50 of 50 · most liked firstHello! I am Lurils, an artist and game designer, I've released a game called Evertried with our team at Lunic Games, I did a lot of the pixel art in it! But on social media, I usually make cute characters and fanart! I also post in many other places you can find them here: https://linktr.ee/lurils
unlabelledView post →The game currently feels very clunky and slow. You have to wait for a variable number of enemy actions which stops you from developing a rhythm like Necrodancer, but you also get punished for every second you aren't moving. There is a huge lack of information. Where games like Into the Breach give you a lot of visual indicators as to what the enemy is planning, Evertried does not, so a lot of the deaths will be because you didn't know something was going on, rather than a tactical error. It's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: The game is ridiculously overpriced. I must admit, while I personally do not care much about the price tag of a game, I understand that most people do. This game NOT have: - Exceptional graphics - Memorable music - Variety of enemies - Variety of player (characters, skills, attacks) - Variety of maps (everything is the same 7x7 grid, with the occasional position - Voice acting - Interesting, captivating story. So, how come this game costs this much??? Into The Breach is better and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Evertried is a wonderfully crafted and beautiful game; From its design to animation, soundtrack and the refreshing gameplay. The gameplay is really simple yet effective. To sum it up short and sweet, in my perspective it's chess but on a whole another level with skills, special enemy patterns and many other things but it's freaking HARD. you gotta calculate your and the enemies' every single step in order to succeed. All floors are randomly generated, meaning each time you die and restart,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is actually a really neat roguelite. At first I thought the controls weren't that responsive. Then I realized that it pauses so that quick enemy & environment animations can pan out. These animations are important for navigating the enemies & environment hazards. The sprite work + music is top notch too. Really makes it a joy to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UPDATE after june 2022 patch : Game is now finishable (true ending/hard mode), and the "no time focus" mode makes it more consistent. Even if some unexpected event occurs, the game doesn't lock. This said, the true ending is extremely disappointing but the challenge itself is satisfying. UPDATE after Feb 18th patch : Ultra late patch, not fixing the main blocking bug (soft locks on levels with teleporters, so u just can't finish the game in hard mode). I think they don't have the tools to…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fight by moving. Crypt of necrodancer or DROD comes to mind. Worth a look.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game doesn't seem that bad, but I bought this turn-based roguelike game to play it in short sessions. Unfortunately, you have to finish the game in sitting. It really needs a save and quit feature, at least between floors. There is a "suspend run" option on the merchant floor. I tried it once and when I came I had lost my skills.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game is quite good! Despite the negative reviews and claims of its clunkiness (which I did feel at first), I feel it gets much better with one simple change. Make the movement controls QWAS to match the diagonal board you play on. It will make that learning curve much easier to overcome. After that, the game is difficult, but like any rouguelite the more deaths the better you get at it. Once you find your favorite abilities, you can choose to start each run with one and then it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems good, but I just can't graps the controls. It feels kinda clunky.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Evertried plays like an isometric chess game with roguelike elements. You'll go floor to floor dodging traps, learning enemy patterns, and shopping for upgrades like active skills and passive buffs. There's 5 areas with around 10 floors each with just a handful of enemies and bosses. There's an encyclopedia in the game that shows how many skills/passives there are and it seems to be a small amount. It looks pretty and I love the animations and music, however I just honestly feel like after a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wasted Potential. Before getting into why the tittle of this review is the way it is, I'll mention what I actually liked about Evertried. The game looks beautiful. I love anything that uses pixel art and this one does it smoothly. The soundtrack is nice as well, it's repetitive due to the game formula, but it's not irritating. The gameplay is simple yet addictive. I forgot where I read this to give the person proper credit, but it feels like a puzzle game that relies on quick thinking (or…

unlabelledView post →Evertried has all the look and feel of a good game, and I want to like it, but I don't. It's hard to nail down what exactly is wrong with the game from just 2 hours of playtime, but I really can't be asked to play anymore.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great fun game! I backed this on kickstarter and got a chance to play a demo a while back, even then it didn't disappoint :] definitely check it out!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to be honest, this game has a decent amount of bugs. But if you can get passed that, this is one of the most fun, engaging, and addictive roguelikes I've ever played. With a bit more polish this is a contender for my favourite game of all time. I love it so much I just wish it didn't have this many bugs. Please update this game I miss it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've seen tons of people compalin about the difficulty and the lack of check points but I honestly feel they're complaining over nothing. Yea it's hard and you can get softlocked but every time I get hit I could've gotten out of it. My only genuine complaints are that the focus meter that gives you more money also has a timer so strategizing literally makes the game harder. I wish the meter wasn't timed as fast, however you do somewhat get used to it. My only other complaint is that there's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disappointing. I was hoping this was a strategy game like Into The Breach. Instead it's a single-character movement-based puzzle. Mechanics of enemy movement are random and unclear. Controller support is very poor. Crashed only a few levels in.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game seems great so far, only bug i have encountered is that i get an achievement for mastering a skill when i only leveled it up once other than that it's been fun, and i wanna see what all the other skills that have not shown themselves are
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In my opinion this is far too punishing and difficult to progress in for a game with such little going on for it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Please add mouse/click controls.... the keyboard feels clunky as all hell

