Rustil: Eternal Labyrinth Castle Steam Charts & Stats

i really like the concept and its really easy to understand. i like how the game lets you change the camera to feel more like a hack and slash game or a top down isometric game. if this game had co-op it would be ever more fun

Honestly the bones are there for a great action anime roguelike! Just need more content, some optimization, and ability to rebind movement keys on the keyboard.

DON'T SLEEP ON THIS GAME! Ignore the bad reviews, I have no idea what version of the game they were playing. If you're reading this, you should probably just buy the game. I kept getting it recommended by steam, kept ignoring it, wishlisted it just in case I ever wanted to try it, still never bought it, and then finally picked it up. I waited too long for sure. I was skeptical about some of the bad reviews, limited coverage on youtube videos, no wiki, etc. It just seemed like no one was playing this. It's good. It's really, really good. Starting out is brutal, but once you start making some meta-progression it really takes shape. Each of the "hero souls" is basically a god you get your skills from, except in this game they might actually be skills and not just added effects. Each of them unlocks something else in terms of meta-progression. You get the floating weapons (which can be stat sticks, or you can get soul buffs to make them attack), Pets (supposedly every monster in the game is catchable, and the system has real depth to it), and some other stuff I'm probably forgetting. Starting out, you'll want to push safe mode will you get a couple of hero souls unlocked. After that, you want to *KEEP A RETURN SCROLL ON YOU* and do challenge mode. Yea you get better loot and catch rates, but the real reason the grind challenge mode is the skill points. You'll make much more progress in your meta progression. If you get teleported into a monster room and get overwhelmed, just pause and use the return scroll. Those skill points are the real prize. Alright gonna list some stuff here (hopefully at some point this game gets a wiki page) ~The ticket in the shop for 38,000 gold unlocks a guy in your base that can insure your equipment so if you die in challenge mode you don't lose your gear. *you have to get the ticket out of the run before he unlocks* ~When you capture a monster, you cannot make it a permanent pet until you unlock the tamer from killing the 3rd boss and using the relic item in the next room. The enemy that drops hero soul relics is labeled and on the floor before the shop before the boss. *do not "use" a captured pet or it will be a one time use like the summons scrolls.* ~If you like the way a piece of gear looks, save it in storage and you can use it as a skin later. ~the character default look is not the only customization (I always saw the mc with the same look in all of the videos, you can customize her a bit at the beginning and later freely for a fee) ~if you steal, you'll probably die in the shop, just a heads up. bad way to end a good run. ~catch rates are low by default. if you get one of those rare catch stones, store it until you unlock tamer. you can get a passive with her that increases the rate by 50% at rank 1. ~don't forget about your armor skills. some of them are insanely powerful, especially in boss fights. There are a lot of subtle combat mechanics (that I haven't fully figured out myself yet). The skill ceiling seems really high. Try sprinting and jump attacking, there are some different interactions with different attacks and the aerial stuff feels awesome when you get it. Really gotta work on that myself. Again, if you like roguelites/roguelikes (whichever term you prefer), and you like the anime aesthetic, and you like the idea of 3d rogue games, just buy it. This is up there with windblown for me. I cannot wait to see what future updates hold. It's already really good. Also, I'm pretty sure there are infinite floors, but you'll know when to back out after a few runs XD Good luck and happy gaming <3
