RemiLore: Lost Girl in the Lands of Lore

RemiLore proves itself to be a well-made and inoffensive loot grind of an RPG; consider giving this one a look.

RemiLore lays a decent groundwork in terms of gameplay and design, but it never really goes beyond that. Combat is simple and promising, but the lack of depth makes it hard to stay engaged with it for very long. The visuals, likewise, lack any kind of unique punch or distinct art style to make them stand out as anything other than generic. The game is helped by its forgiving nature and the likable pair of protagonists you control, but a bit more care and effort could have helped make this game something truly special.

RemiLore is not a bad game, it's more of a missed opportunity, because the gameplay loop feels familiar and funny just in small doses and there's a complete lack of innovations, enemy variety and customization.

This is actually a very enjoyable game, particularly when played in coop, but it feels quite simple and easy. A deeper gameplay and a more challenging difficulty would have made it a much better experience.

RemiLore gets the mechanics for a fun dungeon crawler down, but does little to hold a player’s attention.

RemiLore: Lost Girl in the Lands of Lore is a new 'hack and slash' RPG that combines challenging levels with a bland variation in characters.

Boasting a wonderful story that is sadly betrayed by repetitive gameplay and an unfair system in which dying means a huge loss of progress, RemiLore: Lost Girl in the Lands of Lore is only recommended if you’re serious about your dungeon crawling experiences.

RemiLore: Lost Girl in the Lands of Lore is a pretty basic hack-and-slash that offers some interesting levelling up options, but the lack of depth in both the story and combat leaves it feeling a little empty. Despite the great story premise, and a fun choice of character with Lore, the pages just feel a little empty to this book.

Although it features a unique premise and a solid blend of genres, RemiLore's core gameplay is simply too monotonous to remain fun.

RemiLore just doesn’t have enough variety to stay interesting for more than a few minutes. Though the characters are mildly entertaining with an impressive amount of dialogue to flesh out their interactions, there’s just too much you need to put up with to get to the good parts of the game. Rogue-lite and Action RPG are two crowded genres, and RemiLore unfortunately decided to tackle them both without covering even the basics of what makes either interesting in the first place.

Nicalis offers us a game that simplifies the most usual mechanics of hack'n'slash and combines them with the procedural creation of levels. In the end, however, it lacks skills and weapons that diversify the gameplay, which ends up being repetitive and, therefore, boring.

RemiLore is a simple effort and there's nothing wrong with that per se - the game features a good looking visual environment and some interesting ideas, the problem is putting them into practice without forcing the player into an experience that feels dull and repetitive...and that's exactly what ends up happening, as RemiLore does not have the assets to deliver an involving experience.

Combine the uninspired enemies and level design with a checkpoint system that’s more than happy to erase half an hour of progress if you die midway through a run, and you’ll find that RemiLore becomes a game that’s more tedium than fun.
