    Wonderful rogue-like game with character development and lore to explore. 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. Gameplay: https://youtu.be/qr31wI3kwkE

    I enjoyed every aspect of the game. I already like rogue-like games a lot and Dreamscaper just made my 1 week. It was an amazing experience with Cassidy. It felt warm while trying to find our hero's story. I really recommend you to play this game.

    I enjoyed this game quite a bit. The levels are challenging, the enemy variety & placement felt strong and the different timing on weapons provides a new challenge on each run.
    Only downsides in my mind was that the overworld gift-giving mechanic felt a bit random having to guess whether someone would like something.

    A very enjoyable game with a myriad of novel game mechanics that will suck you in and keep you entertained for hours. Endlessly replayable. Can't wait for the next project from Afterburner Studios!

    A roguelike with a strong emphasis on the story. The gameplay turned out to be rather shallow, but the gravity of the subject that the game tackles (depression) makes up for that. For a roguelike, Dreamscaper is quite easy, so its message has a chance to reach a broader audience. [11/2021, p.61]

    If you have an itch for a new and solid roguelike, Dreamscaper is more than happy to help you scratch it.

    In a crowded roguelike landscape, Dreamscaper tries to stand out by adding a narrative, advendure-like mini section, which is so well-crafted and interesting that it almost overshadows the action segments. The game offers good graphics and a cool soundtrack, but also repetitive puzzles and unconvincing enemy design. Luckily, the combat system is excellent, which makes a great pick for any action roguelike fan.
