Flame Keeper is a fun little game to play. It is a welcome addition to the roguelite genre. The combat is simple but fun and the abilities you can unlock are satisfying to use against enemies. The boss fights are challenging and a fun time. The tower defense type wave where you defend the cauldron for five minutes is also a welcome addition and can help keep things somewhat fresh after completing the other normal waves. Some of the levels can get repetitive over time as it does follow the same formula and waves. The story is also forgettable but the art style can keep player’s attention. The game is only about 5-6 hours long, depending on how many times you may die in the game but it is a reasonable length for this type of game. Flame Keeper is a good time for any interested in roguelite games.

A great overall look gets this off to a hot start, but a little too much repetition and some early struggles hold it back a bit Oh, the games where you feel a bit torn overall, trapped between elements you like and aspects that don’t feel quite developed enough.

Flame Keepers fast paced combat system is the best part about this game. I really enjoyed running around and testing out all of my new skills and abilities on the various monsters lurking around. The downside is, it can feel repetitive at times which may cause players to lose interest, especially if they find the game to be difficult.

Flame Keeper is a nice time, if short, but it feels like there could be more that could be done, held back by its own mechanics and lack of variety.

Flame Keeper may eventually end up being a great example of the roguelite genre, but in this unfinished form it’s just too slight to give too much attention to. You can easily see everything worth seeing in a couple of hours, and while that’s not bad bang for the buck, it’s not great relative to other games of this sort that you can pick up for a similar price. As I say from time to time, I can’t review an unknown future. I can only look at what is here in front of me now, and in that context Flame Keeper is just okay. SwitchArcade Score: 3/5 Mato Anomalies ($39.99) The premise of this game sounded so cool and the screenshots looked so interesting that I was excited to play it.

Flame Keeper is a truly accessible rogue-lite for anyone new to the genre, or someone who does not want an unforgiving time.

In its current state, there’s some joy to be found in conquering a string of Flame Keeper’s levels with a perfect run, but there are just so many other, better roguelites available. Releasing an incomplete build in a market so heavily saturated with outstanding titles just isn’t a solid strategy. Rating: 6 out of 10 — Konstantin Koteski Disclosures: This game is developed by Kautki Cave and published by Untold Tales.
