Netherworld Covenant shows plenty of smart ideas in its combat, but for a roguelike, its build variety and environmental diversity fall short. The narrow, repetitive progression quickly leads to fatigue, even when the core loop shows promise.

Overall Netherworld Covenant was all in all an okay game, despite the weak and basic narrative, average graphics, and the randomly generated labyrinths which become rather boring and tiring after a while, I still found myself getting some enjoyment out of it even if it wasn’t as consistent as I would have liked it to be. There wasn’t anything special about it, nor did it have anything which made it standout in its subgenre, making it average at best.

Netherworld Covenant is a game full of promise. Its compelling combat, evocative worldbuilding, and cleverly designed movement systems show a clear understanding of what makes both Soulslikes and roguelikes compelling. Though its weapon variety and power-up balance still need fleshing out, this early access title already has the bones of something truly special. With continued support and expansion, it could grow into a genre-defining experience. [Early Access Review]

I was left with the impression that this title fulfills its purpose well: to be an action roguelike with a hint of soulslike, presenting a dark atmosphere and challenging ****'s not the most innovative game in the genre, but it does an excellent job combining precision mechanics with roguelike progression and varied builds.Those who enjoy games that demand patience, experimentation, and rewarded repetition will find a dense and honest experience here. On the other hand, players seeking a strong narrative or more linear mechanics may find the experience "more of the same" or even frustrating in runs.Ideal for those who like to have their mistakes punished, making each victory worth the sweat and calloused fingers.
