(Review) Slime Fantasy

I think that even if “killing you” platformers aren’t your thing, the low entry price and the love clearly put into Slime Fantasy is worth a try.

Rougelites are aplenty almost everywhere now and developers need something to set themselves apart. Afterburner Studios has crafted something different here with Dreamscaper and they’ve done it well.

There is a fair bit of use to the time-stopping ability that stops it from feeling like a gimmick and I’m happy to see they struck that note just right.

Maybe it’s the “pixelated Metroidvania” aspect of the game, but I felt right at home.

“… wherever you are, whoever’s face your blade meets, it’s still a joy to kill all of the things and that fact helps me gloss over a lot of the issues I have with the game.”

Swag & Sorcery appeared to be everything I’ve wanted out of a management/RPG sim, but ends up working like any other number of grindy phone apps that I’ve begrudgingly deleted after a few days.

What is here is impressive and if the whole game holds up what this first chapter has built, it’s going to be an awesome ride.

In the grim dark future, there is only loot. To get said loot, one must travel through dungeons and reek chaos and death up on evil baddies until you beat the loot out of them! This seems about right.
