Lootbound

The game boasts a striking visual style that immediately draws you in, paired with a genuinely clever core concept. Inventory management mechanic, in particular, feels fresh and satisfying to interact with. Gameplay loop shows great potential, and you can feel the solid foundation beneath it. However, experience is currently held back by a brutally unforgiving RNG system that often feels unfair rather than challenging. Character building lacks the depth needed for meaningful replayability, and the overall content variety feels somewhat limited at this stage. With some fine-tuning to the randomness and a broader pool of items and enemies, this could easily become a standout title. For now, it's a promising gem with a few rough edges.

TLDR: Good game for its price. (launch price 13 CAD (around 9 US) I've played about 25 hours of actual gameplay. Pro: Good game for it's price. Mechanic work well. Priced cheap, a no brainer for the price. Con: The town bulding aspect is a lackluster. Building are mostly "Lore" oriented. Shards on successful run give too much of a bonus for the next runs. Somehow the art feels like a "deja vu". I feel like the game has enough to play through all heroes and levels.. but once it's done.. the game is mostly done. I think I have 4-6 mores hours to finish the levels.

Exploring dungeons is cool, as long as the police aren’t looking for you.

Дуже сподобалось. Покрокові бої, компаньйони діють самі, а інвентар з аурами предметів дозволяє реально експериментувати з білдами — одне переміщення предмета може змінити весь підхід до бою. Ризикові кімнати з вибором нагород і кастомізація фінального боса додають реіграбельності. Щільний, продуманий rogue-lite. Рекомендую.

Greedy but that's OK.
