Amazing blend of the tactics and roguelite genres. Every run feels unique, and I am constantly joyfully finding new interactions and ways to play with this amazing puzzle. Slap a top tier soundtrack on top of this all, and you have a must play for anybody even remotely interested in these genres.

Better than any mario party game, even mario party 3.

All the minigames are great, there are no stinkers at all, the polish is there, and the multiplayer works so well. A lot of block stealing though.

Amazing action roguelite game. Somehow even more polished and fleshed out than the first, with a deeper combat system and even more locations than the first to boot! The only regression is the dialog isn't as witty as the first, and it takes itself a bit more seriously for something where the grand story is less important than the individual conversations and growing connections with the characters.

However, the core gameplay loop and combat is so compelling, it will keep you going back again and again for more types of runs, and the scaling of power and build progression feels absolutely perfect. Truly what to strive for in combat for any action roguelite.

One of the best tactics games, put into a short roguelike-ish package. Amazing challenging but fair combat, and very replayable.

Amazing lawn defense game, cute world with great music and just all around solid gameplay

Nokia push box game, but good.

This game at its heart is a puzzle game, that thinks its something else. Some great puzzles, maybe even a lot of them. However, everything else bogs it down too much.

The combat feels tacked on; it is easy, despite combat upgrades being a lot of what you can buy in the game. Also, it is far too frequent: the last thing I want when I'm in the middle of a puzzle is having to stop what I'm doing to fight more of the same repetitive mobs.

The puzzles often are cool at their core, though as I played more and more felt like a key part of a lot of them was "run around the area until you notice the one bit of the puzzle you were missing". Also, so many of the puzzles or areas out of reach seem solvable, but after wasting a lot of time, you will only realize hours later that so many things that are shown to you are not solvable until far later in the game with more key items.

This leads to the downside of skipping more puzzles, because why waste time when your time might be in vain: But then that leads to running into a wall near the end of the game where many coins are needed, leading to needing to backtrack to get coins here and there and everywhere until you get enough to proceed.

This review sounds harsh: for the first several hours I was in love with the game, it really does have great puzzles. If you just want more puzzles no matter the cost, this game could be good if you are willing to deal with everything else you have to deal with to get to solve those puzzles, but in general I'd recommend other better puzzle games first.

This game is an absolute masterpiece. It takes the rogue-lite genre, integrates the gameplay loop itself into the storytelling narrative, and makes it a blast to play again and again, expanding on the genre itself all while hitting every aspect of the game out of the park: Combat, Soundtrack, Art Direction, Character Deveopment, Polish, literally every aspect is well done, and even as somebody that usually doesn't like rogue-lites, I can say this game is a must-play.

A very charming puzzle game with amazing writing, puzzles that are both interesting, fun, and enjoyable, and a great theme that is fully embraced by the game.

This game is an amazing multiplayer dogfighting experience. Flying feels extremely fun, especially because it has a high skill ceiling and there is so much you can do to optimize something better, and so many options for things to be doing to be more efficient. It really makes you feel like you're in a star wars movie flying a real ship, and the gameplay that comes form that is very fun as well.
