ZOR: Pilgrimage of the Slorfs

Что будет, если смешать пошаговую тактику, выживач и рогалик? Вот эта вот игра, проходим карты, собираем карточки, планируем ресурсы и убиваем врагов, а потом беседуем у костра. https://youtu.be/3AMj286oH7s

This is a quality early access with polished mechanics and presentation. Will update review later once it leaves early access. For now, know that it is a very fun roguelike that combines deck building and survival elements with cute characters and interesting arenas. The updates are always exciting, bringing new content and balances. I've had this game installed since a couple summers ago, and each update has me coming back to the world of the slorfs. It's just so darn adorable, even after 120 hours clocked. A total hidden gem. Highly recommend this game! P.S. That's 120 hours of coming back to replay what exists. I am not saying there is 120 hours of content.

Fantasic game.

Very cute, very clever, just the right amount of depth. The polish and gameplay ideas are there, so the question from here is just the amount of content it ends up with, which is the best kind of place for an EA game to be, I think.

[h2]Hello there! Hiii![/h2] Have you, by any chance, played (and maybe even loved your time with) "[b]Into The Breach[/b]"? I'd just like to know if the Steam Recommendation Algorithm is working properly, you see.

Shiny gem, looking forward for the release

Fun, relaxing, mentally stimulating, cute game.

I got two problems with the game: 1) the game is simply not interesting for the first "level" (about 5-6 encounters). Your cards are very basic, there is 0 variability, you can only move or attack. It is just not interesting. And it takes more than a full hour to reach the second "level" where your cards have some small variability so that even though you can still only move or attack, there is a bit more decision making to be had. 2) the pacing of the game is overwhelmingly slow. I've quit the final battle twice already because it was going so slow that I got bored. Game needs serious work in pacing. I just don't have 4 hours to spare on an indie roguelike for a **single progression from level 0 to final level**. What the hell, it's supposed to be a roguelike. The value of the game comes from being able to iterate quickly.

My early access experience tells me they have a good 60-70% of a launch title here and thats really nicely promising. It may look basic to roguelite deckbuilder vets at first glance, and the name is a lil bit offputting, but the terrain layouts and card upgrade trees and the way crafting materials progress your deck is really quite nice and really does make you feel like there's a good system here. The enemies have a good variety so far, and I enjoyed myself in just 4 hours way more than I have for demos of some deckbuilders I've tried such as Wildfrost. The remaining 40-30% that they need to do? Making the framework more robust and fleshed out by getting the balance in place. There's currently too few ways to manage a few specific things such as RNG on upgrades, deckslots, and healing. You can guide your upgrade path to soften one of these but based on my four hours you cant reasonably do ALL of them. If you dont get good RNG on upgrades you may autolose to a boss or take a massive health hit. If you get bad RNG on upgrades for attack cards you may not be able to handle some enemies. Healing has only minor mitigation factors without some good RNG on upgrades, and focuses more on alpha striking enemies before they can hurt you. All this is smoothed out in balance after you have the framework set up. Again though, only four hours playtime! But I'm really liking what I see. And a side suggestion if the devs read, dont be afraid to really make the Slorfs have some monstrous-animal style dialogue in their text bubbles! Growl, mya, mewls, etc. They look like lil beasts and making them endearing little things with their behavior could be worth writing! Go take a peek at Ring of Pain for example, for a roguelite with a good theme to its character Owl, that gives them an interesting personality. It goes a long way!

Almost 5 hours in game I gotta say if you're on the fence about pick this game up here is a small video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilAWf-sLHlk talking about the game an what to expect after purchase. It's a fun Survival Card game having the two creatures become one life if either one dies the game is over. Having to craft better cards for your personal deck then having to worry about crafting tools or Quality or life furniture for your camp. It's very pleasant to look at from the art style with the mechanics are easy to understand but hard to master. It's worth checking out.
