rogue misery
rogue wizards tries some cool stuff - with an interesting dungeon crawling experience and well executed graphics style, but leaves something to be desired in the gameplay. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hY4BrBTCRA Text: Rogue Wizard charms with interesting graphics, pulling you into well built dungeons that feel like you explore them, with treasure doled out and monsters slain. This translates back into the items you get. With a large variety of weapons and armour, with varied effects that combat changes remain interesting, if not particularly tactical. The item leveling mechanic also gives something interesting to you, even if it's a completely passive mechanic with zero input or influence from the player. the problems with the game do tie into that... with most things in the game giving little to no control to you outside of stats gear. The levels are linear, with the various dungeons being controlled and contained. you are not allowed to leave until you complete them or die, but as death has no apparent penalty and even less of an impact it really has no "danger' to it. Further, i feel the game is needlessly padded with grind and grime to extend playtime, without adding content. with the first boss being level 4, but being reachable at lvl 1...and dying before trying 2-3 more times until you're high even level. and the story repeats with every boss after. Various mobs and their mechanical variety is quite well implemented, it doesn't alleviate the very tedious combat. It boils into a waiting game for monsters to come to you. With potions healing to full and being more plentiful, actual danger is never really a thing and that doesn't do justice, coupled with most monsters dying in 1 hit, you dont really feel like you in combat as much as you're playing whack a mole. I didn't really enjoy my experience with the game, but its far from un-salvage and your mileage might vary as to how much you can deal with grind to experience the cool loot.
