Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos
Although Rogues Heroes is another Zelda-esque dungeon crawler, it sets itself apart with its numerous class options, captivating environments, and addictive gameplay! The game has bugs and glitches, which can be annoying, especially in co-op mode. Nonetheless, it offers an entertaining adventure you won’t want to miss!
Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is a game that I didn’t expect to love as much as I did. With an in-depth upgrade system and the perfect mix of adventure and rogue-lite elements, fans of those genres will find themselves at home here.
Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos draws inspiration from some groundbreaking references when it comes to adventure games, and adds to them an extra level of challenge with a roguelite component. But while the simple gameplay, the world development possibilities and the co-op experience are indeed very welcome and well implemented, an overly simplistic plot, a lacklustre protagonist and redundant character development mechanics make this a game of limited appeal outside its narrowest target audience.

A pretty entertaining game that took me just over 17 hours to complete 100%. You quickly learn how to control it. It’s reminiscent of the good old 2D games. If you enjoy games like Zelda: A Link to the Past, there’s a very good chance you’ll enjoy this one as well. However, there are a few minor bugs that keep me from giving it a top rating. I experienced a few instances where the character would freeze for a few seconds, allowing me to turn but not move, and there were moments where enemies moved inside walls or other inaccessible areas. That said, the game is relatively inexpensive, so I’d say you get a lot of value for your money.

It's a pretty good little top down LTTP-like multiplayer game. The game has a lot going for it: the leveling up is fun, exploring the worlds with the different powers is fun, the dungeons are challenging. The game is let down, however, by a host of issues: online multiplayer is only somewhat stable, there are a ton of weird bugs/glitches, the enemy power levels feel wildly unfair at times and unbalanced, and the dungeons become repetitive after a while. Still, I love the core of this game and would love for the devs to make a sequel that improves upon this foundation.

This is a gem ****, I wish there were dozens more like it. This is the type of game I am regularly searching for to play alongside my kids. It takes heavy inspiration from 2D Zelda games which in my opinion is a good thing. The fact that it takes all the charm, character, puzzles, fun combat etc of a Zelda game, but then allows you to play with four players is just incredible! I have not played this game alone, but it shines as one of the best multiplayer experiences I have had. So much fun! If you enjoy couch coop games then please try it! And also check out our all time favorite multiplayer game - Towerfall! Both games have such charm, and care put into them. They are timeless and I’m so glad we discovered them.

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is a beautiful application of a roguelike system with a 2D dungeon crawler format married perfectly to a town-building system and overworld that invites exploration and grinding gems to uncover more things to do outside of combat. This is a no-brainer for classic Zelda fans or anyone looking for co-op fun, and it’s absolutely been the best gaming experience so far for me in 2021.

If you want a modern take on the classic Zelda formula that includes multiplayer and a health dose of both nostalgia and fresh experiences, I cannot recommend Rogue Heroes enough.

La mezcla perfecta entre aventura y rougelike, con los elementos justos de cada estilo y un diseño gráfico que recuerda a grandísimas obras pasadas, pero a la vez con personalidad propia. Además los controles están perfectamente adaptados a la Nintendo Switch, siendo más cómodo de jugar en esta plataforma que en PC. Sin duda una joya, uno de mis jeugos favoritos para la switch.

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is simply one of the best roguelikes out there so if you enjoy Zelda-style games, you won't regret it.

While sometimes skirting a bit close to the line between inspiration and clone, Rogue Heroes has a lot to love. If you have a few friends to take dungeon crawling with you, you will laugh together, you will loot together, and you will have to work as a team to succeed. My boys and I got a lot of enjoyment from playing Rogue Heroes, and I think most other players will do too.

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos is a tribute to the Zelda saga with roguelite mechanics and even farming and fishing. It offers extraordinary multiplayer options that will delight classic adventurers looking for something old school on Nintendo Switch.

Taking all aspects into consideration, I would highly recommend Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos. Despite its lack of engaging plot and characters, the gameplay is outstanding and makes the experience worth it on its own. I did not find myself wishing for a better plot and characters 99% of the time, because I was so caught up in trying to figure out how to make it through or find the next dungeon. Even better, the game can be multiplier, so it has the perfect setup to have a blast trying to get through the dungeons with family or friends.

Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos really is a blast to play both alone and with friends. The world is exciting to explore, and players never know what is going to be tucked away in some random corner for them to discover. Sadly, in its current state there are so many issues that manage to bring the whole experience down very quickly. Rogue Heroes: Ruins of Tasos needs to have many of its problems fixed before it will be accessible to the greater video game community.

I tried the demo first, which I highly recommend. The demo completely sold me on the game, then I played it on multiplayer with my daughter which took it up another level entirely. Basically the developers took "Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past", improved the basic game mechanics like movement speed and fighting, gave it some basic world-building elements, then slapped multiplayer on top. If you loved Link to the Past, you will love this. Sure there are some gotchas with multiplayer but this game is a gem. Plus you can sometimes get it on sale on **** (I got it for $12 which is a steal). Highly, highly recommend. 9/10

The game is ideal for switch. I was playing it while watching a series on TV and I had a great time. It is challenging at first but it has satisfying game loop. You go to the dungeon, you slay some monsters, you die, and then you can buy upgrades. It quickly becomes easier. It has some village management and cute Legend of Zelda like world and dungeons with plenty of secrets and puzzles. I had a smile on my face almost the entire time during playing the title. Later on, you are getting access to more advanced mechanics and you can spend hours searching for collectibles. I stopped after completing the main story but still it was a lot of fun.
