It was great but this approach is arguably better. Dying over and over so that we could make incremental gains. You feel more of a connection to the game world when you get to learn its layout properly and, for us, this gives the game more substance where as in Rogue LegacyВ we often felt we were brute-forcing the game. Now, we loved Rogue Legacy a lot but this approach is better. Instead weвЂ™ve got a well thought out layout that uses more of a Metroidvania kind of approach with you needing to go back to old areas once youвЂ™ve got the ability to unlock certain doors or clear previously unsurmountable obstacles. AstalonВ has a similar set up to that except that the levels arenвЂ™t randomly generated. So if youвЂ™re getting Rogue Legacy flashbacks, that makes sense. Some arenвЂ™t too clear (thereвЂ™s one about Inner Fire that weвЂ™ve purchased and arenвЂ™t sure what it does) but thereвЂ™s a good range of upgrades here. This can be to such stats as health points, damage and attack speed but there is a wider array of upgrades too including a handy ability to hoover up orbs, show useful information on the map and others.

When you die, you get to start again and you get to spend any orbs (the gameвЂ™s currency) on upgrades. That is where the roguelike aspect of the game comes into play. Death comes quickly and easily but the trio have made a deal with Epimetheus, the Titan of Death, who grants them infinite retries (for the price of their souls). They need to conquer this tower but when we said it was dangerous, we meant it.

Three explorers are wandering the desert on a mission to save their town when they find the Tower of Serpents, a very dangerous structure packed full of traps and monsters.

Set in a dying, post-apocalyptic world the game comes with its fair share of lore.
