Here is the review.

The Good
-Accessible yet challenging

-Compelling sense of progression 

-Good balance of nostalgia and modern design 

-Classes allow for different play styles 

-Randomized character traits add diversity and a silly appeal. 


The Bad
 -No real variety in melee weaponry

 

Superb game, personal score is actually 9.0 from me so it flopped by my standards. :P

I recommend you all keep your eye on it during the Steam summer sale this Thu.

Looks like another game that gets by simply because it gets people looking at it through nostalgia glasses.

Gargus

Or because its fun and offers a good value for what you pay?

Just because a game is 2d and doesn't have cutting edge graphics doesn't mean its all about nostalgia.

I'd personally give it a 7.5, I was hoping for it to be more along the lines of binding of isaac, also the level designs are so samey, they just change the skin out and occasionally drop you into a bullshit situation which can be avoided with the proper build but it consists largely of trial and error.

There's a large variety of completely useless traits, I realize that might be endearing to some, but for me it's a negative.

Anytime I got an heir named Lady Shanoa or Sir Jarvan (one of my favorite heroes from League of Legends) I always went super try hard and I died a little inside every time I got them killed.

Until Lady Shanoa the XII and Sir Jarvan the XIV came by.

Edit: Lady Chun Li was also pretty lolzy.

From the looks of it and the comments, (it being like castelvania) the game looks cool.  To lazy to read the review.  The number 8.5 looks cool.  I'll probly pick it up and stream it on twitch tv sometime for the hell of it.   Happy Gaming.

It looks cool but it seems really difficult

BPoole96
It is really difficult, I bought it off GOG.com a month ago. I am enjoying Unepic way more, which is a similar style but more slower paced, and has weapons and armor and humor. There was even a joke in the game about buying a ps3 when the character swiped gold from a huge horde (and set off a trap that killed him.).

I've never played a Castlevania game or anything like this before and I've put 16 hours into it so far, it's just a fun game, but I don't expect Gargus the Negative to understand what fun is.

I dont give a sh!t in what site are we on right now. Counting only one opinion (especially coming from an idiot known to go against the tide) when the vast majority is praising the game left and right is idiotic in any place

But then again, using any opinion other than your own to judge a game is also dumb as fvck.  But SW meta game is da SW meta game.
