Pylon: Rogue

this game is fun, and i would recommend it, but with some stipulations. I wanna start by saying i found this game at pax west, and had a really fun time playing it and talking to a couple of the devs. they seemed like cool dudes really passionate about making a good roguelike. and when you play the game you can tell that they have put and are continuing to put lots of time into making the game fun to play. I will say this - i wanted to *love* this game. I *LOVE* roguelike games. its my favorite genre and i have hundreds of hours into binding of isaac and games like it. I also love action rpg games like diablo and etc, so the fusion of the two seemed like an awesome idea that i wanted to be amazing. Where i take issue with the game is here: Take a game like diablo (1/2/3) hardcore mode. Health in that game is easy come easy go. You will take unavoidable damage regularly while playing, but its not only trivial but a major part of the game to stock up on health items. In d2, you'll hav...

Game is little too hard, but makes me think of Binding of Isaac, you get loots, depending on what you want, you get hearts, have to capture things to increase your stats and also never ever take damage. I love games like this, the one with the knowledge will go further. BIG THUMBS UP!

As you play, you find items that enhance your killing potential. If you die, you lose everything and start over - no apparent permanent character or stat upgrades yet... some might call this fun.

Disclaimer: Played with mouse & keyboard. Control system just doesnt work for this sort of game. Completely ruins the game, may as well be playing with oven mits on, imagine Dark Souls where u cant dodge but have to slowly rotate your camera to change direction. This game showcases why Dark Souls 2&3, Bloodbourne. Nioh which all play from a similar camera angle (3rd Person/Behind) have target locking and sidestep/dodge abilties. Sorry but games like this are meant to be played on a knife edge where quick and correct reactions are the cornerstone of gameplay. having to turn my camera 45 degress and then slowly waddle (no dash or sprint available) out of a poision bubble just doesnt feel like reactive gameplay to me. Combat just feels clunky and akward. if this game apeals to you, Don't buy it unless its reworked - buy either of the 3 games mentioned earler (3rd Person Camer) or pickup hollowknight (2D Platformer), Asura (isometric diablo-esque camera) or binding of isaac (top down ...

Git gud or git ded.

A little roguelike arena game. Graphics aren't bad, but there is no much better to say about it. The store page info is a lie: isn´t a Roleplaying game, even an action one, is a simple Hack and Slash game with permadeath. There is no story or true campaign: only sucesive little arenas, with option to loot or buy few items. Mechanics is too basic: there are 4 characters to choose, they haven´t scores and only have four parameters: damage, life, moviment and armour. No leveling system, no dialogues. Combat system only have 4 kind of combos, player can´t carry health potions; and so on. Surely this product would have been wonderful in 90's arcades, but never today. Only can be recommend for hardcore fans of arena fighting and this genre. its good rating just discredits the veracity of Steam reviews and votes.

Just getting started when I write this but hoo boy. It's like a frickin' Diablo Souls or somethin'. It's hard as nuts but also fun as nuts. Like... A really hard Diablo 3 on the PS3. Hitting buttons to fight and having the whole neatness of it. Would love to learn the lore of this world and see this game become a big ol' thingie but we'll see. I'm sure some early hitters took a while to hit it big anyway. Like, was The Binding of Isaac an instant hit? I mean. I honestly don't know but... probably not?? Anyway, I like. Basically bought it for the girl with a giant katana was like "dat me" and purchased the game. Found out the sword isn't realeased yet and to play the girl who uses it anyway has a difficult unlock method. Well. To basically get my money's worth I got a lot of work to do. Support this game y'all.

Fun game! Can't wait to play more!

Great game! Tough to stay alive until you get some items.

Great stuff! Combat seems super rewarding. Now i just need to get good...
