Dungeons of Blood and Dream

плюсы: -эта игра идет даже на моей нищей вафельнице 2015 года -ШИКАРНАЯ МУЗЫКА -много секреток(это настоящие запрятанные разработчицей вкусняхи, которые вы будете искать часами) -запоминающийся уникальный визуал -верблюд минусы: их нет на последок дам совет; не верьте тем, кто говорит пить мочу, слушайте голоса в голове, и покормите наконец Кеннета

A cool take on Modern-FPS dungeon crawlers. Square grid map, various rooms, run-based loop. The game so far only seems to feature melee weapons and a magic system that has you mixing sigils in specific orders to cast various spells(think Magicka). You find the spells combinations in these blood pools within the level but it seems the sigils are fixed so you can memorize them and use them permanently in any run after that. The spells cost health to cost which at first is quite taxing but as you permanently increase stats this becomes manageable. Potions exist too and randomaly adjust your stats in various ways. In typical roguelike fashion these potions can be positive or negative and you CANNOT determine which it is without first memorizing the flavor combination: "Blood + Wine" for example might increase strength, and if it does it will for the rest of the run. They change after each reset and force you to go through this process again. Not an uncommon trend run-based gameplay loop. The sound design is amazing. The game plays into a dream-like surreal feeling in both plot, visuals and soundscape. You're a blood wizard trapped in a "mind prison" and the only way to escape is to traverse the various worlds within the mind prison and defeat the bosses. The guy who trapped us in said mind prison gives a nice little monologue at the start that I felt set the scene and mood very well. Rings also act as gameplay modifiers/buffs similar to what you'd see in other roguelikes but you only get 10 fingers and you gotta equip/replace rings as you go. The mechanics aren't crazy. Archaic even. You use movement to bait and avoid damage while slashing back, quake shambler dance sorta stuff. You've played games like this before, what sells it is the world/sound/magic systems. The patterns from the enemies are also passable enough at a base level that it's enjoyable if using melee only, although to some I'm sure that alone would get boring. Anyway I'm quite impressed. I expected to play this for a few hours and backburner it forever only to forget its name but that's not what happened. I want to revisit and continue to progress. It's unique enough within a flooding genre to stand out to me.

what's the point of the spells, if they cost you 50% of your health and don't help? or are straight up useless. too much rng, no way to get a build going. attack, backstep, attack, backstep, attack ... ... only very short melee weapon. as most of the spells are useless. frustrating .. the first area is fun, but it becomes such a chore from the second onwards.

it was a little tough at the start but with every passing run it keeps getting more fun and more fun, im looking foward to finishing it, geniuenly peak game
