Info about Caveblazers: Official game description: Online Multiplayer Mod! ======================= About the Game ============== Caveblazers is an action focused platformer roguelike set in a fantasy world. Each game is unique with procedurally generated levels to explore and a massive amount of items, weapons and equipment to discover. The game takes place in a recently discovered cave, said to hold "unimaginable power". You play as an adventurer setting out to explore the cave and find out what riches it holds. However, you are not the only one... As you delve deeper in to the cave, you'll discover new areas to explore, new weapons and new monsters to try them out on. **Smart Characters!** --------------------- Throughout your journey you will encounter AI characters. Some friendly, some hostile. We're using an **advanced pathfinding system** which means friendly characters will be able to follow you wherever you go, and hostile characters will be able to track you down wherever you hide. There is no escape. Be afraid! **Platformer Roguelike!** ------------------------- Caveblazers is a modern platformer which incorporates some Roguelike and RPG elements such as permanent death, randomized potion identities, an RPG-style inventory system and tons of items, equipment and upgrades! **Daily Challenge Runs!** ------------------------- **Each day a new adventure will be generated!** It will be the same for everyone and you'll only get one chance at it! These challenge runs give you a starting loadout, and feature a set of different traits. **Epic Boss Battles!** ---------------------- Between each area you'll encounter a boss. **Each boss is very unique, requiring a different strategy to defeat.** Bosses are generally gigantic monstrosities with life bars stretching across the entire screen. Good luck! **Character Customization!** ---------------------------- A whole load of unlockable hats, tunics, trousers, robes, and more! Or perhaps you fancy stripping off and heading in to the caves in the nude? Go for it! **Compelling Combat!** ---------------------- Largely overlooked in other modern Roguelike games, Caveblazers attempts to move away from the simplistic combat systems we've seen in other games in the genre, and incorporates **fun, fluid and fast-paced combat** which is accentuated by the game's brutal and persistent blood effects. **Challenges!** --------------- In case that isn't enough content, Caveblazers features a bunch of challenges for the well seasoned players to take a punt at. These challenges reward players with new items, weapons & perks! Release date: May 24, 2017 Categories: Action Platformer, Roguelike, Procedural Generation, Local Co-op, Character Customization, Meta-Progression, Daily Challenge Runs Feature scans: - Wiki: score 50; verdict: Needs External Guides; summary: The primary user complaint is that the game fails to teach its mechanics, requiring players to seek external guides and documentation. This is a classic Tier 3 issue where players need instructional data to understand complex systems. The feedback highlights a lack of in-game handholding and a reliance on out-of-game resources, which negatively impacts the learning experience. - Steam Deck: score 10; verdict: Seamless; summary: The game appears to run well on Linux/Proton with controller support, and the only negative is the unnecessary anti-cheat, which doesn't seem to cause technical issues. Overall, the Steam Deck experience is likely seamless. - Hardware Profile: No data Feature extractions: - Community Price: - Community fair range: $5.00 - $8.00 - Reasoning: The community is split on the $10 full price: some consider it worth it, while others explicitly say it is not. Many reviews praise the game as a great value only when purchased on sale, implying the base price is too high. The game has solid gameplay but lacks polish and originality, so a fair base price should be below $10, likely in the $5-8 range where it balances value and quality. - Playtime Metrics: - Game completion: 1.0h - Story completion: N/A - Session length: N/A - Endgame: 500.0h - Reasoning: Game completion is supported by two quotes: one stating the game can be beaten in about an hour, and another reporting a first clear after twenty hours. The lower figure represents a fast, skilled run, while the higher reflects a typical first completion; I use 1 hour as the base completion time. Endgame is supported by explicit claims of 500 hours to complete all classes with 5 relics and 225 hours to reach the true final boss three times, indicating extensive post-game content. Story completion and session length lack specific, consistent evidence, so they are set to null. - Time-to-fun: - Summary: Caveblazers presents a rough, repetitive first hour with high difficulty and no tutorial, but most time-based reports indicate the game becomes much more enjoyable after that initial period, with unlocks and mastery driving engagement. - Stance: Clicks after - Anchor: After the first hour - Time to anchor: 1h 0m - Friction: no tutorial; steep learning curve; brutal difficulty; repetitive first hour; unfair deaths; tedious ranged kiting - Unlock drivers: meta-progression system that softens the sting; progression system that keeps the unlocks coming; custom mode; co-op with friends; getting better at the game - Conditions: if you don't mind dying; if you play co-op; if you like challenging games; if you upgrade your loadout; if you get past the first hour - Player Archetypes: - Hardcore Roguelite Enthusiast (buy) - Motivation: Mastering challenging runs and discovering synergies - Playstyle: Adapts to random items and blessings, experiments with different classes and builds - Experience: veteran - Purchase stance: buy - Labels: N/A - Reference games: Spelunky; Risk of Rain - Casual Player (no buy) - Motivation: Relaxing and casual fun without excessive challenge - Playstyle: Prefers easy modes or assist options, may give up on hard content - Experience: newcomer - Purchase stance: no buy - Labels: weekend gamer - Reference games: N/A - Co-op Companion (sale) - Motivation: Playing with friends and sharing the experience - Playstyle: Plays local co-op, coordinates with partner, may struggle with split-screen - Experience: familiar - Purchase stance: sale - Labels: N/A - Reference games: N/A - Modding Advocate (no buy) - Motivation: Customizing and extending the game through mods - Playstyle: May use mods or hacks to alter gameplay, values player freedom - Experience: familiar - Purchase stance: no buy - Labels: N/A - Reference games: N/A Below are summaries of things people say about the game per category.
