Inkbound

its absurd that this game isnt more popular, its amazing

Really difficult game for me. Killed last boss one time, all other times felt like Sisyphus work because I couldn't even kill first boss. All of that gives feeling like one successful time was pure luck and for me it's too hard to feel any joy from runs. Probably, with investment of more time I'd learn how to play, but this investment feels too painful

Pros: Not ping dependant Lots of options for skills and trinkets Combat feels very nice Cons: Very grindy, which to befair is expected from roguelites Not a fan of the MMO aspect, very unecessary Not a fan of the DRM options they chose

While it's short, [i]Inkbound[/i] has enough variety and content to make it worth the asking price. Variety in enemies is low, and there are only a small number of stages. The interesting variety comes from the interesting builds you can accomplish, and how you cope with the smattering of powerful items and passive abilities you accumulate through a game. Multiplayer is by far the most fun way to play. The game difficulty is very poorly balanced for 1 or 4 people, and seems to work best at 2 or 3. At 4, enemy AoE attacks and HP scaling become difficult to manage. At 1, you lack versatility. I would say that the unlock procedure for the aspects (classes) is tedious and takes far too long considering how short the game is. Because the game has few locations and few enemies, getting quicker access to all the classes would help keep ti fresh a bit longer. In particular, the most recent aspect at time of writing, the Star Captain, didn't get unlocked at all by 2 or the 4 members of my play group before we decided to retire the game. Still, overall I recommend it, if you have a small group and enjoy developing builds.

感觉任务的设计就是专门水时长用的， 又臭又长， 让我想起了页游的自动寻路做任务，我就像那个AI

Quite a fun game once you figure out all the various mechanics. I'm sad to learn that it's no longer being updated by the Dev team, but understand the reasons why. Regardless, I would love to see 2 more Aspects at some point in the future.

7/10 - Hades-style roguelike with turn-based combat similar to that seen in Transistor. Worth a play Pros: Polished, crunchy game play experience that keeps you glued to your seat during a run (~60 minutes) as you try to build game-breaking combos. Co-op is a nice addition and adds incredible strategic depth. Cons: Clearly tries to capture the magic of Supergiant games like Hades, but the dialogue, story, and other intangibles simply fall short
