Neophyte is a game where you use your collection of abilities and buffs to cull a horde of dudes. It's not an interesting premise, but it's one of my favorite games due to how engaging it is at all times. The requirements to beat Neophyte can split up into two key skills; build-making and split-second decision making. Making a good build and understand how to play it is important to clearing out enemies efficiently, and being comfortable with the game's base mechanics (knowing when to dash, when to use defensive spells, etc) is important to surviving short bursts of intense damage. But the critical thing to understand is that your decision making cannot fully make up for your poor build-making, and vice versa. If there are too many enemies, it doesn't matter how good you are at the game, you'll still die. If you're taking a lot of damage, it doesn't matter how good your build is, you'll still die. This is ultimately why I keep coming back to Neophyte, because it doesn't let me automatically win even if I get an incredibly powerful build, or if I get good enough at the base mechanics with a subpar build. I'm still liable to take massive damage if I don't take the right precautions, and there's still interesting decisions to be made in my builds. The abilities never read as "crazy," but they're valuable puzzle pieces that you can choose to add to your build, and they're consistent, too. There can be a spell in your arsenal that has no synergy with the rest of your collection, but is still important because it plays a valuable role in your gameplan. This is the principle that I think makes games like Slay the Spire phenomenal; not forcing the player to make a "burn" build, or a "attack speed" build. These games punish you for thinking in that simple manner, and I really enjoy it. This game hasn't been updated in a while, and the developer has stated that there aren't any more updates planned. But like....this game has a lot of content for only costing $3. I've seen many games cost $15-20 and have half of this game's content. If you end up loving the game like I do, this is a complete no-brainer of a purchase. The question is just whether you think you'd enjoy the game as much as I do, and I hope my review has given you an idea of how you'd answer that.

Please don't listen to some of these negative reviews. Yes the dev took it out of early access because he could not continue to develop it, but to call it "abandonware" is ridiculous. For under $5, you have a solid arcade style game you can pick up and play with lots of different spells and passives. There are also scaling difficulties to it, enemy variants and 3 playable characters that are fun in their own ways. There is enough game in it for me to put 24 hours of my life into it and I still pop in once in a while to play a run or two and again its 5 frigging dollars. I could understand the criticisms if it was an expensive game that wasn't anywhere near finished, but Neophyte as it stands has a complete game in it. Sure it could have more content, but there is plenty packed into the price tag and pretty much every game could have more content. Some of you people need to be realistic, learn some empathy and grow up. When your whole life gets completely turned upside down abruptly and drastically, I would love to see how you continue to do your passion projects and manage yourselves.

A title I picked up in the days of Roguelike craze, and while not all games were gems, this gem is certainly a game. Cute, sweet, and simple in it's execution, the runs offer enough variety and challenge when paired with the simple style that creates some fun runs. The skills are varied and creative, with interesting upgrades and synergies between spells and passive runes, creating hectic combinations with fun mage power fantasies. The enemies are definitely a highlight, as their designs are all cute and clear while providing a great variety of mechanics to play around. Paired with simple yet effective skills, the game remains readable even in the more hectic Roguelike moments, thanks to Neophyte's cute and simple style. All of this works even better when the catchy tracks are bumping. While not the best representation of Early Access on Steam, Neophyte is also a reminder that everyone behind the screens is human, and I sincerely hope Regal Pigeon all the best in life. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself, I certainly have no regrets supporting you and your game.

While it is an early access game that hasn't got updates for 2 years now, for the asking price it's a pretty fun game. Spells are fun, varied, have interesting synergies. It reminds me a bit of Wizard of Legend but the content is smaller.

Incredibly underrated build-making rougelike. Would like to see an endless mode. I hate making a perfect build and feeling like a god only for it to be gone after 20 minutes.
