CRYPTARK

Fun concept and tight controls but there are too many effects to clearly see enemies with enemies also moving through closed doors or being partially being hidden by walls or the environment. It's not an easy game but I enjoy difficult but fair games. However, a rogue lite where enemies and their attacks are difficult to see due to cluttered environments and foreground objects... That is bad game design imho. The game encourages going fast and then punishes you because you cannot properly see enemies or traps. And when you find upgrades, the game also punishes your for using them because taking them with you costs money. I understand that I need to pay for weapons, but why do I have to pay for thr artefact that I found last round? A game should reward you for taking on extra challenges but not punish you for wanting to play with a loadout you enjoy. Don't make me pay for my weapons but rather reward me for not using some of them. The game already does the latter but sadly not the former. You have enough money to use the good weapons but money is THE resource in the game, so the game mechanics actively deter you from using a cool loadout.
