TLDR: Excellent Rogue-lite dungeon crawler with fantastic variety of builds/playstyles. Bosses are some of the best I've seen in similar genres with multi-stage fights. Good meta progression and highly encouraging to replay. Fairly short game to reach credits, and small issues with translations. Magic Rune Stone is one of the more action heavy Rogue-lites I've played where unlike similar games of its genre, you cannot just sit idle upgrading passive skills to do the damage for you. You are always actively attacking, dodging, activating skills and so on to survive, and honestly it plays fantastically as a result and really separates itself from games that are similar because of that. There is enough build variety depending on which character you start off as that would determine how you play, from melee, to ranged, to active skill heavy play styles, and so on. With 5 playable characters (6 after beating the first run), there's enough to experiment with on multiple runs, and you're encouraged to, since each run contributes to obtaining resources that go towards various permanent upgrades which include passive and active skills, weapon drops, and currency to lock off skills and weapons for future runs. The controls are very responsive, and they need to be since a lot can happen on screen, and everything you do in combat is actively fighting against enemies. I cannot emphasise enough how much I ADORE the boss fights in this game. Every boss has their own set of unique attack patterns and gimmicks, and many of them have multiple stages; So even if you take down their health bar, get ready for round 2-3. The final boss of the game truly lived up to the hype of an end-game boss fight: Multiple stages, multiple waves of minions, every character that was part of the story gets involved in the fight by contributing passive skills, dropping weapons/skills for you to pick up, upgrading your current equipment, and more. A single run on normal difficulty would take approximately 15-20 minutes. I managed to finish at least one run per character and fight the final boss within 4 hours before credits rolled, so the main story is fairly short. That said, this type of game is supposed to be played for endless multiple runs, where you're encouraged to engage with the meta progression system to unlock more weapons, skills, and even play ascension and survival modes outside of the main story. Options menu is fairly bare bones. Just some sliders for sound effects and music, and in terms of graphics menu there's not much outside of resolution and FPS limitations, but that's not so much of an issue since the game is 2d pixel art the whole way. There is support for controller (Xbox and Playstation controller) but with a PS controller I needed to enable steam input to get full functionality. Control mapping is for Xbox, which was a bit annoying since I mainly use my PS5 controller, and during dialogue the "advance conversation" button was mapped to the space bar on PC. My biggest critisms of the game would have to be that there are some texts that are lost in translation where an English word may not have been translated correctly (e.g. "Physical damage" is mistranslated to "Physics damage"), or some words are not translated at all and remain in Chinese. When characters are talking to each other, their dialogue is a bit like broken English where what they're saying doesn't fully make sense, although characters only really talk at the start and end of the game. Thankfully most of the texts are few and far inbetween and it's understandable what items and skills do since they are basic concepts that could be understood at a glance (e.g. increased damage, cooldown reduction, etc.). Another critism I have is that some ranged attacks can occur off-screen and are not telegraphed before they fire. This can result in getting hit and ending runs unceremoniously, which can damper the experience. Overall, I can easily recommend this game. For the price it's being sold at, it feels like an absolute steal with how much this game gets right compared to similar games.
Latest Edit: After beating normal mode I gained access to things that increase the difficulty so now the game is fun if I turn it way up. Bro whoever thought to give a slime a susanoo is hilarious Only one thing needs to change to make this review positive. The animations and sprites are nice, the equipment and skills are interesting, and overall the combat would be fun... if they nerfed shield regen. The shield regen in this is so overpowered that I have to actively be trying to die for a run to end. That is making everything else unsatisfying. All you gotta do is either change it so that you can either regen only a certain amount of shield per level or at the beginning of each level you get a certain amount of shield. Currently shield regen is just an overtime thing so unless you're getting hit every five seconds, nothing is gonna touch your health. Edit: I just got a victory in my second run :(
Substantially better than what i was expecting from a game that's under $10. The different playable characters is where this game really shines. Each is incredibly unique and can be built a number of ways with an in-run skill tree that defines you character's unique ability, as well as 4 generic abilities found in the run that evolve based on the equipment and their tags or "Blessings" as they're called in this game. Even though it was short to beat, i really liked all that the main game has to offer. Every enemy has unique attacks and movements, and all he bosses feel very different. There's also a whole lot of extra content in the form of increased difficulty modifiers and a survival mode. Although, personally i think the survival mode is actually where this game fell short. It changed the core mechanics just enough to be awkward to play and i don't really see myself getting much from it.
