Rampage Knights

I've double-dipped on this game. Previously had it on Switch and I enjoyed the heck out of it. And when I recently saw a bunch of similar games on sale, I desperately tried to remember the title. It took me all afternoon. Every search engine and A.I. assistant kept trying to tell me it was Skul: the Hero Slayer, or Wulverblade, until I searched for the Developer/Publisher logo (which I could still remember). And now I have it again! Pros: -The mechanics are easy to grasp. It's slightly more nuanced than mashing "attack". If you've played something like Golden Axe, or Final Fight, it's quite similar. -There's randomized dungeon rooms, which go a long way to keeping the game interesting every playthrough. -Assets all look to be drawn, layered in various parts to perform the animations. Your mileage may vary, but I personally like the look. Cons: -The rooms/environments change, but in a lot of cases the theme of the assets don't. There's a sameness to the dungeons. If there's ever a sequel, I'd love some form of having more assets added to the room generation. Like having more asset textures put into the rotation of room generation. There's really only dungeon and forest. There could be so much more! Caves! Lava! Stuff like that. -The controls are just a little bit janky in their responsiveness. If I were to rate it numerically, I'd give it a 6.5-7/10. The game is just so silly and fun, but I wanted just a little bit more from it. Still do. Rampage Knights is LOOOoOOOoOOOooOOOOOOOoooOOOOOooooOOong overdue for a sequel. Make it happen, Rake in Grass!

un rogue like/beat them up et marrant où vous devez péter la ghoule du méchant boss final tout en haut de son donjon Pour ce faire vous aurez un florilège d'objets et de bénédictions/malédictions parmi lesquels la potion de cul Il y a pas mal d'archétypes de personnages, si les commandes de base sont sauter, rouler, taper et utiliser les objets, d'autres personnages pourront se téléporter ou lancer des boules de feu - la DA fait très BD - Le gameplay fait très arcade et le scrolling horizontal fait penser à un street of rage La rejouabilité est garantie par son côté aléatoire, mais si je devais émettre une critique je dirais que les environnements ne sont pas assez variés Je trouve aussi dommage que ce jeu n'ait pas de mod car la communauté des moddeurs fait toujours des merveilles et aurait pu créer de nouveaux objets et environnements à l'instar de Binding of Isaac

Brilliant game, very good fun as a duo. Falls abit short on the meta upgrades/unlocks but still really enjoyed the game.

I didn’t have any expectations going into Rampage Knights. Sure you can tell it’s a final fight kind of roguelike that supports co-op, but you can’t tell a game’s balance, breath of options and mechanics based on footage. This game excels heavily at bringing fun gameplay through varied tools (magic, equipment, items and scrolls) that change runs, tons of enemies that behave differently, controls that are snappy, lots of modes, achievements that reward the player with stat increases or cosmetics and so much more. You would think the game is mindless but there is lots of strategy and thinking involved too, especially in co-op. You have limited space to take items with you and you can only equip one armor type at a time. Only one player can pick up stuff, so you have to share and coordinate who gets what. You also have to be mindful of not negatively affecting your co-op partner based on the magic you use etc. The game starts a bit challenging but you get rewarded for improving and learning how things work. The game is quite fair for a roguelike from 2015, the bullsh*t is spared for the most part. However, it’s still a roguelike. There will still be rooms with very bad conditions, this is severe in endless mode where you have to reach level 25 and defeat a boss to get an achievement. It hurts when you lose progress so easily and you have to start from the beginning because of RNG. Regardless of that one flaw, the game is fantastic and ought to be played by anyone interested in that type of game. It’s fun alone but it’s better in co-op. I’ve put 69 hours in the game and got all the achievements except for the endless mode one. The normal price of €12,79 is super worth it, no questions asked. There are too many different achievements, some involve doing specific things, completing the different modes/difficulties and there are RNG achievements too. For the most part they are doable but you’re going to be investing some time.

Fun gameplay when you play with your friends.
