Played @PlayInkbound's demo which is a turn-based rogue like game with procedurally generated dungeons developed by @ShinyShoeGames.

I thought that this unique style of gameplay was so engaging.

The characters and gameplay are well designed:

1/ The story is incredibly immersive. From the narrative to the vivid and colorful characters you encounter.

2/The game functions around carefully using abilities as they use a resource called Will (blue), and strategically moving around to increase your survivability while conserving this Will which gets reduced as you move.

Moving to a blue pulsating circle rewards you with Will! 👀

3/ During your runs, you will earn both active and passive buffs that will impact your gameplay. You have use these to your advantage to stack powerful effects which is key in a successful dungeon run.

4/ Make sure to read the buffs on current enemies as they will dictate certain actions you may want to take!

5/ Here's a full clip of one of my encounters for perspective.

6/ There are about 3-4 rooms you have to beat in every dungeon. If you die at all during the run, you will need to start over. I do enjoy that because it makes you work hard for your reward.

✨Some takeaways ✨

-The gameplay revolves around gathering powerful abilities, upgrades, and power-ups.
