Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos

This game is a big 6 out of 10. It somewhat captures the zelda gameplay but not its aesthetics, but that's fine. The game is buggy online, with some desyncs leading to having rooms not playing out like other players, leading to odd results and softlocks, forcing you to quit your run. There are also many design decisions that could easily be ironed out but are left there to make the game more obnoxious than it needs to be. For example, if you play melee, you will likely get hit if you approach an enemy and it moves towards you, you will likely get hurt if you don't stop and wait for it to approach. The game offers upgrades to sword reach but I didn't notice any difference after purchasing them all. Some dungeon rooms are designed obnoxiously, with alot of backtracking. The UI is bad. The game is sometimes purposefully obtuse. Like when you unlock the field, the NPC tells you where to get the tools, but if you missed that, you basically have to google it as its dialogue telling you where the tools are don't show up again. If you play naturally, sometimes some enemies, or even weeds, can 2-shot you while you can tank 20+ hits of that dungeon's boss projectiles. There is a room where you have to use your shield to block an arrow or take a high damage hit, but if you are carrying your friend's skull to go and revive him, you can't block the shot, forcing you to leave your friend behind for the rest of the run. A lot of small design choices and bugs that compound to it being on the line of recommended or not. There are a lot of games out there, if you are out of coop games to play, yeah sure, give it a try but if you haven't already, I would recommend Heroes of Hammerwatch 1 and 2. Basically the same, but better, and minus the Zelda staples.
