    7/10 Bloodborne + Symphony of the night, except with Lovecraft's lore, horror but weirdly fun, a roguelite with RPG elements, beautiful pixel art and soundtrack, however, the personalization and combat are lacking solidity, the aiming in combat is quite rare and unstable, good effort and idea, it just needs a little more polishing.

    I did find that the AI enemies seem to flop around like more of a fish than a monster, but for the most part, they provide a fresh experience. Source of Madness takes the traditional roguelite formula and adds in its own spices showing that a genre that’s been beaten to death still has some life in it.

    Source of Madness is a roguelite with a brilliant potential, which unfortunately feels mostly squandered. It’s a fun game mechanically, but repetition kicks in after just a few hours.

    These smaller issues pale in comparison to what Source of Madness gets right. The gorgeous 2D art style, atmospheric music, and crunchy sound design underpin a combat system that is deep and rewarding, and is sure to keep surprising players deep into their time with the game. For gamers searching for a gratifying roguelite filled to the brim with passion and creativity, Source of Madness is more than worth the cost of admission.
