Disc Room
Disc Room is a hardcore dodge-'em up brought to you by Kitty Calis, Jan Willem Nijman, and Doseone. A utopian future filled with lethal discs, requiring only reflexes and strategic use of slow-motion. As more rooms are unlocked, a way out might appear: "You don't have to die... you can live! Live 30 seconds and grow old!" An arcade survival game with the goal of lasting 30 seconds in a room where various types of spinning bladed discs appear and bounce around, your only advantage is a short duration ability to slow down time. There are 5 sets of 4 stages with a bonus stage unlocked if you survive 30 seconds in all 4. The next set of stages is unlocked based on the overall points collected. A total of 3 points can be collected for each normal stage, by surviving 10, 20 or 30 seconds, A re-imagined version of the game was revealed in 2020.

Whether it is unraveling the mystery of the disc, trying to last over 20 seconds each room, or completing it’s Pokedex-ish compendium of discs, or completing the 8 hardcore challenges Disc Room packs a lot for a variety of players. It seems Devolver Digital has been a beacon of light in an otherwise dreary 2020, putting out another title which will likely land on my personal year end list. So let’s hope we’ll see “the scientist” cross over in another Devolver published title where he’ll be grabbing a crown.

I had no real expectations for this game, and I still managed to be blindsided by what I discovered. Tough, tiny indie games often try to supplement their size with atmosphere, but the results are often mixed. Here, a small project from a smaller team has brewed a fabulous blend of mechanical finesse and atmospheric splendor. The game is crazy hard, and some of the puzzle elements are pretty obtuse, but I still loved it. If you’re not so impressed by the screenshots and the trailers, take my word for it: Disc Room is so much better than you’re expecting it to be.

Disc Room expertly blends together the simple yet unique mechanics of Minit and the lightning-quick carnage and quick challenges of High Hell, so yes, the end result is akin to peanut butter and chocolate. Disc Room is a joyfully insane experience that delivers a terrific dose of old-school arcade action, all wrapped up in an innovative and attractive package, with a set of tricky yet highly intriguing and nicely-designed puzzles to act as the cherry on top. In a way, there’s something for all types of gamers here, so make sure to not miss out on this gem.

Disc Room is incredibly difficult. It definitely won’t be for everyone. If you lack patience and find yourself getting frustrated in games where you die frequently, it’s probably not for you. But for those of us that enjoy being furious, who let that fury push us further and faster because we crave a challenge, Disc Room is fantastic. You’ll find yourself going back again and again, getting a little bit further each time until you reach its conclusion. And you won’t be sorry when you do.
