Pylon: Rogue
Went wrong somewhere along the line. The original idea might have promise, but in practice it has failed. Threatens to be interesting sometimes, but rarely.

+5
- Fun and addicting gameplay that appeals to hardcore roguelike fans.

- The game has a simple navigation map and dungeons that look great, providing a decent risk/reward system.
- Lacks depth with no leveling system, story, or meaningful upgrades, leading to repetitive gameplay.
- Combat feels clunky and awkward due to poor controls and blocky animations, making it frustrating to navigate and fight.
- High dependency on RNG for health drops and upgrades creates an imbalance, making the game feel unfair at times.

The gameplay is criticized for its overly simplistic mechanics, featuring only four characters with basic parameters and a lack of responsive movement options, which detracts from the intended fast-paced experience. However, players appreciate the blend of roguelike elements and the inclusion of humor, alongside a variety of unlockables that add depth to the gameplay. Overall, while the core mechanics may feel basic, there are enjoyable aspects that can enhance the experience.
“Bite-sized bits of gameplay with a host of unlockables and some spicy humor.”
“This game does mix elements of roguelikes well with its core mechanics.”
“The mechanics are too basic: there are 4 characters to choose from, they don't have scores and only have four parameters: damage, life, movement, and armor.”
“Having to turn my camera 45 degrees and then slowly waddle (no dash or sprint available) out of a poison bubble just doesn't feel like reactive gameplay to me.”
“Sorry, but games like this are meant to be played on a knife edge where quick and correct reactions are the cornerstone of gameplay.”