unlabelledView post →It's close to being a great game. Presentation is fantastic, and the levels are pretty fun. I'll probably even play it after this negative review. There are some key pain points for me though: - The bosses suck. They take too long and they aren't fun. I especially hate the first boss, which offers 0 threat and does nothing except slow you down for far too long. But the next 2 I've found are also tedious. The game would be infinitely better if the first boss (or all bosses) was just removed. -…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Like small tactic puzzles without the drawn out battles (i.e. Into the Breach)? Like common roguelike elements (i.e. perks/skills)? This is absolutely worth your time. After getting over the initial hump of "which way is up?" (seriously, it's a bit confusing) you'll quickly find yourself trying to remember how each enemy moves like pieces on a chess board in order to most efficiently take out the enemies. Doing so increases your focus meter. Many of the abilities don't trigger unless the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Evertried is an isometric stratery roguelite, where you attempt to ascend a tower to reach the afterlife. The story follows you, a dead warrior that doesn't remember anything of their life, attempting to climb the tower to reach the afterlife. You are told by a mysterious character that in cases like yours—warriors that were neither too good nor too bad to belong in either of the afterlives—will have to prove their worth through some sort of rite of combat. Swiftly you are taught how to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game used to softlock all the time, but I still liked playing it. I would say it was a great game but that I didn't recomend it. re instaled it after years this week, and haven't soft locked once! so I recomend it would be cool to see a sequal or something, this game has always scrached an itch in my brain that I can't quite explain, and I feel it has a lot of untaped potential. edit: game still soft locks, it just recognises it now and sends you to the next stage

unlabelledView post →So you just walk on a grid and have to time it so you don't stop next to an enemy or hazard? That's it. That's the game. Was this made in a game jam? It's a little bit too simplistic a premise otherwise.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sure this is an amazing game, I've seen the trailers and some gameplay, and it looks fantastic. Unfortunately, whether it's because of the game itself, or because I play on a Mac and my OS just doesn't support the game for whatever reason, the controls are only responsive for the PC setup, and I can only get a couple buttons to work on my PS4 controller. Now, this wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, I grew up on PC games and am fine with the keyboard. However, the game is ultimately…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun, relaxing game that works fine on Steam Deck with a little settings fiddling. My only query thus far is, why do adjacent enemies sometimes not attack me and sometimes do?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a super simple game that is mechanically easy to learn and fun to play. My only real qualm is that grinding feels both super easy and super essential. You could beat the final boss with base skills, but the upgrades are all so useful and versatile that you probably never would. 8.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's sort of a mix between Into the Breach and One Step From Eden. It's a turnbased roguelike with a short skill set and a variety of hazards. It's not terribly fun, but it's well executed and probably worth ~$10.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's really fun, but softlocks aren't too uncommon, and the balance is extremely questionable in places.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm Really found of the ambiance of this game. It is rare for a game to make me feel so nostalgic about the snes era. The game system is okay, it needs a little bit of time to adjust ( you're moving on a diamon with a directional pad ). My only real complain about this game is : redoing the first boss over and over is really annoying. I don't mind redoing the first few floor but this first boss is nor difficult or interesting and once you beat him once, well you will beat him everytime you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really cool game and a lot of fun. There are a lot of bugs tho. For example, restarting to quickly after previously restarting will results in the enemies not being able to move, damaging the first boss with the bomb will make the boss not return, invisible enemies, and so on. It's really annoying to lose a run to a bug. Other than that, the skills and abilities are fun to use and rewarding to level up. 6/10 for now(saying 5 is the average game), 8/10 when the bugs get fixed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The arts great, love the cute characters and monsters. Got some pretty cool bosses too. The gameplay is tricky, but satisfying to master. If you don’t think before you act you’ll end up dead, but if you think for too long you’ll be losing your focus level. Dealing with enemies as fast as you can increases your focus, which benefits you a whole lot. Having a higher focus level gives your skills extra skills basically. So act fast, but don’t act a fool cause you’ll probably be really dead then.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game has some bugs but devs are working hard on them. Have seen many being fixed in beta and after release. Game is fun as hell and that comes from me who sucks at roguelikes XD Would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes roguelikes or a challenge. Music is also damn good so that is an added bonus too!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's pretty fun! I'm being a roguelike, there is a lot of repitition. It could use a bit more variety. <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not actually the biggest fan of Roguelike games, but Evertried convinced me not only by being very pretty, but also really giving this "Just one more try!" feeling a new meaning! Also the game has relatively little RNG, so 90% of the deaths happening actually are the player's fault. Something I hate and love at the same time! Being able to either try to go as fast as you can or take your time and think your moves through is a great thing, allowing everyone to learn in their own speed. And…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a really good game with wonderful music. But the controls confuse me alot of times.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a good game if your willing to shed 20 bucks for it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mixed review, putting thumbs up since I did have fun for abit. It is pretty decent, maybe even good. But I can't help but feel disappointed. It could have been a great game, there's an amazing base for it, but it didn't turned turn out to be. Meta-progression in this game is kinda bad, you upgrade your skills as you use them, too bad the low level skills is so bad you don't really use want to use them, it's a catch 22. Many players end up just spamming the skill at a corner, which would…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bem divertido e bonito o jogo!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Evertried is, on the surface, a very simple turn-based roguelite. Kill all the things on a floor, move up a floor, rinse repeat. The metaprogression comes in the form of skills leveling up as you use them, persistent between runs. The game gives you all the time in the world to plan your move, but rewards fast decisions with a "focus" multiplier, giving more currency reward and bonuses to your passive skills. The game may not look much, but it really hooks you in. Also worth mentioning is that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic presentation and really fun core gameplay! Could be fleshed out a bit more with greater variety in skills, power-ups, and enemies. Great foundation that could be made amazing with some content updates down the line.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Evertried is a really interesting concept that's brought together in a polished package. The gameplay is easy to pick up and it's really nice to look at. The main point I want to make with this review is that Evertried isn't the game that you'll want to grind out for hours on end. Evertried is really the type of game that you want to pick up, do a few runs, and then come back to it in a few days. There just isn't enough variations in the runs to stay fresh for an elongated period of time. That…
