Guidus Zero

게임 자체는 엄청 재밋는데 ai 일러스트 볼때마다 재미가 반감됨... 묘하네

A very charming game, although it suffers a little bit from not enough information being explained and being rather unfair a lot of the time. Gameplay wise, I had a lot of fun all the way through, with the whole grid-system being quite engaging. Most bosses were very fun to learn the patterns for, and some are easily baitable to do specific attacks that might be more convenient to dodge or abuse for damage. The story is okay, typical fantasy "save the world from evil forces lurking in the depths" going on here. It gets the job done. Endings being gated behind harder difficulties is quite an odd choice though. While it may be manageable on the easier ones, Eclipse and Total Eclipse are a huge jump in difficulty (those alone took more than half of my total playtime to do). Enemies get so condensed on the harder difficulties that it becomes basically impossible to avoid damage, on top of some enemies teleporting right into attacking range out of player reach or moving away from you before attacking. They do a lot more damage as well, even with damage reduction (yay!!!!!!). Also, said enemies become faster than normal, meaning they can easily overwhelm you unless you have a way of quickly clearing the room while avoiding most of the madness that is currently happening. Artifacts are very hit or miss. A few are run defining, most seemingly do minimal stat changes, some outright ruin the run, and some do nothing at all or are completely insignificant other than activating spirit powers. Funnily enough, getting flat ATK is a lot better than ATK% since the player has so little ATK to begin with it barely grows, and most artifacts give ATK%. Making builds is basically a no-go. Each playable character gets 2 different abilities to choose from before starting a run, and all of it's performance comes from leveling up and spending trait points to upgrade them. Stat boosts barely do anything to them, although a few artifacts can form synergies (and some can straight up make it unusable). Rooms are very predictable, since from what I've experienced they are not procedurally generated, but preset layouts that get picked at random. I've seen identical floor layouts more than once in my playthroughs, but that allows run optimization for speedruns and whatnot, so I'm not that against it. Getting the achievements is a breeze considering you will get all of them before getting the good ending, and I really like that. I'd love to see this more often in more games, because hunting collectibles is just not fun at all. One glaring problem this game has is that it has no documentation about it anywhere, no dedicated wiki, nothing. This means that you will need to figure stuff out yourself as you play. There might be stuff on the official Discord for the game but I never bothered checking, nor do I care. Also one texture is broken half the time, not that it affects the gameplay but it's quite funny. While this game has quite a few flaws, I'd say this is worth playing. I enjoyed the time i had with this game.
