Inkbound review - another stand out roguelike by the Monster Train team


Eurogamer's review of Inkbound, a brilliant turn-based spin on Hades-style roguelikes.

Complicating the movement puzzle this further are Will pick-ups - Will being the resource you use to power abilities - which often lie just out of reach, or in the middle of danger, and tempt you into taking risks. Shiny Shoe clearly understands that the allure of these games is building characters that break the mould in wonderfully satisfying ways, and it feels like it's doing all it can to enable that, if, of course, you put it together right. There's more to do each time you loop back around - more characters to talk to, more quests to take on that you probably won't think much about, but you'll enjoy the little firework pops of progress they are responsible for, igniting across your brain.
