These have their own gimmicks and patterns but are actually easier than the levels as you only have to keep track of one pretty predictable thing, rather than lots of different ones. The shop also doesn’t give you this information, so you think you’re buying a cool ability and it may not even activate.Įvery ten floors is a boss fight. You gain more shards as it gets higher too so I understand it as a concept but linking the modifiers to it seems to punish new, worse players (the ones who need the help) whilst rewarding those that are probably good enough to not need them so badly. It’s an odd addition for a turn based game as it drains in real time, not per move you make, so it forces you to be quick and aggressive. It will rise through levels but if you go too long without attacking or take a hit then the level will go down. Focus is a bar that fills as you attack and defeat enemies. Similarly with the modifiers there are some that are very useful, like the shield, and then there are some that just seem pointless and they don’t level up.Ī lot actually don’t become active unless you have enough focus too. There are even some that have a chance to kill you instantly, which is bizarre with the amount of time a run takes and I’ve been on the wrong end of luck pretty much each time I’ve experimented with them. This will carry over across playthroughs so it’s worth doing but I often found myself creating situations to use them, rather than them being useful to the situation naturally. The skills are actually very weak and you’ll often be better served doing the basics well but if you do find situations to use the skills then they will gain experience and eventually level up. The skills can do things like let you attack from a distance or heal some damage whilst modifiers can let you gain a shield or do more damage. Modifiers are passive whilst skills need to be activated using charges which you gain by moving without dashing. On the fifth floor of each set of ten you’ll enter a shop where you can spend shards you gain from defeating enemies. Choosing which direction to move in, whether to move one square or two whilst prioritising enemies and avoiding hazards is the main meat of the game. There are multiple enemies of different varieties who move by their own rules so keeping track of everyone is paramount to getting through alive.įloor tiles can have special properties like being slippery or activating a turret which you must also keep track of though enemies can fall foul to them as well and often will. Early doors most enemies have one hit point so it’ll only take one attack to clear them off the board. The idea is that you sync up movement with the enemies so that as you move they will then move into range and you can hit them on the next turn. You only have three hit points so mistakes will add up quickly. If you end up next to an enemy at the end of your turn then you’ll get hit on their go. If you’re next to an enemy and move into them then you will attack them. With each move you make the enemies will then also have their turn. You play on a 7×7 isometric grid and you can move up, down, left and right one space or can dash to move two spaces. It’s a roguelite though, the story is the least of your worries.Īs mentioned in the opening paragraph this is a turn based game and the similarity to Into the Breach comes from the size and shape of the play area. That’s kind of it, though you meet some NPCs randomly during your ascent and they have their own tales to tell. To gain access to his afterlife he must fight his way up a tower and reach the top. Although it has similarities to something like Into the Breach it’s very different to anything I’ve played before. So when Evertried dropped into the PlayStation Country inbox I gladly accepted reviewing duties. I’ve got a taste for roguelite games right now and I also enjoy turn based games.
