This game is currently in the Humble Choice for February 2023, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before March 7th, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A rogue-lite with a little Celeste in it.
Scourgebringer is intense. Players will get the ability to dash through the area, shoot, smash, and slash enemies over and over, and then do it again and again while fighting their way through a dangerous maze. This is a fast-paced rogue-lite, where players have to survive to discover more about an alien artifact. With the ability to stay airborne nearly forever, and dash up walls this feels unique, and the combat is intense but requires a lot of practice as multiple useful skills need to be combined.
Sourgebringer’s one main issue is that it's rather hard, and becomes extremely so. Of course, some players will be able to overcome almost anything that the game throws at them. There’s also the ability to use accessibility settings to make the game easier. Also with this being a brutal rogue-lite, it’s sometimes hard to feel that any real progress is being made, but even still it has a great opening hour and while I have struggled, it’s not put me off just yet.
Pick this up if you like a real challenge, and the rogue-lite formula or you just want to play something interesting for a couple of hours. Scourgebringer feels great for a while, but that difficulty rears its head quickly and players are going to have to master a lot of different abilities all at once to make significant progress, but I’m probably going to return and try to get farther either way.
