May 2025
I’m really enjoying my playthrough of 9th Dawn Remake so far. It’s a fun blend of different genres, combining elements of classic RPGs, dungeon crawlers, and creature collecting. The game has some strong Diablo vibes, with a lot of overworld exploration, dungeon diving, and mob grinding, which I love. I also appreciate the layer of creature collection and evolution, which adds a strategic element and gives me a reason to experiment with different builds. It’s a cool feature, and I’m having a lot of fun with it. That said, the gear system feels a bit lackluster in comparison. I’m just starting to understand the upgrade system, but the game doesn’t do a great job of explaining it. I didn’t even realize how to use my crafting materials until I hit the second or third major boss and had to backtrack to figure it out. I’m still not entirely sure how to upgrade armor, as it seems I can only upgrade weapons at the anvil, which feels odd. If armor upgrades are possible, the game hasn’t made it clear how to access them, which is a bit frustrating. This leads into a broader issue I have with the game: it sometimes leaves too much for the player to figure out on their own. While I appreciate games that respect my ability to problem-solve, it would be nice if 9th Dawn Remake nudged me a bit more naturally toward its various systems. Instead, I feel like I’m hitting difficulty walls, having to backtrack and rummage through my inventory, hoping to find a solution. It’s not the most intuitive approach, and it breaks the flow of the game a bit. The lack of ability descriptions is another sticking point. Ability points seem fairly rare, and yet the abilities themselves only have names and point costs, with no descriptions of what they actually do. This makes building an efficient character challenging, as I have no idea what I’m investing in until I spend the points. For example, destruction abilities are particularly vague—I have no clue about their range, duration, or other effects beyond a simple +1 or +2 upgrade. This lack of transparency feels like a missed opportunity, as it makes it harder to commit to a particular build without more information. Additionally, I’m leaning toward a mage build, and I’m starting to worry that staves might be underpowered compared to martial weapons, though I haven’t fully tested this yet. The weapon and armor variety is also limited, lacking the randomized stats and effects you’d find in something like Diablo or Torchlight, where even identical-looking gear can have vastly different properties. I would have loved to see a similar approach here, as it keeps the gear grind interesting. The game does play well on Steam Deck, though. I’ve optimized my controls, and it’s feeling pretty tight now. However, I’ve found myself moving away from the first-person perspective as I unlock more spells. Destruction spells, in particular, can completely cover the screen, making it hard to see enemies, which only have tiny red health bars to indicate their location. It’s a bit chaotic, especially when my six creatures and my summon are swarming the enemy. A toggle for higher visibility or transparency options for spell effects would be a nice addition. The minigames are another mixed bag. I appreciate the nods to Vampire Survivors and Slay the Spire, but these sections feel a bit tedious, especially the Slay the Spire-style card game, which can drag on for too long. I’d prefer a more streamlined, quicker-paced alternative, something that doesn’t pull me out of the main game for quite as long. On the positive side, I do like that the game encourages me to revisit old areas by blocking certain paths with tough bosses. It gives me a reason to double back and explore, which I appreciate. Overall, I’m really enjoying 9th Dawn Remake so far. It runs great on the Steam Deck, the combat is satisfying, and the creature collection system adds a unique twist. There are definitely some rough edges, but I’m excited to keep pushing forward and see what else the game has in store.

I played 9th Dawn III before this one. What can I say? Just a few hours in and this is already a massive upgrade on all fronts. Co-op is fun, less grind overall, a lot more QoL and gameplay features. GOTY IMO. Although Hard difficulty could use a little bit of a re-balance. Monsters are sponges. UPD: After almost 30 hours there is a little bit to add. 1) Game is not polished like release version should be, there are still minor bugs, inconveniences, missing QoL features. 2) Card game is a banger for what its worth. Not much changes with progress through dungeons, but it is fun and enjoyable time at least in co-op. Could use some more difficulty, right now you could almost play blindfolded and win 3) Fishing Survivors is bad. Absolutely nothing changes, it's the same experience every time you launch it. There is one good thing about it - doesn't take too much time to clear a level. 4) Dungeons are good, but sometimes too frustrating because you gotta find the map. Some dungeons give you the map right off the bat, but others give 4-way crossroad, and you have no idea where the map is. There were times where we cleared 100% of the dungeon and then found the map. It doesn't completely ruin the experience, but it's still disappointing. 5) Filling journal entries became much easier compared to 9th dawn 3. 6) Money is worthless. Even before midgame you get so much money you can't even spend it until the end of the game. And if you think you could use some more - hop in Fishing Survivors a.k.a silver farming simulator. Overall I enjoy the game very much, there is a lot to discover and do, but man, don't abandon your game in the state like this. It's fully playable but could really use some polish and re-balancing.

Its a hack and slash, dungeon crawler with a lot of loot, some mini games and a cool story. The game plays great on Steam Deck and the developer is highly active and adding new features.

My first exposure to the 9th Dawn franchise and it is some of the most fun games I've played with a whole host of mini games and gameplay depth. It even has a 2 player coop. I'm not sure if the solo dev is getting enough sleep but 30 updates in 5 days? You've earned my respect.

I went into this not knowing what 9th Dawn is at all, but did do a little research to find out it’s a long running series with a bunch of fans. I can confidently say so far that I can see why. 9th Dawn Remake has beautiful pixel art visuals and the main game is a dungeon crawler looter that plays a lot like Diablo but also includes creature collecting/taming elements where you hatch eggs for pets that fight alongside you and evolve over time. You can choose to do traditional top down third person, or the new first person mode which makes the game feel even bigger in scope due to perspective, and that’s not to say this is a tiny game either. I’ve noticed people in the past entries have put in 80-200 hours and I’m sure this game is no different as I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface. 9th Dawn Remake also includes two other full games within itself, a Slay the Spire like deck building roguelike, and a vampire survivors clone that has its own unique twists. I’ve already found myself to be hooked on both and will definitely be spending a lot of time within them. If you want a well crafted game that I can tell a lot of love has gone into, and bang for your buck, then grab 9th Dawn Remake. I have a feeling you won’t be disappointed. Side note: so far my play time has been on steam deck and the game runs beautifully out of the box, steady 60fps so far with no issues
