Songbringer

At first I played it a bit and just put it down for a while. I didn't get it, I didn't have a clue what was happening. Then I returned years later and my goodness this is pretty dang cool. I was playing just to play something I had in my library and now I'm playing to see whats next, what do I have to fight, where is the story going, what is the next block on the map going to be!? Give it a shot.

8/10 feels just like an old legend of zelda game + local co-op - 85% of this game is just wondering around being lost

玩起来还挺爽，但不知道在爽什么

Not my cup of tea, but I absolutely can't condone modern games that implement the most atrocious, dated, anti-qol ui and controls in pursuit of some misguided "retro feel".

Songbringer is a roguelike game made by one develover Wizard fu/Nathanael Weiss. You are playing as an explorer named Rog, found yourself in an unkown planet fter your spaceship crashed and you have to explore to get some answers, in this adventure you have your friend a robot named Jib and a sword. Throughout the exploration, you uncover what really happen to the planet and after facing some bosses and making new "friends" you learn about a war netween two races a lot of years before. Simple controls, you have as weapons a sword that you can upgrade as the game progress, your hat than can be used as boomerang and bombs. Nice pixel graphics with great music that suits the game. A nice thing is that the game/world you are playing everytime you start a new is random and it creates a new seed. Took me around 6-7 hours to beat. https://steamcommunity.com/id/yaya14/screenshots/?appid=367080&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall To Songbringer είναι ένα roguelike παιχνίδι φτιαγμένο από ένα άτομο(Wizard fu/Nathanael Weiss). Παίζεις ως ένας εξερευνητής ονόματι Rog, που μετά από τη συντριβή του σκάφους του βρίσκεται σε ένα άγνωστο πλανήτη όπου ξεκινάει την εξερεύνηση, με σύμμαχο ένα μικρό ρομποτάκι (Jib) κ ένα σπαθί. Κατά τη διάρκεια ανακαλύπτεις τι έχει συμβεί στο πλανήτη και αντιμετωπίζοντας αρκετά bosses καταλήγεις σε ένα πόλεμο που χε δημιουργηθεί αρκετά χρόνια πριν μεταξύ 2 φυλών. Απλός χειρισμός, έχεις σαν όπλο ένα σπαθί που μπορεί να αναβαθμιστεί όσο περνάει το παιχνίδι, ένα καπέλο που λειτουργεί ως μπούμερανγκ και βόμβες. Ωραία πιξελωτά γραφικά με καλή συνοδεία μουσικής. Επίσης, ο κόσμος είναι τυχαίος και κάθε φορά που ξεκινά κάποιος νέο παιχνίδι βγαίνει νέο seed και πήρε 6-7 ώρες για τερματισμό. Σε γενικές γραμμές μια ωραία επιλογή για να περάσεις χαλαρά την ώρα σου.

A lot of people complained bout the pixel arts, but for me they are nicely done. My problem is that we don't really know what to do. Like I got a cube of ice in a dungeon and apparently I have to combine it with something else, but how ? Nothing tells me what to do. Also the combat is pretty basic. I feel like this could have been a great game but it lacks some polish.

7/10 runs well on SteamDeck.
