[Vendetta21]

oldschool X number of lives and you restart game where you get a simple class and they get a mix of choices in terms of power-ups which are all pretty interesting, build synergy-etc. powers and power-ups are minimalist but use a couple of different elements "combos" and "timers" to make mastering the use really complex


game is unforgiving and also reminiscent of games like super smash TV for the SNES and other similar stuff. has zelda elements in dungeon puzzles and keys as a finite economic resource for crawling the dungeon + unknowns about which doors are useful to unlock and which not. difficulty starts off mild and then curves upward like a yoga pose. each act is one big labyrinthine dungeon that you crawl back and forth through.

looks like it'd be fun to do hard mode with others and cry together as you realize you are bad at everything and life is tough. let me know if you picked this game up during the winter sale or if you'd already owned it and we'll connect on steam for multiplayer sometime.
