Our take on GwenBlade
Its focus on combat and build variation leaves less room for questing as the main activity. The roguelite structure also trades a single fixed progression path for changing stat, skill, and passive-bonus combinations across attempts.
What is GwenBlade?
GwenBlade is an action-platformer with a story-focused roguelite structure.
Jane enters the consciousness of people receiving psychological treatment through a helmet-like device, with each level shaped by memories and representing part of a person's inner world. Platforming challenges and quests accompany combat against enemies linked to negative emotions. Battles are the main focus, using a sword and electric guitar together. Victories provide stat improvements, upgrade currency, active skills, and passive bonuses. Abilities can alter movement and attacks, including setting enemies alight during jumps, calling down lightning, or damaging foes while running past them. Players also adjust stats and customize abilities so successive attempts can use different combinations.
