There are such a lot of roguelike deckbuilders on the market, however what about roguelike deckbuilders that may really be performed by anybody, together with children? Springfox Video games‘ Nif Nif needs to supply one thing in that house which the entire household can get pleasure from, and it is now on Kickstarter.
The sport, which already has a Steam web page up and operating (along with a public demo), comes from a staff led by Masha Mallet, “an entrepreneur mom who did not discover many choices among the many technique video games appropriate for her youngsters.” The studio’s pillars, per its web site, are “accessibility and non-violence, technique for all, and variety.” We will get behind all that, however how’s the precise sport? I performed the demo earlier than its launch and have some ideas.
As teased by its newest trailer, Nif Nif has all the essential methods and mechanics we have come to count on from the style it is attempting to interrupt into. You need to put collectively a deck full of motion playing cards and instruments, progress by a procedurally generated map full of various encounters and occasions, and attempt to turn out to be as robust as doable earlier than reaching the ultimate boss. At the very least that is what the demo presents.
