    Dreamscaper is a permadeath RPG that took my breath away. This is a game that carries weight behind it. The overall moves and story arcs are impeccable to take it and watch. The visuals are staggering and impeccable. It’s a wonderful game. It’s a moving and relatable narrative that allows you inside our protagonist’s life and personal experiences of her subconscious. It’s a damn good game.

    Dreamscaper is a deep, thought-provoking journey packed with some truly enjoyable combat and realistic characters. If you’ve been hesitating to give it a try-don’t.

    Dreamscaper is beautiful, deep and haunting, deftly combining elements of real-life pain and poignant character development with fast-paced combat in a surreal alternate world.

    It’s a really interesting idea, and it’s very well executed. The flow of the game is never too fast either, even the more intense battles have a little more space than in most roguelikes, and it leads to a more relaxed game overall. I really like Dreamscaper and I hope that a lot more people will play it.

The combat mechanics is quite hard but as most games similar to Hades, there is a learning curve. This game definitely deserves more credit, sad to say I only got to play it a few hours.

A really enjoyable style and mood for the first zone, and immediately after I'm bored and hardly care. I do understand the dichotomy theyre going for, the contrast between the soft, bright colors of the protagonist and her memories of her childhood home, but everything afterwards is obnoxiously stereotypical. Spikey purple bad guys. A dark, indistinguishable cityscape. A decent roguelike, but only worth consideration if you've already milked the fun out of half a dozen better ones.… Full Review »

    The animations are the worse I saw in decades, I did not like the "squared" levels.
    I did not enjoy this game in general despite loving roguelikes.
