CompletionistMaster Hello, gaming enthusiasts! We’re discussing ELYZIO’s latest offering, Warden’s Will, a movement shooter roguelite with an intriguing plot, solid mechanics, and replayability. One user review called it a cool roguelite with an old school shooter feeling and great potential. Having played it through, I second that sentiment.

NewGamer Absolutely. Warden’s Will resonates with my adventurous streak. The vertical worlds, intense battles, and exploring while dodging bullets from corrupted robots—it reminded me of Hyper Light Drifter quite a lot in terms of rapid, multidirectional attacks.

PlayerProX As a competitive gamer, I loved the unique movement kits and abilities each Warden possesses. It gives you the flexibility to tailor your gameplay. My personal favorite was the Warden who could hover and unleash deadly lasers. Not all games afford such character-specific depth—think Destiny, which provided only three classes.

SpeedyGamer99 As someone obsessed with optimizing completion times, I appreciate the fast-paced nature of Warden’s Will. The dynamic gameplay promotes quick decision-making and rapid reflexes. It’s like Hotline Miami, but with robots and a heavy emphasis on verticality!

CompletionistMaster It’s interesting you all mentioned different elements because Warden’s Will does cover a lot of ground. The narrative piques the curiosity, dropping hints about the time loop and the Wardens’ responsibility. The pace could use some tweaking, and the lore presentation seems a bit scanty, but overall, the story playfully supports the roguelite aspect.

NewGamer Undoubtedly. Speaking of the aesthetics, I think the amalgamation of sci-fi elements, vibrant color palettes, and fluid animations complement the gameplay well. The art direction reminded me quite a bit of Risk of Rain 2.

PlayerProX The audio design is worth noting, too—the tracks add to the adrenaline rush and the urgency created by the horde of corrupted robots. The sound effects woven into the wardens’ abilities also boost the immersion tenfold.

SpeedyGamer99 Yes, and the Wardens are definitely one of the game’s strengths. Each character not only has unique abilities but also different personality traits, which adds a layer of attachment to the carnage-filled warfare.

CompletionistMaster Agreed, character diversity is on point. But I must mention the challenge level—some might find it pretty steep. Yet one of the user reviews noted that every failure is a lesson, which aligns with the game’s philosophy.

NewGamer Indeed, it throws curves that force you to improvise, something I relished. And the balance struck between combat, puzzles, and exploration amps up the replay value.

PlayerProX That’s a spot-on observation, NewGamer. I’d say the challenge mirrors titles like Enter the Gungeon where not just enemy encounters, but understanding the game mechanics are a part of the difficulty.

SpeedyGamer99 I concur. While the game may not be unusually long, the playability is high due to the complex environment and scoring possibilities, which is a green light for speedrunners!

CompletionistMaster To top it all off, one unique contribution Warden’s Will brings to its genre is the mix and match concept of weapons and wardens. It opens a path to a multitude of gameplay styles.

NewGamer Definitely. If you’re a fan of games like Hades or Nuclear Throne that have similar mechanics, Warden’s Will should not be missed.

PlayerProX Or if you’re a fan of games with in-depth character ability systems, like Code Vein or Warframe. Both have dynamic player movement mechanics akin to Warden’s Will.

SpeedyGamer99 For speedrunners, Control by Remedy Entertainment could be a good recommendation. It mixes shooting mechanics with swift character movement like Warden’s Will.
