Hidden Gem?

Recommended Posts

 

Not sure if this game has just passed the community by, or maybe people didn't like the look of it, but having finally got my Plat I have to say I had a blast with this game.   Nice art style, fun combat and exploration (if a touch frustrating), secrets to discover, spells/weapons to upgrade, plenty of items, good boss fights, a decent cast of characters and some good humour.   The trophies give a little boost to replay value and offer a few challenges, and 15 bronze, 11 silver, 5 gold and a Plat isn't too shabby either.   

 

I know we're swamped with indies of various genres and quality...but this is a good one, fun game, and yet only 172 owners from this site...thought I'd give it a plug and recommend it, even if it's just to look out for it in a sale.   :)

Hmm, well its currently on sale right now for 3 bucks. Whats the gameplay like? Got a bit of a binding of isaac vibe from it. Also many hours would you say the plat took?

Top down, bullet hellish, rpg-ish, with a few puzzles and interconnecting map exploration, bit like Isaac, not on the same level but well worth 3 bucks I would think.   I had good fun with it.   There's a speed run trophy for finishing the game under 1hr 45mins, which isn't too hard, but does mean skipping a lot of the game.   With a guide maybe 2-3 hours, without maybe 4-5, there's quite a few well hidden collectibles in the game and the trophy for unlocking all doors needs to be carefully done.   I recommend it!  :)

It is, btw those times probably aren't accurate, there's no way you're doing the speed run trophy and the others at the same time so I would say anything between 4-7 hrs to Plat, likely with a guide and being half decent at these type of games, there's very easy collectibles, and walls to bomb, to miss etc...   Tbh, I paid a lot more for it and I'm happy with it, was good fun and made me laugh a few times too.

Thanks for the recommendation. Why don't you write the guide for it now that you've platted it?

Haha, no pressure there Stricken!  Lol  

 

I wouldn't have the time tbh, but there is a decent guide here:

 

http://www.playstationtrophies.org/forum/rack-n-ruin/271508-rack-n-ruin-trophy-guide-roadmap.html

 

It could do with a few tweaks here and there but for the most part it does the job, and I'd always be happy to answer any queries, as I would hope the 5 others who have managed the Plat would if they are regulars.   Small point, the guide says 10-14hrs, but I did the speed run in around 1hr20mins so add that to a regular game of I'd say a few hours if you've read the guide and planned well, then 4-7 probably more accurate if anyone is wanting to knock the Plat out quickly.  

 

Good game though, I had a good time with it and honestly was a bit surprised so few people had purchased it.   As I said, just thought it deserved a plug!  :D

To clarify something, I've only just discovered that the stats on this site are separated by region, hadn't realised that.   In the EU the game has 172 owners and 6 Plat achievers, however across the pond in the Americas, the game has 451 owners and 7 Plat achievers...

 

Doesn't make much difference, but just in case anyone is a little confused by the numbers I stated.  :)

Looks pretty cool. How hard is this game? =P

 

EDIT:

It's not on sale here ?anymore?. It has a platinum, so if this was like 25-50% off, I'd totally buy it I think! :)

It's really a good and fun game, was on sale last month, so cheap actually, about 3 dollars.

Here's the new guide I hope you all like it and at some point give this game a chance
