Echoes of Mystralia

That is a good like hour of entertainment, I got to the forest boss soon in my 4th run, and I defeated it on that same run. I later used the Lighting fist thing to spam lighting balls and other abilities to make more of them, and gave it fire and ice effects and I can easily defeat anything in a couple seconds at most. As a example, I removed all the Hp from the training dummies in less than 2 seconds at the market town. I really liked this game, I just wished it would go deeper into the story. The only things I would say was bad are two things, there is a issue with the bridge before the first main boss, the forest boss, the bridge can stop your movement, which causes you to wiggle around before you can get past it. The second thing is that there is no content after the first main boss, the forest boss, as it shows nothing to click after it. I am forced to give up on that run and start a new one. My main combo would go so well once I get that extra piece for my spell, so I would love to see more content for this.

I don't think I've ever felt this disappointed and conflicted about a game. On the one hand, the universe, the spell-building system, and the art design are excellent. On the other hand, the game itself is incredibly frustrating. The difficulty feels poorly balanced, and the game is extremely punishing. Healing is scarce, and sometimes the spells you're offered simply don't allow you to put together a decent run. This is a roguelike where you're supposed to gradually improve, but when you have to do two runs just to unlock a Lotus item in the hope of making the next one slightly more manageable, progression quickly starts to feel painfully slow—especially when those runs are awful. I almost never leave reviews, but I'm making an exception here because I genuinely hope the game improves. The core ideas are really good, and there's clearly a lot of potential here. The problem isn't the foundation—it's the way the progression and difficulty are currently designed around it. I would really like to see the game evolve into something that does justice to its excellent core concepts. So, I'm going to stop playing for now. I might come back if the progression and difficulty systems get reworked, because in its current state, the only thing I've gotten out of the game is frustration. I haven't had any fun with it.

I'm shocked by the mixed reviews. So far I love this game! More than Hades actually. Made it past the first boss on my 2nd run. Feels challenging but good progression and lots more fun on new runs because of spellcrafting. I have the feeling this game is a lot more customizable than Hades in that sense.

Great addition to the rogue lite space that will only get better with time. The spell mixing is a refreshing and fun spin on the genre, and being able to freely change up your spells is wonderful. Look forward to playing it more

I have grown to like this game more and more than I think I would.

Game is fun ! for anyone saying its too hard. go few runs and get some upgrades. Story is good. Spells are so nice!! i like the way we can try so many different combinations. the only thing i found was average was the length of the story (too short). i finished it on my 2nd run and wouldnt mind Harder difficulty. ofcourse im missing few things to do and unlocks but now going for 100% achievements. here is what i would like to see in the future : 2-3 more difficulty Co-op with 1 other friend would be nice! :) mini map ? *as for the achievements, its gonna be hard to Remember every memories i used and or not. so something to keep those in check maybe. (just a preference, i dont mind writing them on my pad ~!) WORTH THE BUY/TRY . thank you !!

Very solid game. Price is on the high side for the amount of content available though. But to be fair it is Early Access. Lots of combinations and manipulation of your skills can spark creativity and unleash big power spikes. Worth a look if you like roguelikes for sure.
