As in, you play it for 30 minutes, do something else, and come back later. Yes, you will lose every time. Yes, it is unfair. But, every 10th game when you make it to the 3rd level, and every 50th game you make it to the 4th level, your heart will be pumping! And, it has a surprising amount of depth and replayability as you learn how to maximize combos, use the different weapons, and choose upgrades in between stages. Really, for $3 this is the best value I've ever gotten from a game.
   
   It surprises me so many low reviews!! Probably kids see the very high metascore, buy it for just $3, and then are frustrated they can't master it immediately. Sheesh, that is the beauty of unforgiving RNG games.… Expand

   Downwell es... curioso. Es un juego con un género muy moderno (como son los rogue-likes), pero muchas cosas muy arcade. Pero, lo hace sorprendentemente bien. No me lo he pasado antes de escribir esto por pereza, porque engancha que no veas.
   
   El gameplay es el mayor exponente del juego. Es simple: eres un hombre que baja por un pozo con unas botos pistola. Ya está. En 4 fases con 3 niveles cada una (sin incluir el boss final), tendremos que demostrar nuestras habilidades como bajador de pozos. Los controles son sublimes y es frenético como pocos juegos, aunque a veces se pasa de frenético , teniendo demasiados enemigos en pantalla. La vida es escasa y eso el juego lo sabe. Conseguir vida es difícil y te dan 1 punto la mayoría de veces, por lo que no puedes tirarte a lo loco. Pero para eso están los estilos, que añaden pequeñas variaciones (como no tener mejores, tener más vida...) al gameplay y que hacen todavía más distinta cada run.
   
   La mecánica más grande del juego (y la que le da variedad) son las mejoras. Al igual que en la mayoría de juegos del género, al superar un nivel, nos darán la opción de escoger entre algunas mejoras. Algunas son de ganar vida de manera directa (como la manzana, que da 4 PS al instante) o indirecta (como la de consumir enemigos muertos), que al conseguir gemas suceda algo (como que se recarguen las botas pistola o que suelten una bala para arriba) o efectos que afectarán a como juegas (como el dron, que duplica tus disparos). Aunque no reinventan cada partida, si que las varían bastante y hacen que cada partida tengas que plantearla de manera diferente.
   
   Audiovisualmente, es un juego de máquina arcade casi, con gráficos 8 bits y una música del mismo número de bits. No me extrañaría que con lo imaginativa que es la comunidad alguien haya hecho una máquina arcade para Downwell, porque le pega estar en un salón recreativo.
   
   Como la narrativa es nula, solo voy a decir que Downwell me parece un juego muy sólido y que por 3 €, puedes llegar a sentirte un ladrón ante tal robo que estás cometiendo. Recomendadísimo (sobre todo para ratitos de 10 minutos en los que no sabes qué hacer)… Expand
