红石遗迹 - Red Obsidian Remnant

UPDATE - This game is in a vastly improved state now. Less grinding, more items, more run persistence through an NPC that sells starter items/weapons, a faster pace, refined skill tree, and special moves to add variety to the combat. Even if the art style and animation are keeping you away, definitely give this game a chance, as it will only get better from here. The developers are taking the game seriously, and it's updated several times a week. Any major issue is patched out quickly. The one downside is that there's almost no English community for the game, and the English feedback thread has been dormant for a few weeks now. Don't let that stop you from trying a good game out, though. A well-polished game, especially for one that's only been in early access for a day. The art style and motion tween animation leaves a lot to be desired, but the game has heart in the right places. The combat takes the roguelike/lite genre in new places with fights that feel like the player has control over their success even without grinding. Still, the game is a bit grindy in its current state; many of the time attack challenges are borderline impossible to clear on a fresh character, some bosses have way too much health for how often they break out of combos, and if you're only making it to the second boss consistently, it can take upwards of an hour to earn a single skill point. The progression system is deep even in this early state, but the grind to get anything worthwhile may be a bit too much for most players. Buy now if you want to support a roguelike doing something new (fast, responsive and stylish melee combat), or wait if you're looking for things like less grinding or co-op. Pros - The best melee combat in the genre, at least for now. - A progression system that adds depth through grinding like double jumps that extend combos, and more time to land just counters and dodges. - A combo system that easy to learn and mildly difficult to master. - A solid foundation that will only show improvement as development continues. Cons - The art style and motion tween animation look and feel a bit amateurish, but this doesn't prevent the game from feeling polished otherwise. At first glance it may not even look like a retail game. Perhaps this will be improved later on, but don't let it prevent you from trying the game out. - Some enemies and bosses have far too much health for a fresh run, slowing the pace down and making the progression system feel grindy when it takes so long to earn even a single skill point. - Even if the player goes for the meaty stuff (more health, double jumps, more counter time, etc.), it's a significant grind to get anything worthwhile. Combine that with the high enemy/boss HP and the beginning phase of the progression can start to drag on. For $9 you're still buying into an idea, but what they have so far shows a ton of promise. Hopefully articulate feedback is given and taken seriously by the developers. There are many roguelikes on Steam, but none like this one.

十分令人惋惜的一部雏形

三个小时打了四个周目，两个问题尤为突出。 第一，打击判定很奇怪，对地面敌人有一点点的辅助判定这很好，但是在打空中敌人的时候简直是饱受折磨；第二，重复度太高，玩了圣盾流、异常流、暴击、鸟双刀，战斗机制做的不少，但是战斗的本质过于相似，高难度怪物仅仅是改数值，没有新的机制，BOSS也挺少，导致没有一口气玩下去的动力了。 虽然游戏是两个人做的很强，但是在2022年，还是没必要花钱去体验一款已经跟不上时代了的五年前的游戏了。

My Quicktake on it (Parody): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JYrC4IfxGM I have since finished multiple runs on all difficulties TL;DR: [h1]Pros:[/h1] [list] [*] [b]+[/b] Intriguing Talent/Misfortune System [*] [b]+[/b] Fluid transition from one weapon combo to the next [*] [b]+[/b] Equipment stacking [*] [b]+[/b] Endless mode with Leaderboard [/list] [h1]Cons:[/h1] [list] [*] [b]-[/b] Bosses are always the same [*] [b]-[/b] Somewhat small selection of equipment and artifacts [/list] Red Obsidian Remnant can't quite keep up with the genre giants, but has a few unique ideas going for it. Generally the combat is pretty decent, it's not amazing by any means and especially against flying units, it can feel a little frustrating at times, but the 5 different weapontypes can be strung together quite effective mid-combo which feels great. While there is a somewhat small selection of artifacts and equipment compared to f.e. binding of Isaac, if you happen to find the same piece multiple times, it's lets you stack them, increasing it's level und effects over and over. Additionally you can encounter NPC's that give you little sidequests or can be hired as mercenaries, and plowing through the dungeon with your own little hero group is oddly satisfying (or scarring whenver they get torn to pieces). After every run, you gain exp. increasing your overall level and gold that let's you buy new characters, and titles that will effect your future runs. Levelling up gives you talent points, that can be spent to improve your character permanently, but will also unlock random misfortunes, that effect the behaviour and strength of enemies. So that's how the metaprogression works and also increases replayablilty. (Re-skilling will also reset misfortunes, so they can be randomized all the time if you want that). One last thing to note is, that besides a lot of different difficulties, there is also an endless mode, where you can compete with others via a Leaderboard. A feature that I'd love to see in more roguelites. Overall it's not a masterpiece, but it's pretty good and for the cheap price, definitely worth getting in my opinion. Recommended!

还是别浪费时间了，看看别的游戏吧

You spawn in a room, kill stuff, pick a new room, kill stuff. Get gear. Gear has next to no variety. Enemies have next to no variety. The rooms have next to no variety. So what we have here is another game that's hedged all its bets on combat. And the question is: Is the combat good? Well inherently its going to be kind of lacking because of the enemy variety. But even beyond that? No. You get to take two weps with... okay movesets. And juggle enemies. Do it enough you get a super move to spend meter on. Its basic, functional, fine. But not satisfying. Its just so easy. The enemies barely fight back. The moves are too strong. One move in particular: There's a weapon in this where the super move is to throw it at enemies. It tracks them. It nearly instantly kills everything. ANd its basically free.

The translation is lacking, sometimes leading to confusion. English language support staff may have left. But still the game is fun. It is a Roguelite-inspired action game, with permadeath. You can get some persistent buffs, but you aren't going to cruise through higher difficulties just from grinding. Many of the persistent buffs are relatively weak, and assigning points to the skill tree will also apply buffs to enemies. Mostly, to progress you will simply have to get better at the game itself, both in learning how to better exploit what you are given as well as just getting better at the combat. The combat system is a bit more involved than it may originally seem. You can freely switch between three equipped weapons, with each weapon assigned to its own button. Switching mid-combo will simply continue with the next attack of the next weapon's string. Different types of weapons of course have different attack speeds and deal different amounts of damage, but the natures of the attacks also vary. Some attacks will juggle, some will stun, and some have movement built into them, giving you more reason to intelligently switch between different weapons mid-combo. Beyond this, higher rank weapons will carry not only extra elemental damage effects, they can carry other effects that activate upon killing an enemy (such as bestowing a protective shield or causing an explosion.) You also have jumping attacks, counters (performed after blocking, and some shields also apply special effects on block), specials that consume part of an "Anger" gauge, and supers that consume the entire anger gauge. Mind, you might not notice those details about the combo system at first. The game requires you complete the game on Easy before you can play on Normal, and Easy can be beaten by randomly mashing attacks. There isn't a point to blocking until you reach Normal, and it doesn't become a critical skill until Hard. (Enemy attack rates are tied to difficulty. On Easy, you'll kill most non-boss enemies before they ever bother to attack.)
