Haque

Fun.

Haque is an indie gem covered in delightful glitchy filth. It's a roguelike with simultaneous turn-based gameplay that you control the pace of. The soundtrack, OOOOOOOOH it HITS, boi. The acoustic guitar backed by this haunting synth works with the unique visual presentation to make a style of its own. I want more Haque-core things. I've been doing a run each night before bed to see how far I can Haque it. My first character was Roland Goldmuscle, a beefy human fighter. It wasn't until my second night playing that I realized the characters are completely randomly generated. I will always remember Roland, This game was made with a lot of humor and heart and I highly recommend it.

genuinely my comfort game. Got it in a bundle on itch, loved it so much i bought it again. The story is rad as hell, the vibes are So Fresh & touching, the characters/dialogue can be so genuinely funny. it's a challenging delicious lil artsy piece that i can't stop replaying. There's still builds i haven't thunk up yet. Love you Haque, merry christmas (& yes, you can throw big rock)

this one was ASS dont play

This would probably be a fun game if I could read any of the text.

Pros: * Love the "glitch fantasy" theming, story, music. It's definitely a game with character * Great controller support * Nice variety of builds and weapons to explore * Not too easy or too hard Cons: * Seems like the game could be better balanced. I tried to succeed with a variety of different builds, but found there was one type of build that seemed to do better than others. (I won't tell you which to avoid spoiling it.) * Combat system not always well explained, especially around the "elemental" subsystem. So sometimes decisions about which gear to use feel a little arbitrary. * Procedurally generated levels are a bit formulaic.

Unequivocally one of the best roguelikes that's come out in years. This game was doing the kind of character-focused narrative that Hades became famous for *years* before Hades came out. The boss encounter design is top-tier, and the variety and viability of builds is tremendous. It plays great with a gamepad, too. I'm a huge sucker for the pixellated art design, too.
