It alright. Very similar, if significantly more relaxed in pace, gameplay loop to ror2 or roboquest with an admittedly unique if sometimes trifling retinue of mechanics and academic aesthetic. Since it's pretty indie and clearly impassioned, I think it would be unfair to nitpick, but it's not all that standout. Nevertheless, for the entry price and the variety it poses, I'd def still recommend it if you're looking for another 3d arena-style roguelike shooter.

Having just 100% the game - still have hard modes to do - I do highly recommend this game if you are looking for a solo 'Risk of Rain 2' style rogue-like. I have an awesome time with some wild builds like an Atlas that generates more Survey than it consumes, or infinite dashes that each spread Blot. The Pages of Power feel fun and impactful, and often lead to unique play styles each run, even when using the same Ink color and skills, and there is a great variety of mission types to choose from that each have a different interesting pattern to them. The two biggest problems are lack of in-game chat, and no multiplayer lobby. This makes it basically single player unless you have friends in discord, because your only form of communication with the other Scribes you are randomly paired with is jumping, strafing, and pinging. This is a huge miss given how many sick combos of Ink and Skill and Page choices that are enhanced by having other Scribes with you. It's been a blast playing with friends, talking about our power ups and comparing stats at the end of the run, and being able to do that with other players would really break this game open and increase replayability. My other, smaller gripes are that Quillmarks seem useless after 30, the non combat stages and movement based bonus objectives are often just frustrating (to me) given how the Scribes move, and Pages that say 'Some' or "Occasionally" or "Often" ect should have the % listed. Very fun game, give it a working multiplayer and it could pop off

A decent 3D roguelite with a unique and pleasing theme. The main hub looks gorgeous, but the level design falls short compared to something like Roboquest. With no branching paths or alternative approaches, the arena-style maps feel a bit lacking. Still, Vellum is worth checking out if you enjoy the theme.

an enjoyable roguelike experience, only downside is not enough online players to get multiplayer sessions going.

It’s as perfect as any new co-op fps roguelite needs to be with the expectation that developers continue to expand it. The ceiling for what it could be is extremely high in my opinion. Between the library which is basically “home base” between runs where you customize your load out or adjust different trade offs for the color you choose. It’s full of puzzles and Easter eggs that you can customize (personally would LOVE to explore more of it with some kind of progressional lore system because it’s aesthetically beautiful.) There’s multiple ways to tune the difficulty or mechanics of each run. All classes (colors) can load up with your choice from the same arsenal of abilities one generates mana the other spends it, and one is a movement ability but each color interacts with them differently while having their own set of passives and an ultimate. Another thing I love is most of these games have point where your character “goes infinite,” meaning something about your build after enough upgrades during the run does something stupid and absurd like insane speed or damage output, wild projectile amounts or sizes to where it seems unreal and overpowered. Usually it takes quite a long run to achieve that level of thrill, here it happens in 30ish mins with a twist. If you think you’re good enough you can adjust it so the enemies are also going infinite and not in a cheap “quantity and hp” type…..with a friend or two flying around at high speed with enemies charging at us with abilities that can also be the size of the map it’s quick fun thrill that we keep comin back to. Again, I’d love to see more abilities and colors and general progression. It’s still newish as of posting this but ohhhh man do I see where it could go with some love.
