Sep 11, 2024A well-crafted roguelike, packed with upgrade options that keep the pace from ever slowing down. Players can expect moments where their reflexes and the lessons learned throughout the journey will be thoroughly tested, along with a satisfying progression that keeps us invested in both the story and Elsie's evolution.

Sep 25, 2024Despite its steep learning curve and occasional forced endings, Elsie is a fast, frenetic and fun roguelike with plenty of ways to change up your runs. It'll have you running and gunning for hours on end, leaving you eager to jump in for yet another run. If roguelikes are your thing, Elsie is well worth its bargain price.

Sep 17, 2024I had a solid time with Elsie and would love to see a sequel that irons out its more confusing aspects and pacing issues. As it is, its gameplay and pixel-perfect graphics are certainly the stars of the show so check it out if you dig 2D action games.
