Karradash - The Lost Dungeons

Really good rogue-lite for $4. Kind of an old school gauntlet-style shooter, but a LOT of content for the money. Death allows you to upgrade your town which upgrades future runs, but the upgrades themselves and quite varied and the number of useful items (potions, scrolls, weapons, etc.) you find is very high. If you like rogue-lites, and you are looking for a cool little game you can jump into for short runs, this is great.

Great game, a lot to do and figure out. The only issue is that I can't pick up any more rings or destroy the ones I have. This game is a lot of fun and worth a good 20+ hours.

一款rogule like的地下城探索游戏 初看的第一印象就是UI比较简陋，各种非常简单的按钮 游戏内容从设计上来看是非常复杂的，多样性的武器、技能、属性点 但真的进了游戏后你会发现，非常的单调重复：就是不停的逛地图，躲避敌人的攻击，然后远程攻击敌人 各种武器除了距离、伤害外，本质上没有什么不同，玩了好几把后只觉得敌人的成长性明显高于主角，而自己却没有太多好的方法去提升能力

This game is really fun, they are still ironing out some of the details but it's really well done. I play games like hero siege and diablo and this has the potential to be as good as both. They need to add more classes and add skills.

Serious 80's arcade Gauntlet vibe + roguelike with impactful improvements = recommend. It would be great if there was a feature to scroll over abilities and see what they do, since there is some trial and error in the early going, but for some players, that's part of the charm of a roguelike.

Karradash - The Lost Dungeons is a 2D retro pixel hybrid of a Rogue/Hack ripoff and a 2D top down shooter/brawler, where the turn/tick based combat mechanics are replaced with mediocre 2D top down twin stick shooting, but the gameplay itself is very reminiscient of the Rogue/Hack games. Throw an endless supply of knives at enemies, collect magic potions, increase your stats, rest and eat if it's safe, etc etc, as you ramble through endless samey procgen maps. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use samey repetitive procgen algorithms as a substitute for adding such content to the game, to avoid doing the important job of level/map design. As a result, the game doesn't actually have any content worth mentioning, just endless, boring, repetitive, soulless algorithmically generated sameyness. Developers must learn that procedural generation is not an acceptable substitute for content. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 5 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Karradash - The Lost Dungeons has the far too high price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

Очень странный рогалик с корявой пиксельной графикой, реалтаймовой бевкой и расковыриваемыми стенами лабиринта. От рогалика в нем осталась разве что возможность подбирать шмотки. Но в целом очень динамичный шутер с видом сверху, от которого я бы получил массу удовольствия, выйди он на ZX-SPECTRUM в 1985 году, а не сейчас на PC. Сейчас это просто кровь из глаз.
