Sam Foxall from VGU writes: 'I’m mowing down hordes of cute, walking bullets with a gun that fires junk mail, while a turtle in a space helmet provides covering fire as I frantically roll from upturned table to stone pillar. I’ve only got a few seconds before the next torrent of bullets destroys my last bit of cover and I’ve got to face the wave of smiling artillery without getting hit by a single shot or else it’s back to the start with me. These moments of pure lunacy happen at least three times a level while playing Enter the Gungeon, a bullet hell dungeon crawler from Dodge Roll Games which sees Gungeoneers flipping and dodging through thousands of multi-coloured bullets to find a Gun which can kill the Past.'
With the industry filled with oversaturated FPS titles doing little in the name of innovation, indie developers show us what true games are.
I still have to finish Little Nightmares, but so far the art is enjoyable and the environmental storytelling is entertaining.
IGN : Ask three different video game fans to define what a “Roguelike” is, and chances are, you’re likely to get three very different responses: One might say "Oh yeah, those are like that game with the sexy greek gods!" Another might reply "No, you idiot, Hades is a Rogue-LITE. A roguelike is a game like Spelunky." And another still might slam their hands on the table and shout, "The reason why they're called rogueLIKES is because they're LIKE the 1980s dungeon crawler rogue. None of those games are roguelikes at all!"
I’ll have to agree with a comment below that Binding of Isaac is my top, but thank you for 3 recommendations that I’ve never heard of to appease my addiction. @atom666, I’ll try and see what Hades is all about as welll ☺️
My daughter and I had a blast with Rogue Legacy - our favorite by far.
We also enjoyed Undermine which I didn't see make this list unfortunately.
To me Binding of Isaac is the GOAT. No two runs in that game feel the same. The unlimited combinations of item synergies is still something no game has been able to match.
Microsoft has added touch control support for several Xbox Game Pass titles for Android, including The Walking Dead and Enter the Gungeon.
I watched a let's play by the developers and truly loved it, but I played Hotline Miami 2 just short time ago and I can't handle another bullet hell game right now. I really hope that game sells well!
Another review manages to squeeze itself out before the review embargo lifts.
