  The silent melody adds a lot of interesting mechanics to the core of the first game. You still go platforming through levels with great atmosphere but now there is a sense of progression outside of them, since you have a base which you can change however you want and a character that can also evolve through items and upgrades. There is also combat, looting and crafting added seamlessly to the levels so there are a bunch of different ways to enjoy the game.

  This is to increase awareness of the game: This game is worth purchasing and playing; the atmosphere is so chill and interesting and the mechanics are great. I love moving around, collecting resources, and figuring out how to defeat the enemies. It doesn't pull what I consider to be a cheap trick with some roguelites where everything seems or is unbeatable, instead the first few sections are to get you used to the mechanical flow and understand what is expected of you in each level. If inclined, I may flesh out this review. I'm satisfied with my purchase.

  💻 Description: Himno is a relaxing 2D platformer where death only comes from falling or getting killed by creatures or turrents. The levels are dark and ruin-like, yet emit tranquility and beauty as well. It's best played in short bursts, but if you just want to turn off your brain and relax, here's your chance. with only one goal: explore the districts and find their exits 🕹️ Gameplay The game revolves around walking and jumping around the various districts. The districts are always procedurally generated, so no two districts will ever be the same. It’s a perfect choice, especially considering that the game is about exploration. The levels consist of both floating and moving platforms, surfaces that invite wall-jumps, teleporting and a layer of water at the bottom of the screen. Falling into the water at the bottom or getting destroyed by exotic creatures, hostile machines. are the only way to die.. That being said, falling into the water or getting killed by turrents or creatures causes you to restart your run. That can be a bummer, but it’s nice knowing that that’s the only way you can die. ✅Pros: + Relaxed combat + Calm exploration based gameplay + Sound design puts you at ease + Random Levels offering great replayability + Easy to learn + Stable - no crashes yet ❌Cons - Not suitable for long bursts of play - Not a lot of varying content

  An extremely unusual game, at first glance it is clear that the developers were inspired by the game Terraria, from where they borrowed the style of the game. These graphics were complemented by the gloomy catacombs, and the stylish interface elegantly emphasized its uniqueness. The genre of this game combines the best of both: Rogue Legacy and Dead Cell. A huge variety of items, traps, monsters and artifacts. You can also choose a different type of weapon if you want to fight at close range then a sword is great for that, but if you want to kill your enemy from a distance and you need to do it from time to time then you will need something else. for example "Heavy Fiber Staff". Also, do not forget about construction, collect all the loot and take it to your pre-prepared secluded place 😉

  Great game to add to the collection and worth every cent 10 outa 10 Movement is smooth and satisfying Combat simple yet challenging Death... inevitable and very costly! Sense of progression is there, so far it seems like a slog, but I can see it getting easier as you get better at the game Only negative so far is the lack of online Multiplayer.. plz mr dev man.. Love your game, would love to love it along with some distant friends

  Original review (90 minutes) below: After 10h, I have to say - I am super impressed with this roguelike. You basically visit procedurerally generated levels, in different biomes, where you fight -if you want to- and collect resources. You have a camp to which you can go back to -but not whenever you'd like- either by defeating a miniboss every 4 levels, or by finding a special object by chance. Alternatively - you can chug a potion, but you lose 45% of your inventory upon teleportation. There's about 10 different crafting stations: potions, magic, weapons, guns, character upgrades, equipment upgrades, automation, building, etc... you can build and place them wherever - including the camp, and uproot them and carry them with you if you wish. There's a lot of very interesting systems - but nothing is explained, and you're supposed to piece together by yourself how things work - and I'm having a _blast_ doing this. I have only visited two biomes so far, because i either die, or I want to backtrack to my camp with good loot - but there seems to be plenty of them. Music is extraordinary, ambient and unintrusive, fitting the atmosphere perfectly. The equipment that gives you abilities, make exploration very, very fun. Combat is also not a mindless clickfest - you have to time your shield. Basically _everything_ you're doing, is fun. The way things are going - I'll be sinking dozens and dozens of hours in this game. Huge thumbs up! Original review: Bought because reviews, stayed because - interesting! I'd demote "unique" part to "rare" - I've seen this type of gameplay already in "Magicite" and "Roguelands". However, this _does_ take it quite few notches higher, in complexity and the fact that it lets you travel back to your camp (with resource loss) so... its not that unforgiving... I still have to play to learn it, because it doesn't teach you literally anything (which I consider a plus), but it was fun enough that 10min tryout turned into 90min session. I do recommend.

  I am... (I won't dare say it) a fan of this publisher. It all started with the fact that I just found a site where I could take part in the drawing of games and by the way a couple of them won ;) Then I found out that the studio puts out their own games and got interested in them... I can not in my opinion about Himno praise such games as: Fantasy Blacksmith or Garbage or Little Dungeon Stories. These are interesting games that amazed me (I bought them only at a huge discount of at least 50%) but now we are not talking about them... I just wanted to tell you that I have something to compare it to. Himno reminds me two of my favourive games - Terraria and Enter the Gungeon, combined together and with new additional mechanics. And that's the main reason why Himno appeared in my collection. I especially liked the UI and the inventory/crafting system in the game, it looks very cool. The combat system and music are just as good. But the bosses could have been added more. In the end, I would like to say that if you like roguelike games, then this game is exactly for you!

  As someone who definitely spent more than 10 hours in the original game (it takes a while to get to district 250) I can say with confidence that this is better. One small problem I have is the complete and utter lack of a tutorial, but the game is in alpha so that doesn't matter. The progression is slightly finicky but despite that It is good. I have been having a blast with it, no I'm serious, help me, I haven't played anything with my friends since I bought this, I already cleared all the current bosses but I am still trying to figure out THEGODDAMNPOWERSYSTEM so I can upgrade my sword and backwheel to even ungodlier levels. 10/10 would reduce my social life to ash again. P.S. - backwheel is absolutely broken, please keep it that way. P.P.S - good gam yes, verr good gam, bes gam P.P.P.S. - enemies are a bit repetitive and the turrets in the ice area are the bane of the entirety of my existence, please dev I am B E G G I N G you please add more types and/or just more enemies in the future, I wanna run from a massive horde of robo-worms, with this godly movement system.

  Himno: TSM is a fun, laid-back combat platforming game with rogue-like elements. The hints of lore, unique ambiance and active development of the game keep pulling me back just to enjoy another run.

  This is the most raw game I enjoyed, it's definitevely in it's baby steps still, but the core of what it does is actually good, movement feels fluid, exploring is fun and the beauty of the visuals and the music makes for a really relaxing atmosphere, so far the game major weakness is variety, but as it is in alpha thats expected
