    Flinthook’s clever controls and mechanics bring challenging gameplay that requires practice to make perfect. Procedurally-generated levels and progression through death ensure a unique experience, reinforced by pleasing visuals and an equally accomplished soundtrack. All will find themselves motivated to keep playing, and lovers of the rogue-lite genre will surely appreciate the twists that successfully make Flinthook a fresh experience in a saturated market.

    Not all aspects in Flinthook fit together seamlessly. Above all, it’s a game for lenient genre-fans.

    Flinthook’s world is weird, with its space ghost pirates, animal ruffians and giant robots, but as colourful and crowded as some of these screenshots look, I’ve always found the rooms easy to read. That’s important because underneath all of the silliness and the roguelite elements, there’s a tight and challenging game that would be a delight even without its superb structure and flow. With that carefully crafted layer around it, Tribute have made one of the year’s best action games.

    Honestly... why are we trolling small game development companies? Clearly a blatant and idiotic attempt to hurt the release of this game forHonestly... why are we trolling small game development companies? Clearly a blatant and idiotic attempt to hurt the release of this game for reasons that are publicly unclear. This is a really good game with a fantastic grappling hook mechanic, and it's a boat load of fun. I came on here wanting to share the enjoyment I was getting out of this well crafted game and am finding that the bizarre, coordinated negative attacks via review are putting a damper on that. Why be a sh**ty person and denigrate a great small game, from a small development team. Both of you two morons need have a casual peek in the mirror and make sure your outward fecal projection is what you hoped it would be. Get a life; preferably one that doesn't belittle the efforts, especially those that are objectively good. Trolls are bottom feeders.

    9/10 for the game though...    … Full Review »

    Clearly the people reviewing this are trolling. I wouldn't give the game a 10 myself, but it is a solid 8.5. If you like rougelike gamesClearly the people reviewing this are trolling. I wouldn't give the game a 10 myself, but it is a solid 8.5. If you like rougelike games that have a sense of progression like Rogue Legacy (as opposed to Enter the Gungeon) while also incorporating some excellent platforming, that's oozing with charm, this game is for you. Tribute games nails it with their newest release.… Full Review »
