About

Endorlight is a roguelike platformer developed by Unika Games.

Gameplay

Endorlight is a typical roguelike game. That means that death is permanent. Upon death, the players lose all their items, yet it is still possible to retrieve them if you find a way to the spot you died on. The main objective of each level is to find an exit off of it.

The game has no saving system whatsoever. The players have to play through the game in one sitting. There are more enemies on each level with them being much tougher. The players will have to win a boss fight every five levels. After defeating a boss, a new world biom is unlocked. Each boss is different, has more health and does more damage upon hitting the player.

It is possible to collect gold and use it to purchase several character upgrades, such as increased health, damage multipliers and much more. The game also features a leaderboard that logs how much levels did the player pass, how much gold did they gather, and how much time did it take them to do so.

Your arsenal is not large, as the only things you can get through your enemies are your ax, your bow, and your whip.

Controversy

The game was pulled off Steam for violating copyright law, because of the usage of the open-source code of another game Spelunky and copying another game called Caveblazers, but on a different engine.

Endorlight reviews and comments

Early Access Review A short summary of this game : You have an axe, a whip and a bow. Now play. That's all. Level starts. An ennemy spawn on me. On the first level, it's good, you take half a heart damage. Second level, you lose half of your life. Not good. First level : sort of Spelunky copy. Following levels : swap color. I get stuck in some place because there's no way to get out if you dont have a wall to climb. Reset. Thanks for playing. The gameplay is here, and that's all. But a game need more than that. It needs a story (even just some lines), a goal (a real one), some personnality. And some coherence. When I saw the title the first time, I thought about a futuristic game, a bit 80's style. But no, you are in a cave with a bow and an axe. It's a detail, but details are importants. I can't recommend this game now. But it's not a negative review just for the pleasure to do a negative review. I tell what it's wrong in my opinion, at this point. But I'm sure that with more works, it could become a cool lil' game.

Product received for free I want to clarify that retro games are not my forte, which is more in 2D. Which plays a lot in my evaluation. On the other hand, to write this last I do not take into account my personal opinion, because you want to know if the game is good and worth to be bought, not if I liked it. Here we are on Endorlight, a retro 2D game halfway between the RPG and the platformer. The goal is to get as far as possible in the levels, you have a life, only one. Take hearts of life, coins... Everything is reset at each level, except your money. This makes your life back to 5 hearts, even if you had 6 or 7, but the levels are also reset! Not two identical levels! Random enemies, bosses... Uh, explosive enemies are boring because they can ruin your level by destroying the terrain. So save and reload your save, the level will reset. PS: I hope you master the wall-jump my notation: graphics-in the minecraft theme version 8bits 1/5 but 4/5 for a retro audio game-in the electronic music theme, perfect for a retro game, slightly stressful 2/5 but 3/5 for a retro game Gameplay-you have to master the wall-jump (1-2H game), the keyboard commands are rotten (optimized for gamepad) and the hitboxes are bogus (hard to touch a jar) 1/5 diversity-the highlight of the game! totally random, not 2 same levels, so that some are impossible, reload your save, the level will reset! Never seen on retro games, and a successful bet! 4/5 and 5/5 for a retro game conclusion: 2/5 If you do not like retro games (music, graphics, gameplay) but 4/5 If you are looking for a good little retro game to relax. On this, ' all!
