Roguelikes. You either love them or you hate them, there’s no in-between. This sub-genre makes you cringe through a horrifyingly difficult, randomly-generated gauntlet whose final reward is often just a barely tangible virtual bauble. These games are specific in that they make you master what little tools you have at your disposal and then use those tools in all kinds of procedural situations, all of which will very easily take you down. The best thing? It’s perma-death, more often than not. Alas, as horrible as it sounds on paper, rogue-likes are oftentimes deceivingly fun and intense experiences that easily keep you coming back for more. Just take a look at Dungeons of Dredmor or Binding of Isaac. Leap of Fate is a similar game, but one that’s different in many regards. Having recently been released in Early Access, this title is now ready for previewing and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
If you're looking for a challenging game then you can't do much better than a twin-stick roguelike. Leap of Fate has you work through card-based stages in order to uncover the pasts of four fateful heroes so if you're up for it; let's shuffle the deck.
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more.
