Skills & Raids

全体的に戦闘難易度は低めで、某Darkestなんたらのような緊張感のある戦闘を期待すると物足りず。 2～3回ほど戦闘すれば帰還できるため、エクストラクションRPGだが全滅しそうな場面は今のところなし。 「○○を倒す」「○○を集める」といったクエストを進めるのが中心で、拠点の発展要素やキャラクター育成要素は特になし 操作キャラクターは亀・狼・フクロウの3人で固定。それぞれタンク・DPS・ヒーラーという役割も固定。 装備にもランダム性能はなく、レアリティによる違いはあれどステータスはすべて固定。 全体としてシンプルなゲーム性で遊びやすく、エクストラクション系ゲームを初めて触る人の入門向けに感じた。 ハクスラ要素や育成、歯ごたえのある高難易度を求める人は物足りないかも。 【追記】 深淵ボス、クエスト全クリア クリア後の周回要素や敵の強化もないため現状コンテンツ不足 戦闘は面白かったのでおススメのままにしときます

The unique art and extraction auto battler premise hooked me into this game. Overall, I enjoyed it so far! Overall: Great (A cute little game, enjoy the mood, don't expect Darkest Dungeon level of content) Gameplay: Good (Fun for an autobattler) Graphics: Excellent (Unique hand drawn art style) Music: Excellent (Nice mood) Sound Effects: Good (Could be better) Story: Fair (It's an autobattler) Controls: Good UI: Great (Beautiful, but some scaling issues with non 9:16 aspect ratios) Performance: Excellent Replayability: Fair (For an autobattler, strategy, RPG, extraction, it could use more replayability elements) Value: Good Critique so far: Could include more difficulties and progression leaning harder into the extraction and loot, more strategic decisions and gameplay actions, more RNG replayability. But overall, I'm satisfied.

I really don't want to have to give this a thumbs down because it seems polished for a small game. I have a lot of cons though and not many pros, so I will probably just ramble here for the dev and curious people. I didn't even have to play for an hour to see the loop and decide I didn't want to put the time in to get through the linear grind to see the rest. The map is very weird, kinda click around and stumble into enemies like pokemon but theres like 3-4 enemies in between each tiny node on the map. So getting to things is tedious, the small distance you have to travel is SLAMMED with encounters that make it annoying. At the same time the map is just kinda blind, there are times where you just don't see anything and you are literally just clicking in a random direction, this does not reward you(or maybe it does since the point is to battle for items but it feels weird). I have seen a crow spot on the map, attempted to get there and by the time I got there it was gone and just more enemies, so I had to battle like 7 encounters just to get back to where I started, leaving all the loot on the ground because of my inventory. The UI and menu are clean and have nice sounds but are missing a lot of QOL. The thumping and ambient sounds at the descent table pranked me into thinking my house was being broken into a couple times...The inventory management is tedious and hard to see things at a quick glance without reading everything. You cannot map certain functions to different buttons and I was not able to map anything to my mouse buttons. Equipping and managing characters seems harder than it needs to be, again kinda just UI QOL here with the inventory. The crafting is just "do quest, unlock recipe that uses trash items you just found on map" soooo you're just crafting everything in a linear path and picking up rare skills here and there. It also suffers from the same tired old mobile game "mechanics" where one place does poison damage so you mitigate that and get poison stuff then you move here and its frost stuff and everything is frosty and you deal with that blah blah. Just tired of the everything is an element and you have to cater around the elements rather than the fighting. Speaking of the fighting, the animations are cool but the shaking of the characters is really bad. Very hard to see your own HP/MP bars and buffs/debuffs when your characters is flying around stabbing on the screen. The game seems promising though, I could see people who like Tarkov type extractors enjoying this but it seemed boring to me. I filled up my stash in less than an hour, crafted a couple things, but ultimately just clicking around on the map and mowing through endless encounters didnt grab me.

Skill & Raids es un RPG auto battler y a su vez tiene mecánicas de juego de extracción, es una combinación rara, pero que funciona increíblemente bien. Nunca había jugado a un juego de extracción, es decir esta fue mi primera experiencia y fue muy buena, fue empezar a jugar y no soltarlo hasta terminar, el bucle jugable esta muy bien hecho, y si bien en general el riesgo de perder las cosas no es tan latente, si que me vi en aprietos y perdí mis ítems un par de veces, el arte es muy bonito, y el soundtrack acompaña bien, sin llegar a ser demasiado protagonista. La duración del juego es bastante ajustada, me hubiera gustado poder seguir progresando, pero entiendo que el alcance del juego era ese, y yo me doy por bien servido, si tuviera una queja muy puntual, seria el jefe final y como un tipo de build es mucho más efectiva que todo el resto y lo hace bastante frustrante si no llevas la mencionada build. En mas no puedo sino recomendar este juego a cualquiera que disfrute de experiencias frescas.

