Ravenswatch Reviews

This game is good but is missing very basic features, such as the ability to reconnect or rejoin game if your internet drops. I've lost far too many runs where I've invested a lot of time into getting a good build, just to have it shattered because of 1 second interference with the WiFi. Other basic features it's missing include the ability to save your in game settings, such as volume levels and voice chat settings. This means every time I load the game, my headphones are blasted with 100% max volume. Little things like this make it exceptionally irritating and make it feel like the game is not complete and still in early access.

Great game but please fix the crashes... it is very bad. at least make reconnecting possible

This game is amazing but the developer(s) should fix the stability of the game. The random crashes mid run ruins the entire experience and fun of the game. It would be awesome if there is a reconnect ability if your game crashes or your internet dies midway through a run.

Beautiful art and fun gameplay, but it feels like the devs don't know how to balance the game. Finish a single run in the lowest difficulty ( the only one available at the beggining ) feels harder than an Elden Ring deathless run. Enemies are very tanky, you die in a few hits and every boss feels like an endless bullet hell. I know that a rouguelike game is suppose to have a learning curve as you repeat every run and get slowly better results, but when the lowest difficulty is as coward as it is, it feels unrewarding and doesn't bring any will to keep playing.

Great rougelike. I began thinking this game was pretty mid, however after giving it another try I realized it was actually quite deep. I'm a big fan of curse of the old gods, which was made by these guys. I had the impression this game lacked options compared to that game. I was pleasantly surprised. The combat is great. High skill ceiling meaning you can win if you're good enough, however there are certain sitiuations you simply cannot get out of such as being surrounded and outnumbered. Which i appreciate as there should be impossible situations. Once the stars align and you get a build going that syndergizes with your items, you can feel unstoppable. Putting that lightning in a bottle on the harder diffculties is harder though, as the game decreases the rate of which you aquire XP. Grinding these levels is where i appreciated the depth of this game and you can win without an optimum build. Would recommend for anyone who enjoys roguelikes or reasonably difficult games to play with friends

I have a big compliment but about the game - its amazing, plays well and super challenging. HOWEVER, recently there are too many crashes going on during multiplayer (imho the best option how to play the game) and that happened too much that I decided to give the game a no. If they someday fix it I can rethink because i love the game. For the moment its too painful.

Ravens watch is that special kind of roguelike that is better with friends and still good on its own if you happen to be without at the time. Its got the diablo feel with a pseudo Darkest Dungeon vibe with characters from myths and legends of our olden times as playable heroes. Each feels unique, their playstyles are fun to explore, and as you unlock more and more talents to upgrade, each run becomes that much different. However, there is a massive MASSIVE issue right now that is killing it for me, and the reason I cannot recommend it in this state. The game has bugs, game crashing bugs, bugs that almost always come right as you finish a chapter, or load up another area for your run. No progress, no saved talents, you lose EVERYTHING when this happens. In a game with progression, and with runs sometimes taking upwards to an hour of playtime, losing all of that is a slap to the face, and a rage inducing nightmare on its own. If you like the Hades-Diablo style action adventure types of games with a roguelike twist and fable characters, it has those in spades. But until that bug is fixed, I cannot recommend it. You should not lose your entire gameplay progression when a fault lies in the code. Play it after a few months or updates, if the developer bothers.

Did not play a single match in our three hour session tonight where someone's client didn't crash. When you don't have the ability to rejoin a match, this is unacceptable.

Best action rogue like since Hades 1, biggest standout is the diverse and unique play styles of the different characters, probably the most original designs and concepts I've ever come across in the genre. Interesting game play loop too, the only aspect the game doesn't exceed expectations is some of the default enemies, however this may be a skill issue. Worth it at full price and still more free content to be added in the future 10/10!

8.8/10 If you are looking for a charming coop roguelike to play with your friends with great character and game design, GO for this one! Ravens Watch gotta be one of the best and my favorite of the genre Strongest points: - Art direction, character design and worldbuilding all top notch - Amazing music and sound design - Great gameplay That being said, I have to say this game has so much potential that I can't help but feel like we could have more out of this world. So weakest points: - Boss design. The gameplay around them are nice, but they look kinda the same - The world building is great, but we don't have a linear story or many NPC´s to interact with. Having so would make this already great world even more deep. - Also, now almost all of my mains are lv 9 (max lv) so I don't have much incentives to keep playing with them apart from game completion - not much cosmetics or characters to unlock, you hit the point of ´´not much new stuff`` kinda fast - I understand that the story telling is made through book pages and thematically that fits. But even so, it would be way better to have a linear story around a nonlinear gameplay based on dialogue and character interactions. This game has so much potential that I find myself wishing the developers would take it more seriously in those regards, this could make this game that is already awesome basically god-tier. With more incentives and free unlockable in the game, Raven´s Watch could keep players active for much more time. I think other roguelikes that did these things better are Lost Castle 2 and Ember Knights. But even so, I like Raven's watch better in aesthetic and gameplay, and wish it could keep me coming back to it even more with these incentives if you like the genre and never played this one, you are for sure missing out
