Trials of Valor

Just purchase it. So fun and deserves so much more traction.

Steam deck: plays very well. Constant 60fps and does not eat up battery life. There is a dedicated steam deck graphics option. The game is surprisingly good and fun. I wish I would have discovered this game much sooner. The combat is very satisfying and fluid. There are a decent variety of skills and equipment that you can use and customize your character. Some critiques I have is I would like to see a more enemy types. The enemy spawn feel a little bit static between all the zones. Other than this I would love to have more of everything else, like weapons, skills, zones because the game is that great. Overall, I feel this game should be the gold standard moving forward for all 2D fighter roguelikes in the future.

My partner came across this game while he was scrolling through the steam store and thought I might be interested in it, so he bought it for us...and I'm SO glad they did. I love everything about this game! The visuals are fun and well made, it has the fun feeling of gatcha mixed with some decision making, the combat is seamless, and so many more things! The devs of ToV stumbled across my Twitch live stream when I was playing their game, and they are the kindest, most thoughtful people I have EVER met. They listen to my concerns, interact with not just myself but my entire stream community, and you can tell their hearts are 2000% invested in this project they made together. I highly recommend ToV, and I have plans to keep playing it for a very, very long time. Thank you to the pair of developers that brought their vision to life in this game, You both are incredibly talented, and I wish you both the best!

Actually a really neat game with an interesting gameplay loop. feels good to play and decent build variety. Would like to see what this team could do with more people and more of a budget.

This game is so much fun! At first it seemed to be way to easy until I got to the 6th or 7th ascencion. Its easy enough for my kids to play at the lower tiers and hard enough to make a serious challenge to beat the 10th Ascension. Unlocked everything and now going for achievements. I cant wait until the new characters come out! Hopefully there's lots of DLCs to come!

i brought this game thinking i wasnt going too enjoy it long term,... man was i wrong, its fun!

Highly unique game concept, well executed. Might or might not get addictive to unlock all the classes. Obviously done with budget limitations and using asset sets, but within that the developers did extremely well IMO.

Now this is a rogue like/souls like with motion, where the fun starts from the begginning where you can actually feel your character get stronger against enemies that feel like they have a brain instead of just watching numbers on the screen and taking unavoidable damage against enemies that are all the same under the hood. Countering and dodging feels fluid like your doin the worm all over your opponent. Collecting items feels valuable because of extra set bonuses so even gear that isnt perfect still works and each piece gives a unique stylistic look to your character as you progress. Its locations and lighting are well done, enough to immerse yourself into each battle, i dont usually care that much about graphic fidelity as long as everything looks consistant, and here nothing looks out of place and leans into the quirky fantasy aspect the game is at its core. I dont usually like rogue lites, but this one, hits the spot.
