  • That's hard to tell anything about that game because I didn't really managed to get into. I tried to spawn a lot of minions at the same time, spawning them in waves. Nothing works, because player dies on first hit and it's hard to avoid mistakes due to dark color palette; FOV, while looks good, doesn't help either. I have ambivalent feelings about that game. It looks good, but isn't clear and readable enough. Basic mechanics is interesting and promising, but the game is unbalanced and therefore it's hard to explore all possibilities. I can't recommend playing 7 Days In Purgatory right now, but I would really like to see upgraded version... Promising project.
  • The concept here is interesting, as the character you play is basically a summoner of sorts. However, the biggest issue here is the difficulty level ramps up far too quickly for any sort of "progression" to take place. I think because of that, I missed out on a lot of the more complex elements of the gameplay that comes down the line, such as the utilization of the loot system. One of the other major issues noticed was the fixed resolution, which may not be conducive for some players' monitors. All that being said, though, I think there's a definite spark of a game here that could be fast-paced, enjoyable and different in the Roguelike sense, it just needs more development time.
