About
Fate of the Seventh Scholar puts a unique spin on the bullet heaven genre by mixing satisfying combat and build crafting with exploration and puzzle solving.
You will explore a handcrafted map that is not randomly generated, and as you explore the world you'll face unlockable weapons, puzzles, mysteries and boss fights.
As you unravel the story of the scholars, perhaps you can put an end to the corrupted reign of the Scholar of the Sun.

The scholars, rulers of the seven realms, are amassing their forces. Some still serve their fallen king, and some possess their own agenda. One thing is certain, this realm you find yourself in is in absolute disarray. As you try to fight your way and explore the world, you'll find pieces of lore and meet many characters.

Fight thousands of enemies, as well as a variety of bosses with an arsenal of unique weapons, each featuring a satisfying upgrade path. Complement your weapons with powerful passives obtained from exploration and fighting mini bosses.

Unlock weapons, artifacts, consumables and characters through boss fights, exploration and puzzle solving. Every unlockable makes meaningful impact and allows interesting playstyles. Curiosity and exploration is rewarded with many secret items.

As you learn the lay of the land and unearth the many secrets of this realm, you might stumble upon a way to permanently end the curse that corrupts the minds of the scholars. Fate of the Seventh Scholar features a true ending that will slowly reveal itself.

While the game itself has an interesting concept with a static map and persistent changes to that map, the short length of the game (~5-6 to 100%) means it's hard to justify the ~$10 price tag, especially as the game has no replayability. If not for the price I would have given this a thumbs up.
I found this game to be a gem. Its not very long, but it was really enjoyable.
Nice and relaxing gameplay, perfect way wind down after a long day, specially with an analog thubstick gamepad. I see some comments are about replayability, but honestly I find it super replayable, as you can go with various skill upgrade pathways and totally change the experience. Worth the price.
Fun game, a bit rough around the edges especially in the mid-game but unique enough to be engaging.
A very fun survivors-like that rewards exploration in a whole new way. What makes this different from other games in the genre? Having a permanent map full of puzzles, biome-specific enemies (including bosses), in-world meta progression pick-ups instead of an unlock menu, and the ability to unlock weapon variants. There were a few times where I got stuck trying to work out what the next puzzle was/what I needed to do, but with a bit of exploration it all came together in the end. My only suggestion would be to make the map visible in the tab menut once you've fully unlocked all 5 map pieces. Other than that, great value for money and an enjoyable time all around!
I discovered this game through a YouTuber’s recommendation and decided to download it. The game features many small challenges and well-crafted designs. It’s not just a simple level-up-and-fight game. You can really tell how much care the developers put into it. There are many hidden storylines waiting to be unlocked. Although I haven’t solved all the puzzles yet, the journey itself has been incredibly engaging. Absolutely worth it!
Unique bullet heaven with puzzles and exploration being the main source of progression. Fun breath of fresh air in a genre that is often left feeling somewhat stale. I need to put more time into the game, but even if it is a 5-6 hour game as another review stated, I think its more than worth the $10 price tag as long as you go into it with that in mind. It is a story/puzzle/exploration game at its core, with bullet heaven type gameplay, not the other way around.
The first Bullet Heaven game where I truly love the map! It's fun to explore and unlock new areas and upgrades. Plus it's got a cheerful sword and sorcery style, and the XP and <3 animations are very satisfying and bouncy to collect.
Pretty fun game. This genre can usually get repetitive and feel boring once you level up enough. This game addresses that by having characters with various traits that force you to change playing styles. But there is a map that needs to be explored and secrets to uncover! The addition of puzzles you need to solve while you're fighting everyone adds a level of tension that is very fun and frustrating to play with. This is a great improvement to the genre and I'd love to see more work from the developer.
As a fan of both survivor-likes and puzzle games like Obra Dinn, Outer Wilds etc. I really enjoyed this one. Unlike many other survivor-likes it doesn't try to provide infinite replayability, it's more like a ~8-10 hour adventure with meaningful content. The playable characters play differently enough and exploring the map was fun with lots of set pieces.
