#Rogue-lite

[knightoflodis]

Why am I starting to like rogue-likes? Seriously. I have always disliked them in the past. I don’t like permadeath and losing my progress. But I am finding myself getting a bunch of them. I think part of it is that they are kind of quick and you don’t need as much dedication to them. You just go for a run and that’s it. Easy to pick up no matter how long it’s been. Don’t have to do as much planning. Now. Granted I prefer some over others. I think I like the quicker ones also like when it doesn’t feel as bad when you lose. Also. Having the ability to go back up to full health pretty easily makes me feel better while playing. Then I don’t have to sweat small mistakes as much. Absolutely love Sky Rogue and how you get full health between each “mission”. Very nice.

Edit: oh. Rogue likes remind me of classic arcade games a touch. Especially Sky Rogue. I do enjoy classic arcade games.

It doesn't matter how many times I see 'roguelike' or 'rogue-lite' in descriptions for games - I'll forget what that means every fucking time.

Game Suggestions #4

Still got more games to suggest, and today is a game in the ‘My Organic Garden’ series, The Sealed Ampoule !

Not to mention gathering Alchemical ingredients to pay off what she spent on the dungeon, and to upgrade herself.

An install, an uninstall, a return and finally an uninstall: My time with Slay the Spire

It’s been quite the journey. Not the worst turn, It took me a long time to play Slay the Spire. I have never been that interested in card games or deck building, so while I had seen the game being played, I never felt the urge to play it myself. Even watching the game was limited to a speedrun or two. The main reason I played it was that it was a PS+ freebie. I got two runs out of it. I felt…

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons Review

Developer: Secret Base Publisher: Modus Games Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Windows (Reviewed), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch Release Date: 27 July 2023 Price: $24.99 USD

Double Dragon Gaiden delivers a decent, albeit flawed, beat ‘em up experience. Its rogue-lite mechanics are, indeed, very light; they don’t do enough to mix things up in a way that justifies their inclusion. It can still be a pretty good time especially when it’s played in co-op.

[LEGACY] Receiver 2

#DoubtfulPlayer #Sunday legacy upload. Today's #GameReview is #Receiver2 by @Wolfire. A #simulation #fps #shooter #indie #realistic game, released on #Steam, and given to me by #keymailer. The #repost of this #review is available now on our website.

I first went into Receiver 2 thinking that this was a first-person shooter game like any other, I was wrong. I’d read the blurb on how it teaches you vaguely how a vast array of guns work, in the most “This Does Not Qualify As Actual Gun Training” way as possible, but still thinking it was a progressive game. I was also wrong. You start off by getting this pistol, which it tells you how to fire…

Power Chord Review - Misses A Few Notes

A rogue-lite deck builder built around battling demons and heavy metal music. Running down that checklist, it seems Big Blue Bubble was trying to make something just for me. It’s an appealing mix and I’m always down for some tasty riffs that make the ears bleed and the soul plead for more. After spending a dozen hours in Power Chord battling demons, collecting cards and hoping that this run was…
