This New Roguelike Wants To Make Its Difficulty More Welcoming

This New Roguelike Wants To Make Its Difficulty More Welcoming https://ift.tt/4IGbQgh Murals might look like a stylish take on the Hades roguelike formula at first glance, but Disney Illusion Island developer Dlala Studios isn't aiming to copy Supermassive's homework. Instead, the studio is looking to put its own spin on the genre , as it fuses dark fairy tales and hews closer to the action-first approach of modern-day Doom and Diablo.
