Hieroglyphika

This game has so much potential but it's too slow to play, and balancing isn't quite right.
I wish it would get updated even if it seems abandoned for good.
Still had fun finishing my first run after many tries.

Brutal rouge-like, turn based, dungeon crawler with perma-death.
Learning curve starts way above player's head.
Whole game is super brutal and frustrating, but that's the charm of it, but the more you learn, the better it gets.
It's like dark souls on nightmare difficulty, but actually hard, on steroids, and set up against player. And it's normal mode in this game, there's also hard one, but it demands 5D brain to be played. My smooth ball-brain barely makes it possible to reach level 5.

Gameplay is heavily inspired by Legend of Zelda - forced top-down-like perspective, turn based move, traps, environment to interact with and to use against enemies.
RNG makes each run interesting, and you can't just memorise layouts. As for the enemies, on the right-side of the main screen there is a hint list, showing what each enemy does.
At first, items are a mystery. You start just like british and german grave robbers of the XVIII-XIX century, decoding on
the go, what your gear and enemies actually do.

To be honest, I hate this game because how hard and unpredictable it is, but also, it's a clear 9/10 tittle.
My only negative is for the slightly bugged or convoluted move/action menu, but once you'd get a grip of it, all is good.

Just buy this game and finally git gud you filthy casual scrub.
