Ananias Roguelike

Ananias is a great Roguelike, blending classic gameplay with a modern interface. Originally conceived back in 2014 on the "7DRL Challenge", an event for developers to make a roguelike game in seven days, Ananias became so much more as the years passed by, and it certainly deserves to be in your library if you're a fan of this kind of game. I have played Ananias for the first time on my smartphone, but it's way more comfortable (to me, at least) on the desktop. You can play the free version on your browser if you wish to know how it is on PC: http://ananiasgame.com/play The Steam version is the best one if you want all classes unlocked and the best price, since it's localized according to your country, and not sold with a dollar tag. The game itself is very balanced and it's a joy to play, with responsive controls, an awesome and intimist soundtrack and a lot of secrets to discover. I

Ananias is a straightforward traditional rogue-like that the developer has adapted for modern media - including both on mobile phones as well as on computer. The game features full integration of the mouse along with the keyboard, to the point that you can play through the game with just the mouse alone if you wish. At this time, the game isn't totally playable with the keyboard, but the developer has promised to enable this in the future. As for playing the game itself, Ananias has simple but deep gameplay. You can play with reagents to concoct potions for use against your enemies or your own personal use. You can play with a companion, which you can order around. Different classes have their own gameplay quirks and bonus for different forms of play. Items have durability which degrades and reduces in effectiveness.... And that isn't saying anything about the diverse enemy set which w

Not every game has to break the mold. There’s a certain comfort to fighting familiar orcs and ghosts with familiar swords and scrolls. But a fundamentally simple game still has to get the fundamentals right, and Ananias does just that. It doesn’t aspire to be much more than a basic fantasy roguelike, but does so with solid mechanics and accessible gameplay. And just when you think you’ve seen what it has to offer, it might manage to surprise you with the few curveballs it does throw. A great evil (this time a serpent) has descended on the good and decent folk and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ everything up for them. A great hero (that’s you) has scoured the land for the Ring of Ananias, a relic of a powerful king that contains the power to save the world. The trail leads to a labyrinth of ancient secrets and vile creatures which you must conquer if the land is to know peace once more. With your trusty animal

This game will take a long time to play and enjoy, so I will leave this review, because it deserves it. The game is as what it describes. Don't let the graphics fool ya, you can really have lots of enjoyment with it. There are multiple classes (male and female), and petsies and each class has its own pros and cons. You can even pick the hardest one to play: if you think the game is too easy! The sounds/OST/Music fits well with the atmosphere. Their special feature (apart from many others) is that you can throw things at enemies. You can throw armor too, which is hilarious. The levels always change and you will eventually get better and better at it, until your luck fails ya and you meet some crazy debuffing enemies. Although I gotta say... apart from multiple ways you can lose... my character lost when I forgot to click on the horse to follow my character and got stuck in a very tiny r

Pros: -simple -quick to learn -addictive -lots of stuff to collect, to create, and to find -dank frog sage (and actual frog) -it actually has some sort of guidance with the NPCS Cons: -very dependent on chance (even the bonuses) -almost impossible to get to the last level -bows and crossbows are near useless due to using 2 actions (nock and fire) -monsters tend to swarm in the later levels Saving a playthrough then returning to it later seems to cause the session to disappear. This has happened to 2 characters already and I was very lucky with them.

I wanted to take moment and give this game a positive review. I've played tons of traditional rogue-like games and was initially turned off by the reviews for this game. I recently decided to take the gamble and pick up a copy, and I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised! This a good game to start with if you are interested in getting your feet wet in this genre. It's easy to learn, but challenging enough to keep you coming back. Here are few things that I like: 1. I love the character and monster animations. None of the animations are static, so the creatures feel alive. 2. Monsters will run if they are hurt and alert creatures in the next room. 3. You have to manage your armor and weapons as they degrade over time. 4. You can upgrade your animal companions. 5. Wandering adventures will help you along the way. Good game overall and $5 well spent!
