “same-y” than many other roguelikes.
    With some updates and patch work, though, this game could be a real gem!

    I was never a huge fan of roguelikes until I played Hades. That game finally made me take the genre seriously and not get frustrated with it as much. It's good to see other developers put their own spin on the genre and release some quality games. This one looks pretty fun and something I wouldn't mind adding to the backlog
