One Step From Eden

An INCREDIBLY good roguelike and deck builder mixed with the combat of Mega Man Battle Network, however done in a much faster way: + You have several schools of magic with dozens of spells each. I'm putting this above characters cause this is a bit easier to understand. Set schools of magic do set things, like give you more spells for fires or freezing things, gives you spells to create shields for yourself, spells that allow you to make things, etc. Some of these you'll know and love from the only other game in the grid based real time strategy battle genre, but others are entirely new and make it extremely complicated to pick and choose what a "Good" spell is. + Each playable character has a couple different things: 1) They have a set of spells centered around their weapon and passive. Saffron, our starter gal has an allround build to combo with her really basic passive and basic megabuster styled gun. 2) Your passive helps define the general vibe of the character, for Saffron that's Second Soul which lets you revive for 600 HP after you die, where as Reva gains 1 shield per time she moves. 3) The weapon varies, with Saffron's 1st and 2nd build offering two different weapons, the first covered being a megabuster, the second being the ability to temporarily slow time, and they play VERY differently as you'll spend a lot more time focusing on combos that only really become possible on time slow vs focusing on things that are guaranteed to hit. There's 8 characters, Saffron has 3 classes, 6 with 2 and then a bonus almost gag character, so you can kinda see how you can very quickly get insane build potential. + EVERY school of magic, for the most part, somewhat intercepts to make them more useful or allowing you to naturally go from one school to the other. Things like this are VERY appreciated given that other roguelikes fail at this ala Binding of Isaac where certain "Upgrades" are straight downgrades, where as in other games there is no real crossing potential: It's either you build 100% into something or you will be dead at the final boss. + Very pretty visuals, music. I will also note that I have mad respect for the character designs in this game given that it's not often you get such cool designs all in one spot. - Some spells could honestly be buffed ~ There is workshop support so even more gameplay for the price tage! Really good game, recommend it heartily.
