Ancient: Legacy of Azul

I really like this game, i can see that it was inspired by the game called "Risk of Rain", although it could use some polishing, the idea of a 2D rougelike fantasy game is very interesting! I would love to see this game evolve into a beautiful masterpiece of a game!

I don't remember why I got this game in the first place, maybe because I liked the pixel art and the fights in the trailers and gameplay I saw. it's been sitting in my library for a while and today I gave it a try. I would like the time I spent on it back please. However the controls are so jankey and the movement is so terrible to the point that the game can't even be properly enjoyed to begin with. This is honestly terrible. Jumping often lags, the button doesn't respond, weird control scheme and a UI that's made for ants. The game doesn't respond to multiple inputs at once. You can't jump and press the movement button, it just makes you jump in a straight line. You have to be moving then jump (that fails too btw). Jumping near a ledge would 9/10 get you stuck in place. This results in taking damage, and losing your run since yep, you can't dodge nor change your position fast enough. There are flying enemies coming at you at all times, but you can't aim up or at an angle, so yes, you guessed it, you end up getting hit again because there's no aiming, nor directional attacks. You only attack in the direction you're facing. The tiny UI is very not player friendly on a laptop screen + the pixle-like font makes things impossible to read. Up-scaling the UI gets you a warning that it might cause issues in the HUD. Soo the dev is already aware how terrible the design choices are. 3% of people finished this game according to the achievement. I can certainly see why. Whatever cool aesthetics this game has going for it, is ruined by how bad the movement is. If I could a refund, I would.

Game is broken. I was checking out the video settings. Not sure what I did, but the game froze. Music kept playing, mouse cursor was fine, but game would not respond. Now when I start the game, all I get is a black screen with music playing. If it is this easy to break the game and make it unplayable....I have little faith in the rest of the game. Barely got to play it at all, so I cant say much about the game play. Edit: I have tried uninstalling, removing cloud save and reinstalling and I still just get a black screen. Unbelievable. smh

Ancient is a delightful and simple Rogue-like! It's well worth the $5 with its expanding characters and Easter eggs.

I played it once, don't really remember anything about it, clearly didn't have enough draw to hold me.

difficulty feels fair most of the time but much like the first risk of rain, first few items can really make or break a run. the classes you unlock feel well varied between each other. a great game and for the price it actually feels like a bit of a steal!

Really like this game. It feels a little clunky at first but once you get the hang of it, it is awesome. For 5 dollars, it's a steal. The price tag made me feel as if I was buying some cheap boring indie game that was unfinished and lacking in major areas. My only complaint is that the developer raise the price and don't undersell such an awesome experience. You have a really really good game here. I wish it could get some more promotion because it definitively deserves it. I had more fun in this game then I did in the original Risk of Rain. It isn't some junky copycat.

A very obvious Risk of Rain-like, but with some additions to the formula that do actually make it interesting. Still, I'd rather be playing Risk of Rain, even though I have my problems with it. Get this game if you just can't get enough of RoR.
