Needs A Rolling Start HIGH Ricocheting through the last 20% of “Weave” with sparks flying en route to a record time. LOW The overly technical and slow “Palm” track. WTF It is insanely goofy that the sharpest turns are the easiest. The simplest kind of racing comes in the form […]
HIGH An extremely satisfying gameplay loop.
LOW It’s not very obvious on how to “win” a run.
WTF Body horror… in my roguelite?
HIGH Nuking the dragon with an array of archers before it torched anything.
LOW Wounded swordsmen taking space in my army without ever returning to action.
WTF This is obviously a fantasy world, yet there are no fantasy buildings or units?
HIGH Adorable slimes and fantastical environments.
LOW The frustrating progression system.
WTF The ethics of my “ranch”.
HIGH Robust roots meet new ideas!
LOW The artificial Intelligence is not so intelligent!
WTF The phrase “balance is key” comes to mind.
HIGH Engrossing building/optimization. Crispy isometric graphics.
LOW Writing is uninspired. Save system is cumbersome, UI cruft abounds.
WTF Carrying a dozen tennis balls and 50 heatsinks in my inventory like a freak.
HIGH Greatly improved on-the-field presentation. Added features for Franchise mode
LOW Still suffers from wonky AI and bugs.
WTF Why did my center line up as a receiver?
HIGH The Dark Grip power up is a blast.
LOW It’s a roguelike, so expect some runs to be complete write-offs.
WTF Dashing forwards doubles as a deflecting move?
HIGH Great production values and an ’80s MTV aesthetic.
LOW Writing that reminded me how old I am.
WTF Classic channel scrambling from the ’80s and ’90s is here, too.
