Heroes of Hammerwatch ⭐️⭐⭐⭐⭐
Co-op Rogue-lite Gamepad35 hours playtime, 20 of 92 achievements (22%)
- well implemented co-op mechanic
- good variation of the enemies
- death is not punishing for making mistake
Cons:
- items in inventory are not sorted in any way
- sprites of dead enemies are sometimes stuck on the map
Conclusion:
Story: No story. Game goal is to climb the tower and kill last boss. No dialogues, diaries etc that could tell some story.
Gameplay: We can chose from few character classes, they behave in different ways, so it does not feel like we only changed how our character looks like. After death gold and ore, that was sent back home, is available to buy permanent upgrades for the city and character. Items are lost. Which is a good balance. We can upgrade our hero, and do not need to start from scratch every single time. I hate this mechanic in full rogue games. Game has isometric view. Works well with gamepad. I played it in co-op and did not see any bugs or bad game mechanics related to it. Gold , exp and loot is individual, so no need to fight for it.
Graphic, music, bugs: Pixel graphis :sob:. Music is bit repetitive, although fits into different floor themes - library, ice land, basement etc. There are no major or minor bugs visible.
Side note:
It’s hard to find cheap FreeSync monitor nowadays xD:
- 27’ + FHD - not only I’d sit way too close to have 27’ monitor, pixels on such low resolution must be terrible
- 24’ + FHD - a lot are on shitty TN panels, those that are on IPS or VA often do not have VESA mount, or have only one digital port
- 24’ + 1440p - fonts may be small, and it would take away GPU power. Using FHD on 1440p monitor makes it a bit blurry
Wonder when they will release RX 3600, so I will be able to compare it to NVidia offer and start to plan PC set up :D
I also have growing list of games to beat, but my laptop will not allow me to play in any of them :sob: That’s painfull.
Those “jump to the next update” buttons/links never work for me (Chrome).
Oh, forgot to update code in this one.
Also it works only on my profile, there are too many posts in the main activity queue.
This function basically looks for certain link on the page, and jumps to it. So it’s not possible to “jump” to something that is not loaded. I added it to be able to navigate more easily on my BLAEO profile.
