Rogues Like Us

This one lost my interest very rapidly. When you start out it seems decent enough. The graphics are simple but work, the pacing feels nice, and the difficulty is about where you would want it to be. But there is just -ZERO- meat on the bones of this game. The framework is all it has. You dont get anything transformative like new powers or abilities, you dont get items with interesting effects, and from what I've seen literally every weapon and armor piece is just alterations on stats. This could change if you make it further in the game, but everything I've seen indicates this as being the case. The only items with effects are trinkets, and they are minor effects. There is also a very bad bug that exists (for me at least) that if you alt+tab the frame rate cuts in half and starts to severely stutter. The only way I was able to resolve it is close the game and re-open. This bug made the game close to unplayable simply from alt+tabbing. There is no reason to ever play this game, it h...

Definitley one of the better Indie games I've played. Should say ahead of time I'm not a Kickstarter backer just found this game browsing through Steam. There are a lot of things I enjoy about this game, i'll get into that below. What I like: -Progression. While it's still in an early state the progession system isn't bad. Each dungeon level you get treasure, which you can in turn open back at the Hub. The items you get from them range from gems to empower your weapons, armour, dye, and weapons. You definitley see yourself powering up overtime atleast early in the game. -The Art style. Love the graphics and how the game looks and feels. -Soundtrack. Honestly love the music. -The bosses. Each boss has several mechanics to watch out for. Feels like Zelda boss fights, and it's fun to see yourself figure out the mechanics of a boss after fighting it a few times. -Loot/Customization. Love the customization in this game. There are a ton of Dyes to collect, multiple armour sets, and quite a...

Rogues Like Us is unsurprisingly a Roguelike dungeon crawler with hack and slash combat that’s currently in early access on steam. It’s a pretty basic game, one sword attack, one ranged attack and one area of effect attack alongside a quick dodge and that’s all you’ve got to work with at least early on. There’s a few different weapons to choose from with different damages and speeds but that’s about it for variety. There’s plenty of cosmetic changes which you can gather through loot giving you different colours or armour pieces but these are purely cosmetic which is a little disappointing. The enemy composition has a little variety ranging from these green blob dudes, some turrets that burrow underground and this robot spheres that float around. All of them have a specific routine to kill and the main difficulty for me was timing my dodges and after a few goes it became quite easy. I only fought one boss who was a giant sandworm thingy and I beat him first time but only j...

In this game, you go through procedurally generated dungeons and gather loot chests that contain a bunch of things, from Stones, to Weapons, to Cosmetic Gear Items, even different color dyes for your gear as well. There are currently only Five levels to go through from what I've been told, but its an EA game so... yeah. But on the bright side, the layout of the dungeon is procedural so it feels like something slightly different each time. As for the combat, I'm enjoying it. Your weapon's combat style affects the gameplay quite a bit, which I like. You have your Lighter weapons which attack faster but have less damage, your Medium weapons that are a good balance between the two, and the Heavy that has more damage but less attack speed. There are a few abilities in the game as well, which further adds to the combat side of things. Dash, which acts as a sort of Blink in other games. It allows you to traverse the dungeon with more ease and dodge/evade attacks. Soul Blast is your ranged ab...

The combat is a classic easy to learn, tough to master type. The story easy to follow, and the game rewards players that clear areas flawlessly. It's well worth the price. The difficulty isn't too hard, especially if you are playing with a controller instead of mouse and keyboard. I would highly recommend this game.

Great indie game i just randomly picked up on steam today. Highly recommend a controller but im using mouse and keyboard just fine. I love the fact that the dungeons are random everytime. Always makes for good replay value. Sound effects and special effects are nice and no crashes so far. Good job oddByte!!

Pretty fun game, runs can be fairly quick too.

A decent game with consistent menu and helpful tutorial. Online co-op would have been nice.

Bought the game on release to try something new. Not normally a hack n' slash player, and still not a good one, but I found fun in this game. The game rewards players for dungeons that they complete, with each succeeding one being harder that the last. Combat is typical of the genre, and very straight forward, but there are some special attacks movement abilities that make it unique to itself. The bosses are unique and fun to play against, albeit a bit simple. The randomness of the layout of the dungeons as well as the weapons and possible enchantments make each run unique, although I still have my favorite items and weapons to use. The rewards come in the form of chests which contain armor, weapon enchantments, armor dyes, or weapons which are given to the player as rewards for defeating a boss at the end of a dungeon, and are purchasable in game from a merchant with ingame currency. (Hooray! No microtransactions) The story is present throughout the dungeon runs, but this is not a sto...
