Company: Devolver Digital
A really fun balance of roguelike dungeon crawling and Animal Crossing colony sim inside a slick package of stunning art and great music. Bit buggy at launch, but still great and ripe for expansion.
Pretty special game. Great art and music delivers a really unique concept. A good example of the strength of the medium, where gameplay is married to the narrative nicely. Super cool.
2.5D sidescrolling Kurosawa-inspired combat, which at times is challenging and rewarding but can also feel imprecise and frustrating. Excellent visuals and clever composition. Definitely worth a look.
Deckbuilding roguelite escape room ARG. An inspiring masterpiece & wonderfully executed ode to card/videogames. If you’re into that kind of thing, it’s a must play. So, so impressive. Mullins is nuts.
Death’s Door is a triumph: combat & movement are tight and dynamic, the level design is great, the art and music are fantastic, enemies and bosses are interesting. Really well-rounded and executed.
A tight, stylised & skilful first person s̶h̶o̶o̶t̶e̶r̶ thrower which is as fast as it is gratifying. Combat is awkward at first but soon clicks & feels great. Its relatively short length is spot-on.
Deckbuilding… reverse-tower-defence… strategic… dungeoncrawler… roguelite? Hard to describe but wickedly clever. Polished, fun, challenging & very addictive. Set to be a classic - play it.
Devolver are crazy, man. Love ‘em.
Interesting and fun take on this kind of 2d platformer. Movement and combat are fun and satisfying, and puzzles are pretty clever. Short but definitely worth it.
The world of Sludge Life may be small, but it’s unique, fresh and memorable. Awesome art style, music and characters. Come for the graff and smokes, stay for the vibes. 🛹
