Aethermancer

Roguelike + Creature Collection = Fun times

我只能說 超級好玩 但是也是有一些缺點 先說好的部分 1.裡面每一種怪獸有3個不一樣的特點 依照這些特點可以在局內構築3隻不同怪獸之間的特性 招式 這是主要的肉鴿部分 搭配非常多元 真的有超級多的流派可以玩 每個怪獸還有異化可以抓 局外升級之後又可以有更多的搭配 我現在過了4-5次感覺還有不少沒玩過 2.精神時光屋 一局大概落在40-60分鐘 如果想要殺時間的話蠻推薦的 3.畫風不錯 這種像素風格本來就有它自己的受眾群體 每個怪獸的動作都是獨一無二的 沒有一個動作套到底的問題 4.局外升級蠻多樣的 但就算沒有升多少也不會影響你過關 有升當然會更容易 但不升戰力的方面也還好 再來說說缺點 遊戲的流程其實頗為單調 但看得出製作組有想解決這方面的問題 除了有3個岔路可選之外 搜搜地圖內的金幣以太等等 還有一些事件可以觸發 還可以找牙齒(但牙齒只能裝飾家裡有點沒用) 是會稍微緩解你的疲倦感 但還是不夠 玩久了還是會流程疲勞 就是那種一玩就好幾個小時 然後就會丟在倉庫裡面生灰 過一段時間才會再拿出來

Played it for 100+ hours with at least 30+ hours in the demo. Is it good? Yeah. As of Alchemical Awakening update, I've unlocked all the monsters and their shifted versions and have cleared the game at vestige 3 the highest difficulty, but not cleared highest difficulty with all monsters. Fun synergies, combos, and teams. It would be nice if there was a sandbox mode or seeded run or something to test out specific things. It can be a little disappointing to start a run hyped to try out something only to not get offered any of the types or choices you want. That exact randomness makes every single run different even when building a monster in the same way. Also sometimes running around the generated maps sometimes feels bored and repetitive. The monsters, actions, traits and types are in my opinion where the game shines. The alchemist class lets you switch the passive, elements, and types of your monsters means you can get really Frankenstein and have unique runs. The final boss fights are interesting, and makes me want more variety after fighting mini biome bosses that are monsters you can capture. The Khepri fight in particular is mechanically fun with sun and moon phases. Bam perfectly formatted and not rambling review.

Only complaint is lack of content but it's not a full release yet so that's not a real complaint.

The combat system, sheer amount of variety, art, and music are awesome. There's a huge depth to the strategy where I feel like the team building strategy is just starting to click 20 hours in. I also like the characters. I appreciate how they're all quirky in unique ways.

This game is phenomenal. I’ve seen people make comparisons to Pokemon, and that truly does Aethermancer a disservice. Incredible amount of challenge and depth of strategy makes it so addicting. Subtle lore in the background that adds to the game without being bloated is a nice touch. Scratches the same itch that Slay the Spire or Darkest Dungeon does for me.

These developers are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idiots. The end game boss (Chernobog) is the stupidest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ encounter one could possibly make for this game. From start to this boss, you will have the SAME gameplay. You get to this boss? Its like playing an entirely different game - especially with the boss exploiting corruption - which you CAN NOT get rid of in the middle of a fight consistently. Summons with no health and need to have their poise broken to get rid of? Not introduced at all beforehand. From these summons: A non debuff condition that adds a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of corruption to your minions if they take an action? Not introduced prior at all. A creature that creates a damn near 1 to 1 replica of your monsters? Not introduced prior at all. Fire the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moron who designed that boss. It has to be some of the most incompetent hamfisted trash tier out of place design I've seen to date in 30+ years of gaming. Completely ended my desire to continue playing. You have to tailor the run to deal with these bosses, with a constrictive party system that is a pain in the ass to swap out creatures. Especially the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that scraps their gear on swapping. The boss design means you have no build variety, which means there is no point in having a ton of monsters to capture. It went from enjoyable, being able to make the party I WANT and then adjust/play better/pay the price to keep going down that path....to now I have to tailor everything to get past the first end game boss. I could slug it out against enemies with mismatches and poor optimization (including against mini bosses) and still win. I might be a bit worse off, I might adjust a little bit - but I could still do it without issue and run the group I WANT TO RUN. Now every run I start is completely focused on the bosses, that isn't fun. That makes experimenting and off builds unviable. 5 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years and this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss is the best you can come up with? I'd refund if I could.
