Early Access Review
Basically everything you could ever want in a space roguelike. A top 10 roguelike, easily, and it's not even out of early access yet

Early Access Review
This game goes crazy. Saleblazers is really an "everything" game, loaded to the absolute brim with systems upon systems, remaining fully multiplayer-first without any compromises - all fleshed out, fun, and tied into a learn-by-doing skill system. This is the absolute perfect game to play with a group of friends who all want something of a different genre to do while benefiting eachother as you go. Crafting, shopkeeping, building, farming, combat, thievery, fishing, exploration, guns, swords, magic. Absolutely crazy.

It's pretty janky at the moment and you'll be constantly booted from sessions and have to reopen the game to clear memory leaks regularly, but that's early access for you. What's an amazing game now will be an absolutely phenomenal masterpiece as the years go by. If this also ends up moddable it will be a genuine danger to my friend group's free time.

Oh also it's basically like Diablo where you can take your character between worlds with all stats and items which is something not nearly enough multiplayer games have these days

Pretty much a video game adaptation of Brass Eye and The Day Today.

I believe in Jeremy Donaldson, and not just because of the belief juice.

Early Access Review
This game is so damn good, even without mentioning the insanely low price of entry. Reminds me of the same kind of simple exponential gameplay loops you'd get in one of the better mobile games out there like Inflation RPG or Tower of Hero. I adore that it has a reasonable cut-off point - really felt like I was getting insane value for money while also being able to actually finish it.

I can't think of a single game that's immediately hooked me as hard with game-feel alone as this has. Outstanding game. It almost feels disappointing that it's a Roguelite, as I think a full campaign with gameplay like this would be off the wall, but if you're looking for something that just FEELS amazing to play then you probably can't do much better than this.

I like to relax after a long day working as a programmer by pretending to be a programmer

This is really cute. In a world where things seem to be moving more towards online content rather than real life conventions, I'd love to see stuff like this become the standard; It's not just a marketing piece, it's a celebration of all of Devolver's upcoming projects
