플레이어 의견 요약
원문 · 영어A turn-based roguelike card crawler where enemies, loot and shrines sit as cards arranged in a ring around you and you choose what to act on each turn.
원문 · 영어Ring of Pain is well liked by players (about 91% positive across roughly 5,100 Steam reviews, Very Positive) but only middling with critics and Metacritic users (Metascore 74, user score 7.1). Everyone agrees the ring layout, dark art and cryptic rhyming writing are distinctive and the core loop is easy to pick up. The dominant complaint in both critic and player reviews is that runs are decided more by RNG and item luck than by skill, with swingy balance and a hard late-game spike. It is a finished, complete game (released Oct 2020, later ported to Switch and Xbox One), not early access or abandoned; current Steam concurrency is tiny (about 30) and recent reviews are still positive. Several players say it is overpriced at $19.99 and lacks endless or modding options.
플레이어가 칭찬한 점
- 원문 · 영어The ring layout is a fresh twist on card crawling: you decide which card around you to hit, loot or skip, and each step is a risk/reward choice
- 원문 · 영어Dark, creepy art direction, audio and atmosphere are consistently praised; the rhyming dialogue and mysterious Owl character add personality
- 원문 · 영어Simple to learn in minutes yet with real depth in how stats interact with turn order and survivability
- 원문 · 영어Large unlock pool (Steam lists 300+ items) with real build variety, including combos like petrify, gem and spellbook builds
- 원문 · 영어Short runs suit quick sessions, and some players use it as a relaxed, low-thought game to play while listening to something
- 원문 · 영어Daily Dungeon mode with modifiers and multiple difficulty levels and endings add replay value
- 원문 · 영어Players who love the genre call it a creepier, harder cousin of Slay the Spire with its own identity
플레이어가 비판한 점
- 원문 · 영어Heavy RNG: the most common complaint, with reviewers calling it a glorified slot machine where a great build can die to one unlucky encounter
- 원문 · 영어Item balance is uneven: a few common items can reportedly auto-win a run while many legendaries need several other items to work
- 원문 · 영어Hard difficulty feels too hard while medium feels too easy, so the difficulty curve is awkward
- 원문 · 영어Late-game and final boss difficulty spike (TheSixthAxis describes a 500 HP final boss against a 29 HP player)
- 원문 · 영어Runs can be lost to misreading enemy info or a misclick, and some enemies in the back of the ring are hard to see
- 원문 · 영어Some players find the lore confusing and the ring format not adding enough beyond stats and items
- 원문 · 영어Some feel it lacks variety and depth once you know the dominant strategies, and compare it unfavourably to Slay the Spire or Balatro
차별화된 특징
- 원문 · 영어Encounters are arranged in a ring around the player, so the core decision is which card to interact with rather than which card to play from a hand
- 원문 · 영어Gear, loot, enemies and shrines are all cards in the same ring, and standing still or sneaking past are real options
- 원문 · 영어Inventory is a limited slot set where swapping equipment and sacrificing health to shrines carry risk
- 원문 · 영어Horror-tinged dungeon crawl tone with an Owl narrator, a shadow figure and rhyming speech
- 원문 · 영어Two main endings (light and dark path) plus candle difficulty modes and a Daily Dungeon
의견이 갈리는 점
- 원문 · 영어RNG: some players love the high-variance chaos and 'win when it works' feeling, others say skill barely matters
- 원문 · 영어Price: praised as cheaper than a movie ticket by some, called too expensive at $19.99 by others
- 원문 · 영어Depth: some see substantial build variety, others find it shallow compared to Slay the Spire and similar deckbuilders
- 원문 · 영어Difficulty: some enjoy the brutal challenge as fitting the name, others find it unfair rather than hard
반복과 부담
- 원문 · 영어Some achievements require replaying the start of a run over and over for hours, and unlocks can be grindy or extremely nasty
- 원문 · 영어One player reports 802 runs started with 519 abandoned, largely because bad RNG made them give up early
- 원문 · 영어Final fights with some builds, such as petrify, can take around 30 minutes, which discourages trying hard mode
- 원문 · 영어Once you find a cheap winning strategy, the game feels samey and repetitive
- 원문 · 영어Gated difficulty and 'die 250 times' style achievements feel like padding
- 원문 · 영어The Owl mascot and overly stylised tone grated on at least one reviewer
기대하는 개선 사항
- 원문 · 영어Add an endless or post-game mode, since players who hit both endings say there is little reason to continue
- 원문 · 영어Rebalance items and enemy scaling so fewer runs are won or lost on item luck
- 원문 · 영어Smooth the medium-to-hard difficulty jump and the late-game spike
- 원문 · 영어Let players unequip items without needing a replacement, and give shrines clearer information about outcomes
- 원문 · 영어Better information UI, for example a way to tab out and inspect the board while choosing stat upgrades or items
- 원문 · 영어Workshop or modding support, which a long-time player said would have helped the game a lot
- 원문 · 영어Lower the base price (a reviewer argued it is priced too high to convince friends to try)
원문 · 영어Launched Oct 15, 2020 on PC (Windows and Mac) by Simon Boxer / Twice Different and publisher Balor Games, then came to Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. Critics were mostly mixed-to-good (9 Metacritic reviews from 55 to 85), with 'enjoyable but luck-dependent' as the recurring theme; no critic scored it negatively. Steam players are warmer (Very Positive all-time) though the most helpful negative reviews focus on RNG and balance. Steam lists a Daily Dungeon mode and 300+ unlockable items. No major controversy found; the Mac build is listed as not officially supporting M1 chips. OpenCritic score could not be retrieved in this run (web search budget was exhausted and the OpenCritic page could not be located), so it is recorded as null rather than guessed.

원문 · 영어Tier list Part 1 (2023)
원문 · 영어Ring of Pain is a dark, creepy deck-building roguelite where you move around a scrolling ring of cards and always face two at a time. Your equipment acts as your cards, and you fight and customize through it over each run. He loves the horror-ish vibe, art style, bosses and music. He finds the core gameplay a bit bland and repetitive, and runs feel samey unless you find interesting items. Overall it lands as a solid mid B tier.
