Songbringer

I'm kinda shocked by the lack of love for this game. I thought it absolutely ripped! Is it the best game of all time? No, but it's a really good game in it's own right and I'm super impressed it was made by one guy.

In terms of game play, I'm not sure why it's listed as a roguelike since it's a straight-up throwback to the original Legend of Zelda on the NES. You explore the map and gain powers and items as you clear dungeons. You start off weak. but by the end you're a higher-being hopped up on peyote. The dungeons are numbered, so it makes it pretty easy to do them in order. I liked the art and music a lot, but understand those things won't click for everyone. Combat is basic, you have a sword and slash your way through enemies, but you get other weapons and abilities as you progress. I think the game started to really click for me after the 3rd dungeon. It seems most people don't give this game a chance and quit before it even gets going.

You can get it on sale super cheap if you're hesitant to pay full price. So what are you waiting for? Unlock your third eye and give it a go!

7/10
runs well on SteamDeck.

Cool game
