Eldritch

Lovecraftiano y entretenido.

It's alright. My favorite part would be the gameplay, but it got pretty repetitive by the end. The first good run I had was my favorite, but trying to get to that point again was never as fun. This could just be me playing roguelikes wrong. I get the procedural generation is supposed to spice it up, but the lack of any really interesting mechanic made every run feel too similar. I just ran around until I found what I needed (the items/kits/boots never made that big an impact) until I died to something unexciting (enemies that do 2 hearts of health or getting stuck on a spike or consecutive tripwires). Still, moving around and fighting felt nice, and the vibe of the game made for both tense and goofy situations. Visuals were Minecraft-adjacent, yet charming. I think the use of color in the different levels was very pretty. The story was whatever. I wish some minor lore was given to each level to tie it into everything else, but it's clearly not the main draw. Overall, I'd recommend it because of its goofiness, visuals, and ok gameplay. I personally had a meh time with it, but roguelikes just might not be for me.

Gioco leggero e molto divertente, si trova spesso in sconto al prezzo di un kebab e l'esperienza ne vale almeno 2

Madness stalks the depths Ancient horrors twist the mind Courage breaks the dark

Very neat for 2013

I'm a HUGE fan of HP Lovecraft. I own several Cthulhu related board games and video games as well as the HP Lovecraft book with most of his short stories. This game is fun, frantic and fast paced. Took me a few runs to get my groove but once you get the mechanics and game play loop, it gets fun. Inspired by Mountains of Madness
