Blacken Slash

Nice jams and presentation. Doesn't run real good on the steamdeck though.

Having a good time so far, need to figure out what momentum does and maybe my builds will improve. A good puzzle solving roguelike, risk reward to go for loot or get attacks in from melee or range.

[DEU] wer Fan von solchen Games oder Core Defense liebte, kann ich Blacken Slash sehr empfehlen und der Entwickler emprath redet mit seinen Spielern was Wünsche, Feedback oder sonstige dinge die sein neuestes Spiel betrifft.

Puzzle-y, turn-based tactics roguelite. Can feel frustratingly random and punishing, but not hard to learn and super fun regardless. Excellent concept, aesthetic, and audio effects and music. Give it a try!

一款精巧的战棋肉鸽，局内的主动被动技能均由随机词条组成。带有一些刷宝要素，但大概就一个小时左右就能见完大部分的深度了。 每件装备都要立刻决定去/留，算是肉鸽刷宝比较常见的轻量化处理方式，避免玩家频繁更换装备的决策成本过高。不过也或多或少会限制一局玩到后面的BD迭代思路。 不过，游戏里提供了一个中转仓库，能把用不上又舍不得丢的好装备，花钱存进去给未来的局用，可以理解为“传家宝”系统。新的一局可以对着仓库里的一大堆装备，精挑细选，甚至能够带着凑齐了的套装出门。这样一世接一世，越打越强，对于愿意久玩的玩家来说，重玩体验可能挺有意思的。不过很可惜，玩家的强度存在上限，游戏的难度/奖励机制也没太跟得上，使得这个好创意的发挥比较有限。

A minimalistic tactical puzzler with lots of variety between each run. Tons of "equipment" to dig into for meta-gaming and generally very satisfying to complete a level. It's challenging, but that just makes it feel more rewarding once you get one level further.

Fun, turn based game with great music. My second play in I figured out which upgrade to rush and easily beat the game, then again to score high on the ladder. The final level wasn't very challenging, some variation (lightning? Shifting board?) would be nice. The ladder is a nice touch. I haven't tried the overloads yet, which I assume will up the challenge enough to bring some replay value by requiring different strategies to win. Performance Concerns 1. I notice that every 10 minutes or so (usually on the screen in between rounds) my macbook pro's fans spin up loudly for 1-2 minutes. 2. REQUEST - It would be nice to have an option to cap the FPS at 30 for when I'm running on just the battery. A lot of games I like have a low resource mode (FTL, Slay the Sprire, etc)
