Upgraded my weapon and that caused a bug where literally all of my attacks became non-existent so I lost the run... FUCK. THAT.
yet another rogue lite sh*t
I give a... three!
Um jogo indie inspirado em Skul com foco em sua gameplay fluida e frenética, uma pixel arte com ótimas animações que torna o jogo mais satisfatório, uma quantidade consideravelmente grande de inimigos diversos ao longo de seus níveis, uma dificuldade progressiva e na medida correta, um jogo para de divertir por inúmeras horas graças ao seu grande fator de replay.
This game is currently in the Humble Choice for December 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before January 3th, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A rogue-lite inspired by Hades.
Blade Assault starts with a short intro before the player is cast down to the slums and rescued. From there, players will attempt to climb up to get their revenge and are usually tossed back to the slums each time they die. Blade Assault wears its influences on its sleeves. It doesn’t hide the fact that a lot of the systems are inspired by Hades and this works well.
The problem is it misses a couple of important points. Blade Assault’s story is lacking, so most pickups in the game are just that, rather than chances to talk to the gods in Hades. In addition, the sound design is weak, and the music in the game lets down the action and combat.
Pick this up if you need another rogue-lite, or if you buy the bundle. The combat is satisfying here, but so many gameplay systems just made me think how Hades was a better package, or Dead Cells was more polished. There’s nothing bad here, but it’s also lacking anything that could make this title stand out.
