Disc / 10

Don't fear discs, embrace them!

Disc Room is a very simple game.

It is very much a "what you see is what you get" kind of experience. The player navigates through a series of rooms which are laid out in a grid. Each room has it's own unique types of saw blades which spawn in with their own unique abilities and behaviors. Over the course of playing through the "Normal" difficulty rooms (there is also an entire additional map of "Hard" rooms that can be unlocked, though I found them much easier to clear than the "Normal" rooms), the player also unlocks 6 special abilities (Dash, Slow, Clone, Absorb, Blast, and Mirror). These help level the playing field somewhat, though the game relies so much on RNG for the spawning and movement of the saw blades that no amount of skill is going to help players win on most of their attempts. The overall goal for the player is to survive in each room for a certain amount of time, and doing this in each room usually unlocks the adjacent rooms within the larger grid, though some special rooms have additional prerequisites to unlock.

Do I recommend this game? Yes, with a few caveats. One: know what you're getting. This game is about moving a character around a room to dodge blades for a certain amount of time and get a high score. The way the game presents this is very engaging, but that's ultimately all there is to it. Two: This is a game about being trapped in a murder box. It has graphic cartoon violence galore, and thanks to the aforementioned RNG issues, you'll be seeing quite a lot of it. Three: there are a number of rooms in the game in which the RNG issue consistently makes even the most skilled of players lose hundreds upon hundreds of times before conditions work out to were it actually becomes possible to win. If you are at all like me, you'll be ticked off about being consistently cheated out of winning while also being unable to make yourself quit trying to win at the same time.

If that sounds like a good time, than Disc Room might the game for you.

After 100% I can confirm its a good game. I can also confirm that you should not 100% it because a piece of me died doing it.
