SealChain: Call of Blood

SealChain: Call of Blood is a rich roguelike where the usual destruction of enemies gives way to inventory management and the creation of magical seals. The design is made in the spirit of anime and pixel graphics. Seals are created from found components, and their combinations produce different effects. The world is filled with smoke, and this affects the visibility and behavior of opponents. Beneath this lies the tragic story of the universe, which is consumed by an ominous purple fog. The mystical substance distorts reality, turning innocent creatures into bloodthirsty monsters, and only gifted mediums can stop them. The inventory is limited in volume, so some of the finds have to be left behind. It is better to sell some of the finds rather than drag them with you, because space is limited. The gameplay is based on the search for ideal synergy: the things found resonate with each other and form combinations that determine the style of combat. Sometimes it is more profitable to rearrange the order of items than to look for a new weapon. Mediums differ in their abilities, and the squad is assembled for a specific descent. Reactions between items reveal hidden effects worth looking for. The runs are different from each other, and the opponents become more dangerous towards the end of the descent. Updates add finds and enemies. The fog comes in waves, and enemies inside it become more dangerous. Opponents have vulnerabilities, and accurately hitting them decides the battle. For anyone who likes roguelikes with thoughtful assemblies, this road is suitable. Reviews note the visual style and depth of the assemblies. The patches add finds, enemies and minor balance changes.
