Brick Odyssey

Okay I'm rewriting this whole review. The game is still a HUGE recommended. Even more so now that the dev has added a lot of new content like classes, bosses and relics, and all for free with more to come from what I understand. Some people have said this game looks like a meme game because of the graphics. But looks are deceiving. Brick Odyssey requires your full focus (and if you don't believe me, just watch some streamers when they play it for the first time). It's a difficult game with lots of cool, inventive mechanics, some outright make you go "wtf was that??" and I'm here for every second of it. After a while you forget the graphics. You don't need good graphics to enjoy this game, but I can understand if it's an issue for some. The thing is though you're so focused on beating the levels that you just don't have time to worry about how pretty it could look. The game was more difficult before but the dev listens to feedback and made it so that most everyone should be able to beat storm level 0 now (storm levels add modifiers that make the game harder, up to level 15).

Easily one of the best brick breaker roguelikes out there. So many quirky/experimental game mechanics in this game as well. Super Super fun. Reminds me a lot of Peglin but it's def it's own unique experience. Really hope it keeps getting updated! https://youtu.be/0qpYtSTql2E

Be careful not to judge it on graphics alone, the game is one of incredible concept and a strangely addictive twist, brick after brick, hoping to hit the Pyro among the steel. It creates an incredible tension for such a simple game. I definitely recommend it, even if I was not given the game for free.

Sick and cool

I found Brick Odyssey to be an incredibly enjoyable game. The game's core mechanic of breaking blocks to damage and destroy enemies is simple yet effective, and the various power-ups and upgrades available throughout the game add depth to the enjoyment. I do like a good bullet point list, so below you can find just that! [list] [*]There are a number of different enemies, elites and bosses all with there own mechanics and unique block layouts. [*]You can add different types of blocks as you progress, sort of like deck building. [*]Relics can be added throughout the run for passive bonuses going forward. [*]Four playable characters with different mechanics. [*]The three points above can be combined to make some great synergies. [*]Ongoing additions, updates and bug fixes from the developer. [*]Graphics are not the best but do not detract from the enjoyment of the game. [*]Some of the text is not 100% clear but also not too difficult to figure out. [/list] All in all this game has a wonderfully addictive game loop and enough differing combinations to keep you coming back for more. I really look forward to playing more of this game and seeing what is going to come next for it.

Fun brick-breaker, real-time twist on the Peglin formula with much more skill-based gameplay (due to the classic brick breaker gameplay) and very creative mechanics! The combat and brick breaker layers are actually intertwined here. Some enemies will fire projectiles *into* the brick breaker board, so you have to actively dodge them. Others might try to grab the ball out of play (which can be dodged by recalling it at the right time). Didn't expect this many fun and clever twists, so definitely a positive surprise! :)

**I got the game for free** Now that is out of the way, I used to play a ton of brick break games back in the old flash games days and this game does a great job of turning those in to a fun little rogue-lite. The relic combos are super fun. I may be bad at it or the game is hard but I have been having fun playing it!

This is a great game, absolutely fun and addictive. Why should you buy it? - There's lots of fun and viable build designs. This isn't a game with only 2-3 winning strategies. - Amazing boss designs with unique feel and mechanics. You'll have to observe, think, adapt and be creative to defeat them. - Lots of replayability, stuff to unlock, etc. - You can make absolutely crazy builds with some creativity and luck. - Simple mechanics, but with a lot of depth. - Flavorful random events. - Lots of hidden easter eggs. - Pretty artwork. /!\ WARNING /!\ 1. DO NOT ENABLE MOUSE CONTROL UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN'T USE KEYBOARD 2. LEARN TO USE RECALLS 3. READ EVERYTHING ON THE SCREEN 4. HIGHER RESET THRESHOLD IS GOOD

[h1] Good...! I have played for a while and the game has its own charm. [/h1] Imagine Peglin but with more proactive ball mechanics: it's not just the usual Arkanoid mechanic, but the new bricks (which come as loot from battles) increase battle engagement. I bit struggled with a Hydra boss, but probably, I just need to adjust and be more patient with where the ball goes :x [b] So, in summary: [/b] [list] [*] + good roguelite experience [*] + several heroes with different approaches [*] + unique gameplay (Arkanoid + auto battler) [*] - graphics is quite simplistic (IMHO) [*] - hard to adjust to gameplay (my personal skill issue :D) [*] - maybe price? I dunno... [/list] [quote] Overall, a good game that needs more attention.[/quote] Cheers!

So fun! I love the combination. If you enjoy playing breakout and like making builds, this is the game for you. The characters actually feel unique and play differently, you actually have to have different strategies for each.
