Riptale

Entertaining Casual Rogue Lite Feeling Game. Go into dungeons one shoting enemies. Save up and buy new attacks to change your go too combo. Gets more difficult the deeper you go. Possibly best played on mobile to kill time despite how difficult 'aiming' may be. No updates since 2017 but I hope to see more like it in future.

It's not so well balanced, you may need to retry multiple bosses for multiple runs to be able to get their patterns, and sometimes the mechanic of attacking is just wonky and doesn't work as you would like to. But that doesn't change the fact the game is so astonishingly fun, with every slash, everyblood splatter and every combo you make you start to get the mechanics down and it is extremely satisfacing when it pays off, the weight of your character constrasting the swiftness and power of your attack, the learning curve of the different enemies and the almost surreal text you find around. it is all truly a thing of beauty you don't get that on too many games.

Haven't finished the campaign (if there is one) but I really like it. Make sure to leave large gaps in your attacks so you can replenish crystals, but you also want to slash. And hoo boooy, slashing feels SATISFYING. Heck, a whole lot of stuff feels satisfying.

Unfortunately did not enjoy this game. Cool on paper in reality you are bored within 30 minutes and running past everything to get to a boss. Nothing is really explained, a big meh.

Unique combat system that unfortunately is not very fun or memorable. === Tried again in 2025 === Yeah this combat style is really unfun, I can't recommend.
