Обсуждения игроков
Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийA 2D pixel-art side-scrolling RPG platformer by solo dev Sean Young (SmashGames) with permadeath, randomly generated underground dungeons, combine-any-two-items crafting and local/online co-op.
Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSteam players rate it Very Positive (about 85% of roughly 7.6k reviews) and many describe it as a charming, replayable, challenging roguelite with great music and crafting. The big caveat is that development stopped years ago, and the late updates left game-breaking bugs (final-boss/victory-screen crashes, chicken cooking freezing the game, multiplayer false-loss bugs). A vocal share of the negative reviews are about abandonment and the developer's shift to Roguelands rather than the core design. No professional critic coverage exists (no Metacritic critic score, no OpenCritic entry found); Metacritic has only a small user score (7.3 from 32 ratings). A community fan patch and a 'Rewritten' project keep interest alive, but the player count is tiny (around 12-13 concurrent).

Что критикуют игроки
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийAbandoned: no official updates for years, with the developer having moved on to Roguelands
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLate-game bugs that can make the game unwinnable, such as crashes at the final boss or victory screen
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSpecific known bugs: cooking raw chicken freezes the game, forced wolf riding with no jump-off, shopkeeper interaction icon disappearing
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMultiplayer is buggy: false 'all players downed' game overs, players falling through the floor on restart, desyncs
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMultiplayer lacks Steam integration and in-game communication tools, so people rely on third-party workarounds
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMouse cursor flicker bug reported since 2021 and never fixed
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSome players consider it overpriced or mediocre compared to many modern roguelites
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSome unlocks are obscure and hard to figure out
Отличительные особенности
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCombine-any-two-items crafting as the core progression system rather than fixed recipe trees
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSide-scrolling Terraria/Spelunky-style platforming blended with RPG stats, races, hats and companions
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCo-op permadeath where the run only ends when the whole party is down
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийInspired by Monster Hunter and Spelunky per the store description, unusual for a 2D pixel roguelite
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPersistent unlocks (races, hats, companions) that change how each run plays
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийActive community-made fixes (MagiciteFanPatches, Magicite: Rewritten) extending the life of an abandoned game
Спорные моменты
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийValue: fans say it is a hidden gem worth it despite bugs, while others call it abandonware to avoid at full price
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийDifficulty: described both as infuriating and as deeply satisfying
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMultiplayer: some love the co-op, others find it the most frustrating and buggiest part (and it is local/3rd-party rather than Steam-integrated)
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийReviewers disagree on whether abandonment should drag down a game they otherwise enjoy (several negative reviews are explicitly about the developer rather than the gameplay)
Повторы и неудобства
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийRepeatedly rerolling stats until a desirable combination appears
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийEarly game feels punishing and opaque until the mechanics click
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийWriting down crafting recipes because the game doesn't record them
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHunting for unlock conditions that are not explained
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийWorking around broken bugs (shopkeepers, wolf mount) mid-run
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCo-op sessions ending in frustrating false-loss resets
Ожидаемые улучшения
- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийAdd a tutorial or early guidance; new players get little direction on doors, recipes or systems

- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSave discovered crafting recipes so players don't have to write them down

- Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийExplain or fix obscure unlocks
Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLaunched June 9, 2014 (Steam, $9.99, Win/Mac/Linux) and built an enduring audience, with a Very Positive Steam rating that has held even as the review count grew past 7.5k. The developer stopped supporting it years ago to work on Roguelands, and players say the final update introduced game-breaking bugs, which fuels many recent negative reviews and some resentment toward the developer. The community is small but still active on Steam forums (matchmaking threads, 'Anyone still plays?' posts), with unofficial fixes like MagiciteFanPatches and a 'Magicite: Rewritten' effort. Metacritic shows only a small user score (7.3/10 from 32 ratings, no critic reviews). Note: my WebSearch budget was exhausted so no Reddit or outlet reviews could be read; Reddit and Fandom wiki fetches were blocked. Estimated sales figures come from third-party models and are not audited; the revenue calculator gave no explicit copy count (price math suggests roughly 200k+ units, but that conflicts with SteamSpy's 500k-1M owner estimate, which likely includes keys, bundles and free copies).

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийTier list Part 1 (2023)
Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMagicite (2014) is an older survival-exploration roguelike where you create a character, get dropped into a world, and explore to gain stronger gear in order to save the world. He was excited to try it because he had played the developer's later game. He respects it as a hardcore, historically influential title but found it slow and grindy, and got tired of it after a short play. He says he would be more likely to play it than Exit the Gungeon, but does not state a tier letter.
