unlabelledView post →The game seems entertaining enough, but it is a demo masquerading as a full game. I do not appreciate being misled. Edit: In the interest of fairness, it does appear that the description of the game does specify that this game is a lite version of Aura of Worlds, both at the end of the first paragraph and at the end of the description. That being said, it is easy to miss a single line - giving a demo a different title rather than just naming it "Aura of Worlds Demo" or "Aura of Worlds Lite"…

unlabelledView post →Reminds me of vagante. Decent gameplay and design, though I feel like the palette is quite bright and colorful for the rather old and menacing setting.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the physics interactions (even if I don't understand half of them) - there's so much going on, I'm picking up new info and skills each run. If you're on fire you can roll to put it out (or jump in water) or probably 5x other things. The weapon/ability unlocks come thick and fast in the beginning and you can also save villagers which get added to your town AKA Terraria. I unlocked an artifact and it shows near the starter portal but I have no idea what it does as yet (hopefully…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good sense of strike for crushing enemies. a very solid metroidvania experience since hollow knight, dead cells, and nine sols. i have to try aura of worlds later.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My friend who I play CS2 with said if I post a review on Rogue Worlds and it gets to 50 likes and 30 Awards that he will buy me a RTX 4060 and 1 Kilo of Lemon . So im just gonna leave this here. Help a brotha
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The gameplay is super addicting and felt like a mix of Terraria, Noita and Spelunky. The more you play the more weapons, starter perks and upgrades you can unlock to truly play the game your way! It also has destructible terrain for the "No Nonsense" types. Just looking at the trailer you can see the kind of shenanigans you can get up to! It's a game where the answer to "Can I..." is usually "Yes." But this is simply a teaser, there's tons more in the full game "Aura of Worlds" which I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A standalone demo of "Aura of Worlds". Despite being a demo, it have decent amount of content, worth the time and it introduce the main game well- not to mention that the progress in this game seems can be carried to main game if you decided to buy it after try. It have standalone achievements as well, but they are mostly just the same as the main game's counterpart. Though it can be reach to high completetion percent with no worries.

unlabelledView post →This game is fun and addictive, and I'm excited to see that they've added more quick-slots and other content in the recent update! Keep up the good work!! Next time I get a few extra bucks I will definitely be buying Aura of Worlds, the premium version.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really generous free intro to the premium version of the game, Aura of Worlds. Very challenging, but never feels unfair. Each time I play through I make it a little further, or get to the boss with more health and equipment than I did the time before. It's very rewarding to see yourself making progress in this game. Using different weapons/abilities that you unlocked between games adds a whole new flavour to the way a level (which is never the same twice) can be played.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun and well-made game, quick thinking and reflexes are very important here, as well as choosing your build, so it's not just mashing buttons, but you have to think in order to be able to succeed. Absolutely recommended
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very solid game being free and all. Has alot of character to it and its a banger.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No matter what the devs say. This is not a good inde game that is free. This is a demo masquerading as a full game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been following this game, and Aura of worlds, since it's very early days, and am happy to see it come so far. Great style, smooth movement and really nice gameplay and progression. This version has so much to do, well worth trying out, and then picking up the full game after.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Grappling hooktastic!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a great game but it seems to be missing half. I guess you can purchase the other half.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why don't they let the player choose the loadout at the start? Aside from that it's good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far a good game, good to see a good inde game that is free, I saw Aura of Worlds and I don't think this game is a game. More like a unlisted demo. I HATE THESE TYPE OF GAME
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game grew on me even though i'm not great with this type of platform games. I wasn't able to read all of the instructions in time. I had random white flicker on my screen when playing the game. I found having different arsenal were great and the art style is fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is quite fun! this is too good to be considered a free demo. check out the full game "Aura of Worlds" to support the Devs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good combat interresting variety of utility tools/spells which are limited but easily manageable great demo. skill based, fast paste roguelite dungeon crawler, unless you play on easy like a little kitten.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rogue Worlds. I have an uneasy relationship with Rogue-lites. I'm the kind of person that checks if games will be easy enough for them to get into. I refuse to buy DLC for Dead Cells for anything beyond the beginner easier content. My eyes don't track a lot of moving things all too well. I need that moment to take a breath and concentrate on what's going on with the screen. I suffer nervous system issues that make even some turn based games difficult to play depending on how the buttons…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A well-polished, challenging game that has more variety than you would think. Would recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun roguelite platformer. Really enjoy the art style and music. Can definitely see myself forgetting to not continue playing after a run.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty cool free roguelike. Kind of the Spelunky for the poor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite a fun game, but why in the name of the three moons is it labeled as a metroidvania. Its not.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Actually a decent game with its own mechanics and mobs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is good not sure if anyone else plays it though
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a home game for me so I cant not recomend it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a really neat game that has a lot going on. Worth checking out!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome procedural platformer! Super deep mechanics with a good sense of variety, weapons and abilities actually make each loadout feel quite different. Blink teleport and grappling hook make for some precise and speedy traversal, especially when combined. Nice to see some story elements with a sense of progression in terms of unlockables and meeting new characters in each area. Keen to see what further updates the devs cook up in the full version
