It's an ok game, nothing special but its' **** this price is a fine addition to your library.

The most enjoyable, addictive game I have ever played in the platform genre. The sound effects of the land combo is super **** boss battles are balanced enough that it ain't hard but hard enough

Literally a mobile game that doesn't have ads. If it was on a phone originally it would be rated much higer.

8/10

(Reseña sacada de mi cuenta de Steam: APolChrome) Downwell es... curioso. Es un juego con un género muy moderno (como son los rogue-likes), pero muchas cosas muy arcade. Pero, lo hace sorprendentemente bien. No me lo he pasado antes de escribir esto por pereza, porque engancha que no veas. El gameplay es el mayor exponente del juego. Es simple: eres un hombre que baja por un pozo con unas botos pistola. Ya está. En 4 fases con 3 niveles cada una (sin incluir el boss final), tendremos que demostrar nuestras habilidades como bajador de pozos. Los controles son sublimes y es frenético como pocos juegos, aunque a veces se pasa de frenético , teniendo demasiados enemigos en pantalla. La vida es escasa y eso el juego lo sabe. Conseguir vida es difícil y te dan 1 punto la mayoría de veces, por lo que no puedes tirarte a lo loco. Pero para eso están los estilos, que añaden pequeñas variaciones (como no tener mejores, tener más vida...) al gameplay y que hacen todavía más distinta cada run. La mecánica más grande del juego (y la que le da variedad) son las mejoras. Al igual que en la mayoría de juegos del género, al superar un nivel, nos darán la opción de escoger entre algunas mejoras. Algunas son de ganar vida de manera directa (como la manzana, que da 4 PS al instante) o indirecta (como la de consumir enemigos muertos), que al conseguir gemas suceda algo (como que se recarguen las botas pistola o que suelten una bala para arriba) o efectos que afectarán a como juegas (como el dron, que duplica tus disparos). Aunque no reinventan cada partida, si que las varían bastante y hacen que cada partida tengas que plantearla de manera diferente. Audiovisualmente, es un juego de máquina arcade casi, con gráficos 8 bits y una música del mismo número de bits. No me extrañaría que con lo imaginativa que es la comunidad alguien haya hecho una máquina arcade para Downwell, porque le pega estar en un salón recreativo. Como la narrativa es nula, solo voy a decir que Downwell me parece un juego muy sólido y que por 3 €, puedes llegar a sentirte un ladrón ante tal robo que estás cometiendo. Recomendadísimo (sobre todo para ratitos de 10 minutos en los que no sabes qué hacer)

Very difficult skill based gameplay and great replayability , Downwell is an indie masterpiece. The way it combines the platformer and vertical shooter is genius. 10/10.

Crunchy, fun, endlessly replayable arcade-style game. The roguelike structure perfectly enhances a pick-up-and-play structure that appears to be the basis of the game. It excels perfectly at what it does, and only gets an 8 due to the inherent limitations of this kind of gameplay. More than worth $3.

Downwell is a fantastic little roguelike but is is dripping with untapped potential. I would recommend Downwell.

What is it that makes me like this game so much? For 3 bucks you can't go wrong. It's a just one more run kind of game plus you get to rescue a cat at the end.

Best-in-class for its price. Fast and super tight gameplay, tons of style, and easy to pick up and play for short stints. That being said, I definitely found it hard to put down. For me, it's definitely one of those "one more run" kind of games.

Fun roguelike little game with a minimalistic art and a fantastic gameplay. Is fun and very hard.

Por fuera parece poca cosa, pero cuando te adentras en él te das cuenta de que tiene bastante más contenido de lo que creías. Es divertido, puramente divertido. No puedo poner decimales, pero se merece un siete muy alto.

Downwell feels dreadfully overrated, but from looking at other users, I guess not. It's just a simple experience and despite being procedural generated, manages to feel the same most times you play. So you get random weapons... wow. That's what makes the game addictive, the fact that you MIGHT get something new next time.

Cast: n/a Story: n/a Fun: 9/10 Gameplay: 10/10 Recommended ---------------------- This game accomplishes exactly what it wants to accomplish.

Pretty fun game for playing in your free times and a pretty good game for playing try hard beacuse is frustrating for complete it but so satisfactory.

Downwell is good arcade game, mechanics are simple, but extremely satisfying. It is easy to learn and very hard to master. The game is short but highly replayable.

Downwell is a fun game, that is progressively challenging, but once you've played it for a few minutes, you've basically experienced all the game has to offer in terms of content. There are upgrades and such, but the gameplay is fairly limited, and gets repetitive quite quickly due to this. However, for what it's worth, it is initially a pretty good time killer, and a polished game that deserves to at least be checked out.

Fun. Chaotic fun, but fun nonetheless. Insanely difficult. This game's not about "have you beaten it?", it's "how far have you got". It's pretty fun to compare your high score to your friend's high score

This game is nothing more than a snack. It is VERY VERY VERY hard to beat. Really hard. I just spent my ******* 24 hours to beat it and force my willpower but nothing happened.

Combo system is addictive for a few minutes, but the game itself is lacking a lot of substance, the roguelike element is simply a cheap way to extend length in what's otherwise a game that has no challenge, the music is uninspired, the graphics are incredibly dull. It's another one of these NES-era inspired games, but not a good one, instead it's the kind you'd rent as a kid after spending an hour looking at everything else in the store because all the good games were gone, then immediately having your parents take it back for in-store credit for a future rental after playing for 15 minutes and realizing how bad it was.

i think everyone can see this is a masterpiece on gaming with its leve design and arcade similarity, having an almost perfect sidescroller videogame for IOs and PC.

This is an excellent ARCADE GAME. As in, you play it for 30 minutes, do something else, and come back later. Yes, you will lose every time. Yes, it is unfair. But, every 10th game when you make it to the 3rd level, and every 50th game you make it to the 4th level, your heart will be pumping! And, it has a surprising amount of depth and replayability as you learn how to maximize combos, use the different weapons, and choose upgrades in between stages. Really, for $3 this is the best value I've ever gotten from a game. It surprises me so many low reviews!! Probably kids see the very high metascore, buy it for just $3, and then are frustrated they can't master it immediately. Sheesh, that is the beauty of unforgiving RNG games.

I bought this game first on PC. I had so much fun with it I purchased it again on my iPhone as soon as I had to leave my PC. If you enjoy fun, buy this game.

That was pretty fun, I guess. I'll give it another go. Wow, combos are pretty cathartic. Nice. Okay, one more game. Holy crap, so many gems... alright, just one more game. ... just one more game..
