    There is no denying that Tunche is one of the best Indie titles to be released this year. With a gorgeous art style, great character designs, a rock solid gameplay loop and some sweet action it is a joy to play and easy to learn. However it might prove a little too repetitive for some.

    Tunche has some performance issues, but it more than makes up for it with its presentation. The combat is thoroughly enjoyable and complex. The visual style and animations are a complete joy, and the rogue-lite elements are incredibly generous and motivating for players to continue run after run. Tunche provides an entraining and, at times, addicting beat ’em up experience, and that’s all I could have asked for.

The saturated rogue market is fast becoming a train wreck, each game trying to be more punishing and frustrating than the last and, from what I can see, to be cheaper to produce. This game just piles too many frustrations on top of each other, easy starter enemies that have a lot of health, random projectile locations that are sometimes undodgable, a fairly long distance to the first boss. The boss uses fairly easy area denial attacks only, but what tricks you is after they are fired they stay active for an unclear amount of time, catching you as you move back in to strike the boss. The boss has a shield that you must take down before doing damage, and once it is down it will go all the way back up. The health pool in addition to the shield is huge. The game is more tiring than challenging.

    The beat-em up combos seemed decent, though I never got the plummet skill to work which should slap down knocked up enemies. Getting higher style grades with no skills unlocked involved jumping and slapping enemies when close to the ground, not sure that was the best idea for a mechanic, not sure it was intentional even. Again as a beat-em up I feel this game might succeed, but it would have been better served letting you simply retry bosses on death like Dark Souls or Cuphead, rather than snoozing through boring enemy filled "rooms" again to reach it like a rogue-lite. The random power up system on a run isn't a good idea either, some items make a run super easy, some are useless.

    One draw of this type of game is supposed to be multi player potential. And who exactly is going to play this with you? The steep learning curve and high difficulty from the start, as well as frequent restarts would make that a painful experience quickly, the opposite of the usual beat-em up genre.

    The overall graphics and sound are good, but there's no voice acting I'm pretty sure, and each room seems the same. The cheapness starts to show. I feel like the idea was good, and things like the number of selectable characters was a plus, but a game still has to be enjoyable. Ciao gamers.    … Full Review »
