    Overall I enjoyed Swords of Ditto it is a charming game with a really cool art style like the art style of Adventure time. The game itself unlike most other rouge likes that have played the gameplay never really gets repetitive and does a good job of making the dungeons feel fresh each time that I do them. The toys are mostly all pretty fun to use and mess around with; I also reallyOverall I enjoyed Swords of Ditto it is a charming game with a really cool art style like the art style of Adventure time.

The toys are mostly all pretty fun to use and mess around with; I also really liked the sticker mechanic it added a good bit of depth to the game. The combat in this game is good too it is fresh and controls really well. If were thinking about getting this a think you should it is a really fun game.… Expand

    The game is cute, but surprisingly difficult! If you're on the fence, I highly recommend it. The game controls very well and the "toys" you unlock are super fun to use. However, be aware that this game is considered a "roguelike" meaning it has permadeath mechanics. I was pretty frustrated at first when starting out because of this, but once you start to understand how the game works,The game is cute, but surprisingly difficult!

    Perfect! Swords of Ditto is kinda hard in the beginning, but it gets easier and easier with time. The game wants you to learn as you play. Just like our lives, Ditto is beautiful, frustrating, captivating and wonderful. Highly recommended.

    Graphics: 9
    Sounds: 7
    Final: 7,75 (or 8 if you want to...)

    The Swords of Ditto is a very beautiful game with a simple but interesting story that fit perfectly well in the context of the gameplay. The soundtrack is very beautiful and friendly, plus the aesthetic Zelda + Adventure Time which is hilarious!

    This is a great RPG the swords of ditto has similar gameplay to some zleda games which is a good thing like cutting though grass with your sword collecting coins and other items can be so additive lol

    This game isn't for everyone, and the mixed score should say that much. But it is a charming, delightful Legend of Zelda-esque roguelite that offers dozens of hours of play.

But it is a charming, delightful Legend of Zelda-esque roguelite that offers dozens of hours of play. The graphics are cute and captivating, the music is video game-y in a way that not much video game music is nowadays, the combat has wake, and the randomly generated map every run adds weight to the 'once every 100 years' storyline.

    It has its issues - a bit buggy here and there, the world generation isn't quite as varied as you would like, but it's overall extremely high quality for an indie game. It's genuinely wondrous to explore, and by the time you're on your second or third run, you'll be deeply invested in the world of Swords of Ditto. I bought this game on sale for 7.50 a few days ago, and I haven't put it down since - and it's been a LONG time since an indie game has been able to say that of me. I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a charming, nostalgic roguelite, especially if it's on sale.    … Expand

    The Swords of Ditto is a charming rogue-lite with a robust challenge. Fans of top-down action-adventure games won’t be disappointed.

    Despite a repetitive level-design and an obvious lack of a proper scenario, The Sword of Ditto is both lovely to watch and to listen to. Nicely paced and crafted, it’s even better when played in coop.

    Cute rogue-like RPG which introduces interesting ideas, but ultimately turns out to be a dreary grind festival.
