Great game for couch coop with the family. One player can carry all the others. Skill floor is low enough that smaller children can play, but the ceiling is pretty high so it is engaging for parents. Its combo system feels a lot like a simpler Brawlhalla built for the Beat 'em Up genre. For couch coop, the game play loop is very satisfying, but I can see how this game could get stale if played regularly. Its weapons don't quite have the combo variety to scratch that Brawlhalla itch and its on-screen enemy count is just low enough that it is difficult to consistently chain long hit streaks. As a result, half of the rooms in each adventure end up being a bit boring for adults. But again, if you are just trying to successfully carry some six-year-olds through a game, that is not entirely a bad thing. I will say that the focus hit system is a creative addition to the genre and it is quite satisfying to chase; I found myself actually wanting move speed bonuses because of how important positioning is to consistently deal double damage. All of my controllers worked fine. When a controller disconnected, the game paused to allow reconnecting. When the game bugged out, there was a button in the menu that allowed us to reset the current room. I never felt any frustration getting into a game or staying in a game, which is important for dealing with smaller children. My kids are five and six and enjoyed the basic game play loop, but are too young to really engage with the talent tree, focus hit system, or any of the other mechanics. A key frustration point is selecting new talents at the end of every other room because the adults want to choose carefully, but the children cannot participate beyond randomly grabbing one and feel left out. As a additional result, children end up quite under-powered by the end of the run and this can also be quite frustrating for them. But despite these problems, the overall game play loop and cute art seems to be more than enough to keep my kids engaged and wanting to play more. I would strongly recommend this game if your use case is similar to mine.

People are complaining of price increase. I find this absurd. Klei is doing what I've heard of most Early Access games. Please, do not review bomb a good game, because price is increased. I do not know how game development economy works. Game is an entertainment to me and Klei is very good at their job. But, this I can tell. Most early access games have their price increased as they continue to develop. They add more contents, more mechanics and more everything. So, the price is also increased for the more everything. This is logical. This is not something to review bomb a game. Furthermore, Klei regularly communicate with their fans. I'm sure they've told you at some point that the price is going to be increased and what the new price will be. You should have bought the game then. I bought it when it still costed 5 USD. Now, it's 8 USD. When it was 5 USD, people complained about grinding. Now, I do not see people complaining about grinding. They are simply review bombing because, with improved gameplay mechanics, came improved pricing. I can't help. but laugh at people's absurdity. This is an Early Access game. So, even the price is "Early Access". If you want a cheaper game, wait for full development of the game. Once the game has sold enough copies and is old enough, you can expect a reduction in price, at least, here on Steam. Steam sells games for cheap compared to other platforms.

This game is genuinely really stellar, even in it's (currently) incomplete state. It's a blast with friends or solo! Pros: + The weapons are engaging and fun to learn, use, and eventually master. Very similar to Hades' different Infernal/Nocturnal Arms, with bonus slight variations of each weapon to discover and use as well! + The powerups (while currently not too high in abundance) are wonderful and allow for a lot of fun and interesting strategies and synergies in the vein of any great roguelike game. + The artstyle is extremely cute <3 + The characters, while currently lacking in having much extra dialogue, are fun to interact with for the short amount of things to say they do provide. I wanna give Flitt a hug! (And you can tell him I said that!) Cons: - I wish there was more! I'm excited!! 7.5/10, easily with the potential to be a 10/10 when fully completed :)

Incredible fun for my family of four, kids ages 4-7. If you love 4-player shared screen COOP games, this is the absolute best. We’ve played games of the like: Lost Castle, Castle Crashes, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Stick Fight The Game, It Takes 2, but Rotwood is my favorite. I absolutely love the RPG style and attention to detail. Of all the games we’ve played this game is the least punishing for less experienced players, but at the same time the most challenging for experienced players. How the developers achieved such a skills balance is impeccable to me. It’s clear so much thought and detail went into creating this game. There is so much customization! We are having so much fun and I know you will too. 10/10 recommend. P.S. I never leave reviews!

Rotwood's a blast to play co-op, my partner and I play split screen on the TV using the steam deck and it runs great 60fps at 1080p. It feels like a Hades "light" with significantly less story and a different "feel" to the combat that is still surprisingly still deep. The local split screen co-op was the main reason I picked up this game and in that regard for short sessions (2-3 runs) it's good fun! I hope as development continues (it's in EA) they add more content (weapons, bioms, enemies, story/npc) and this will keep the game feeling fresh, Overall if you're looking for a Hades-light local split screen coop experience this game is already fun as is and has the potential to be great!
