  This game is a little lacking in fun factor and content. It's really short (I beat it in 3 hours), and to me there doesn't seem to be much reason to replay it. Both of those factors seem crazy for a roguelike. The graphics are amazing though, one of the few retro games that genuinely looks like it's from back in the day. The CRT emulation settings are really cool, especially the way it makes it look like you're using an old TV with curved edges. You can even see the reflection of sprites on the edges of the "physical" tv. That really took me back. The music is ace too. The gameplay just isn't too compelling.

  This game is great. I've been a fan of Minor Key Games other 2D platformers. I love roguelite elements of random procedural generation as well as permadeath. These elements combined with awesome music and tight controls make for a great game. This is a run-based game with some elements of previous runs (success or not) impacting the next. A small con is that he game can be short. You might find yourself satisfied at 5-6 hours. I stick with it longer doing some achievement chasing. If you like the things I mentioned, give it a shot. At worse you'll find out quick that it's not for you and can get a refund. If you aren't sure at all then give You Have to Win the Game a try. It's free and about an hour long.

  I played at least an hour of the game fine, but then came bug that wouldnt let me use the y button(Secondary Weaspon), I tried three different xbox 360 and one controllers, i tried the ps4 and even the mouse and keyboard but nothing worked finally tried it on my gaming laptop by reinstalling on the lap top and the bug was still there, so Sadly i had to ask for a refund because i couldnt play as intended, So sorry. I really loved what i played but the bug made it not thast fun

  As you can see from the trailer, this goes further than most retro games into creating an "authentic" NES look and feel. That includes "NES difficulty," and I don't just mean the game is hard. It's hard in the dumb, janky ways that a lot of NES games were. I mean really annoying enemies with placements that are complete BS to deal with. Hope you like climbing a ladder with an enemy camping at the top of it (of course you will get hit by touching him). But this is a fun challenge if you're up for that. You can loop it like an arcade game, with neat things happening when you beat it more than once in a row. Combat is very similar to Zelda II with sub-weapons from Castlevania thrown in. You can find randomized upgrades as you go, which will dramatically affect how your run goes. If you're man enough, play this sht. Oh, and the CRT mode is very nice. --- Update 7/14/2017: Once you've beaten the game multiple times and gotten the good ending, it becomes a bit too RNG-dependent. My runs consistently succeed or fail based on whether I find a specific item during the run. I still recommend the game since I had a really good time with it up until this point.

  J. Kyle Pittman's games with Minor Key Games are hyper-polished platformers, comparable in every way to the best and brightest bits of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. The world of Gunmetal Arcadia (and its hand-crafted prequel, Gunmetal Arcadia Zero) follow on the heels of Super Win the Game, using the classic platforming mechanics and CRT emulation for a roguelike tale of elven factions at war, hives of evil critters, and a monstrous queen spreading its evil with the Seed of Unmaking. As with other roguelikes, levels are randomly generated while following predictable patterns. There are only four chapters and four endings with all but the final boss pulled randomly. A single successful playthrough should take around 40 minutes. It'll take a while, however, to get to that first successful run, with my first taking 13 attempts over 3.75 hours. There are legacy aspects -- bonuses to make your run easier -- that hold over from one playthrough to the next, but only the next. (This means, a single failed run could set you back pretty far if you rely on those stacked bonuses.) Over the course of the dungeons, you'll run into many genre staples, including shops and inns, faction outposts and monster traps. Factions offer another welcome layer of complexity, however small: By joining either the warriors or the academics, you gain access to exclusive items and massive discounts when you come across their outposts. You'll be forced to ignore the opposing faction's offerings if you join one, as they loathe one another and will force impossible price hikes to opposing members. The randomly-generated levels don't hold up quite as well as the hand-crafted ones in the bite-sized prequel, but the game as a whole offers more content, and the legacy aspects and random surprises in each playthrough make this an improvement over Zero. It's also not terribly difficult, but Gunmetal Arcadia emulates the absolute best of the NES: There's a strong sense of nostalgia to playing Gunmetal Arcadia, even though it's its own original property. It just feels fantastic to play, and has become a go-to when I'm in the mood to cozy up and play vegetable. I love both sides of Minor Key Games. J. Kyle and David Pittman both create their own unique, fantastic games, and Gunmetal Arcadia fits right alongside the best of the indie gaming scene. Support these devs and play it.

  This game looked really intriguing: nice chiptune soundtrack, charming pixel art that still sticks to NES limitations, and random generation to keep it fresh. While these features are executed well, I found the gameplay to be severely lacking, esp. if you compare it to the NES titles it's drawing from. To put it succintly: the combat is just not fun. A good deal of enemies simply walk at you, but because of how quickly you can swing your default sword you're in no real danger of them ever hitting you. Most fights boil down to an enemy trying to walk into you while you mindlessly mash attack until they die. The only enemies who pose any threat to you are the tiny ones who either dash at you or shoot at you, often at the border of the camera before you can see them. While this is accurate to how a lot of old titles played, I don't think it's very good game design. The bosses seemed a bit better, I'll admit, but there's just so much tedium in between them. Then there are more minor quibbles: chests that spawn in when you clear a room can damage you for some reason, and there is no indication of where they're going to spawn from. Who thought this was a good idea? It's like a kick in the shins for doing the challenge they set out for you. The upgrades didn't seem all that necessary given how easy the game was; I'm sure they become more relevant in subsequent runs but again, you need to draw the player in enough for them to want to actually do that. While random level generation is a fun idea, I think it's a big reason this game feels so dull to me; more deliberate enemy placement would feel more interesting, but because you can't replicate a level designer's intelligence that easily the game has to make up for it by adding artificial difficulty with the aforementioned tiny enemies. To put it succintly, this game absolutely feels like something that would've come out on the NES; unfortunately this extends to the limited gameplay and artificial difficulty. Castlevania, a game this clearly had some inspiration from, still holds up today because of the depth in fighting (you can't just spam attacks and expect good results, you actually have to time it out) and fiendish yet fair level designs. If you're really patient then you may be able to get something out of this, but personally I can't recommend it: for those of us with limited free time, the "it gets better X hours in" argument is not going to cut it

  Roguelike side scrolling platformer, and there's some fun to be had here, but the controls need to be just a little bit tighter to be a recommend. Try fighting near a ladder and you'll regret your purchase.
