Elsie

Elsie is a super-addictive rogue-like that I enjoyed my time with. Doesn't stack up with some of the other big dogs in the genre but has great potential. My full review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP9lIQDp9BU&t=64s

As someone who has no experience in this type of games, it's very fun and challenging. I think that no matter how you feel about the game afterwards, a good time is guaranteed. Of course, the game is much better with a controller than with a keyboard, since the experience feels like is clearly not designed for the latter.

I've enjoyed this game on both Switch and PC. This fun fast paced game is easy to pick up. I love how each run feels genuinely unique, and I love how overpowered you feel when you complete a run. Very Satisfying!

Enjoyable game; the music and art are very good.

I have played this game for over 60 hours on Playstation, and as someone who grew up loving Mega Man-style games, Elsie immediately clicked with me. The movement is fast, the combat is chaotic in the best way possible, and the game does an amazing job at feeding into that “power fantasy” feeling. Instead of constantly feeling weak and struggling to survive like a lot of roguelikes, Elsie lets you create absurdly overpowered builds that make you feel like a complete menace by the end of runs. The soundtrack is incredible, the pixel art and animated cutscenes are full of personality, and the writing has this cheeky, sarcastic charm that gives the game a ton of identity. The recent updates have also improved the experience a lot. New chest systems, better progression options, Overdrive Mode, item scrapping, collectibles, and overall polish make the game feel even more rewarding and replayable than before. My only real frustration has been the grind for 100% completion, especially farming Arc Light Coins to unlock everything in the shops, but I know that’s pretty normal for the genre and the newer updates help smooth that out quite a bit. You can tell the dev team genuinely cares about this game and has continued refining it long after launch. If you like fast-paced action roguelites, Mega Man-inspired gameplay, insane movement, and chaotic overpowered builds, Elsie is absolutely worth checking out.

同じ名前って事でフレンドからゲーム化してるって言われて知った作品ですがとても面白いです 個人的には難易度が高く感じますがこういったアクションに慣れてる人は良いのかもしれない？

I dont have that much playtime yet, so i will update this later when i played more, but ive wanted to give my first impressions of this game The last time i played jump n run platformer games was when the Ori games came out, so obviously im not the best at them, however in less than 3 hrs of playtime i managed to get the hang of the controls pretty well, to the point i do not struggle too much with them anymore. This game is extremely challenging, i never played roguelike games before except for the souls like games so i wasnt aware how challenging these levels are, but im determined to clear them all with patience and time. I like that the levels change everytime you die, i tend to be someone i get bored by repetitive patterns so this keeps me on my toes and away from getting frustrated I love the pixel art! the colors and details are amazing and the character sprites and voice acting were amazing from what ive seen so far a big compliment to the devs for creating a challenging game that requires skill but wont make you frustrated and rage quit if you fail. like i died so many times already and have not gotten frustrated once, i am actually enjoying myself even if i make no progress, managing that is hard for game devs , so i gotta give my respect for that the only thing i have to critisize is the tutorial, its not always very clear what it wants from you. therre was this part where it wanted me to reflect incomingg dmg with the shield and only showed me the button config of putting your dodge shield up but not the combination for the reflect shield aka rb + lb , it took me a couple tries of random button smashingg to figure it out. the tutorial needs a bit of overworking imo, other than that i really enjoy this game and will continue playing
