Star Renegades Review - Noisy Pixel

[@explodogames2774]

I played it for 6 hours strait on my first sit down with it . I absolutely love it . It is my favorite roguelite to date . Super addicted .

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Thanks for your insight. Glad you’re having fun with it ^_^

[@prototypeAleks]

This game would`ve been sick it was just an RPG and not a rouglike

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

My feelings exactly.

[@kigeruse]

Yep don't know why the need to make everything a rouglike nowadays

[@esperago]

​@@kigeruse Presenting, for the first time eVaR... rogue Tetris!!!

[@deadfr0g]

@@esperago Every Tetris is a roguelike! 🤓

[@JohnDoe-jm6oj]

Man, I really hope the artist for this game joins a team working on a metroidvania. Perfect style for it.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

That would look so rad

[@Mugslo]

Bryan Heemskerk is awesome

[@hundkebab2433]

children of Morta looks similar in style

[@jhon1406]

Noisy Pixel, you guys have become my #1 fave review channel. Keep up the awesome varied work

[@ssjdennis6058]

My first run (successful) took me near 12 hours. The next two tries, I just died at the hand of commanders who resisted all my moves. Run after was tight but made it in only 8 hours. My last run is kinda in limbo xD

[@ReadyAimFire_]

Roguelite and repetition. Thats a big NO for me. But i must admin- it looks gorgeous.

[@adamluther5836]

Really wish I'd checked out more reviews before picking this game up, but I was so easily sold on the incredible visuals and fantastic combat that I never paid any attention to the core game mechanics and the dreadfully depressing rogue elements. The audio and visuals to this game are absolutely amazing, and the combat has a ton of depth and variety, but man do the rogue elements completely kill the fun factor.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Well thanks for check it out after and giving a bit of your opinion :)

[@pauls9034]

I'm always disappointed when I see a game that looks so good, but has rogue or souls elements.

[@adamluther5836]

@@pauls9034 I honestly don't mind most souls elements so much, well, until fall damage kills me and I lose all currency, then I'm not fond of them. I simply hate most rogue elements, though. They don't respect your time, or your wallet, and tend to be a litany of cheap filler content that offers little in the way of unique or noteworthy experiences. There are certainly a few exceptions (Dead Cells, Hades, etc) but most just tend to add more or less polish to the same trash, IMO.

[@saintsalieri]

Me pressing play on this video - This game seems interesting, I'd like to know more before I decide whether to purchase it Me after reaching 0:40 - *immediately buys in another tab*

[@willwidrick8039]

It looks great but once I heard about the rogue elements I decided to pass. I had enough of that in Hades

[@timofaust1315]

Great review. Might get this down the line. But my backlog. So many games in my backlog :(

[@randothomas3733]

There are so many pitfalls for an (indi) devolper: If a game is to hard or to long, you push away the casual gamee, if it is to easy or to short you will get steamrolled by the nerd/hardcore commando (esp on reddit). Reagarding rouge-like/lites: Why there is no difficulty setting (just adjust the health/shield values), so the casual games only need somewaht between 3-10 runs to finish the game (in about 10-15 hrs) and the nerds get their challange as well?

[@TyPugs]

There is a difficulty setting once you beat the game. The difficulty is being thrown out of wack by reviewers. It took me 8 hrs to beat across two runs each time making it to the final boss. After you beat it you get a difficulty slider. A lot of reviewers must be just clicking through the game because the game will literally tell you how much damage you will take and from where. I dont play a lot of games like this either, it's just not as hard as people are saying.

[@MystaryTV]

I really may consider this game because I love the sci-fi turn based RPG mechanics but never really played many rogue like games so this looks very interesting & challenging at the same time 😂

[@DeyvsonMoutinhoCaliman]

A shame they won't allow a better progression, rogue likes and lites are terrible (save a few that allow a solid progression), I don't know why they keep doing it.

[@ohitsmerenz]

Really... That’s kind of a letdown. Usually rogue-like fit games that are not story-driven or has progression, so this is a red flag. I wouldnt want to play 1-2 hours then have it all wasted bc I died and sent back to the beginning lol

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Their previous game was a good time, so I'm down with it.

[@karlwest49]

The art looks great, but the gameplay doesn't interest me. Well done review!

[@WanoiGamer]

Good review

[@SimpleSlave]

Sadly for me "Roguelike + procedurally generated + each run" means stay the fuck far away from this. This type of game always feels like they have an air of disposability and banality to them. The game looks gorgeous but what an instant turn off. True Story

[@reeanimationgaming1034]

You don’t like starting over in games do you? 😁

[@JordanMendesPrestes]

@@reeanimationgaming1034 don't like wasting time*

[@Miketar2424]

It's interesting, I've been playing it for a few hours. I don't understand the idea of the cards at camp. It's a cutesy-poo little mechanic that illustrates the 'power of friendship'. It just doesn't seem to fit the hard-core narrative or style of the game. I don't even know what it really does yet. Overall it's a fun game with interesting graphics.

[@vakill26motta]

I have 9h into it.. 17 runs.. And only reached the second planet once lol but I do love how this game makes you suffer

[@Prague3203]

Basically, if youre not masochistic, dont want a challenge, and hate rebuilding your teams back up to try a different strategy after each loss... dont play this game.

[@NoxLegend1]

Sounds like a waste of time and senseless brainless grinding.

[@walterwhite7376]

This feels like Slay the Spire.

[@Dustinthewind03]

This looks like a game that I buy for even 7 1/2 dollars, play it for a half hour, and get frustrated with the mechanics and not like it and realize I wasted money even when it’s on sale.

[@rookless4121]

a rougelite delete for this game would be appreciated. That is the only thing holding me back from buying it.

[@enigmatic247]

maybe if i was younger like in high school or college this would have been cool but completely losing all your progress? As an adult who is always busy with real-world issues, family and relationships, this is unacceptable. You die in 2nd world and get kicked to main menu to start over? sorry not sorry but that is an absolute joke, i barely have time to finish full story games but now this one wants me to start from scratch? get outta here, such a shame too because the game looks absolutely gorgeous. the artists did an amazing job

[@suplextrain]

Getting pretty sick and tired of all the constant roguelikes. Especially ones that are harsh and without much saved progression. It just turns the game into a repetitive slog. All of them are basically auto-skip for me, and this game sadly looks like another skip.

[@matteomarconi6672]

aaah yes, roguelite/roguelike the scourge of videogames, because who doesn't want to play with trash content generated by an algorythm instead of a carefully crafted world?

[@GtheMVP]

I feel the same way. The are only a couple of rogue-lite/like I ever enjoyed. They're generally shallow level design

[@Day_Chap]

Shame the game is ruined by limiting gimmicks.
