A Great Rogue-lite Platformer
This was a fantastic platformer which made great use of its rogue-lite mechanics. As is common for the genre, after the first couple dozen deaths without making much process, I initially found it a bit too difficult. However, as I kept at it, I come to realize my mistakes I was making and with perseverance, I made it to the game's ending. It was very rewarding. It's quite a casual experience, being a great game to play in short bursts. It loads fast and provides a shortcut key to skip the intro and menu to get straight into the gameplay. There's no save feature but as a single playthrough is short (roughly twenty minutes for me, an average player), there's no need for one. The path to the bottom of the cave isn't entirely linear either, with a number of hidden branching paths to discover, complete with other endings too. There's numerous items and monsters to discover as well, keeping each game feeling very fresh. There are a few flaws though. It was annoying that whenever a shopkeeper or his shop is damaged, even if not directly caused by you, they immediately become hostile towards the player. As the levels are randomly generated, I once saw a chain of events occur right as I entered it, causing this. When this occurs, the difficulty spikes up greatly. Also, when you take damage, you're stunned for a moment, unable to move and going limp. In many occurrences, during this you can be thrown around like a rag-doll and you're quickly able to lose a lot more health than the initial hit. It certainly makes you become cautious of your surroundings, but its a little frustrating that a good game can be over in a blink of an eye. Despite those, I'd highly recommend this game, especially for those who are fans of platformers and/or rogue-like mechanics. In fact, Spelunky is probably the best mash up of these two genres.
