Is The Way Home: Pixel Roguelike worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Roguelike fans who want changing dungeon layouts and battle patterns
- Players who enjoy assembling a four-character party from a larger roster
- Adventure players interested in gathering resources and building structures while following a story
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a fixed dungeon layout may hit a wall when maps are procedurally generated.
- Players who prefer controlling one character may find the four-character party system a poor fit.
- Players seeking a purely combat-focused run may not want the resource gathering and construction tasks.
- Players looking for a story set in one location may not want to explore four islands.
Our take on The Way Home: Pixel Roguelike
The likely bounce point is party setup: battles are built around choosing four characters from a roster of 21 and combining their different skills. Players who want to begin with one fixed character may hit that system before the dungeon loop gets going.
What is The Way Home: Pixel Roguelike?
Kevin and Cheese are trapped on a strange island and try to find a way home.
Explore four islands, meet other lost people, and encounter monsters in procedurally generated dungeons. Battles feature changing enemy patterns and call for strategic combinations of 15 or more skills. Choose from 21 characters, each with different skills, and assemble a party of four to fight together. Collect resources in dungeons and on islands, then use them to construct buildings intended to make escape easier. The story unfolds as the pair meet non-player characters and explore. The game uses pixel-art visuals with lighting and shadows.
