Recent reviews

Don’t let the limited reviews scare you. This is one of the most famous rogues of all time. Incredible game play where every move matters. Absolutely worth the money even if it’s hard.

I had a great time reviewing this for our podcast on roguelike games (https://grogpod.zone). I wasn’t sure how it would play from watching videos, but the actual experience of it was fun! Your goal is to get points through 8 levels and if you survive, continue a new run and see how far your score can go. There’s lots of smart game design here which is only made better in the upcoming sequel 868-BACK. It’s a small scope game, but the interactions and theme really do feel like a pulse pounding heist on the final level when you’re trying to escape with your hacked point total. Very fun to play at a group gathering or have friends to compare scores with. If there was ever a roguelike only arcade, this would go right next to the Spelunky cabinet.

This and Hoplite are top shelf mobile game essentials. Imbroglio, made by this developer, is also good. This game in particular is deceptively simplistic looking. Good depth in these games. The games are easy to jump into and out of. If you wanna step up and go to AA experiences, another deceptively simplistic looking game is the one by the creators of FTL - ‘Into the Breach’. Mobile essentials.
