Just amazing. Gameplay feels perfect. Music is on another level. Very impressive.

Dead cells with fun movement and decently unique weapons

I want to like this game but I just can’t get into it. I am not big into rogue likes but I’ve beaten Hades a bunch of times so I thought I’d enjoy this but I just can’t. Here are my issues:

1. So much of the combat feels clunky. It’s terrifying to be in a space with more than one enemy at a time. It feels like most of the time there’s a range fighter nearby and they’ll pick you off quickly. Not to mention it sucks to vault over an enemy just to end up in another enemy’s attack. The wall running and knife falling thing is REALLY cool and forgiving. But I find myself running past enemies just to conserve health.
2. I just feel too weak. I know that’s how these games start but unless you’re going out of your way to scour each map you can totally miss seemingly crucial upgrades to scale your damage. I don’t remember ever feeling this way in Hades. Not to mention it feels like you take 3 hits and you’re dead. I have gotten the first boss down to at most a quarter and the fight is just so long I can’t hold out for the 4-5 hits.
3. The maps just feel too long. Even when I get better, I can’t see myself doing the maps that much faster. I legitimately dread getting the library over the aqueducts (and I know the aqueducts are long too). At least with the aqueducts I don’t know if the end is near. But with the library I know where the end is and I know when I’m 1/4,1/2,3/4 of the way there and it just drags on. If the levels are longer after the first boss I’d for sure be dropping it there.

So the art is nice, the traversal system feels unique, but I just don’t enjoy the core elements of the game.

The game is very fun. Combat and movement are imo superior to Dead Cells. Excited to see where this game goes with every update. Music is 10/10. Big recommended, but be aware that the content is at around 40-50 % of what 1.0 might turn out to be.

I really liked The Rogue Prince of Persia from what I played in the first half. The gameplay feels great, and the updates make me excited for the future. However, there's a major issue—performance.

I use integrated graphics, so I can’t play every game, but titles like this give me hope. Unfortunately, this one runs at around 20 FPS, which is completely unplayable. I haven’t played much simply because of how poorly it performs.

What’s frustrating is that other, more visually demanding games like Hades and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown run at 60 FPS on my PC, and they look much better despite being 3D, while this is 2D.

I really wanted to enjoy this game, but right now, I regret my purchase. I hope the devs optimize it so more players with lower-end systems can experience it properly.

Hmmm... I definitely like this game, but I struggle to recommend it as is. Right now, the moment to moment gameplay is mostly fantastic. It takes a beat to get used to the flow, but once you do, this game is very fun. However, the meta progression seems difficult for difficulty's sake. This is another roguelike with difficult floors and much more difficult bosses. So far, I haven't seen any option in the between-run level ups to change my damage output and it's taking me dozens of hits on the boss to even get them to half health, if I survive that long. Meanwhile, the amount of upgrade currency I'm getting per run has already slowed to a pace of taking two or even three runs to buy anything at any upgrade spot and I haven't even played for two hours yet. It feels a little bit slow and difficult in a forced way. I'd like to see a 10-20% boost in souls collected during runs and a 10% reduction or more to boss health. I like a challenge but I'm going to get bored of the first few levels if they're this tough to clear!

But yes, the music, the art, the gameplay, it's all great! Even the story is ok to good so far, not that I care. I am enjoying it, for sure, I'm just worried I'll get bored of hitting my head against the wall, it feels like I'm hours away from any meaningful changes to my character so that boss will just be extremely tough every time for a long while. Like someone else said, you just feel way too weak at the start and it doesn't seem like that will change soon. I'm all for earning god-like but give me hero from jump, or soon after, please.

Gameplay is topnotch, fluid and very expressive
Visually the game looks beautiful Excellent use of color and plenty of variety
Soundtrack is done by ASADI which means its banger after banger
Story is fun and engaging enough, but nothing special (not finished yet of course)
Boss design is great challenging but not unfair and they all incorporate platforming nicely
A little lite on the content side probably 10 hours to finish the story but if you know the devs you know there wont be any shortage of great content in future

overall great game can't recommend it enough.

so far I really like it
Can't wait for the full game
