The Legend of Tartar

Smooth, easy, and fun! I like the way this game handles gameplay loops, they do it well. Levels are easy if you choose and time the right skills. If levels do get tough, you can bide your time with periodical rewards or various challenges serving as side quests almost, but with rewards that can help your character's overall ability. I'm excited for updates but also scared that it might add potentially game disrupting changes. But all in all, the game is pretty solid right now.

Looks good, it's well made, but the music feels wrong for the genre, and the gameplay loop gets old real quick. I don't feel like any of the things and choices you do matter, you win all the time. There is no strategy to it even though all the elements are in place for there to be. Not once has any of the enemies given me any type of challenge in a fight, even the bosses are wimps that can't even damage you. It's a brainless game. May as well go watch a manga.

Really disappointed about the skills upgrade system. Just increasing damage instead of finding some other factor on most skills is boring. The upgrade options are okay but it always feels like a clear winner. Choosing different skills seems less unique than other roguelikes. There really is no strategy to this one I feel like I can choose just about anything and win. The artwork and everything else Is awesome, and that's what makes it disappointing, I would have loved this game
