    Quick preface: I picked this game up for free from the Epic Store, so feel free to take my enthusiasm with a grain of salt.

    Prince of Persia meets Mothergunship. It's a fun little rogue-lite action game with an Arabian setting that is kind of refreshing. It's simple but fun, and the game has its good and bad points. If you can get it under $10, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

    This is a great rogue-like game. It is underrated and many negative reviews are ridiculous because the reviewer has no concept of the type of game it is.

    The power ups are good, the theme and graphics are good, the enemy types and bosses are fun. it's addictive and clear that the devs have experience from bioshock and know how to make a game.

    Pros:
    Buena jugabilidad
    Rejugabilidad
    Desbloqueables
    Contiene una buena guia
    Dificultad variada (podemos modificar la jugabilidad de muchas maneras)
    Buen diseño
    Actualizaciones constantes
    Enemigos variados

    Contras:
    Mala optimizacion
    Comunidad pobre
    Pocos personajes

    A destacar:
    La historia que tiene es bastante pobre, sin embargo te la cuentan de manera muy divertida mientras lees los equipables, mejoras y consumibles, ademas su diseño de niveles te cuenta una historia de manera indirecta y eso me parece genial y algo que no todos los juegos te ofrecen.    … Expand

    For the first couple of hours City of Brass was lots of fun, mainly thanks to the whip, which is a cool, versatile tool, and the game’s unique setting. Then scarcity of content reared its head and despite the efforts of a very capable procedural generation algorithm repetitiveness became more and more wearisome. [07/2018, p.50]

    Provided you keep expectations in check, City of Brass can be fun. The game is set up well for those starting out with roguelikes, and the various tweaks ensure that everyone has a chance to see the ending. For the hardcore, it can also be tweaked to be tougher, and that'll be necessary if you want any kind of challenge. This doesn't feel like a long-lasting experience, but the presence of leaderboards will be an incentive to those who might want to speed-run through the game. If you don't mind a few of the aforementioned flaws, then give this title a chance.

    Solid and in deeper levels absorbent roguelike game from a fresh shooter view. The game doesn´t lack charm, but to keep your attention it would need twice as much. [Issue#286]
