Sea Horizon

Ultimately Sea Horizon was a very solid and enjoyable experience. While the quite steep difficulty and dual-component RNG can be tricky to deal with, and may push some gamers away, this is sure to appeal to hardcore fans of the deckbuilding genre. If you’re looking for something challenging and unique, I’d give Sea Horizon a shot.

  • There is a variety of characters and classes to play, each with their own playstyle and abilities, enhancing replayability.
  • The art style and music are well-received, contributing to an enjoyable atmosphere during gameplay.
  • The game can become repetitive after a few hours, with a lack of enemy and build variety diminishing long-term engagement.

  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as lacking depth, with some players finding it difficult to engage due to challenging gameplay mechanics and a sense of monotony after completing quests. While there are multiple characters with their own narratives, the overall plot feels simplistic and reminiscent of amateur writing, which some players found amusing. Players often resort to grinding in dungeon mode to strengthen their characters for story progression, indicating a disconnect between the narrative and gameplay experience.

    • “Well... technically I finished the game since the story is wrapped up, but there's a lot of extra content.”
    • “Thanks to this change, I was finally able to finish his story and it even felt overpowered in some battles, but that was until the last boss.”
    • “Besides the combat, there's a story which follows each character and gives you quests.”
    • “I wrapped up all story quests and all dungeons, and started the free roam quests before I realized that the fun had worn off.”
    • “As for the paladin campaign, it's impossible to finish unless you get super good RNG, which I personally never get, so I'm unable to finish the story part of the game.”
    • “For the most part, it just makes the story read like a kids' DeviantArt novel, which honestly made reading the plot a bit more fun.”
  • gameplay
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in the reviewed game is characterized by a mix of card, dice, and rogue-like mechanics, but many players find it overly complex and repetitive, leading to a lack of engagement after a short period. While some appreciate the smooth mechanics and the potential for fun in character interactions, the limited enemy variety and simplistic exploration mode detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game offers interesting ideas but struggles with balance and depth, resulting in a gameplay experience that can feel both enjoyable and monotonous.

    • “✅ Card style roguelite gameplay.”
    • “Game mechanics are smooth and a lot of fun between each of the characters.”
    • “- Pretty good roguelike reward mechanics; upon completing an adventure, either through victory or death, you can pick one piece of gear you had equipped to transfer to your next new character.”
    • “Offering cards, dice, board game, and rogue-like mechanics is overly complex with no single element feeling as if it's intended to be the strength of the game.”
    • “The game is way too simple and repetitive with boring gameplay after about 30 minutes.”
    • “Not a lot of enemy variation: while almost every enemy and encounter has some unique mechanic, you will be fighting the same dozen or so enemies for most of the game, excluding boss encounters and such.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its quality and how it complements the art style and combat experience. However, some find it unobtrusive and not particularly memorable, while others note that the gameplay can become repetitive despite the satisfying sound effects. Overall, the audio settings provide ample customization options for players.

    • “Love the music and the art style around the map and within the action of the game.”
    • “Good music and satisfying sounds from combat (a surprising contribution to the combat not being ultra repetitive).”
    • “In the options, you’ll find settings for audio, background music, and effect volume sliders, background mute, window mode (full screen, windowed full screen, and window), language (English and Chinese), and resolution (max 1920x1080).”
    • “The OST was unobtrusive but not particularly noteworthy.”
    • “In the options, you’ll find settings for audio, background music and effect volume sliders, background mute, window mode (full screen, windowed full screen, and window), language (English and Chinese), and resolution (max 1920x1080).”

    • “The characters seem to stagnate, with no meaningful evolution or backstory revealed as the game progresses.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the initial grinding enjoyable for the first ten hours, but it quickly turns tedious as they realize significant grinding is necessary to progress, especially in dungeon mode for leveling up before tackling the story mode.

    • “What starts out as fun for the first ten hours or so starts becoming tedious afterwards.”
    • “So, prepare yourself to do quite a lot of grinding for your character because you’re going to need it.”
    • “Because of this, I was able to gain more experience points than in story mode, so I guess I’ll be grinding in dungeon mode until I’m strong enough to take on the story mode.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers indicate that the replayability of the game is quite low for a roguelite, suggesting that the addition of more unique enemies, diverse abilities for new builds, and varied world encounters could significantly enhance the game's longevity and replay value.

    • “Add more enemies with unique mechanics, more interesting abilities that can open up new builds, and maybe add some more world encounters, and bang, you just gave Sea Horizon countless more hours of replayability.”
    • “The replayability value is very low for a roguelite game.”
    • “Add more enemies with unique mechanics, more interesting abilities that can open up new builds, and maybe add some more world encounters, and you would significantly increase the replayability.”
