Rogue Empire: Dungeon Crawler RPG

It is the most user friendly version of this genre that I've ever played. If you are new to turn based roguelike dungeon crawlers definitely give this a try

[h1][b]6/10[/b][/h1] Reminds me a little of some other Roguelikes, but slightly better. Some other Roguelikes feel punitive & unnecessarily unfriendly to new players, while this one is a little more plain *fun*... though apparently it can be quite challenging if you'd like it to be. It does have significant autoexplore issues, item/enemy visibility issues, and unnecessary complexity that hold it back from a higher score. Rogue Fable 3 is much better in almost every category. It'll be tough for another Roguelike to ever dethrone RF3. Maybe possibly RF4 will. [h2]Pros:[/h2] - Good music - Can zoom in/out a *massive* amount - Tons of difficulty and game/campaign options, including no permadeath - You can actually change movement/autoexplore speed. This is *huge* for me as I hate when it's so fast my character is effectively teleporting & I don't know how they got there - Lots of character stats, equipment slots, etc. There's a lot of depth, but it's not overwhelming - Nice color palette. Not boring or murky like many games - I love the glowing effects you see with some spell effects, leveling up, portals and whatnot - Really cool levelup sequence. You also get "cards" which are semi-random skills, usually passives but not always - Has a combat log, which is fantastic for knowing what's going on and for learning the game [h2]Mehs:[/h2] - Characters extremely ugly with massively huge heads. I wish there were more character appearance options since you're staring at them for countless hours - Good enemy variety, but it feels bizarre. Why on earth are all these different things working together in the same room/level? Rogue Fable 3 does this much better with 4 levels at a time with a theme of enemies [h2]Cons:[/h2] - Biggest one: it's often very difficult to see items on the ground. Sometimes it's because the height of the tile in front of it blocks your view of it, sometimes it's because background items like rocks look like items, and sometimes it's because it's a similar color as the background. Autoexplore does take you to items on the ground, but only once so if you're not paying enough attention, you could miss stuff. At least gold is automatically looted - Similarly, sometimes enemies are hard to see because they blend in and/or are partly shadowed due to partial vision (though your character knows they're there) - Autoexplore takes you to the previous exit when a level is cleared. Rather annoying when you want to go forward, not back... which is almost all the time - If going back to a previous level, autoexplore takes you to every little thing you had to drop because you couldn't carry it or because it wasn't worth enough to pick up. Very annoying - Autoexplore stops for barrels, which never seem to have anything useful in them - Can't stop autoexplore once it's going - Too difficult to learn new spells early on - Tons and *tons* of unnecessary items and spells. Rogue Fable 3 is much better at this with fewer but more versatile spells and with fewer garbage items - Locked door mechanics are unnecessary. Why does the Unlock spell take health from the caster?? Why so many keys? Why does kicking a door do more damage vs literally breaking my leg when exploring on the world map? None of it makes sense and none of it adds to the enjoyment of the game - Energy system isn't explained and is altogether unnecessary - Druids can't use any ranged weapons at all? Not even a staff? I don't remember it warning me of that. Lame - All pets kinda suck. Either they don't follow you or you have to keep casting something to teleport them, and/or they're quite weak. Also, Druids likely won't be learning any summon for a long time, and Mages not for a very long time - Dev seems so concerned with "balance" that it makes the game less fun for most classes. It's unfortunate - Boss fights aren't terribly fun

Just boring. There's very little enemy variety and the later dungeons are just mashing through giant rooms and corridors absolutely filled with the same 10 enemies. On enemy spellcaster turns they have a little missile shooting animation that takes like a quarter of a second, which turns into a huge pain in the ass when you're fighting through a room with 10 of them that shoot every turn. Despite that there was pretty much no chance of dying as long as I didn't just sit there.

i cant really give it a proper try due to gui being soo bad, sorry

Incredibly boring.

this is a rogue game that tries to be as fair as possible (instead of assuming that you will play 500 hours to learn its most obscure secrets and will eventually make a perfect run in order to beat it) it is very class based, in the sense that the most important decission is your class from where your skills and most of your stats derive, the base game offers assassin, ranger, druid and mage. it makes the game quite replayable because playing as a mage is totally different in terms of strategy and feeling that playing a ranger or a druid. the good thing is that if you are careful and you chose the skills accordingly when you level up the game is doable (at least for easy and normal, i have not played in hard mode) there is a bit of meta progression in the sense that once you complete the game or you die you acumulate a currency that unblocks small improvements, nothing game-breaking but makes your chars better as you make a few runs the graphics are crispy and the ui is good enough (easily accessible quick keys and no weird shortcut keys to do basic things, almost all the usual things can be done easily with the keyboard or keyboard and mouse)

堅牢な状態を作っていくタイプで、スキルやアイテムはルーチン化した行動の一部といった感じのゲーム。

An ok roguelike. Pretty straightforward and is fine enough on sale. I got it for $3 and had a decent time. Good for a change of pace if you get a bit tired of the classic favorites.
