C:\raft

真不错啊

Doesn't feel like I progress very well and far in the game and wish there were more options with leveling and progressing the character. A tiny fan of it if it could improve in some way.

First Day: Desktop > New Text Document.txt I died to a door. Fun stuff. 10/10

This left early access. I tried it, and it has potential, but the controls are horrible. There is no tutorial, and whenever I try to press the c buttons, I have no idea how to trade and befrend other monsters. This game has a lot of neat stuff, but I don't even know how to use them. I play a smaller dungeon, but everything wants to kill me immediately. please help!

C:\raft is a retro pixel roguelike classical dungeon RPG. The game seems to seed the RNG for procgen dungeons using your filesystem, which is a nice gimmick but thematically doesn't work that well. The game has a lot of features like crafting as well as mods and so on, which is a little topheavy for a ripoff of Rogue/Hack. While many of the ideas in the game are interesting and there's a lot of potential, the game interface is confused and a little awkward to use. The worst part is the ugly retro pixel graphics and monochrome colours. Quite often, terrible games are accompanied by terrible graphics. Sometimes, perhaps sadly, potentially good games are accompanied by terrible graphics.

Great sound track, very interesting visuals in terms of the "hub" at the beginning of the game, but it's not very rewarding for how difficult it is to play. Most of the time you'll be walking back and forth on a level just to gain health or charge up an attack slot. I was very confused about what the controls are, and even more confused when I went to change my button settings. Pressing : or / for "A" "B" or "C" doesnt make much sense to me, I feel that Z X C would be better default buttons since their right below the wasd movement keys. However, I was hooked to playing this game for an hour and a half before I put it down, so I think its worth it to try. It's not quite my cup of tea, but it might be yours.
