Rift Wizard 3

Игра-то вроде прикольная, очень понравился визуальный стиль, фантазия на спеллы классная, автор умеет в чёткие механики. Мне тот же крафт понравился. Но вот общий вектор игры странный. Вот она вообще как будто не создана для получения удовольствия. Очень сложная, и честно больше как головоломка, чем как рогалик. Куча текста, огромнейший decision fatigue, очень тяжело понять, какие твои действия привели к поражению, нет никакой плавности забега, где бы ты осознал свои ошибки. Почти каждая ошибка это мгновенное поражения (по крайней мере для новичка). Поэтому осторожно покупайте, лучше в демку сначала сыграйте. Я поиграл 3 часа, и как будто мотивация играть дальше только пунктик для себя что ли, мол, дошёл до концовки (если она тут есть). Для меня бы идеальная игра, будь она реально Roguelike, если бы способности игра тебе давала постепенно сама, усложняя вместе с этим врагов. А в том виде что сейчас игра вываливает на тебя все свои спеллы, даёт нереально сложные испытания, и по сути наказывает тебя за то, что ты не смог найти ту самую мету, которую автор заложил чтобы эти уровни пройти. Странно это, мб просто не моё

pros of RW3 versus RW2, Better Art, New spells, an Equipment focused build design, equipment overhaul, enemy monsters and bosses actually matter. cons for RW3? Its so much harder, skills no longer exist, pet boxes dont truly exist anymore. if you have the money buy RW or RW2 first cos those are just as great games and you'll get more victorys in those, but if you must buy one RW? yeah 3 is absolutely amazing.

I never review games. This is my favorite game I have ever played. The builds are so fun and creative, the systems are fascinating in how they work together, and the complexity makes me constantly thinking about how to play next time. I also enjoy the crunchiness of the math and system interactions, I have never beaten it - but I try every day and will keep going. Please try it - if you like crunchy games, with math and tactics, this will delight you.

**TLDR: Good game, significantly different and improved from the previous. This is probably my favorite, but would recommend RW1 to a new player.** **On Release Schedule Criticism** Every RW game is a major rework and content addition directly on top of the previous game, reusing many assets (although this game has a full art redo). Each is great, while being similar enough that they could almost be huge mods. Given that and the fast release schedule (~2-3 years?) it's unsurprising that some have been critical or called this a "cash grab", though I personally disagree (or see it as no worse than/preferable to indie DLC) The dev's actions are also understandable. They not only put in a lot of work to each sequel, they clearly obsessed over the small flaws and clunky details of each game. After several years of internally making new content and fully reworking core systems, they chose to release a sequel at $10-15 (twice now). RW2 was a "sidegrade" from the previous game, moving focus from efficient tactics/resource management to power scaling builds. RW3 is more of a direct upgrade and rework, giving a better system of choices (admittedly sacrificing readability/beginner friendliness). I have had enough fun and hours on each game that they were better value than triple A, than many other games, and arguably than many other luxuries or forms of entertainment. If you disagree with that perspective, or believe indie devs owe their players a decade of free updates, RW may not be for you. **The Actual Game** Turn based tactical roguelite with no permanent progression. You get a huge list of spells and upgrades to pick from, with pressure to figure out a coherent build because the floors scale quickly. After each floor you choose the next from several options, with full vision of enemies and rewards. Beyond build synergies and watching hundreds of fun pixel monsters explode (or freeze, or turn to slime, or get mauled by bears), the game is good because you are constantly making deep choices around how to build and spend resources, how to fight a given enemy or level, and which level to enter. Beginner experience is strange in all of these games, because the key is gaining knowledge through trial and error and by slowly absorbing the huge list of spells and upgrades. RW3, for all its improvements, is admittedly the worst for beginners. Even with filters on the crafting list, new players will find themselves reading countless equipment descriptions and struggling to retain everything in hopes of determining effective synergies. Knowing many of these abilities from the previous games helps tremendously with readability.

Game cheats. Unbalanced dog.

Deep gameplay that's fun to break. Cool crunchy graphics.

out of all three of the games I say this is by far the most robust of them all. I really do hope this one gets the love it's currently receiving, or more so just wish this is THE rift wizard and we don't end up with another sequel after all is said and done!
