Panta Rhei - Guardian of Time

- innovative Kampfmechanik - niedlicher Artstyle - präzise Steuerung - hübsche Cutscenes - gutes Fertigkeitenmenü und viele verschiedene Abilities

I played the game roughly for 110 minutes now. In general, I was pleased with the overall game experience. Panta Rhei is a roguelike game that did not feel similar to different other games with the roguelike tag. Gathering more and more abilities in the beginning to be used to progress the story, learing the combat and the combinations of attacks and bonuses/skills to get stronger and make combat easier. The vast possibilities to find your own playstyle was very appealing to me. Unfortunately, there might still be room for improvement at some points. During some runs in the story part (Realm of time) but more often during some time in the bonus part (Floating Farms) I experienced invisible walls withing the bridges that connect the different rooms or a passage being blocked for combat not getting opened after winning the fight. I had to cancel these runs and was a liitle bit disappointed. Additionally, sometimes the graphic feels slightly off, e.g., when you see a ruin with a destroyed wall and there is a hole in this wall but you still cannot go throught that hole eventhough your character obviously looks like he can fit there. Nevertheless, I like the game and hope some of the bugs get fixed at some point.

awesome game, played it at Comix already :))

Quite a fun game with some interesting new ideas as far as I am concerned. Timebased mechanics add some twists into the combat that can feel pretty satisfying if pulled of as planned. Some permanent upgrades are available in the main Lobby part of the Map and they mostly add to the existing mechanics from what I've seen. So the game isnt too crowded with mechanics. With a bit over two hours i havent seen the whole game, but i will definitely try to beat it.

This game would have been really good if it were not for the deluge of glitches and bugs that occure... Here are some examples: - random t-posing time echos - bridge suddenly snapping into a different direction while crossing - bumping onto seemingly nothing but air - fog gate simply not opening after defeating all enemys, too bad you have to reset - getting shoved off a platform by an instant attack that is not even in range of you - getting teleported after the fall to the *wrong* platform, while enemys on the other platform are still alive and shooting ranged attacks over the screen, unseen - traps just stop activating at all - bombs stop blinking, but still explode after their set time, so you have to guess when they do - a rewinded statue braking even though I froze it, while the freeze timer is still on it - enemy charges behind a fog gate and is stuck there and on and on... While the combat mechanics are relatively basic at first, the time mechanics on top of it make combat pretty fun. But then theres a blink mechanic introduced that is just awkward to use. Instead of just blinking, you have to slow time, place a blink echo manually, release, and then blink to the placed echo. Doing that while in combat is overwhelming while you are being attacked from several angles. Then I made the mistake taking a power that automatically places blink echoes while I attack, assuming that those randomly placed echoes would be free (who partially spawned above chasms, basically a trap for you to teleport to)... but they were not, and constantly drained my resource to use time mechanics at all. I want to the discussion forums, and there were a few threads that mentioned a lot of the issues; they were acknowledged... but it seems they were never addressed in the whole year after the release? On top of that, there are apparently some story beats that were planned but never implemented. For example, rewinding an important broken statue you would think you can rewind after getting the power to, but you actually can't. And nothing was fixed or added in the year since release. I'll try to refund even though I am a bit over two hours... really sad to see this game was neglected after a rushed release.

I really enjoyed playing the game although I am not the biggest fan of rogue-like games. I really like the art style and the world setting in general. Especially the time based abilities are my favourites. Nevertheless, sometimes I was stuck especially on the bridges between the stages. All in all its a funny and eye catching game.

シンプルだけど面白いゲーム。バトルシステムがユニークで、シールド防御している敵には時間巻き戻し攻撃で自分が入れた攻撃を巻き戻してもう一度ダメージ入れれる。雰囲気もとてもよく世界観がよい。もっと流行っていいゲーム
