i fricken love this game :steamhappy: i got all my fellas to play with me and its so fun <3

I saw my partner playing this and knew I needed to try it! Played both single player and with others, finding both ways just as good as each other! I keep coming back to play it and I am determined to finish it when I get good XD

one of my favorite games. TLDR: get it if you enjoy good games. it's a good game. the game is structured as a three-stage run, each stage with a boss, unique enemies, different setting, and a small variety of optional quests. there is slightly more after that on the highest difficulties. each run, you will level up by collecting XP (fighting and clearing objectives) and the level-ups give you ability upgrades (including an ultimate) that drastically affect your playstyle mid-run. you also collect items that amplify your abilities, often through raw numbers, but sometimes with actual mechanical changes. the first difficulty is not too hard, once you know what's going on. i would recommend perusing the in-game guide in the menu. not long, but very helpful for an overview. after you learn the enemies and their patterns, the real challenge is the highest difficulty. by then, your build choices matter very much and mistakes are punished harshly. there are tons of unique characters with unique skills and unique skill upgrades that change how you play the characters each run. i LOVE the variety. the combos are delightful to explore, and there are many viable builds even on the higher difficulties. the flavor and theme are also entertaining, but perhaps not the focal point for me. i get lost in the joy of the gameplay. i have mostly played solo, and still enjoy runs even after beating the highest difficulty on all but one hero. i played with a buddy of mine a handful of times, and it is delightful. they designed Romeo and Juliet heroes (as free DLC) meant to be played by two people, not just solo. so creative and fun.

Si te gustan los roguelike tipo Hades, pero con cuentos de hadas retorcidos y cooperativo hasta 4 panas, Ravenswatch es literalmente ese juego que no sabías que necesitabas. Desde la primera partida se siente intenso: entras, revientas pesadillas, subes poder y cuando te das cuenta ya estás diciendo “ok, una partida más y cierro”… y nunca cierras. Acá no eres “el héroe genérico”, sino versiones oscuras de personajes de cuentos y leyendas: Caperucita loba, Wukong, Aladino y varios más, cada uno con habilidades bien marcadas y builds que cambian un montón tu forma de jugar. Lo chévere es que cada partida se siente distinta: mapas que se regeneran, eventos, loot, talentos, y ese timer que te empuja a explorar rápido antes de que el boss te diga “ven para detonarte”. Jugando solo es adictivo, pero donde se pone realmente sabroso es en cooperativo: hasta 4 jugadores coordinando ultis, dashes y sinergias para limpiar el mapa y llegar al jefe cargados de poder. Es de esos juegos perfectos para armar calls en Discord, soltar risas cuando alguien la caga y terminar diciendo “mañana seguimos, pero la próxima sí ganamos”. Visualmente tiene ese estilo de fantasía oscura tipo cómic que entra por los ojos, con escenarios llenos de detalles y una atmósfera que te deja clarito que aquí los cuentos no son para niños. Entre la música, los efectos y el ritmo del combate, el juego se siente fluido y muy satisfactorio cada vez que limpias una zona o borras a un jefe del mapa. En resumen: si buscas un roguelike rápido, desafiante, con personajes icónicos versión dark, montones de builds y cooperativo para viciar con amigos, Ravenswatch es un must en tu lista. Dale una oportunidad, y si ya lo jugaste, cuéntame con qué personaje estás rotísimo y si también dijiste “solo una partida más” y terminaste 3 horas después.

DO NOT PURCHASE I URGE YOU. Bought this game, loved the art, it looked cool. I get into a match, press LShift, a CORE BIND for a core ability in the game, and it entirely bricks the game. It doesn't crash, it doesn't close, it just bricks all keyboard inputs post hitting Shift key.
