Gameplay in the reviewed titles emphasizes strategic positioning and pattern recognition, akin to a knight's movement in chess, where players must optimize their attack patterns while minimizing enemy advantages. In "Void Scout," the turn-based roguelike mechanics offer engaging combat and dynamic power-ups that enhance the overall experience.
- “The attacks are in patterns—think of how a knight moves—and the gameplay largely revolves around positioning oneself so that the pattern of one’s attacks is most advantageous to themselves, and the pattern of their enemies’ attacks is least advantageous to them.”
