Jan. 2025

When i first started playing the game, I was expecting something like risk of rain (of no fault of the dev's branding it that way) and was a little dissapointed by what turned out to be more of an arena shooter with few abilities (a movement, an "auto attack" and a "spell" with a "class" specific ability. after some playing and earning unlocks, I quickly learned what looked simple was actually a frantic and hilariously scaling roguelite with tons of potential for builds. been playing in coop and having a blast. after almost 25 hours, theres still over 100 power's still to unlock and i havent even tried every class. any roguelite that can have me laughing out loud about the build i've assembled is doing it right.

If you're buying this, it's probably for the theme. Very cohesive literary theme and references. Barnes & Noble workers unite. Solid roguelite. Amazing art, interesting build combos. Still in early access and comes with much of the jank, but has an active community with very involved devs. Hop in the discord and they'll be in there having conversations and reading feedback. Not a super challenging roguelite even at the hardest of difficulties, but for a fun time with friends (or solo) highly recommended.

Honestly its just fun. Seriously its just fun. If you want a good game in this genre i cant recommend this enough. Once its fully out then im definitely gonna try to get my friends into this or at least once the current roadmap is done

Vellum is a pretty good shooter roguelike. Nothing revolutionary here, but the theme is interesting, the visuals are stylish, even if low-tech, the mechanics are neat and mesh well. The pacing is a fairly chill, and it turns out actually good for a change: I'm not that fond of the "shrew on cocaine" tempo common for the genre. Despite the game still being in early access, the stability is decent and the balance is acceptable. Co-op mode is fully functional. Overall, I can recommend Vellum for... basically anyone who has read till here, I guess? :)

May 2024

Very interesting take on the roguelite/like genre. Not only you first pick modifiers to make your run harder, but you also get to choose how you make your run harder after each chapter. The game offers a good chunk of challenge especially on higher binding levels, and each run still feels very different from the last one. There's also a perma-progression as you play more to give you a little bit more damage, health, etc.. You can then (at your will) reset the progress to gain some additional rewards. The runs are short, about 15 minutes long until you finish a book (6 chapters, multiple different books that all play differently). But after you kill the boss, you get a choice of going back to the menu, or you can continue on the "endless" mode, where your run gets even more increasingly harder but you get to play with your build you managed to put together longer. Definitely recommend this game. It's affordable price, it has a solid amount of content, and very fun gameplay pattern/loop.
