It takes proper timing to chain standard strikes into a combo and the life-saving dash move has a cooldown, but once you get a sense of a weapon’s rhythm and how the monsters attack combat can be quick and powerful. He can carry two weapons at once, with their abilities scaling in power based on stats, and combat is best thought of as careful button-mashing. While functionally immortal he can be taken out, and in standard roguelike fashion ends up back in the village with any weapons found in the latest dungeon run but all levels and accessories stripped away. An adventurer in a plague doctor mask is exploring the old ruins when he’s defeated but doesn’t actually die, ending up in a strange little village with only a couple of people to explain what’s going on. Loot River is an action-roguelike with a unique setting, featuring a bit of light puzzling in the dungeons to go with its Dark Souls-styled deliberate combat. While the pieces can’t rotate they do slide in one of the four standard directions, and the trick is to use this not just to create a path through the maze but also arrange it for the best approach towards the monsters waiting to snack on a careless adventurer. The overall dungeon outline may be set in (literal) stone but the passageway through? That’s a very different thing, because each raft is it’s own tetronimo-styled piece of the pathway. Loot River’s dungeons, on the other hand, were built on water, with the progress only possible by linking rafts together every which way. It’s been slowly aging away for centuries or even millennia and the caverns and hallways are pretty well settled by now. The average dungeon is a fairly stable place, ignoring the monsters.
