Sephiria

A great co-op experience! Really fun to try different builds. There's a lot of customization available so everyone can play how they want. Similar to Hades, you can also customize the difficulty, adding modifiers that increase trap damage, reduce the amount that you heal, or increase enemy damage/health. The story is kinda whatever, your usual chosen-one-destiny narrative. Would've preferred if we could mash through the cutscenes that play out at an annoyingly slow pace, which I don't often desire in story-based games. But ultimately, we are here for the gameplay, and Sephiria delivers.

I used to be basically addicted to Dungreed, so when I recently found out that the same devs made this game, I was really excited. 12 hours into the game, that excitement went down the drain incredibly fast. Dashing is downright useless at times as the amount of i-frames you get from it make it feel like you need to be frame-perfect with the execution. The amount of damage bosses do is also just ridiculous. It's not an issue of difficulty, most of the bosses' attacks are fine to deal with (emphasis on most, the main boss of floor 4 is horrible), but you lose half your health after getting hit like, twice. I tried with a lot of builds on a lot of different weapons, but in those 12 hours, I had a grand total of 3 successful runs. Wish I liked the game more, but I don't. Sad :-(

good co-op roguelite

180時間プレイしてもまだまだ遊べるゲーム。最高難易度も理不尽というほどではなくやりごたえがあり、やりこみ要素として文句がないです。神ゲー

Phenomenal game. I just beat it at about the 40 hour mark and I plan on playing more. Most roguelikes fail to capture my attention for more than 5-10 or so hours even games like hades I struggled to stay. This game is fantastic and you should play it.

One of my favorite roguelikes. It has a huge amount of QoL features moment to moment that honestly feel great to use. Running when out of combat to explore quickly, Quick travel between rooms, well telegraphed attacks, easy to understand and use UI for all elements, combat, inventory, and otherwise. A journal to look at all discovered items and weapons and a sort feature besides. All that pleasant and player friendly utility on top of a fun game with lots of interesting builds. They all play very different, have different strengths, and have lots of room for improvement and tuning both in the game during the run and at home doing builds and prep. If I were to nit pick the game, some of the descriptions and effects are not super well explained and some things are obviously better then others. That being said I've managed to beat the game at Hard Mode difficulty 50 with every weapon type and every main 'element' or type, so you can make anything work at the hardest level even if it's a lot more restricted. Beyond the so-so balance of some things and maybe misleading description of a few items or effects the last thing I'd want to see is more options that are transformative or allow additional power at the absolute top end to try for 'dream' runs. In game examples being the crocodile skin that changes your defense to scale damage on a percentile, Or the lizard scholar skin that caps your max health very low but gives you infinite mana. I'd also like them to raise the max skewer count to allow more control over the item pool. More things like this would be a welcome addition but these are my very minor and only complaints. If you like roguelikes at all, or think you'd like this I'd recommend giving it a try for sure, well worth your time and money.
