Verdict: 72%Ī breathless action roguelike that demands but also rewards skill and patience. In a neat twist, the order they appear is randomised, with more complex attack patterns added the later you meet them, causing fresh headaches even after you’ve mastered their basic forms. The bosses can be a nightmare, but they’re finely crafted, and their varied combat styles fill them with personality. When a game based on improvised tactics denies you that, it takes one step too far. No matter how much you learn to cope, you sometimes just need a second to think. Still, it remains difficult, in part because some late-game enemy combinations are almost impossible to survive unscathed, but mostly down to the relentless intensity of its multitasking demands. And when your brain tunes in to its conflicting currents, it’s highly rewarding. In other words, One Step From Eden is a very good roguelike, with the variety, synergies, and unpredictability all that entails. What once seemed an excess of information morphs into a toy-box of potentials. Some cards you’ve been ignoring since the start suddenly make sense, and you can customise which types are most likely to turn up in random drops, to partially direct the development of each run. With some progress, you begin to unlock alternative characters and loadouts, and the different play styles they offer can really change your approach. As thought processes melt into automatic responses, you steal glances at your deck and calculate moves while dancing patterns of defensive manoeuvres. Each costs mana, which takes precious seconds to recharge, and it’s easy to make mistakes when some icons look alike, or cards have status effects that slip the mind in the heat of battle.Įventually, however, having slowly absorbed an encyclopaedia of knowledge about every card and enemy through repeated painful experience, it flows. With no forewarning of what you’re up against, and no pauses in the action once it starts, it’s essential to memorise how each card works and recognise it from its representative icon. The fundamental hurdle is the amount of visual information that has to be parsed at speed, as your eyes flit constantly between your cards, the enemy’s position, and their rapid, scything attacks. There’s tons to learn to make the required mental adjustment, and the game refuses to ease you in or fully explain its systems. Initial excursions are confusing and brutal.
