Oct 19, 2020ScourgeBringer is a wonderfully slick and addictive roguelite adventure that flings its players headlong into non-stop frenetic combat and never lets up. This is an unapologetically tough game and if you struggle with the constant repetition and death inherent in the roguelite genre you may find it all a little hard to put up with. However, if you're not put off by a challenge, or if you're a Celeste or Dead Cells fan who is craving more, what Flying Oak Games has conjured up with this one is sure to absolutely delight.

Oct 27, 2020ScourgeBringer offers everything you’d want from a roguelite experience. Fast-paced gameplay, amazing visuals and soundtrack, and understandable systems round out a truly enjoyable experience. Some button-heavy combat and hardcore difficulty aren’t enough to damper the fun to be had in this top-notch action-platformer.
-
Oct 19, 2020For fans of the genre, ScourgeBringer is an absolute must-play though, if only because it offers such a steep challenge to accompany those lovely, lovely visuals. It may not be the most original concept, but what it does it does very well.

Feb 20, 2021The combat is fun and the combos available make the experience more engaging, while the game's presentation is a charm to look at, with extra points for its phenomenal soundtrack. At the same time, ScourgeBringer has nothing particularly new that can set it apart from its roguelite peers, and its difficulty level can sometimes feel unnecessarily exaggerated.

Nov 25, 2020Another challenger in the crowded action-roguelite genre, ScourgeBringer delivers a challenging quest blended in lightning-fast gameplay.
-
Nov 2, 2020Fast-paced shooter/slasher mix with great fight mechanics. If you don’t shy away from repetition and a multitude of deaths, this is definitely for you.
-
Oct 22, 2020As expected, ScourgeBringer is a well-balanced and dynamic Rogue-lite. Thanks to a fast-paced action and a complete set of moves, Kyhra's adventure through this sometime repetitive but nervous environment makes us want to go for another run almost every time.

Oct 29, 2020ScourgeBringer has a mostly enjoyable flow to it and some great visuals, if you can see them in the chaos. However, it’s joining the cavalcade of roguelites around at the moment, and brings little new to the table, outside of some often burdensome bullet hell elements. If you’ve got an itch for recurring death and frustration, this will definitely satisfy for a time, but there are far better examples of the genre out there.

Nov 3, 2020Failing to have a great replayability and to vary the gaming experiences, ScourgeBringer offers players twenty hours of a challenge as hard as it is satisfying.

Oct 21, 2020Kinetic action, beautiful, horrible pixel-art and a sense of place that stays with you - this is a dark treat. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Feb 18, 2023Frantic, messy, and ugly. Nothing stands out about this game other than how rough it is visually and how frail the main character feels to play as.
