    I had a lot of fun playing this game in the first couple of weeks I owned it, but it didn't hold up well. I eventually got bored playing it.

    It's a fairly simple game, very easy to pick up and go with.

    I really like the design of the game and their use of color along with the ASCII characters. Almost everything is black and white, (caves have a green tint to them), so items of color really stand out and grab your attention. Water is blue, fire is orange and so forth.

    I wish the camera could be moved a bit better, maybe 360, or further in any given direction.

    That being said, I love how responsive all the controls work. I am real stickler for controls that work well and these controls do not disappoint!

    I co-op'ed local last night and it was very challenging to say the least. For local co-op, I would have to give the game a rating of maybe a 4 or 5 right now. Both players have to share the same screen and it can become really problematic because if one character is further away then you can't move your own character out of a poisonous gas cloud, or jump away from an enemy, let's say. There just isn't enough room and sometimes the game moves too fast which makes local co- op problematic. I think the local co-op would work MUCH better if each player were given a split screen and weren't tethered to one another.    … Expand

    This game is a great rougelike but unfortunately I find the chosen art style hard to look at for extended periods. I get the idea of why it looks the way it does but I still find it hard to want to look at it. Also the platforming sucks. I do not want to time jumps in a rogelike. Wanted to like this more.

    A fairly enjoyable tribute to the ancestors of modern computer role-playing, but not deep and varied enough to keep me playing longer than I needed to without the impression that I’m wasting my time. [11/2016, p.53]

    Brut@l is a decent action game, only for fans of the genre.

    How long that buzz takes to wear off is down to how much respect for ASCII games you really have. [November 2016, p67]
