Obsidian Prince

it's so buggy and feels soulless because they utilized procedural generation ai very poorly, it's random to be random. i wish so badly that this game was made better because the concept is so much fun:( but it's just so hard to play with all the bugs and incoherent story line.

i keep trying to like it and every time i open the game i remember why it's so....ew 1) why tf are the dungeons so long. you can't see the map properly as it is, i just wanna do the boss and move on not do 30 mystery rooms. 2) you have to have near-perfect game play to not take damage, and you basically can't take damage or you lose lol. like you make one wrong move your whole run goes to ♥♥♥♥. and that means having to do like 30 rooms to get to the same place you're at doing the same tedious things. doesn't feel like there is actual balanced progress here, difficulty goes from 1 to 100 wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too quickly. it doesn't scale well at all since you haven't had any time to upgrade anything significant. 3) the "healing" is laughable. healing potions heal basically nothing. you have a 0.000001% chance to find a healer, and you might even skip it since the map is useless, and the rest stops are useless unless you have items to use at the rest stop...and those items themselves are pretty poopy. i don't think there's any intention on the devs part of improving the game so don't buy it.

This is an indie game and the writing is really imaginative and funny. I like what the elements could be, but after a couple of hours playing it I just feel like the core gameplay loop is just not fun enough (for me). I like turn based strategy and was interested in checking out the roguelike version but was suggested by the game itself to do the campaign first. Maybe things would have been different if I had just gone ahead with the roguelike version, which has a harder difficulty. There are only two difficulties, Normal and Veteran, and I cannot speak to the difficulty of Veteran since the game warns you off of using it until you are used to the game a little more. I just could not continue playing until I had more experience. The classes seem fairly well thought out and I do like all of the different weapons and items you can purchase. A LOT of this game is very good, but the core loop of talking to someone on the overworld, then running a dungeon, rinse and repeat, did not really offer me much excitement. I would have liked to check out some of the other items but there is no real "save scum" feature to check stuff out and reload, and the early game is stingy with gold (which under normal circumstances I like) on top of which you cannot sell items in shops (that I saw), only keep them bloating your inventory or discard them. In the early game you can run a dungeon (fairly dry affair) and get no real reward, which makes a boring experience even less attractive. A ton of time and care has been put into this, all I can say is it's not for me. I wish the actual battles felt more exciting and engaging, since that is what you will be doing for the majority of your time with this game.

It's a different take on the turn based tactical. It seems like it might appeal to some people, but I just found myself thinking the whole time, "this just isn't fun." I kept wanting to give it a chance to develop, but that was an obligation because I spent money, not because I really wanted to. It's hard to explain it, but I'll put it this way...all the shortcomings I felt made me just want to go put another 100 hours into Battle Brothers.

I've been obsessively playing roguelites, particularly deckbuilders, and have burned through what feels like all of the halfway decent ones. I picked this game up after seeing a dev talking about it on reddit. I figured for $10 I could support an indie developer making strategy roguelites, and if the game sucked it would just go on the pile of other Steam games I don't play. I am pleasantly surprised with my purchase. I'm still in the beginning stages of the game, clearing a couple dungeons and killing one hero so far. It's reminiscent of a little demo I played a couple years ago, Dungeon Drafters, which I didn't realize had been turned into a full game. In both games you are on a small grid level with enemies who move and act when you do. Both games have decks full of ability cards, but here they modify your basic actions like jump, charge, and attack. Positioning determines whether enemies take hits on movement, and there's a rhythm to managing health, armor, and damage. The game is rough around the edges but the core gameplay loop is solid. You're spending a couple minutes in a battle, making choices, moving around the map - typical roguelite stuff. I haven't scratched the surface of the hero/card/artifact/item synergies. The best combo I've had so far was a couple of cards that turn your boomerang into a 3x3 explosion and make you jump backwards from the hit, keeping distance. Neat stuff. If you like Alina of the Arena or Hoplite, it's a slightly roomier version of that, or a less brain-wracking Into the Breach. Fights in Tight Spaces is another game in a similar vein, more oriented around hand-to-hand combat. All fun games, all worth of the small amount of money it costs to buy them. Hoping this dev makes more games. EDIT: The weak point of this game are the graphics and visual design. The sense of style is on point, but the game is way too zoomed out to see the battlefield in detail. It's hard to make out players and monsters. You either have to keep the enemy attack indicators on, covering everything in red squares, or you don't and it's hard to keep track of who is doing what. Did I mention that a frequent texture tile used on the ground is a similar color and shape to the attack indicator? Frustrating

O yastıktan kafamı kaldırıyorum efendim. Hani bakıyorum güneşe evet diyorum doğdu güneşim, tık elimi yüzümü yıkıyorum. Güzel bir şarkı, güzel bir banyo üstümü başımı giyiniyorum sağlam bir kahvaltı , açıyorum Obsidian Prince i modumu yakalıyorum

1,471 games in my Steam library and this is unquestionably the worst of all of them, and that includes whack trash visual novels and other garbage I've received in bundles. You'll be greeted with the worst UI you can imagine and terrible clunky combat that is genuinely, laughably, godawful. I am actually going to quit my job tomorrow and tell my boss that my true calling in life is to spend the rest of my days trying to adequately describe how atrocious this game is. My wife will probably try to talk me out of it, at which point I'll just get a lobotomy so at least I'll never remember playing this.

Not every game has to be "rock 'em, sock 'em, dead-serious-zombies-attacking-your-little-sister-to-eat-her-brain-oh-the-horror" intense. Obsidian Prince isn't that and what's more it doesn't try to be, which is a considerable part of its charm. Players build their training facilities and then go off into the unknown to battle oddly-named people with a variety of strategies that change as you change out your kit. That said, it's graphically wonderful, highly playable and above all, it's just plain fun. I waited to play this game for about two weeks after I bought it and I feel badly about that because that's time I wasted. Is it grindy? Sure. But is it an enjoyable grind? You bet. I'm happy with my purchase and as the devs erase any remaining bugs, I expect I'll be happier still.

This game is super charming and offers a lot of depth! You'll need to make use of as much strategy as you can to pull out wins but it never feels super punishing.

The roguelike to beat all roguelikes. If you like card-based roguelikes like Slay the Spire and Tainted Grail but feel sad every time you need to start a new character, play this. There's the option to create hundreds of adventurers, all different, using different classes, focusing different skills. My first character was a bulky tank that jumped around while getting shields from everyone he hits, my second character makes entire levels full of water and uses electricity to nuke enemies from afar while constantly having full energy. And while most of the time they came in like a wrecking ball, I never stopped having to consciously make my moves. And the humor is horribly, absolutely horribly fun. It doesn't hold back on the puns at all, and the randomly generated text gets me every time. Having adventurers be allergic to lamps and a blood type: stinky. Fighting enemies like Cake Boss Ellie and their army of penguins, or Oracle Maryam the Weight Lifter. The only problem I've had is that I've been softlocked by bugs a few times, things happening too fast and the game perceiving enemies that aren't there, thus not ending the battle ever. Or being stuck on a turn where I could do nothing. Luckily you can go back to main menu and immediately continue the dungeon from before you entered the room.
