1000 Seconds

I'm playing Steam games in alphabetical order, and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/F98dnLySPIg Prefer to read? 1000 Seconds is a The Binding of Isaac-like themed around time. It deviates in terms of movements and a few other mechanics, but the inspiration is undoubtedly there. As far as a premise goes, it's fine. The execution however is lacking. Poor hit-boxes, an unwieldy dash mechanic, a weapon system where you don't know what you're swapping to, and relics that don't allow for interesting player builds or decisions because they are almost always better to take than not. A lot of these problems could be solved by simply providing the player with more information, such as a journal/bestiary to show items obtained and monsters defeated, explanations of status effects and more. The difficulty balance is also slightly off, with the gameplay very quickly swinging from "enemies have to much health" to "I'm unstoppable". There's a competent foundation here, but it doesn't quite come together into a coherent package. I wouldn't recommend this game unless you're a die-hard fan of the genre, but I am interested to see what their next project is as they have some neat ideas.

手残，不擅长玩这种游戏，平时用的键盘也不在手头，打了快两个小时才通第一个地图，先留个好评。 游戏总共1000秒，需要“用时”1000秒打穿所有boss才能通关。游戏左上角有计数，以那个为准。游戏中可以遇到特殊房间并消耗对应的东西（下面一排左边的时钟，生命，剩余时间）来进入并获取物品（有的免费有的需要花费剩余时间）。打完1图的boss时给咱减了挺多时间来着。游戏初始10个角色（等找到怎么解锁对应角色再补上角色开启部分），角色初始有不同的效果并携带不同的魔法球（官方翻译是能量球，个人感觉有点怪。这东西就是魔杖顶上的那个球球，取魔杖magic wand的第一个单词magic配上orb一起翻译，魔法球，感觉好一些）。魔法球打关时会有一定概率掉落，捡起可以……呃……换掉当前的魔法球（应该是这样的吧）。 然后是（刚发售时版本）最大的一个问题：根本不知道每个东西有什么效果只能靠猜。游戏有适配中文，但是很多需要文本的地方文本没能及时显示出来。花了一条命进了特殊房间，看到俩物品想看看是什么，结果过去一下就捡起来看不到效果了（可以看到闪现了文本框）；开箱开出了个新的魔法球，结果看不到魔法球的效果，局外也看不到魔法球的效果，刚玩基本得把所有的新的魔法球都看一遍。只有局内打怪物时能看到类似暴击时怪物身上挂的状态。冰冻、隐身、灼烧还算是能看特效懂效果，闪电标志、蓝色Z标志又是干什么的呢？不知道。还有一些小问题，像是靠近魔法球时上面已经显示了捡起的按键，但是需要再靠近直到差不多贴上才能捡起来，不过开发者说会在下个版本修。 接下来的碎碎念全可以归结到“咱打得菜”上来。魔法球的攻击散射比较严重，隔着不到半个地图打固定靶就已经比较马，至少一半攻击打不中了。散射高的情况下，1层的圆表盘在被打后又飞得飞快很难打中。鸟（没看错的话）的机制是一直向前皮球似的弹，每次向下落时差不多会落到玩家在的那一行，本身就已经不好躲了，打鸟更是吃运气，人追着跑一个来回都不定能中几发……
