I really love when I discover a game I didn't expect at all. I usually follow games news and yet I never heard about this one. Graphics-wise, in the Arabic-Persian(I'm not an expert lol) theme, this might be the most beautiful game I've ever seen.😍 I prefer it to any Assassin's Creed game, or the Prince of Persia ones. (the 3D ones, cos I still love the first 2D Prince of Persia on Super Nintendo XD) I haven't played a long time, but so far I'm also impressed by the procedural generation. Some games use it and eventually all levels feel like boring corridors... Well, this is NOT the case here! I'd say that the procedural generation works even better than in "Immortal Redneck", which I enjoyed too! "Levels" all feel very complex and intricate and offer lots of different paths, a real pleasure! (not sure we can talk about "levels", cos it's just one big city for now, right? Fine by me though, as this city is one of the best I've seen. he he) I almost regret it's a FPS cos it would have been great to explore these levels in a RPG or a stealth game... 🙂 (Funny, I'm reading on destructoid many comments criticizing the procedural generation, but to me it looks great) Controls are great, everything feels fluid and using the whip is a... snap. 😁(sorry) On my side, the game didn't feel very optimized yet. (still an early version) Like, the game was fluid and then suddenly I got "hiccups" and sometimes the screen froze... Maybe it's just my aging GPU... I might be wrong, but there's no "perma-progression", right? It seems to be a "pure" roguelike in this aspect... You might like or dislike this. I'm going to get lots of critics again and "git good" comments, but AGAIN, I feel like this is a veeeeery hard game. 😜 sorryyyyy he he I usually stay alive no more than 5 minutes. lol I hope it'll get balanced out eventually cos some enemies seemed unfair... (also, 4 hearts as energy? really?....Like in "Zelda: A link to the past"? XD) There are a lot of enemies you should just DODGE. I wish there was a "counter" attack or something to push the enemy back (a kick attack, like in Dark Messiah of Might and Magic), cos I don't like dodging. And the whip can stun only some enemies, not all of them. lol I see some comments on Steam comparing it to Dark Souls... I don't know as I never played it, but isn't the combat legendary hard in this game? Well anyway, be ready for a challenge... (again.. sigh lol) Oh, and... look out for traps. LOTS of them. More than enemies. lol😋 Anyway, if you like FPS with some "roguelite" elements, don't hesitate, cos it's certainly one of the best!
