Just got done with the demo and had to share. This game is a lot of fun and I hope more people go and check it out.
It's just so goofy and entertaining (while also tight mechanically) between both the gameplay and dialog that I was sad when the demo was over lol.
If anything in the screenshots or trailer tickle your fancy, definitely give it a look!

Demo Here:

Yet another interesting looking game only for me to find out it's roguelike/lite. This sucks.

I'm playing now, surprised there is no buzz on era. The game is quite tricky but I'm having fun, the premise is funny as someone who works in these sort of companies it is soooo accurate haha

I'm about 7 runs into the second dungeon so far.

Never heard of this game until today, so I'll mark it on my list and pick it up at a later date. I already have so much to play! It looks like a lot of fun, though!

I hate that art style with every cell in my body and then I read "procedural dungeons" and "rogue-lite". This is basically all my dislikes rolled into one package, lol.

While the game is good, I feel Hades and Spelunky 2 kinda sucked all the rogue-like air out of the room currently.

Wow, this looks really cool. Premise is hilarious and I kinda like the art style! I will definitely have to check it out. Just another rouge like to add to my huge rougelike backlog lol...

Played about an hour so far and the writing has been the highlight for sure. It's pretty funny if you're familiar with tech bro startup culture and makes for a goofy game premise that I'm finding pretty enjoyable.

Gameplay-wise, I'm not making much progress so far, haha. Don't think I've even made it to the first boss once yet. I just unlocked the apps, which seems like random drop single use items? Also, what do the skill percentages you see between runs mean? Am I leveling them up as I use them or something?

Once they are up to 100% you can equip them as something to start with. I use attack + speed up as my always on skill, the icon is a traffic light.

it took me 7 runs to beat the first dungeon, then 10 for the second and 1 for the third.

I've found not locking on and using weapons that hit in an arc (like the hockey stick) works best.

If this was a 10-12 hour dungeon run, I'd be on board. Once I read it was run-based, I lost a lot of interest. I get that it's a thing, just not my thing. Maybe I'll try the demo anyway.

Does anybody know what the target frame rate is on Switch? Trying to decide whether to get it there or PS4. I know it's 60FPS on PS4 and I read it's the same on Switch, but all the Switch footage I've found looks like it's 30FPS...

Been playing this a bit more the last couple of days. It's not to deep or complex but I am having a lot of fun with it. The game is pretty silly.

Are there only 3 dungeons?

On sale for $10 on steam! Really fun game that got quickly overshadowed by Hades.

Please give it a chance!

I bought this recently, cool tiny thing but a ton of fun. I wish it had bigger text though!! It's not easy on my eyes on the Lite. Otherwise super fun dungeon crawler! Nice bops too.

The game is $10 on the eShop right now, but I am worried that it may be to brief.

I've played Hades for more than 100 hours and even though I would love to get that amount of gameplay from this game, I know It's not reasonable to expect that, but I keep seeing that it can be completed in less that 10 hours, is this true?

Sorry for the bump, but I'm playing this now and it feels pretty easy for a roguelike. Hades, Flinthook etc. are far more difficult - I've been playing this for 10 hours and I've had a few cracks at the final boss.

Great game though.
