    it needs a lot of fixing and polish, but the game is gorgeous and the combat is fun and fast I'd keep an eye on this one

    At some point in our lives, we've all asked the question, "What would NieR: Automata be like if it were a pixel style roguelike with catgirl maids?" and this game answers that question. It's awesome. It's still in early access, and I'm looking forward to seeing more content, but it's great so far, and the combat is fun, engaging, and varied depending on your weapon loadout and abilities.

    A totally wonderful game. Snappy controls, speedy moves, a bunch of fun weapons, and just the cutest catgirls around. No really, the cat girls are all based on real studio cats, and have pics of said cats in the game. I've beaten the game up to pure blood 3... and have zero idea what the plot is, but I'm having tons of fun fighting all these weird meca and mecha girls to see what happens next.

    Gameplay is good and responsive, the visuals are great and really impressive for the first game made for this team so I highly recommend giving it a go. The freedom to pick weapons with the randomizer at the beginning and having options later in the run is great as well with rebuilding weapons you chose to keep in the safe/shop zones is what makes the game feel great to play.

    Poetry of Blood: Eclipse is an 2D action roguelike. Its in current state of early access you play as a decently customizable character, going through stage after stage of waves of enemies until you reach boss fights and continue to progress. The replayability in this game comes heavily from the weapons, their affixes, and the many build paths you can go into through upgrades that can scale with similar, synergistic, or same class upgrades. You can feel very powerful by playing and choosing…

    It's a good experience, even despite all the flaws that come from early access. Visuals are pretty cute and good, and gameplay itself doesn't feel bad at all. There are huge problems with translation (that gonna be fixed hopefully) that make it extremely difficult to understand the plot or any lore at all and also make reading perk descriptions really tiring, but not impossible. I can play and enjoy the game, but I have no clue what's the point of stuff like maid cafe (it has a maid cafe!) or…

    Poetry of Blood: Eclipse is a fast, stylish, and unforgiving action roguelite that sets out to combine fluid platforming with precision-based melee combat in a bleak, anime-inspired world. Developed by ZeroGameStudio and published by NPC Entertainment, it throws players into a post-apocalyptic landscape where death, rebirth, and relentless combat form the backbone of progression. Rather than relying on narrative exposition or elaborate storytelling, the game builds its identity around movement,…

    Lot's of potential. Biggest gripe so far is that I can't remap my ps4 controller, everytime I try to change anything it counts as pressing a button, for example if I change sub weapon to circle the game closes the menu, or dodge to R1 the game switches to the next options menu, hopefully it get's fixed soon.

    Another super exciting roguelike game. One of its biggest strengths is that you can randomly choose the weapon you like and start playing right away. In this completed run, I used a gun as my main weapon and grenades as my secondary. The player character seems to be a robot (I think). The game does have a story, but I didn’t really read it. The systems are incredibly satisfying, and the combat is intense and fun. Gameplay progresses room by room in a very easy-to-understand way. The game feels…

    What happens when a new studio takes a stab at making an anime-fueled hack & slash rogue-like? You get an interesting mix between the style of Dead Cells with regards to weapon variety and equipment, the feel of something similar to old school Risk of Rain pixel art, and the game play of Blazblue Entropy Effect for your moment to moment combat and flow. And copious amounts of cat girls. The part that grabbed me initially was the mix between anime aesthetics and pixel art. It's something that…

    Very fun and very much worth the price when I picked it up (1.2CAD) Not sure about the price now, but I've had so much fun that even with the current price, (20CAD) would be worth about 10h of fun per dollar. 100% recommended Very fun roguelike, pretty characters, good pixel animations, and friendly devs in the discord. Each run can feel as same same or different as you like.

    The game is playable and rather satisfying but I will wait for the full release before diving into it as I have too much ongoing games. For the parts I would like to see polished, the power-up screen could use some love, mainly clarity on dps increases and showing what we already have that synergise with the displayed options. These two changes should make the decision making quicker which is always appreciated. I would also rework the chakrams as it is the only weapon I can't see a situation…

    this roguelite has good animations and flashy effects, but aside from that some weapons feel too boring to play. as in the actual sequence of buttons you must press to use the weapon moves. upgrades can change what kind of passive effects your attacks do, but the attacks themselves are a bit too simple for a 2d action game. for example multiple ranged weapons are just "hold button to continuously deal damage/charge". i don't know if there are upgrades that actually change how the weapons are…

    It's a really fun and engagin roguelike with tons of weapons and different buffs so that you can make every run different. Enemy variety is good and it's really punishing for how simple it looks at first impact. It doesn't really hold your hand and it might take a bit of time to understand how some of these effects work. You go from room to room, clear, and go forward while choosing between 2 possible rooms/rewards after. It definitely needs quite some polishing mosty in its structure, but…

    Poetry of Blood: Eclipse is a fun pixel rogue lite game with variety of weapons, unlocks, and enemies. Currently still in Early Access, but adds content more frequent than other games. Give it a shot if you enjoy these kinds of games.

    Ok, no, seriously, why melee weapons in this game has cool mechancis but suck so much? Fighting boss with ranged weapons takes a minute or two depending on the build, but every melee weapon I got my hands on so far is painfully lacks DPS.
