    There is something special here for those who want a mechanical experience that can bring about a fluid, satisfying flow state. For everyone else, the game should be a blast to watch at GDQ.

    ScourgeBringer manages to work on the strength of its controls and the overall smoothness of its combat.

    Failing to have a great replayability and to vary the gaming experiences, ScourgeBringer offers players twenty hours of a challenge as hard as it is satisfying.

    If anything, ScourgeBringer wallows in roguelike trends instead of staking a real claim to the genre. The basic combat - a genuinely hard gameplay element to design, where other more successful roguelikes falter - is so confidently realized that it longs for a deeper, wilder game built around it.

    I do think it is too “hurt me plenty” for me, only just. The sensation of being slapped right back to the start every time and having to repeat the opening level is as likely to produce a frustrated sigh as it is to inspire a “one more go” mentality. In this case, new minibosses have started to appear to offer some variety. But I’m probably bowing out, at least for the time being. That’s okay. I can appreciate the knuckle-cracking attitude of improvement-by-death while also being ready to lay down my demon razor and die no more. You win this one, ScourgeBringer.

    What is the current state of Scourgebringer as it enters Early Access? It’s more than playable, and fans of Metroidvania or pixel-perfect platformers (or, heck, both) will definitely enjoy what they find here. Personally, I think the music is great, and I’m definitely going to keep playing it as it journeys through toward its final release. [Early Access Score = 80]

    ScourgeBringer is a very nervous rogue-lite with super smooth movements, even for players like me who are not familiar with the genre.

    Its a very good rogue-like game. Movements smooth and best way to play it is either switch or ps vita.

    Scourgebringer is kind of pretty. The gameplay isn't bad at first glance. But I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy because ScourgebringerScourgebringer is kind of pretty. The gameplay isn't bad at first glance. But I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy because Scourgebringer is an empty, boring grind that shows you everything it has to offer in the first 5 minutes. All of the upgrades are boring and suck. I'd be more descriptive but I don't want to work harder on this review than the dev worked on the game.… Full Review »
