It's cute, and not too difficult. The only significantly wall I hit was with the second phase of the final boss, which I just needed to play a few runs to build up my stat bonuses and then explore enough to get a stockpile of heals. Oh, and the game is very reminiscent of Bastion by Supergiant Games, which is a point in its favor.

Far from being a masterpiece but I do enjoy playing this. Easy to understand & predict yet not overbearing or tiresome. Non of the intricate rougelike text mechanical exponanza is to be expected here. The rougelike element is paper thin but enough to keep me going (it's just the map not the enemy or skill). I hate the fact that i can't stockpile item & carry over, it's always either we discard it ourselves by manually ending the run or dying. In fact I desperately want to stockpile the healing item for the last boss but i ended up beating the game without it anyway. I guess the game would be way too easy if it's done that way. The music is good & collecting the beats is rewarding. This is the kind of game for palate cleanse your taste. Got to play some barebones game just to reset our expectation for the next game to play. Though i do recommend getting this on sale. Peace.

Very nice adventure game with a well designed evolution. Better than most in the same genre.

Sparklite is an action roguelike where you travel through an ever-changing land to defeat the forces of evil. The sound design and pixel art in this game are delightful. Each area feels distinct, and it was fun unlocking them all. I enjoyed finding the different weapons and collectibles throughout the world, though the randomization of the world for every run did make some late-game collecting a little frustrating. There isn't much of a story, but the gameplay is fun and challenging, and I had a good time throughout this short adventure. I'd easily recommend it to those who enjoy pixel art RPGs, as it seems like there was a lot of care put into this project and I enjoyed experiencing it all.

Sparklite Is a fairly easy roguelite with cute pixel graphics. The combat is nice in that the enemies usually telegraph their attacks and it isn't too hard to satisfyingly dodge their attacks while getting a near optimal amount of damage in. The melee weapons are well flushed out and some of the ranged weapons are cool, although the later two weapons feel a bit more gimmicky. This is a combination of neither weapon feels stronger than the crossbow and the only times I would use them was for solving puzzles in the areas I found them in. One aspect that could be improved is movement, there isn't really anyway to move faster as the game progresses and you always stop for a brief moment after dashing that feels off, its nothing too major and you can definitely get used to it but the movement definitely could be smoother. Moving on, each region has unique enemies and while the rooms can feel a bit repetitive at times its not a big issue since you can always skip fighting them and move onto the next room should you wish. The bigger issue lies with a certain element of randomness. Randomness is an important element to many games and I think this especially applies to rogue likes. However, randomness should be done in such a way that it doesn't feel tedious or that you can't move forward if you're just screwed over by chance. In Sparklite, there are various different big chests that you are looking for that provide patches that are incredibly helpful for progressing in the game. From what I can tell each region will have rooms randomly loaded in and if its a new rooms with a new chest/challenge, great you can acquire a new patch and use it in later runs to get further ahead, but if the region keeps only having the rooms that you've already looted and you can't get more patches this way simply due to chance. Something that could be so helpful with this is making it that once a room has had its big chest looted, it won't appear anymore and other rooms with chests that have yet to be looted will appear. Another thing that would be great would be something that indicates how many patches a region has & how many you've found so this way I won't continue wasting my time exploring a region because I want to find all the patches (I'm a slight completionist). Finally, the patch system and the story. Honestly, I like the patch system a lot. Its straightforward and you are given a liberty to adjust the patches you're currently using to make your next run more convenient. The way that you have to somewhat manage your patches as well as how you want to spend your money is done is a pretty seamless way that lets you figure out where your priorities lie. At a certain point, its kinda broken cause once you have like 2 golden shield patches u feel nigh invincible but again this isn't a very difficult game. The story is straightforward and but enough fun detail to keep it engaging, and the npcs aren't anything to write home about but are still fun. Overall, Sparklite is a fairly short roguelite that you can probably complete within a full free day of playing. Its a good game but nothing incredible so that combined with the around 10 hr playtime to get all the achievement for me makes 25$ feel a little expensive. I would recommend buying it on sale but whatever works best for you.
