Death Kid

One of the most enjoyable arcade indie games of recent years. A solid and satisfying combat system with tons of combos and techniques. Quite difficult at first, but gets easier later in the game. You feel like you're getting stronger with each upgrade. Top pixel art and music. Cute main adversary and micro story. Good job Poland! : - ) One con - too easy in the late game, getting top 3% achievments felt like cheating after some of the upgrades. Much easier than mid game when you try to beat the game for the first time.

Fun, short experience. Sounds and animations are pretty good, I especialy liked the soundtrack for the level before final boss. Tbh I wasn't expecting to like the gameplay since I don't play roguelikes/lites, but it was fun. I like the idea that you're protecting souls form a horde, rather then being the one in danger. I have to say though, I feel as if this this was supposed to be a different game at some point. Idk maybe that's not it, but something just didn't click for me. Not that I didn't enjoy playing, I just have some complaints: - The second time I had a run in which I went through all the levels (not including the boss) I felt bored with the linearity. - I wasn't invested in additional abilities. Using anything other then the basic dash and combos felt a bit like a waste of time. - The need to grind sucked the fun out of playing. Though the short time it takes to complete levels in irl was a saving grace here. I'm not going to end on a negative note though, because I did have fun: + Sound design is good. The soundtrack should be uploaded to spotify or youtube. + Animations look and feel amazing. + Fast pace held my attention well. + Game has a cool concept. + Game has interesting monster designs. + I like the eye guy. He's pretty funny. Whatever the ♥♥♥♥ he's doing, I'm allowing it.

This is great pixel art Roguelike that is easy to pick up and play. Fun combat and solid meta progression. A for sure buy! https://youtu.be/_tQ66M-Uwlo?si=t8kE2X7LDyuRhxfr

Really fun game. Classic brawler feel but with its own style. The pixel art is super nice and detailed but not too busy. You can tell a lot of love went into it. Music fits the mood, doesn’t get repetitive and adds to the atmosphere. It’s the kind of game you pick up and just enjoy right away. No need to figure out too much, just jump in and have a good time. Solid work, definitely worth checking out!

Death Kid is a simple but satisfying arena brawler that takes place inside a dangerous prison, each level descends you further in your quest to achieve the 'cog'. You are essentially stuck in limbo unable to pass on & unable to die. This cog is the key to your salvation. You must break the cog to break the cycle of immortality. In every level the objective is to protect three different balls of energy (souls), each one has a different health bar and if all three souls get absorbed by the enemy then you will have to start again from level one. You cannot die but you can be stunned by the enemies which will slow you down giving the enemy time to absorb the souls and potentially causing you to fail the level. there are always three different enemy types in every stage. the normal ones that slowly advance upon the objective, the bigger bulkier enemy whose only mission will be to try to stun you & finally the throwable enemies which you can use to slow down advancing enemies. Strategizing which enemy types to focus on first can be key to victory! There are 8 levels in total and because this game is a rogue-lite if you die you will restart back to level one again and have to start all over again. Skill points & abilities do carry over so each attempt will make the game easier with the added attack power/stats. The levels are generally only a couple of minutes long so if you do for example end up dying on the final stage it will only take you 10-15 minutes maybe less depending on how strong you are to get back to where you were before. Personally i am a beginner to the rogue-lite genre but found myself able to complete the entire game in roughly two hours. It felt like there was just the right amount of challenge for it to be challenging but not stressful. However, if you are a veteran i could see how you might find this game a little easy. Combat is quite simple and i ended up just dashing around and mashing the normal physical attack most of the time as i found it faster & more efficient than charging up the stronger powers but there are a few different abilities that you can choose from. To conclude i think this is a great game for people new to the rogue-lite genre as it's not too difficult, it's simple & it's easy to get the hang of and will only take you a couple of hours to complete :-) If you are interested in seeing the game in action here is my full playthrough of the game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XnmfTisEAs

カジュアルなローグライクゲームで、現在は日本語に対応している。 ゲームオーバーになることで内容が進行するゲーム性で、フワっとしたストーリー、音楽、アニメーションが魅力で、これのおかげでゲームを続けることができる。 一般的なローグライクゲームと比較すると、ラン中の選択肢が少なく、単純なプレイヤースキルに依存している部分があり、ゲーム性は少し単調かもしれない。 目立ったバグもなく、遊びやすい操作性だが、数時間もあれば攻略できてしまうボリュームなので、買うならセール狙った方が良いと思う。
