Only playing for an hour or so, I already love this game, it's challenge, and how quickly you can blast thru it (likely towards your death). It's just a lot of fun and really encompasses the retro aesthetic on a level most games cannot replicate, but still has the speed and fluidity of something modern and a bit more polished. It's not perfect and could still use some fine tuning, but very minor gripes aside, I know that I will come back to this again and again. It's one of those games I can fire up and play a few quick rounds of when I need to reset my brain between projects. This is just all around good, fun stuff.

About This Game
Riptale is a challenging 2D roguelike action game aiming to make sword combat be as bloody and impactful as possible. The player collects gems that allow them to execute different attacks in the order of their choosing. All this results in a symphony of combos that fill the screen with blood and guts. If Riptale was a board game it would shoot scissors at you.
Instead of erratic hacking of the attack button the player must instead first aim at their target and then strike. The attacks are powered by arcane gems which make them powerful enough to bring down the ancient dragons threatening the world. Each gem takes a few moments to recharge, which means the attacks must be planned carefully lest they run out at the worst possible moment.