The game is sub 2h I went in because I love autobattlers and furry baits It is fairly boring, you're being streamlined through quests without any deviation Combat is ridiculous, pseudo-piano and is super flat. It is easy and most of the time you don't even have to look at your HP or Mana. Mechanics are questionable, Focus Points are not worth it, poison for some reason only stacks to 8, frostbite is useless, charge is decent, bleed and corruption are strong just because they're later in the game. Final boss is a joke stat stick that poses no threat! I'm just disappointed, this could've been so much more if there were more actually interesting mechanics.

Hilando magníficamente conceptos a priori ajenos entre sí como la extracción, el rol y lo que solo se me ocurre definir como un auto battler, Skill & Raids se ha convertido en uno de mis juegos latinos favoritos de toda la historia. Hubiese apreciado una mayor cantidad de contenido, sin embargo, considerando lo refinado que está y su divino apartado artístico y musical, últimamente me alegra que se haya priorizado la intensidad que la longevidad.

​[EN] ​Recommended: Yes 👍 ​Skill & Raids kept me hooked until the end. It's a great mix of continuous battles, RPG management, and extraction mechanics. Knowing it was made by a solo dev, the merit here is insane. ​The Best Parts: ​Art, Music, and UI: Character and enemy designs are top-notch, with great animations and a fitting soundtrack. The user interface is also very clean. ​Map Exploration: Instead of just picking a static path like in other games, you move through a map divided into zones that you unlock by completing missions. During your expedition, you decide your direction: move towards a healing spot, find the crow to secure loot, or risk a question mark event for rare items. ​The Crow: This is a lifesaver mechanic. You can interact with a crow mid-mission to send your loot back to base so you don't lose it if you die. ​Real Tension: Death is heavily penalized, adding a great layer of difficulty that forces you to think about every step before returning to your safe base. ​Tips for Beginners: ​Patience at the start: The learning curve is a bit steep because there's a lot of info and mechanics to take in, but once it clicks, the gameplay loop is highly addictive. (Combat lacks a tiny bit of sound impact, but you get used to it quickly). ​Menu Warning!: Be careful when leaving a room mid-run! There is a warning, but I exited right at the start of a room thinking I'd be fine, and I lost all my equipment and skills. Consider yourselves warned! ​Prepare well: Because I was terrified of dying, I farmed carefully until my characters were armed to the teeth with legendary gear. As a result, I completely destroyed the final boss. The game really rewards you for managing your RPG stats well! ​Conclusion: It has a few rough edges, which is normal for such an ambitious solo project, but the core loop is incredibly fun. A highly commendable project that absolutely deserves a chance. ​[ES] ​Recomendado: Sí 👍 ​Skill & Raids me ha tenido enganchado hasta terminarlo. Es una mezcla de batallas continuas, gestión RPG y extracción que funciona súper bien. Sabiendo que el juego está hecho por una sola persona, el mérito que tiene es una locura. ​Lo más top: ​El arte, la música y la UI: El diseño de los personajes y enemigos está a un nivel altísimo, animaciones geniales y una banda sonora muy buena. Además, la interfaz es súper limpia. ​Exploración del mapa: En lugar de elegir caminos prefijados, aquí te desplazas por un mapa dividido en zonas que vas liberando al cumplir misiones. Tú decides la dirección: moverte hacia una cura, ir al cuervo o buscar equipo raro en los signos de interrogación. Da una sensación de control muy guapa. ​El Cuervo: Hay un cuervito al que le pillas cariño rápido. Te sirve para enviar tu botín a la base en plena misión y no perderlo. ¡Un salvavidas! ​Tensión real: La muerte penaliza de verdad, lo que le da un toque de dificultad genial que te obliga a pensar bien cada paso. ​Consejos para los que empiecen: ​Paciencia al inicio: La curva de aprendizaje es dura porque hay bastante información que asimilar, pero en cuanto le pillas el truco, el bucle jugable es un vicio. (Quizás al combate le falte un pelín de peso sonoro en los golpes, pero te acostumbras rápido). ​¡Cuidado con los menús!: Un aviso importante: si sales de la sala a mitad de partida, pierdes tu equipo. Hay un aviso, pero yo me salí justo al empezar una room pensando que no pasaría nada y perdí todo el equipamiento y habilidades. Avisados quedáis! ​Prepárate bien: Como le cogí tanto respeto a morir, me dediqué a farmear con cuidado hasta ir armado hasta los dientes con armas legendarias. ¿El resultado? Reventé al jefe final. ¡El juego te recompensa mucho si usas bien la parte RPG! ​Conclusión: Tiene cositas por pulir, lógico en un proyecto tan ambicioso hecho por una sola persona, pero el bucle jugable es divertidísimo. Un proyecto con un mérito enorme al que vale la pena darle una oportunidad.
