Flinthook is a pleasant surprise and one of the best games of 2017 so far.
"Flinthook" is a single-player sci-fi shooter game with outstanding action-platformer gameplay and roguelike elements. As space captain Flinthook, use your hookshot, pistol, and slowmo powers to plunder randomly-assembled spaceships for treasure and loot. Zip around levels at high speeds, shoot in 360 degrees, and slow down time to dodge hazards and take down enemies. The game boasts splendid visuals and an awesome soundtrack, though be prepared for some grinding.

Critic Reviews
Flinthook Review
Flinthook would have been a much better game with handcrafted levels as opposed to being a roguelite and one that needs some tweaking visually.
75%Flinthook review
A satisfying, moreish take on the roguelike formula, and one that's most likely to appeal to genre naysayers.

Zipping around levels with your hookshot and using your various power-ups to navigate some of the tough scenarios that the game throws at you is rewarding. If Roguelikes are your thing, but you’re not looking for something that’s too taxing Flinthook is worth a look.
