RymdResa Reviews & Ratings
RymdResa is quite interesting 2D "space exploration" game, that I would qualify as an artistic experience of a sort. While it's replayabilityRymdResa is quite interesting 2D "space exploration" game, that I would qualify as an artistic experience of a sort. While it's replayability is limited, I think that for indie-like game it is quite good and worth trying, just to see what creators have prepared for the players. It has a particular ambiance and gameplay is quite simple, typical for indie like games, yet effective. The low score of that game on metacritic is surely not earned.
It's a little project, but also an ambitious one, with RPG elements and slow paced exploration thrown in the mix. Unfortunately we weren't completely convinced by the game's pace and the design choices. If you like spaceships and are not scared of dead moments, you could find something to love in RymdResa.
Original gameplay, difficulty level and the atmosphere of loneliness create interesting and engaging roguelike game, which unfortunately is a little too irritating in the last chapter.
RymdResa is a special roguelike in which you are humanity's last hope. You might not like the repetitiveness of the game, but they can bring you in a melancholic trance in which poetry is the higher power. Its minimalism is elegant, the storytelling is interesting and the surreal space experience makes RymdResa a moving piece of art.
With time and patches, this could be a must play, but as it is I can only cautiously recommend RymdResa as a game with fascinating ideas and inconsistent execution.
