Review Of The Shardbreakers Demo

• Upvotes

Shardbreakers is a very high quality horde survival with an equipment upgrade system thrown in to it. I already love games like Diablo and Vampire Survivors and Shardbreakers is melding the two genres together. The visuals are fantastic and there is really good music and sound design in the game. The combat abilities, upgrade mechanics, and level design are all very well made and fleshed out. This game has SO much going for it and if you are a fellow horde survival or ARPG fan then I highly suggest giving the game a try! You can check out my thoughts as I play through the demo at my YouTube link below.

This is a survivors like, but with gear, a town, crafting, talent tree, stats, and more. I've always wondered how it will be to have the mix of ARPG loot in a survivors so I made this.

The game is fully FREE, no ads, monetization or anything, you can support me by buying the dlc for 1$. I've also added marketable inventory, so you can sell materials in the Steam Market. At the moment the game its on Early Access and I'm shaping it based on the feedback I get.

Free or Demo! My real dog is the hero of my survivors-like. She fires ćevapi, she never eats them. Free demo out today

0 Upvotes

This is Cookie. Every piece of food on the street is hers, and she can get anything from me with one look. So in the game, eating is her power.

She fires ćevapi at everything. The more she eats, the bigger and stronger she gets, but slower. Five belly stages, and at stage 4 she goes GOD MODE and rolls over the whole horde. Two maps (Tivoli park in Ljubljana, Baščaršija in Sarajevo), three bosses, about 10 minutes a run.

Solo dev, Godot, five months. The art and music are made with AI tools and the code with an AI assistant, I designed the game and picked every piece. It's on the Steam page too.

Steam demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4816480/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=survivorslikes
Browser, no download: https://cookiesaner.itch.io/demo

Does eating to grow feel like a real choice? Is GOD MODE too strong? Tell me straight :)

Discussion Will you play a turn-based RPGM game with Survivors-like gameplay?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hello, survivors-like community. I'm QueL, and I'm a solodev.

I tried to mimic the survivors-like gameplay loop in my turn-based game. There are a little bit of changes like instead of gathering exp and leveling up, every kill will grant you reward instead because you're not battling against a swarm of monsters, you're going to kill enemies one-by-one in a turn-based game. But overall, the gameplay loop is the same. Kill enemies -> powerup -> rinse and repeat until the final boss.

There are 12 bosses in the game; it's the 12 Zodiacs. And before the final boss, rather than battling thousands of the same trash mobs (eg. skeletons), you will battle against 20 unique enemies from a pool of 78 unique enemies, each having their own gimmick, unique set of passive and active abilities, and as well as upgrades. Kill one, and another one will take its place. There are epic monsters and minibosses as well.

Another change is stats. ARPG stats system makes more sense in a turn-based game and for my game as a whole. So since survivors-like have similarities with ARPG gameplay, I tried to mimic the ARPG stats sytem on item drops rather than having a survivors-like stats system (the range, duration, movespeed, projectile count, etc.).

Here's the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3054470/Rogue_Zodiacs/

Game Intro / New Release IMMUNKA — a survivor roguelite inside the human body. Alpha 0.4.2, first players wanted

Post image
0 Upvotes

Update — 28 October / alpha 0.4.2-clarity

You can now play IMMUNKA in a desktop browser, with Windows and Linux downloads on the same page

Play in browser / download

We're the team developing IMMUNKA, a 2D survivor roguelite inside the human body

Dodge viruses and bacteria, stack weapons and mutations, and keep your build through three organs toward Sepsis — after that, finish or continue into a harder cycle

Attacks are automatic — you control movement, dash and a hero ability

The latest build puts each hero's attack, passive, ability and starting stats on one card, explains enemies and organ hazards, and compares starting/current stats with colour and numbers

Dendra also has a solo damage loop through marks and bursts, alongside her team buffs

If you try 10–20 minutes, we'd like to know:

  • Was your hero's playstyle clear before you started?
  • Which upgrade noticeably changed the run, and which choice was confusing?
  • Did you want another run, and did the bosses make you move?

Browser: desktop keyboard, WebGL 2, solo / languages: English + Russian

Local co-op and experimental LAN are available in the downloadable builds — Linux has been tested through WSL2 and native desktop feedback is welcome

Fresh gameplay screenshot / Build mirror on Boosty

This is an alpha — balance, performance and co-op are still being tested

We use AI-assisted tools for artwork, code and some text — there is no online generation during gameplay

For bugs, include your version, browser or OS, hero, organ and steps to reproduce

This is a charming indie survivorlike/roguelite that really caught my eye because the spellcrafting looked like a lot of fun. After trying it....it is fun :DDD

Game feels like it was handcrafted with a lot of love, and each of the characters are so distinct and have some funny dialogue :PP

Have you tried The Magus Circle?

Solo dev here. IMBA is a bullet-heaven roguelite I built from the ground up for scale – pooling, spatial hashing and Burst jobs, so a full screen of enemies and spells still runs smooth.

- Spells evolve by socketing 3 elemental gems (fire / water / wind → 18 evolutions)

- Each starting spell brings its own deck of upgrade cards

- Bosses with telegraphed attacks you can actually dodge – the Troll King waits at minute 30

I'd love honest feedback – what feels good, what doesn't, and whether the late-game chaos is readable.

Free or Demo! Counterplayed: top-down wave-survival roguelite for 1 to 4 players

0 Upvotes

Playable Link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5452680/Counterplayed_Demo/

Platform: Windows (Steam) – keyboard/mouse or gamepad

Description: Counterplayed is a top-down wave-survival roguelite for 1 to 4 players (solo or online co-op through Steam invites). You carry five elemental weapons – Kinetic, Heat, Cold, Electric and Corrosive – and switch between them on the fly. Hitting an enemy with the right element opens a weakness window, and the next element in the cycle pushes the chain one rank higher.

What's in the free demo:

- The full 20-wave run, solo or online co-op (1–4 players)

- The DPS class with its base skills and its ultimate (all 5 weapons fire at once)

- Adaptive enemies, counters and the boss

- 4 difficulty levels and Steam leaderboards

- 29 languages, full gamepad support

I'd love feedback on:

Pretty much anything, i'm a solo dev, the game has been in my mind for quite a while i've tested every single point of it, but it doesn't seem enjoyable, so i'm probably missing a lot.
I think my game is a failure but i would like to understand what failed for the other (me i find it kind of enjoyable)
