What this pixel action RPG is about
Darkrise is a pixel-style action RPG made by two indie developers. The hero's homeland has been overrun by goblins, undead, demons and invaders from neighboring countries, and the hero has to grow stronger and push them out.
It suits players who want quick, moment-to-moment combat in a retro look, with a clear progression of stronger gear over a long run of fights.
Choosing a class and moving through the locations
You pick one of four classes: Mage, Warrior, Archer or Rogue. The listing says each has its own skills, mechanics, strengths and weaknesses, so the way you move and fight changes with the choice.
The game has about 100 locations and three difficulty levels. Enemies come at you from the front or pour out of portals that open at random points on the map every few seconds. Enemy types differ from one another, and some enemies are defective, with random stats and powers you cannot predict in advance.
Combat feedback and enemy speed
Hits are shown with camera shake, strike flashes, a health bar that drops with an animation, and loot that flies out to the sides when dropped. The developer describes the combat as juicy, meaning these effects are layered on every exchange.
Both your character and the enemies move fast. The listing notes that you have to keep moving or you will lose.
Upgrading armor with gems and the town smith
Equipment comes in eight types and six rarities. Armor can be given sockets, and gems placed in them add to your stats. Several gems of the same type can be combined into a single upgraded gem.
Armor can also be taken to the smith in town, who enchants and reforges it. The listing presents this as the main way to push a character's gear further.
