Reignbreaker

[h2] So people just lie about this game [/h2] The game is very well done, an hades-like game that builds on top of the basic foundation and improves on the genre very much. People post review without even playing the game, it's very clear once you play it. First thing first, the elephant in the room: Audio design. There is a clear lack of audio effects in this game, a lot of big powerful attacks make very little sound and often feel underwhelming compared to the visual effects. Music is also a bit lackluster, the main title and credits have amazing music but the game has very few songs. That being said, I really don't think that this ruins the game compared to the rest. THE VISUALS! AMAZING! Especially the VFXs, the neon magenta and neon yellow accents are amazing, the orange, green, teal and purple are amazing. I think they could've gotten further with the colors, making them pop much more. The style is very different from the hades visual style and I think it encapsulates perfectly the medivalpunk theme. The gameplay: perfect. A classic isometric 3d roguelike. But with a lot of new attacks and way to interact with both enemies and the enviroment. The enemies are not many but I think that the number of different enemies is right for a game like this. The length: perfect. They had materials for about a 10 hours gameplay but they do sell it at €10, it has a lot of replayability and it is full of content for this 10 hours. The story: short and sweet. They kept it simple but I prefer simple to useslessly intricate, detailed and long exhausting stories that go nowere at the end or require 10 gameplays to actually understand it. Conclusion: this game has a lot of potential and a lot of really good ideas. It's really unfortunate that the studio got gutted after this game because a sequel would've been amazing. Overall vote: 8/10 Bonus paragraph: amazing queer representation.

Игра, очевидно, черпала вдохновение в Hades. Что подкупает. Первые пару часов. После чего обнаруживается, что залы штурмуемых крепостей, хоть и рандомно сгенерированы, но все равно одинаковы. Рядовые враги, хоть условно и принадлежат разным фракциям, но все же одинаковы. В процессе ты открываешь новые пики, но они практически одинаковы. А главное, забеги происходят под одинаковую мрачную и тягучую виолончельную музыку. Что может быть и прикольно, но только первую пару часов. И это не изменится. Уже почти год как версия игры застыла на 1.0.1. Но есть ли в Rainbreaker что-то хорошее? Есть. Хотя бы офигенная песня в меню. Визуальный стиль… хотя это кому как, конечно. Но я считаю, что художники постарались, совместив средневековую мрачную готику с задорным панком. Героини, опять же симпатичные и необычные. Босы неплохие. Но если сравнивать с Hades (а сравнение неизбежно), героиня не настолько хорошо управляется. Система получаемых бафов не так хорошо продумана. А штуки, которые можно купить за ключи – я вообще молчу. А нет, я говорю. Бегать по всем закоулкам, собирать сотки ключей, чтобы спустить их на баф, который слетает при получении первого же урона. Магазины есть на уровнях и между уровнями. А как, интересно, я должен угадать, потратить ли ключи в магазине на уровне или в магазине между уровнями будет что-то нормальное (например, уровни навыка). Я нашел на уровне новую пику, но как мне понять, которая из них новая, когда я приду в хаб перевооружаться? Они выглядят одинаково. Все это можно было бы исправить патчами… но увы, почти год как 1.0.1. Вывод: играть рекомендую только если очень хочется чего-то Hades-подобного, но не Hades, при этом вы тащитесь от заунывной виолончельной музыки, а также не стеснены в деньгах и обладаете немалым терпением. Всем удачи!

The visual art style for this game is great, but that's potentially why it's so disappointing that the sound design is just so entirely abysmal. Many animations have no sound or have a sound so muted that it's basically missing. Boss fights are bizarre because they are so quiet with massive attacks making almost no sound at all. On top of that, there's not much music. The song that plays when you activate a combat encounter is good, but it's the same one every time over and over and over and over and it overstays its welcome. The actual mechanics are...fine. Upgrades aren't that interesting, but even when you get something good, it often feels lackluster because there's no decent sound to give any attacks a real punchiness. I would love to recommend this game, but even when it's on sale, it's not worth your money.

-No in-game option for windowed mode -Forcibly switches on fullscreen mode when the game starts -Game game being relatively unoptimized -Intentionally disabled the out-of-the-box input ALT+ENTER to prevent manual switching to the windowed mode Talk about technical self-sabotage. It is as if the development goal was to make this game as technically inaccessible as possible. You have a feature for selecting the right monitor (read: a niche case) yet you do not have the standard feature of windowed mode that Unity comes with? "Disabling windowed mode" is one of those things that you do not want to do unless you are making the game for a specific device that does not support windows. On PC platforms, that is a straight up wrong thing to do. So you want me to play a poorly optimized Hades-wannabe in the modern native resolution of 1080p? Even the 720p resolution skips more frames than a fat man does with salads. I bet even a game this poorly optimized would run okay when downscaled to 400p or 360p. Too bad the developers went out of their way to make that Unity out-of-the-box feature disappear. A game this rudimentary should not even joke about taking 16 GB. It doesn't (thank the creators), though the system recommendations entertaining that idea tells how nuts the developers are. I am not asking developers to optimize the game (because 90 % of the cases they cannot pull it off and that is the root cause). Instead I am asking to ALLOW me to downscale it myself so that it runs acceptably despite the lack of optimization. I am not even going to mention the option of having low-definition assets (read: can be automatically generated by scaling down the existing ones) so that you have a playable experience to offer. For reference, this game is graphically on par with games on Xbox 360 and that device had measly 512 MB of RAM. I got this game from a Fanatical Mystery Bundle.

10/10 Game! First of all, what a hidden gem, I did not expect it to be this high quality. Combat is fun, fast paced, and punchy. Really fun rogue-like that lets you experiment with all sort of cool mods (there are no bad ones! It depends on what you are going for and how much synergy it has with your current set of mods when you pick up another one :D ) It has really appealing visuals that are almost "comic book-ish" and a sound track that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slaps. What else could you possibly want! Worth the price 100%, plus they often have deals with other great games when you buy this one and vice versa.

Доволі непоганий та дуже бадьорий рогалик. Нагадує Hades

Its ok but nothing special its cyberpunk hades with nice graphics and dialogue, a bit limited on enemy variety but still worth playing buy it on o discount.
