Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Zach Mckay
Ravenswatch is a solid tried and true roguelike with many different ways to play through the options of heroes available to players. It's difficult and rewarding for solo or co-op parties and does its best to be an interesting experience. With the diverse cast of heroes and challenging side quests, it's hard not to queue up several runs a day. Every character we have was given the care of a compelling story on why and how their tale took a darker turn. We see the developer taking something old and making it new for us once again. It's truly awesome to see old stories given new life to become something else altogether.
GameSpace: 7 / 10
Overall, Ravenswatch is a decent game for those who enjoy co-operative action-RPGs and aren't afraid of the trials of a roguelike, but it lacks the polish and variety to qualify for top marks.
NoobFeed: 75 / 100 by Ahnaf Tajwar
Ravenswatch is a fun roguelike romp with a neat co-op mode, tactical combat, and many memorable characters. Perhaps it lacks the narrative complexity or polish of some other titles within the genre, but its inventive retelling of well-known fairy tale characters and that eerie, atmospheric setting does make it interesting.
Ravenswatch Description
Ravenswatch is an action adventure game with roguelike elements. It was developed by Passtech Games, also responsible for Curse of the Dead Gods, and published by Nacon.
Plot
Ravenswatch is set in a fantasy land of Reverie. Its inhabitants struggle against forces of evil called nightmares, which destroy and decay everything in their path. We play as heroes inspired by characters from legends, folk tales and fairy tales; these include Beowulf, the Snow Queen and the Pied Piper of Hamelin. They must repel the invasion before it's too late.
Mechanics
Ravenswatch makes use of the top-down perspective. The player traverses procedurally generated locations, completes quests and kills hordes of enemies. Combat is dynamic, requiring proper use of every individual character, each of which has their own fighting style and abilities. Aside from regular foes, we'll also face powerful bosses guarding the way to subsequent stages. There are plenty of opportunities for character growth, as they gain strength alongside upgrades and better gear.
Game modes
Ravenswatch supports singleplayer and online co-op for up to four people.
Technical aspects
Ravenswatch retains the colorful, comic book-like artstyle known from Passtech Games' previous project.
