Hunchback's Dungeon

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43083373/]Clever games curator review: 5/10[/url]. A bland survivors style game held back by two main issues. (1) you only upgrade between waves so there's no incentive to pick up the coins that are dropped while playing, which means the action part of the game is 100% just running away, which gets boring fast. (2) weapons mostly amount to different auto-aim and auto-fired projectiles that feel very interchangeable. In between waves is the most interesting part of the game, as every buff comes with an additional debuff so there's some strategy in deciding which upgrades to take. But actually, those tradeoffs don't seem that impactful when you are playing. And at least to my middle-aged eyes the font choice and size makes reading those stats more painful than pleasurable. Maybe the game would get better when I unlocked more of the upgrades with repeated runs, but I played to the near end of a run (13 waves) and was looking forward to it being over. You can't hide all the good/fun stuff under unlocks. Music and graphics are very pleasant in a retro-minimalism kind of way. Controls are fine (gamepad).
