прикольная игра, графика красивая как по мне, мне понравилась, единственное цена какая то большая, а так можно купить на распродаже за чуть меньше сотки
legal, bem loco, empolgante.
画面看着顶+华容道被骗进来买的,手感实际上是屎 难度曲线不合理,rogue要素占比不多,地图随机性太强了 并且这个定价这个游戏性,我不好评价,只能说一二折再买
Loot River is an ambitious and unconventional action roguelike that distinguishes itself through a striking mechanical idea rather than sheer content volume or narrative density. Developed by straka.studio and published by straka.studio in collaboration with SUPERHOT PRESENTS, the game drops players into a bleak, flooded world of crumbling ruins, hostile creatures, and shifting architecture. From the outset, it becomes clear that Loot River is less interested in following established genre formulas and more focused on experimenting with how space itself can become an active part of combat, exploration, and survival. The defining feature of Loot River is its tile-sliding mechanic, which transforms the dungeon floor into a dynamic puzzle. Rather than navigating static rooms and corridors, players stand on floating landmasses that can be pushed and repositioned in real time. These tiles can be slid to bridge gaps, isolate enemies, create choke points, or escape dangerous situations. This mechanic fundamentally reshapes how players think about movement and positioning, turning every encounter into a blend of spatial reasoning and reflex-based combat. It gives the game a tactile, almost board-game-like quality, where controlling the environment can be just as important as swinging a weapon. Combat itself leans heavily into dark fantasy and soulslike sensibilities. Encounters are deliberate and punishing, emphasizing stamina management, dodge timing, and reading enemy behavior. Weapons feel heavy and purposeful, and careless aggression is often punished quickly. When combat and tile manipulation align, the result can be genuinely exhilarating, as players slide platforms to separate enemies or gain breathing room before committing to an attack. However, this balance is not always consistent. Enemy readability can be uneven, and some encounters feel more chaotic than tactical, especially when multiple foes converge on a small tile with limited room to maneuver. Progression follows a familiar roguelike structure, with each run offering temporary upgrades, equipment, and abilities that reset upon death, alongside more permanent advancements unlocked through a central hub. These systems provide a sense of forward momentum, encouraging repeated attempts even after failure. However, the variety of builds and long-term progression options is relatively restrained, and over time the repetition inherent in procedural generation becomes more noticeable. While the sliding tile mechanic keeps exploration interesting, the surrounding systems do not always evolve enough to maintain the same level of novelty across extended play sessions. Visually, Loot River adopts a moody pixel art style that emphasizes atmosphere over detail. Dark palettes, murky lighting, and subtle environmental effects contribute to a somber tone that reinforces the game’s sense of isolation and decay. The flooded ruins and fragmented architecture feel cohesive with the game’s mechanics, as if the world itself is unstable and constantly shifting beneath the player’s feet. Sound design complements this approach, using ambient audio and restrained music to enhance tension without overwhelming the experience. Narrative elements are sparse and deliberately understated. The world’s lore is hinted at through environmental cues, cryptic NPC dialogue, and item descriptions rather than direct storytelling. This minimalist approach suits the game’s tone, allowing players to project their own interpretations onto the setting, but it also means that the story rarely provides strong motivation beyond survival and curiosity. Players seeking a rich or emotionally driven narrative may find this aspect underwhelming, while others will appreciate the ambiguity and focus on gameplay. Ultimately, Loot River feels like a bold experiment that prioritizes originality over polish. Its core idea—turning dungeon floors into movable puzzle pieces—is genuinely inventive and gives the game a distinct identity within a crowded genre. At the same time, uneven combat feel, limited progression depth, and occasional repetition prevent it from fully realizing its potential. For players who enjoy experimental mechanics, spatial problem-solving, and challenging action roguelikes, Loot River offers moments of brilliance and a concept unlike almost anything else available. It may not be a flawless execution, but it stands as a memorable example of how taking creative risks can lead to something truly distinctive, even when the results are imperfect. Rating: 6/10
Цена. Минус этой игры цена. Слишком дорого. А так, классная графика, прикольный геймплей ( но это просто хадес и все, таких игр мильон ) Я вроде ее бесплатно получил, так побегать прикольно. Но за фул прайс, нет.
Eu particularmente não gosto de jogos rogue-like, mas esse em específico me ganhou com seu visual, ambientação sonora e o frenesi de sangue. mas acho o universo criado nesse jogo pouco explorado e com desafios pouco dinâmicos. você se acostuma rápido com a maioria dos inimigos e enfrenta-los fica desinteressante, você acaba mais interessado em subir de level e explorar armas do que preocupado com os monstros que está enfrentando. dito isso estou viciado e quero explorar configurações cada vez mais fortes pra explodir qualquer boss na pura habilidade e lapada seca.
pretty good so far, combat feels kinda pointless as the only good drops are in chests (and enemies dont drop items enough to even bother + shops give garbage) and you can kinda overpower the entire first few areas just with a decent weapon and somewhat clever dodging, but it isnt unfun to play. ill revise when i play more
Забайтился на видос в тиктоке
- 데드셀 + 테트리스 블록 퍼즐 조합으로 이루어진 장르. - 특히 지형 퍼즐이 랜덤으로 생성됨에도 불구하고 매우 치밀하고 완성도 높다. - 물 그래픽이 굉장히 아름다워서 플레이 초반에는 물 그래픽만 보아도 재밌었다. - 무기의 공격 판정 하나가 위의 모든 장점을 전부 무너뜨림. 아이디어 하나만큼은 진정 인디게임다운 인디게임입니다. 굉장히 참신한 구상이었지만, 이 게임은 퍼즐이 거들 뿐 궁극적으로 '액션'게임인데, 전투에 있어서 중요한 "무기"들 중 대부분이 공격 판정 범위에 심각한 하자가 있어서 ( 락온을 했음에도 판정이 빗나가는 경우가 많습니다 ) 불합리한 실수가 재미를 크게 반감시킵니다. 여러므로 너무나도 아쉬운 게임. 아이디어는 박수쳐줄 수 있지만, 다른 사람에게 추천하지는 않을겁니다.
很好玩,但游戏难度非常高,打怪能升级,点数尽量分配给体力,这样可以增加容错率,一开始玩先练习手法,熟悉游戏后就要把血瓶给商人获取双倍收益,前期比较简单,越到后面难度越高,前期积攒的血瓶会逐渐不够用
