Caveblazers is an action focused platformer roguelike set in a fantasy world. Each game is unique with procedurally generated levels to explore and a massive amount of items, weapons and equipment to discover.
The game takes place in a recently discovered cave, said to hold "unimaginable power". You play as an adventurer setting out to explore the cave and find out what riches it holds. However, you are not the only one...
As you delve deeper in to the cave, you'll discover new areas to explore, new weapons and new monsters to try them out on.
Smart Characters! Throughout your journey you will encounter AI characters. Some friendly, some hostile. We're using an advanced pathfinding system which means friendly characters will be able to follow you wherever you go, and hostile characters will be able to track you down wherever you hide. There is no escape. Be afraid!
Platformer Roguelike! Caveblazers is a modern platformer which incorporates some Roguelike and RPG elements such as permanent death, randomized potion identities, an RPG-style inventory system and tons of items, equipment and upgrades!
Daily Challenge Runs! Each day a new adventure will be generated! It will be the same for everyone and you'll only get one chance at it! These challenge runs give you a starting loadout, and feature a set of different traits.
Epic Boss Battles! Between each area you'll encounter a boss. Each boss is very unique, requiring a different strategy to defeat. Bosses are generally gigantic monstrosities with life bars stretching across the entire screen. Good luck!
Character Customization! A whole load of unlockable hats, tunics, trousers, robes, and more! Or perhaps you fancy stripping off and heading in to the caves in the nude? Go for it!
Compelling Combat! Largely overlooked in other modern Roguelike games, Caveblazers attempts to move away from the simplistic combat systems we've seen in other games in the genre, and incorporates fun, fluid and fast-paced combat which is accentuated by the game's brutal and persistent blood effects.
Challenges! In case that isn't enough content, Caveblazers features a bunch of challenges for the well seasoned players to take a punt at. These challenges reward players with new items, weapons & perks!
"challenging brutal roguelike platformer" definetively doesn't sound like my type of game, but as a freebie I had to try it, and yes, is not my type of game, just repeating the same over and over again until you inevitably die, I prefer handcrafted platforming challenges rather than proceduraly generated screens, also, it would benefit a lot from free aim instead of 8 directional aim. Mosrt magic items require you to deal damage to recharge instead of working on cooldowns, which suck. At least the music is catchy.
NOT RECOMMENDED. The movement controls floaty and finicky to the point jumping over a stationary spikes becomes difficult. Everything goes too fast and there is no time to react. Add in abundant kamikaze bomber enemies and you have game that is made only for crack addicts. Your carefully played game progress can instantly be deleted by a couple of bombers coming out of nowhere, blowing you up and you landing onto spikes before you can grasp where you are.
This is seriously bad. Even if you added fixes like slowed down gameplay, movement taps on keyboard that does not accelearate you halfway across the room and even if jumping was a bit more floaty to make it easier and more fun to do, the game has content problems. With all the journal entries, the perks, blessings etc., I got the feeling this is a barebone game setup padded with a bunch of items and silly minor features. It feels like just another kill-everyone game without any kind of purpose or unique content that makes it worth picking out of thousands of similar games.
I feel bored making this game and spend most of my energy on trying to jump and failing half the time, a thing you do constantly in this game. It is not fun. It is boring, old-fashioned and lazy. Also very unpolished. The controls make you slide all over the place. The best control in the game is unistall button. Oh and the 8-direction ranged shooting is a major issue since the enemies rarely line up with the 8 directions without you moving. On top of that, those 8 directions arch with gravity, meaning you will end up shooting weird angled shots and you do not time to be careful with shots when you can be rained with enemies at any moment and both your melee and ranged attacks are slow as molasses while enemies are faster than Satan is at making friends with an Iraqi leader.
