Flinthook

A hidden gem and a must try. My Rating: 10/10

Game looks fun, right ?! But the controls are HORRIBLE !! and not rebindable. I want to love this game, but I hate it. Controller or mouse and keyboard, it is a pain in the bum.

Has grown to become one of my favorite hidden gems... Superbly fun!

This is a very solid game for what it is but unfortunately suffers from a lack of variety or content. Having said that, as you can probably tell, I still recommend this game. The artstyle and characters are charming and unique, and the worldbuilding is fun and engaging. The items that do exist are good and help to shake the game up a little bit. The progression feels nice, and the pacing is good. Everything about this game is solid. If you're hoping to have a game you can keep playing over and over for hours and never get bored, though, this unfortunately is not it. It lacks the it factor that a game like Binding of Isaac has. The variety is just a little to constrained, the enemies just a little to predictable. If I could completely change weapons, there were more kinds of hooks, anything like this would have gone a long way towards replayability. And enemies only have one kind of elite, kind of like the Jammed in Enter The Gungeon. If there were more kinds of enemies to give you some variety and break up the monotony that also would have helped. Overall, it's a very good game, but I would treat it more like a story game than a true roguelike. Which is unfortunate, because i followed this game since early development.

Si les images visibles sur la page du magasin, le [i]gameplay[/i] au grappin souvent imprécis, les incessants aller-retours dans les niveaux et le fait que seul 16% des joueurs ont vaincu le deuxième [i]boss[/i] ne vous refroidissent pas, vous accrocherez probablement à ce [i]rogue-lite[/i] difficile à aborder mais qui cache sûrement quelques trésors.

This review is written in Euskara. We have asked Steam to add our language to the review system many times but they haven't done it yet. I am sorry if we the Basque people "invade" the English review pool but we don't have many other options right now. It is much more difficult for us to find reviews in our language because we can't filter them by language. We hope this situation finds a solution soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. Here you can find a deeper review I wrote about the game (it is written in euskara) / Jokoari buruz egindako analisi sakonagoa hemen: https://gamerauntsia.eus/bloga/flinthook-analisia/ - Roguelite nahiko berezia. - Estetika koloretsu eta alaia. - Kontrol ereduak erronka suposatzen du baina interesgarria da. - Bideojoko zaila izan daiteke hainbeste jokalarirentzat.

fun gameplay when you can actually see where the hell you are. which happens less and less as you progress.

hook hook, blam blam, awesome game!
