I really like this game, I think it stands among the betters of the genre. Still fresh so it has a lot of room to grow and I think as long as the Dev(s) keep up with it, it will grow into an absolute beast. Hopefully more characters and/or more items are on the way to increase the ways to play each run
A thrilling and addictive game, with an interesting take on meta-progression by unlocking new items each run to push further and further. Had a great time playing the first couple of hours and will definitely try to unlock everything that the game has to offer!
"The Nightwatch" is a gem of a 2D roguelite that brilliantly combines simplicity with intense addictiveness. From the moment you step in, you're pulled into a relentless battle against monstrous hordes, each attempt more exhilarating than the last. The gameplay strikes a satisfying balance between straightforward mechanics and skill-based challenge, making it easy to jump into while keeping you constantly on your toes. One of the game's standout elements is its soundtrack, which isn’t just a background feature—it dynamically shifts with the pace and tone of each encounter, amplifying the immersive experience. The challenge is as tough as it is rewarding. "The Nightwatch" is not a game you'll complete in one sitting, and each run feels like an invitation to improve, discover new upgrades, and unlock talents that push you further. The vintage atmosphere, combined with its pixel art style, taps into a nostalgic vein, reminiscent of classic games from the ‘90s. It’s a refreshing return to form that gives just enough retro flair without losing its edge as a modern roguelite. All in all, "The Nightwatch" is a fantastic blend of addictive gameplay, superb music, and a classic atmosphere that makes each session feel like a trip down memory lane—one that you'll want to revisit time and again. A must-play for fans of roguelites and retro gaming alike!
It's a fun game ! Interesting scrolls system, multiple builds available, cool bosses and the structures around the map make it so you don't just farm XP in one spot. In term of difficulty, I'd recommend to give the Hard mode a try. I find it more satisfying because it opens the gate for more upgrades during a run. The music is good and I specially enjoyed the first boss's theme (which lives rent free in my head !). I didn't expect to spend much time on it and I am pleasantly surprised !
Bon jeu très sympa qui se joue bien
meh
Dont be misleaded by graphics. This is a decent survivor bullet heaven with good challenge. The gameplay is fluid with good feedback on hits, enemies also use different attack patterns. While it dont have traditional Meta progress, but you unlocking new items what can be looted for actual run. Enhancements, effects for your arsenal. Also interrestingly you build up a temporal skill tree on every run, alongside of levelup cards. While you collect currency and can buy stuffs from Merchants on battlefield. Recommended game in the genre.
Puedes ver el juego aquí: https://youtu.be/qzqbay4D5IM Me gustan mucho este tipo de juegos, y este no ha sido diferente. Si te gusta Vampire Survivors y buscas una buena "copia", este es uno, y está bastante barato. Por decir algo "malo" o por aportar algo, falta un poco de explicación en las habilidades. Espero que en el futuro añadan más personajes. Lo recomiendo.
Das Spiel wirkt auf mich wie eine frühe Beta. Es funktioniert alles wie es soll und stürzt nicht ab. Jetzt kommt das große aber. - Die Gegner werden nach etwa 10 Minuten überproportional stark. Mit einem Krit ziehst du ihnen max noch die Hälfte ihres Lebens ab. Es kommen irgendwann so dermaßen viele Gegner gleichzeitig, dass du ihnen irgendwann nicht mehr ausweichen kannst. - Die Erfahrung zum Levelaufstieg wird viel zu schnell zu hoch. Es dauert nachdem man Level 15 erreicht hat ewig, bis man das nächste Level erreicht. - Wenig Gengerauswahl und immer das selbe Angriffsmuster. Der letzte Bosskampf allein schon ist ein einziger Witz. Etwa 10 Minuten im Kreis laufen, weil der Boss so viel Leben hat, aber ein absolut monotones Angriffsmuster hat. - Dann gibts noch die Shops. 3 an der Zahl. 2 davon kann man leer kaufen. Man bekommt aber ohne ende Gold. Wofür? Hier hätte man eine super Möglichkeit gehabt die Gegnerstärke zu reduzieren, indem man den Charakter durchs kaufen unendlich zu verbessern. - Man findet Kisten, Heilung, Händler und Giftpilze auf der Map. ABER die sind in einem Raster angeordnet. Du läufst einfach in einer Linie entlang und wirst regelmäßig auf eine der Sachen stoßen. Alles in allem rate ich euch vom Kauf ab. Wenn ihr euch zum Beispiel Vampire Survivors holt, werdet ihr deutlich mehr Spaß daran haben, als an diesem Spiel. Spiel einfach die Demo und ich verspreche euch, dass ihr nichts verpassen werdet.
Un peu oubliable, trop d'assets partout.... gameplay lent et sans saveur Le but est juste de se faire un build qui permet de tanker en traversant les vagues de monstres... dommage
