First, it's $3.50 on sale right now, and my coffee this morning cost twice that. Even if you hate it you didn't spend a ton of money on it. A very well-designed traditional roguelike. The pixel graphics are pretty and there are a lot of options during character creation. If you look at the other reviews you'll get a pretty good idea of what the game is like and why people love or hate it. It is punishingly hard and you very much need to (a) use your consumable items, (b) find and recruit allies in the dungeon, (c) run away, and (d) die a lot. I use blink potions a lot, which are basically teleport-away in a bottle. Hiding in a dark corner and healing up is a part of life in this one. It is very random so sometimes you get an incredible "holy bardiche on fire +2" that can smack stuff two squares away, and other times you are fighting with a stick for half the level. Similarly, sometimes you find a panther at the entrance to Level 2 that can leap on you and cuts through plate armor like it's paper, and other times you will beat a horde of garbage enemies that level you up. The main issue is that when you enter a new floor you can't go back up, so you often get trapped by a horde of archers and summons at the start of a new level. While there are items that can help you escape, you are likely going to be wandering blind through a new dungeon and running into lots of bad guys. I assume this gets less bad after about Level 4 of the dungeon, but honestly... I haven't made it that far. I'm going thumbs up because I am having a good time, but it may not be everyone's cup of drain cleaner.
Absolutely brilliant Roguelike. I haven't managed to play anywhere near as much as I'd like yet, but every time I dive in it blows my mind. It's the only Roguelike that feels like a living, breathing environment. A special callout has to made for the incredible sound design. It's at once deeply creepy and completely hilarious at the same time! Just fabulous.
I have spent a lot of time playing this game. A concerning amount of time if you consider that I bought it less than a month ago. I don't have too much experience with traditional roguelikes, my past with the genre is mostly limited to a period a year or so ago when I got really into Angband for a bit, but a little while ago I got an itch for something similar. I was mostly looking at FOSS options and initially wrote Zorbus off, didn't seem like what I was after, but on a second look something about it got me. The Steam page just felt so... real. Grounded. I could tell this was someone's passion project, something they'd wrought to put out to the world. I felt a sort of kinship, even, as this is a path I plan to tread someday myself. It was only like 5 bucks, so what the hell, I thought. Folks, this game ♥♥♥♥♥. It hits a sweet balance of complexity between something like Brogue (very minimal) and... everything else I've played. I'd say Zorbus is especially good for newcomers to the genre, thanks both to its scale and to its getting rid of some mechanics that can often put forth a deal of friction, such as item identification and hunger. Don't think it has nothing for people more familiar, though, as Zorbus still has plenty of depth to it. Something about Zorbus is that it feels uniquely "fair" compared to other roguelikes I've played (though maybe I was just bad at them), which is to say, once you get over an initial hump that is the first few dungeon levels, it feels like it's pretty hard to die if you take things slowly and carefully, barring some careless mistake. There I think Zorbus differs in its endgame, as while other games felt like the big challenge was to beat them at all , Zorbus wants you to beat it well . The game has a scoring system with online leaderboards, so once you've gotten a handle of it and feel like you can beat it with some confidence, the game dares you to do it better. Do it faster , which means you forgo that safety that playing slowly and carefully yields you, to an extent. Finding the right balance between speed and still growing strong enough to survive becomes the challenge. Of course, there are lots of other things to play with before this becomes the main goal, like playing the many different races and trying different builds (which is what the bulk of my time has been spent on). What else is there to say about Zorbus? The dungeon really does feel alive, with interesting layouts and characters that behave in engaging ways. Both friends and foes make quips that are sometimes just flavour but very often make genuine sense given the context. The game has a fair bit of lore that feels consistent and a host of cheeky references to other related media and more meta jokes about the greater genre as a whole. The game has well-documented mechanics and the developer is a swell fellow who actively engages with the community. It's zorbtacular, simple as that.
