*you can’t go like, Final Fantasy X slow, but it’s not exactly Hades fast either. This careful dance of moving, dashing, and attacking as quickly or as slowly* as the player desires becomes the core element of Evertried’s gameplay, each level building upon the last. Maybe you’ll try to get ahead of the enemies by dashing across the blocks two at a time.
Perhaps another enemy will charge in kind, taking advantage of your close proximity to strike. You might move towards an enemy, only for it to run away. The enemies vary depending on the area (5 in all), but all of them share a common thread: they plan their moves around yours. To continuously ascend this ethereal tower, players will need to clear each of the 50 floors of enemies before proceeding to the next floor.
Up, up, up the tower - through varied enemies, dangerous environments, and distinct boss battles - and into eternal deliverance, where a heavenly afterlife awaits worthy players. However, there’s a catch: where the majority of titles in the genre are often dungeon crawlers hacking and slashing their way downwards into the depths of the… well, dungeon, Evertried asks players to go in the completely opposite direction: up. If you’ve played any roguelike or roguelite before (or, you know, Rogue itself), you’re already halfway there in terms of understanding Evertried’s mechanics. Available on Steam, Switch, PS4, and XBox One for $19.99, Evertried asks players to “make clever use of attacks, movement, skills and hazards to clear floors of enemies and advance higher toward their destiny.” And with predominately positive journalist and user reviews, it’s clear that Evertried’s lofty goals have been attained. So begins Evertried, a successfully Kickstarted turn-based isometric roguelite developed by Lunic Games / Danilo Domingues and published by DANGEN Entertainment. Take up your arms and prove your strength as a warrior as you ascend this otherworldly tower succeed and you will be granted access to the afterlife. You see, you’re something of an anomaly - one of those souls that are too hard to pass judgment and either enter heaven or the depths of hell. Perhaps you were a warrior in life? Well, whatever you were, I propose you pick that weapon up and wield it, as you’ll surely need it. Sorry to break the news to you, but you’ve crossed over, the only hint of your previous life being that weapon that lay at your feet. Can you remember who you are? What happened? No? Okay well, you’re dead. Oh good, you’re awake - if you can call whatever this is “awake” that is.
