Curtain Call

The game is a huge positive surprise for me. I can confidently say it’s a hidden gem among rogue-like games. Mechanically, I really like the idea of creating a path for our hero to traverse, placing both aids and obstacles along the way. It’s like playing chess against yourself or a tower defense game where you’re simultaneously on both sides. Big kudos for this approach to the genre. Visually, it’s fantastic. Very beautiful pixel art with a great dose of humor in a cartoonish style. It’s definitely eye-catching and pleasing to look at. The only downside is that the game initially launches in Chinese, and when switching to English, some of the text in the descriptions overlaps. However, I hope the developers will polish this aspect. After completing my first run, I can’t wait to see what else this fascinating game has in store for me. Highly recommended!

Ignore the person saying there's no English, it works just fine, and the translation isn't bad. This is the newest game from a Korean studio whose name I think translates to "Sunny Side Up." Their first game is a delightful 2.5D Bullet Heaven game called "Noobs Want to Live." Both games feature some excellent absurdist humor and pop culture references, a wonderful shopkeeping giraffe that insults you. Curtain Call is an auto battler game where the twist is you're supporting a single character, the units you buy are either enemy units or supporting units. For example, you could buy a unit that gives dodge when adjacent or gives a shield after a kill, etc. You want to make sure you're purchasing enemies that synergize with your build. It allows for a pretty dynamic and engaging tactical spin on the genre.
