    Uppercut Games’ first roguelite is a strong entry in the crowded rogue-lite genre thanks to its amusing, thievery-based brand of creativity. Though I’ve had my fill for now, I imagine in a few weeks I’ll find myself running through the haunted halls and squares of some haunted desert setting gleefully filling my pockets with every shiny piece in sight.

    Using the scimitar and the versatile whip, roaming through the levels with free gameplay approach and play everytime different levels is a real pleasure. With an elaborated story and a higher budget, City of Brass could've been a even better game.

    City of Brass' enemy difficulty and character upgrade system is tuned well enough that you will never be too over- or underpowered at any stage of the game.

    Interesting enough to be noticed, City of Brass lacks in terms of environmental variety and refinement.

    City of Brass is a charming and accessible roguelike game.

    Procedural generation is another thing that’s killing this game. Each level is an agglomeration of rooms, streets and passages with no rhyme or reason behind it. Of course, new types of traps and monsters are being added to the mix all the time, but every new map ends up looking just the same. [Issue#230, p.62]

    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.    … Expand

City of Brass tiene como tematica a la cultura de Egipto y podemos encontrar Genios, como en Aladdín y todo tipo de armas relacionadas a la epoca.

    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

    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!    … Expand

You can jump around, buy upgrades, collect loot, fight monsters, evade traps. It somewhat reminds me of Prince of Persia. Even the levels are gorgeous if not cramped up.

    The fights are tedious and unsatisfying. There are too many enemies that come with shields whom you need to hit over and over and over and over again. The lasso takes two seconds which renders it useless in a fight.

    The bosses were too strong and the loot wasn't sufficient to buy upgrades. I frequently found myself dying lots of times or running through many levels without enough loot to buy an upgrade.    … Expand
