Challenging roguelike platformer Tallowmere brings its violent dungeons to Android
Raise your shield
After getting itself a Bronze Award on iOS, the brutal roguelike platformer Tallowmere is not out on Android.
It's all about trying to get as far through Lady Tallowmere's "lovingly violent" dungeons as you can.
These dungeons are procedurally generated too, so when you replay, the enemies, bosses, and treasure chests shuffle around.
What let Tallowmere down in our reviewer's opinion is its "clumsy controls." But they're part of the game's tricky design.
You have to micro-manage your character, raising the shield at the right time, then lowering it strike when opportunity rises.
And you'll need to avoid traps with aplomb if you wish to grab the key and advance.
Despite the control issues, our reviewer still said that it's a "great roguelike platformer, full of challenge and excitement."
You can purchase it on Google Play for £2.49 / $3.99 right now.
