Flinthook

Flinthook is a 2D Action Roguelike about space captain flinthook who sets out on a mission to save the cosmos from the space pirates crew.
The game offers 4 different stages (pirate ships) each with multiple rooms filled with platforming and enemy challenges. Most of the room space is tight filled with different kinds of traps from explosives, to spikes, to acid and so on. You need to fight the monsters that appear within challenge rooms and clear the room for rewards and be able to proceed to the next room.
Very challenging yet fun procedural rooms each different from the other. You will also find merchants during your runs that will offer you with different types of goods, from weapon upgrades to trait upgrades.
The soundtracks and music were really nice to listen to during hours of gaming sessions, it will definitely keep you hooked. This game may have released back in 2017, however it was mostly overlook due to its difficulty, once you master the platforming and timings, it gets easier.
It's really recommended for the fans of platforming and Action Roguelike genres.
Overall Rating 10/10

I'm happy with the six hours I got out of this. The movement is really fun, and the art is cool, and the space pirate themeing is charming. I do wish they took these mechanics and put it in a more conventional side-scrolling platformer though. The rogue-lite stuff hurts the game, because it all feels pretty samey after a while. I've gotten bored with it, and I'm not getting that much new stuff on new runs. So I'm done, but I had fun. I'm curious about the dev's other games.

It's a great game. It has a lot of personality and charm, tough as nails with a high skill ceiling. It's items aren't super deep though, so don't expect Isaac or Skul level of builds here, it's mostly stats, conditional stats and resources. Hope we get a Flinthook 2.

Great roguelike with amazing art and a good soundtrack. I get Bucky O'Hare vibes from it.

Some of the most painful RNG Achievements ive ever done in any video game and thats saying something
The rest however was fun as hell
final campaign was a bit lazy but other then that, the game was very engaging and incredibly fun to learn
the gameplay is fluid, animation is beautiful, the Character design is immaculate, the lore while a bit lackluster was very fun to read and the builds you can create are amazing
a hidden gem this one
8.5/10 would recommend to anyone whos looking for a good challenge and a fun time
if you want to go for 100% your gonna have to work for it

Fantastic game with retro feeling. Absolutely recommended for short runs from a coach into a big screen or directly from the Steamdeck.

Very solid fun and challenging game with great music and art!
