Although the isometric combat gives the player the experience of playing high-speed strategies, the initial novelty wears out very fast and the game does not provide much to make up for it. From healing priests to primate shamans to forgotten knights, there is always at least one friendly face to look forward to in the next breather floor.Įvertried certainly has a solid foundation but what’s built on top of it just doesn’t go very high. Their designs are also quite memorable, and the stylised pixel art serves them very well. It’s not a particularly extensive cast - less than ten new faces to look forward to - but they add a much welcomed break every now and then. Other souls that can be met at random while climbing the tower will tell the player about themselves and their stories, or simply share their own insights on the world around them. On the story side, coupled with a clean and cute art style, Evertried has its own cast of characters to help scratch the itch of those that, like me, always appreciate a story alongside gameplay. At times, the game can feel like high-speed chess in the best way possible. Evertried presents an array of enemies, each one with their particular quirks of movement, personality and aggression learning how they move will soon be rewarded by satisfying chains of destroying enemies and luring them into traps. The focus mechanic rewards the player for taking snappy and decisive action while the charge mechanic encourages constant movement across the map. The game takes the isometric gameplay that is usually a place for slow, careful consideration and gives the player ample opportunities to defy that rule: while each individual floor of the tower is quite small, the player is given the chance to examine the terrain and the enemies and pick their movements quickly so the fun part can begin. Each floor brings a different challenge and despite this being the afterlife, watch out - the dead may not have as much time to rest in peace as one might think.Įvertried is all gameplay with some story sprinkled in and it does not take long to show you exactly why it’s confident on putting the focus there. The game features an amnesiac protagonist awakening in the afterlife and being told he must fight his way up the mysterious tower.

Those ingredients don’t always come together to create a masterpiece but the genre is nothing if not full of potential.Įvertried takes its spin on the genre by mixing it with isometric, tactical gameplay. And of course, a nice sense of progression to keep you hungry for more runs. There are many aspects that make a roguelite great and not everyone agrees on them but from where I stand, the mixing of randomly generated challenges and heavy focus on player skill are the two main ingredients.

My boyfriend selected a buffalo chicken sandwhich that he thoroughly enjoyed with the loaded fries. There are five different barbecue sauces on the table-my favorite was the honey mustard barbecue-which surprised me with its tangy sweet taste. The pork comes without any sauce-just slow cooked and fork tender. The cinnamon apples were incredible-the right balance between crisp and tenderness. I chose the pulled pork platter which comes with two sides. It took time to decide which to choose! The food menu is broken into sections of burgers, appetizers, sandwiches, barbecue and roasted meats, platters, and even pastas.
There is wine, beer (bottled and on tap), cocktails, sodas-and so many innovative in-betweens. The restaurant is HUGE with a giant bar-so they are very efficient about moving people in and out without much of a wait. We came to Smokey Bones on a Saturday night expecting a long wait and were so pleased to see that we could be seated immediately.
