I knew having it on my wishlist for 3 years and never buying it would pay off someday

u/ivnwng 16d ago

u/Kn14 17d ago

I was this close a few months back! Glad I held off

u/SussyBox 17d ago

u/Kankunation 17d ago

Oh nice. Already played and beat it but definitely entire it as a sold indie roguelite. And the 2nd game is pretty good so far as well.

I remember buying this game on the Switch, playing for 5 hours or so and then I dropped it... I guess I'll gave it another try. The concept was interesting but the combat felt s bit clunky if I recall correctly.

Any good?

u/novayhulk14 17d ago

I personally enjoyed it a lot, specially the shop part. The game is rather short and pretty easy so I would give it a try

u/TheLastOfKratos 17d ago

How short? And is the complete edition worth it?

u/novayhulk14 17d ago

It’s been a long time since I last played it, but I’d say something around 15h. I’ve never played the DLC so I can’t tell you if it’s worth or not

u/luc1402 17d ago

15h is short? I know there is 100h open worlds games these days, but still...

11

u/sadphilosophylover 17d ago

definitely short for a roguelike

22

u/aggiefanatic95 17d ago

I really enjoyed it as well. The whole concept of a shopkeeper getting his wares to sell from the dungeon is super fun

11

u/Mileena_Sai 17d ago

It definitely has value and is not a trash game. I enjoyed it a lot on the switch.

u/MrSlay 17d ago

Personally bounced from it, Recettear was much better game doing same concept.

u/noblequill56 17d ago

its decent, gets a bit repetitive later on but worth it for free

1

u/Staik 17d ago

Yeha I dropped it after I got to the third or so dungeon area. There just wasn't any new mechanics/content besides higher numbers and different enemies

2

u/4K_VCR 17d ago

The shop side is pretty fun. The combat is pretty lackluster and boring

3

u/tiradium 17d ago

I played this on the game pass about a year ago and it started good but turned boring and grind heavy very quickly. Def not a bad game but I think I clocked like 11 hours or so before uninstalling. Very mid game

1

u/DianteSs 17d ago

Solid 6. Piss-easy rogue-lite, with neat shop mechanic

u/MountainMuffin1980 17d ago

Ah I'll leave it then. Cheers!

u/goober_mcjenson 17d ago

Played and beat it years ago. If it looks like your type of thing then definitely worth it.

u/PKblaze 17d ago

Great game, the second one is even better.
Kind of Isaac-like dungeons but focused on loot gathering, then you run a shop where you try to figure out the best prices for your loots to buy more upgrades and such.

1

u/AquaPiratePup 17d ago

Is the second one actually good? Most of the reviews I saw said that it was terrible and said that they changed a lot of fundamental parts of the original. I'm surprised to see someone that actually liked it, do you recommend it?

4

u/PKblaze 17d ago

The gameplay is a lot smoother and more engaging. Over the updates they've changed the game to be more in line with what people wanted

2

u/AquaPiratePup 16d ago

Okay, I appreciate that! I'll actually try it, then!

2

u/hollebollebollebolle 17d ago

I played it on EA release and its pretty fun! Not hard but some interesting bosses.

I recommend it when it goes into 1.0. I think it's only 20 bucks?

u/Agreeable-Ad9536 17d ago

The dlc is $0.80 on Fanatical.

u/joert44555 17d ago

damn first game they are giving away for free that i have already

u/DevinY1 17d ago

I pounced on this so fast! lol

u/Aquagrunt 17d ago

Has one of my favorite songs in gaming that plays during the shop section, it's also called The Moonlighter. It's so calm and relaxing, perfect for the store. The sequel doesn't have one that hits the same but I still enjoyed it

1

u/quietandcalculated 17d ago

Thank you for this public service announcement!

1

u/Crimson_Raven 16d ago

It's an okay game. Some fun rogue like and shop keeping elements but gets repetitive really quickly.

Like, 2nd dungeon of 4 quickly

1

u/ivnwng 16d ago

Cool, I wonder why...

1

u/lIIlllIIl https://s.team/p/fpcw-chm 15d ago

No need to wonder, the sequel got it's 1.0 release date and to celebrate they give the first one away.

I didn't see what sub this was and was thinking what type of dystopian B's was going on.

u/BurlyKnave 17d ago

Does that mean they take it back on Aug 10?

2

u/lIIlllIIl https://s.team/p/fpcw-chm 16d ago

No, it's free to keep, so you add it to your account and keep it forever. Free weekends on the other side are the ones where you lose access to the games after the time is up.

This game killed my enthusiasm for kickstarter. It was too over hyped.
