Feb. 2025
I started playing this game because people on reddit recommended it as a traditional roguelike for people who are either unfamiliar with the genre, or who find the demands of learning a trad roguelike to be offputting (me). This game is streamlined in a beautiful way and while I'm sure it leads to its own issues, it's a very pleasant experience. You can use just keyboard, just controller, just mouse, or a combination. You don't need to micro-manage the items you pick up, the game manages them for you automatically. Reading bits of lore you pick up is purely optional. Engaging with the story is mostly done by talking to NPCs, which I largely skip but I like that A) the option is there for players who want to see more of the world and B) it's non-essential for players like me. This is clearly the work of a developer who loves the genre, understands what makes it fun, and wants to provide the easiest entry possible. I've played 14 hours and I've gotten a few wins so far, all on Easy, but it is a difficult game even then. Its difficulty challenges your decision-making in a way that feels fair and rewarding. I can't remember feeling like I've lost a run due purely to luck, it has almost always been some sort of mistake or misunderstanding on my part. I've encountered no bugs, everything just works. It's remarkably easy to get into and I would absolutely recommended it for anyone with an interest in this kind of game. If you're a hardcore traditional rougelike player, this game's systems may be less sophisticated than you're used to. That could be a deal-breaker for some but I still think, if you like the genre, this one is worth trying.

Pretty fun simple turn-based roguelike with an interesting dual-role mechanic and plenty of classes to experiment with.

A fun traditional roguelike that isn't afraid to twist some conventions to make a fresh and tight game. Great pixel art and theme, and who doesn't love vampires?

It's a good roguelike and well polished by a developer who is obviously a solid student of game design, but regrettably I think it's just a little bit too short and lacking in depth to be satisfying for me as a "traditional" roguelike, speaking as a longtime fan of the genre. I understand this was no doubt an intentional design choice, but I must say I found myself missing the epic adventure part of rogueliking while playing Golden Krone Hotel even as I was very much enjoying not having my ass kicked quite so frequently as would be normal. You may find yourself missing this a little bit too if you are a fan of the oldschool. It's a title that's more approachable for a new generation and a new era, for better and for worse. The part that's better is the fact that it really is supremely approachable. The part that's worse is the reality that while you might be deluded into believing you've had a special little world generated for you in Golden Krone Hotel (as is one of the principle charms of the genre), the reality is that you are having an experience very much similar to many other players before you, the procedural generation is not quite deep enough for the principle game play experience to truly vary. To me it feels kinda roguelite minus the meta progression somehow, rather than a trad roguelike. If you are looking for a modern roguelike experience with a low barrier to entry, this will scratch the itch, but I don't think it's going to carve out a legendary space in anyone's lifetime gaming history like say the effort of getting into ADOM or ToME. So it's worth a look for fans of the genre, people interested but having a hard time "getting" it, and for students of game design. Doubtful it will take the place of one of the majors in the play rosters of long-term fans, but I also don't think there's anything wrong with that. Not every experience has to be one for a lifetime, and I think it's just the reality that this is more one of those titles that you play for a while and it's great fun but the inevitable depth trade offs surrounding a low barrier to entry also mean it doesn't quite have the secret sauce for the truly legendary moments that the more brutal and unapproachable titles do (nor, in very much a good way, the same frustrations). Definitely worth the price.
