This article is part of Run, Die, Repeat, the weekly Polygon series exploring Roguelelikes.
The flow of time is at the root Rhei collarThe debut project with Reignite Games and one of the summer underrated independent gems. This is Roguelike, who players take control of Phi, a newborn guardian of time, after their kingdom threatens the right noun chaos. Of course, they hold a sword, but their ability to manipulate the world around them by stopping and rewinding time is their strongest weapon.
Interestingly, levels in Rhei collar They are very stagnant, or at least those in which I played during the first few hours in the game. Instead of a random PHI path, every time they set off to a fresh run, they walk at the same levels. This is an intriguing departure from most RogueleliS, in which you often do not know in which rooms you intend to enter, and it helped me better track my progress in every run. However, I saw the fight through the same systems in time can become tedious over time, even though there are several unspecified paths to discover.
Rhei collarHowever, the fight is so addictive that the momentary game is never bored. Phi has airy and ponderous attacks and combinations mixing these two. Everything is good and good. What he sets Rhei collar In addition, Phi scrolling in time adds an stimulating layer to fight. I really like to operate the Whirlwind combination, which is two airy attacks, and then a strenuous attack in which Phi lands many hits on enemies. After the animation, I can rewind and view the same attacks that play to the opposite range to get additional damage. It is also a clever way to get out of danger by rewinding Phi so much that they are no longer at the top of any enemy.
Scrolling attacks is not just a entertaining little trick: it is necessary to damage the sheltered enemies. Aqua Blue Barrier surrounds some enemies and can only be broken by attacking them as phi scrolling. Some of the more challenging enemies will be shielded in the middle of the meeting, ensuring Rhei collar He holds you on your fingers.
Phi also has the power to scroll and stop time around some objects. This is necessary at some levels (such as reconstruction of a broken bridge) and very helpful during some combat meetings. Traps are often the bane of my existence in Roguelililicaes, but in Rhei collarThey are my allies. I am cheerful with so many luring enemies near traps, and then to scroll time and operate them against nothing useless enemies.
What I appreciate the most Rhei collar It is how affordable it is. Phi is healed after cleaning the meeting, which means that HP management is not as stressful as in many other Rogueliki. As long as I keep the harm of the minimum, Phi will often be restored with full health after the meeting. Phi can also be revived during mileage using lifetime and gear capsules start with two available. An additional capsule can be added by investing in the Phi skill tree, which means that after just a few hours of the game I can enjoy gears with three revived in my pocket. Saving my coins during the run can even allow me to complement them if the merchant has one in stock.
Rhei collar He feels like Roguelike for people who are discouraged by the typical difficulty of this species. After only a few runs, Phi seems to be an agile power – one that, fortunately, will not be derailed with early or unexpected death.
