This game is not bad. personally i didn\u00b4t like it. Feels too repetetive and slow. I can\u00b4t really say that much about it because it\u00b4s not that much content in the game. I might play it again if i don\u00b4t have anything to do but only for a short amount of time. if you are considering on buying this game look at some gamplay first. 4.8\/10. When the game released I was having issues remapping the controls and after posting about it on the forum I was contacted within the hour by one of the developers who genuinely seemed concerned about the issue. Not even a day later the game was updated and I was able to remap controls successfully. Mapping the diagonals directly isn't quite working yet, but it will accept UP + LEFT input as a northwest ( Using a Xbox 360 controller). Regardless, I was still impressed by how fast the developers responded to feedback. It wasn't until now that I realized that the numpad looks like the most comfortable way to play at the moment; I should have known better coming from an ADOM, Angband, Brogue, ect. background.The game itself is somewhat simple but difficult roguelite that I felt had a good amount of content for what it was worth. The combat is a little bit on the clunkier side but I got used to it after a little bit and being able to actually defeat some of the more difficult enemies was satisfying.I'd highly recommend playing Practice before actually diving in to the main game because it tells you what the controls are, otherwise you'll have to go in with trial and error or just looking at the menu.I'm also a big fan of the classical guitar main track.. Very difficult, not imbalanced, requires a bit of hard work and dedication. Overall very fun way to pass time.. When I first saw this game, I avoided picking it up because of a certain highly-rated review that described it as overly difficult and unfinished. Most of us rogue-lite fans have played amateurish games before and been disappointed, so it was easy to write this one off as yet another project where the developer released an abortive attempt once they'd become fed up with working on it. I let the game linger on my wishlist for at least a year, and probably several, before finally deciding to take the chance. And I couldn't be happier that I got it. It isn't one of the best games of all time, but it's very fun and unique, and the fun \/ price ratio is extremely high. Far from being impossible, it's actually fairly easy to beat, especially with certain characters and runes. My first victory was after maybe around an hour of playing, and I'm not an expert gamer. But you can't rush into things haphazardly, and you also have to learn to adapt to a system that is unconventional in many different ways. At it's heart, the gameplay and skill types are quite similar to old NES-era games. This is a game about memorizing enemy attack patterns, developing appropriate responses, learning the game's system (player attacks, items), and repeated precision control. Many action roguelites have arenas or boss rushes so that players can practice without having to work their way through a run, but in VoTS, you can practice in an arena against regular enemies. And it's a good idea to do so, since everything is deadly here. But although everything is deadly, there is also always a strategy, and often it requires thinking outside the box, or taking approaches that you wouldn't normally use. For most bosses, you want to be decked out with the right items before you go after them, so the order that you proceed in a run depends on what you find along the way. Because of the soul system, you do tend to spend less time exploring, unlike most similar games. What makes this game so fun is learning how to handle challenges that at first seem overwhelming. You start out learning to do basic things like time your attacks and dash-retreat, but this quickly becomes insufficient, and if you expect to be able to get far in a run with such basic techniques, then you'll fail repeatedly and get frustrated. Instead, you have to learn when to attack and when to ignore enemies, when to spam wand attacks and when to use invisibility to avoid encounters, what bosses to go after based on your items, and what to expect from dungeon layouts. To me, perhaps the highest joy of gaming is being confronted with a new system, and gradually learning how to use it and accomplish your goals. By that standard, VoTS is an _excellent_ game. This game _does_ come across as low-production. The interface is clunky and sometimes awkward, and it's missing a lot of polish. Most of the time when I kill the final boss, it takes me a minute to determine whether I won or lost, since there's just a small text popup either way. There is no story, no tutorial, and I didn't see any way to tell how many coins runes cost. But the game has an enormous amount of heart, and the core mechanics are elegantly designed. In some ways, VoTS reminds me of some ARCEN games. This is a game for players who enjoy learning new systems and won't qq when traditional approaches prove ineffective. I definitely recommend it.. While I personally had fun with the game for the short while I have been hooked to it, I cannot recommend it. There are a few reasons for this, such as:\u2022 The enemies are either too easy or too hard to kill. There is a general lack of balance in this regard. For example outside of the Sand Zone they are swarming the screen so much, that barely anything will save you. \u2022 The vast majority of items are useless. After a few hours of getting used to the game I found, that all I need is rocks and\/or other throwing weapons. Magic items, Scrolls and Melee weapons are outclassed by them. Since almost everything dies in one hit, ranged combat is far more powerful than melee. Some of the spells are good, but you get so much to throw, that they are unnecessary.\u2022 The runes are either too strong or simply useless. Again, a balancing issue. Why would I waste slots for a key (opens chests) when I can simply kick a chest open by default? \u2022 It is full of bugs. I encountered numerous fatal errors, multiple looted coins always count as one, chests are sometimes unreachable, etc. Now I mentioned the things, that may keep you away from purchasing and playing the game, but there are some redeeming factors - they are just a bit overshadowed by the negatives.I did enjoy the gameplay for what its worth. Reaching the end of a chapter felt good, mostly because it is a testament of one's dodging skills mixed with a bit of tactic. It is challenging, and trying to clear all zones in the same round is pretty difficult. Since it is a roguelike, you start fresh after each death, and your loot is randomized. The rune system is also a good general idea, I just wish it was a bit better balanced.
