    City of Brass is a fun and swashbuckling adventure that gets seriously hamstrung by its clumsy and sluggish controls. Recommended to any masochist out there who wants to get punished on the go and doesn't mind looking past some issues.

    City of Brass is a very ambitious game that could’ve been something truly amazing, but its lack of gameplay options ultimately make it feel frustrating and uninspiring to play. As such, it is a difficult title to recommend.

    On the PC, City of Brass is a tough but fair experience that draws inspiration from some of the best games in the genre, but the Switch port pulls the shortest straw. It’s worth picking up, but mostly for City of Brass fans who will endure a hampered version of the game for portability’s sake.

    City of Brass has a great whip, but the rest of the game could do with some polish.

I loved the rogue-lite style of this plunder/explore/escape game. It has a lot of interesting systems and characters that are fun to explore. Addictive gameplay loop, and I recommend it to anyone who likes action-adventure with a good dose of rogue-lite! Full Review »
