The 7th Circle - Endless Nightmare

Pretty standard dungeon crawler. Runs smooth, graphics are nice, but combat is a bit too simplistic. I'm not a big fan of the monster design, but that's just due to my own preferences for aesthetics in these kind of games.

Bought it at a discount, but the game is fun enough to be worth the full price.

Excelente. La música, el ambiente, los enemigos, la historia, todo muy bien. Ahora, a comenzar Inferno - Beyond the 7th Circle.

Je valide, un bon Dungeon Crawler :-)

very nice game well thought and designed !!! im having fun replaying after i die because you can influence the next outcome via giving a different boost to the next character!! really nice concept

I *want* to recommend this, but doing so is hard. The combat is very shallow. (Walk up. Click attack. Defend on last turn. Repeat.) And the exploration wears out quickly as well. The only "puzzle" this game has to offer is "Find the switch to open the door.". There is a "minigame" of sorts, but it's a Mario Party style thing where moving across the board *is* the minigame. Which just opens another door once you finish it. Skill aquisition is also very grindy. Whatever weapon you pick at the start will be the one you always use. Some skills level on their own (Survivalism), but others need to be actively used. The latter of which means that if you don't regularly use them from the start, they end up being so useless as to have no point. (Blacksmithing.)

Jogo de turno muito bom, mas é complicado de entender no inicio.

was a good play through that I got really tired of the repetitive fight patterns, items didn't feel significantly different in the influence of combats. It was immersive and fun for the first 10 hours. I didn't like how chopped the gameplay is in exploration and the five second loading time for pulling up stats and other tabs...monster design and art is cool though. I recommend this on sale.

There's a good game in here, but it's hidden under a layer of clunky UI plaster. 7th Circle is a dungeon crawler with a lush/grisly aesthetic. All of its custom art is gorgeous and horrific, and it has cool understated atmospheric soundtrack, good audio design, and solid gameplay to back that up. It's writing is perfectly passable for what it needs to do, and while it feels translated, it isn't hard at all to understand. The big problem with 7th Circle is that it runs slow and it hides everything behind loading screens. This isn't a game that's Grimrock smooth. Going into your stat window requires a 12 second loading screen. So does starting or ending combat. Accessing any other windowis cumbersome and slow. Moving from tile to tile requires a small but perceptible wait as the game struggles to catch up. I'm on a potato computer, but it runs other dungeon crawlers fine, and I think the culprit here is that 7th Circle is constantly checking and saving. Underneath this jank, though, the core game is good. Character design feels engaging. Combat is about spacing and planning and using every tool in your arsenal. Traps are minimal, and hidden walls aren't essential to progress. Furthermore, there's a lot of roguelite features at play. You carry over part of every dead character into your next character, and you do so in like seven distinctly different ways. The feeling of customization makes death feel like a checkpoint rather than a setback, and unlocking new upgrades or stockpiling resources feels satisfying. Unfortunately, past a certain point gameplay starts to feel a little samey. And there's a few other weird UI decisions, such as your full map being tied to casting a spell, that add a bit more blemish to the experience. If you relish the grind, and if you can get your game to run smoothly, and if you don't mind a bit of UI jank, this is a good title. If not, this is still kind of a masterful art showcase, and it may be worth it entirely in that regard.
