Reynard

[h1]Video (gameplay + commentary):[/h1] https://youtu.be/p_zRATCTO2Y [h1]Summary:[/h1] We're really enjoying it! The graphics are charmingly retro and the chiptunes music is super catchy. Gameplay wise, it's kind of a fast and loose mix of old school Zelda and Binding of Isaac. You delve into dungeons, collect some coin, and most of all, try not to die as this will result in having to start over (we think) since it's a roguelike. You'll run into bosses to kill, items to buy, NPCs to talk to, and there's also a tower defense element to the game. The tower defense part is a little tricky and we're still getting the hang of it, and the whole game has something of an intense learning curve at first, but that element of discovery is one of the great things about a roguelike. Overall quite enjoyable. As Reynard is in early access, we're sure there's going to be a bunch of tweaking, and we're looking forward to how it all develops.

This game is an absolute fever dream of good ideas executed in baffling and bizarre ways. I had a lot of fun with this game – I’d dare say I was addicted for a while – but there’s just so much to unpack here that I’m rather at a loss for words. I’ve put off this review for long enough, so I’m going to do my best, but this is such a weird one that I can’t guarantee that my writing will be coherent. You’re Reynard, an intelligent fox who lives on a remote island, home to a mysterious spring that makes animals smarter when they drink from it. One day, an evil wizard comes to investigate the power of the spring. H...

If you are looking for a challenging roguelike, you'll like Reynard.

Good Game - I died to the rats a lot, and my desktop icons laughed at me - then patch 0.8.8 came, and I was unstoppable - Its a lovely friendly game but challenging and will keep you coming back for more.

It's a below-average dungeon crawler with a rune system that adds small damage buffs to weapons that can have runes slotted in them. The tower defence sections are heavily based on luck. The TD maps are not balanced at all, so it's a matter of "Can I beat this map with a few bubble turrets?" If not, then you lose. The only one i've managed to beat is where the stairway is right next to two tower spots and there's only one direction the enemies can come from. The game is cute, but there just isn't much meat here.

Its not bad, it just doesn't even come close to competing with the games it is drawing inspiration from. The mechanics and UI are just a bit too clunky and the stamina/inventory system with the combat is just needlessly awkward to manage. These are the games I would HIGHLY recommend you check out instead... -Binding of Issac -Hades -Enter the Gungeon -Monolith -Nuclear Throne

Oh. Wow, this game is hard. I appreciate the style, and the possibility of adding some difficulty options to make it well... Less hard, which the dev mentioned on another review sounds like it would fix this primary issue I have with it. In any case, I look forwards to that.

This game is pretty good for it´s price. A lot of stuff to discover and pretty easy to pick up

Lets just say, that I am not fan of that kind of fast game and also recommended to play with joypad. Nevertheless I tried game at friend house and after 10 min of playing the game I really started to enjoi it. The game is very challeging for me. I play with keyboard and I missclick so much, that hurts (as my english - I know : D ). The game offer some interesting stuff, which I really need to work it on. I really like crafting, potion shop, companions like dog that you rescue... For me as beginner, the tutorial is ok - it give you overview of the game. Maybe some clarification for the weapons and other stuff could be more explanatory ... But where is the fun, if they serve you everything on the plate. Have fun with the game!

Nostalgic old school 2D pixel graphic. Fun to play. Challange. Play a tutorial to learn all the basics ;)!
