Remnants of the Rift Reviews

Maybe some other people enjoy this, but it's just not something I can get behind Normally, I enjoy these kinds of games, but this one just... doesn't hit the mark. It feels like if you took a single character from a traditional TRPG and put them into a roguelike. Of course, you can't adjust their moveset heavily, so you just slap on modifiers that change very little I have similar complaints with Windblown. This game takes too long to change up your toolkit in any meaningful way, and players new to the game are likely to spend most of their refund window getting familiar with the controls, barely making progress, getting a pittance of credits each run to upgrade health, looking at that new ability with wonder, only to realize they now must drop one of their existing abilities to use a highly specific and limited ability that needs specific circumstances. I'm not doubting its power; moving an enemy is powerful. I'm doubting its usefulness when my damage capabilities are already spread thin as is. Of course, this is a much better game than Windblown. For one, it's cheaper, a whole $10 cheaper for a completed game. It also doesn't have mechanics that conflict with each other and make the game a constantly frustrating mess that steps on its own toes every time it tries to innovate. Idk man, buy it if you'd like. I'm just gonna take my $15 and put it into the next DRG cosmetic pack. I have no real opinions either way. I enjoyed what I played, but when I stopped and tried to play again...
