Oof... while Rerun is a lightly entertaining little game (and I am putting a heavy emphasis on little,) it does not live up to its name. To put it simply, it is completely lackluster and a run-of-the-mill roguelike. The game lacks depth, variety, and challenge. Even though there are several characters (mostly unlockable) to choose from, their abilities are mundane. You get to form a team of two characters at the start of each run, but there are no advantages or disadvantages to creating specific pairings, so you basically pick any two. Progression through the dungeon has you navigating an overly simplified path of stages that don't have any drawbacks and offer uninteresting rewards. Each stage is a little square map with a spattering of the same cookie-cutter enemies and obstacles. I was expecting at least several hours of gameplay that would require multiple runs before even reaching the boss. I ended up beating the game in 2-hours while watching TV and eating dinner. In the end, I feel disappointed and have no desire to play another run.
I would not pay the sticker price of $10 for this game or even the intro sale price of $8. It lacks serious quality in gameplay and challenge, which are the foundation for a good roguelike.
