gameplay4 positive mentions
story3 negative mentions
  • Unique combination of deckbuilding, roguelike, and resource management mechanics offering deep and varied gameplay with many viable strategies and character options.
  • Well-designed tile-based combo system inspired by Balatro but with original features like water-based prayers, diverse tile suits, and meaningful player choices during runs.
  • High replayability due to extensive content, multiple characters, unlockables, and charmingly complex interactions that reward experimentation despite simple visuals.
  • Some runs can feel heavily dependent on luck with frustrating instances of 'feast or famine' gameplay that can break momentum early or late in the run.
  • Presentation is basic and sometimes rough, with simple 90s pixel art, minimal animations, spelling and UI clarity issues that may detract from overall polish.
  • Certain quality of life and balance issues, such as occasional slow combo resolution, inconsistent effects or random elements, and difficulty spikes post-Djinn encounter.

    The gameplay offers a deep and engaging combination of strategy, roguelike, deckbuilding, and resource management mechanics, with an easy-to-grasp yet complex tile and deck system inspired by Balatro. Its diverse playable characters, unique class cards, and intertwined mechanics create significant replayability and strategic depth. While the game's difficulty and health mechanics may be challenging early on, the well-crafted interplay of mechanics and deckbuilding possibilities delivers a compelling and rewarding experience.

    • “It combines many mechanics from the strategy roguelike deck-building space and adds another resource management on top of it!”
    • “Mechanics are easy to grasp but have depth, with numerous things to unlock over many runs, so replayability seems good too.”
    • “Aliosso’s combat mechanics are easy to understand, but wildly complex in the sheer diversity of ways in which they can be approached.”
    • “Just because mechanics can be added doesn’t mean their addition is always necessarily to the game’s benefit.”
    • “- Health feels too low on the beginning character to experiment with some of the HP risk-reward mechanics.”
    • “While some elements of Aliosso are extremely familiar to anyone who has invested dozens of hours into Balatro (the shop layout and what it has to offer are a near clone of Balatro, as is the general level system for combos), this belies the complexity and sheer diversity of mechanics to be explored in Aliosso.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are simple and primarily 2D pixel art with mostly static backgrounds and minimal animations, evoking a nostalgic 90s aesthetic. While some find them basic or the weakest aspect of the game, others appreciate the polished, charming art style and smooth animations that complement the gameplay well.

    • “I really connected to this in loads of ways, absolutely lovely 90's graphics and animation, truly well thought out gameplay and an absolute ton of depth.”
    • “The animations are really slick and the art style honestly looks great — everything feels polished and satisfying to watch while you play.”
    • “The graphics are straight out of the 90s, with a nostalgic pixel art style.”
    • “The graphics are very simple and perhaps the weakest point of the game. The 2D pixel art backgrounds, mostly desert-inspired, and the characters only serve as a background and are mostly static apart from slight 'breathing' animations and particle effects when scoring tiles and destroying enemies.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game lacks a traditional written story, instead allowing players to create their own narrative through the decisions they make and the paths they choose. Each run tells a unique, player-driven story that shapes the overall experience.

    • “Setting aside the actual contents of the deck, the story each run tells and the decisions the player makes to get there are fundamental to the experience of playing this game.”
    • “There is no real story, beyond the story the player crafts for themselves.”
    • “There is no real story, beyond the story the player crafts for themselves.”
    • “While there may not be a written story, or a particular path the game advocates following, which path and which decisions the player makes have as much impact on the shape their deck takes as the contents of their deck.”

  • music

    The music and sound design are generally unobtrusive, allowing players to focus on gameplay rather than audio. However, the overall presentation, including graphics and text errors, detracts from the experience.

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game exhibits stability issues, including freezes and soft-stops, such as the progression button disappearing when accessing the deck during a battle. These bugs disrupt gameplay and hinder smooth progression.

    • “Freezes and soft-stops occur frequently, such as when opening your deck during a battle resolution; the button to progress to the next level disappears.”

  • replayability

    The game offers easy-to-learn mechanics combined with deep gameplay and a variety of unlockables across multiple runs, resulting in strong replayability.
