Choose your champion and face a relentless crawl through the card-based dungeons, collect items to power your abilities and defeat the gruesome monsters facing you. But keep going FORWARD! **2022 Megamigs Award Winner** **2022 Tiny Teams Fest Nominee** **2022 DemoNight Nominee** Forward is an innovative game in which you will progress through a procedurally-generated dungeon in the form of cards. Move your character from one card to another and keep going forward while avoiding attacking enemies. However be careful, each card will have specific effects making each move important and strategic. Your goal is to clear the 8 levels of a dungeon, each level getting increasingly difficult. In order to succeed, you will have to choose which move to make, which item to pick and use your skills. Each choice is critical. Take advantage of many items combinations and build the best character possible based on your goal and the cards you’ll come across. Features: - 100+ item cards to improve your characters - 9 playable characters with unique skills and game mechanics - 27 unique active competencies - 3 game modes As Forward is a rogue-like inspired game, the features you’ll be able to find are : - Death ends the game - Procedurally-generated dungeons - Turn-based movements - Resource management (health, armor, mana, gold etc) - Many randomly drawn items The game is based on the 2022 PC game Forward: Escape the Fold which was received very positively. Developed by Two Tiny Dice, its success prompted the developer to bring the game to mobile.

Along with the terribly ugly app icon. But that aside it does look and sound interesting for sure and at that price with these comments so far I think I’ll have to buy it. jkluk23 and Anotherkellydown like this.

But crazy couple of weeks. Tried the tutorial. Seems like there is a ton here. Lot of risk vs reward. Simple yet strategic gameplay. I think lots will love this. I have to play more to really give my impression. So far I do like it. Want to play more but exhausted. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #8 ste86uk, Feb 1, 2023 Read some reviews and watched a short video and bought it, for £1.79 I don’t think I can go wrong with getting value for my money on this one. adamphetamine and jkluk23 like this.

I competed the tutorial and started my first run. So far, fantastic. Ghostdog1 Well-Known Member Jan 30, 2015 319 124 43 #10 Ghostdog1, Feb 1, 2023 The game is a bit shallow for a roguelike and it’s not so hard to win. And after a lot of runs I had to realize there is not really much to unlock. After 4 hours im quite sure i have seen all possible relicts and upgrades. Forward: Escape The Fold is very similar in concept to EverCrawl but without the upgrades in between the playthroughs. The best part about Forward is the idea of corrupted relicts. They all bring negativ effects but the more you have the more powerful are some positive items. And somehow the games i have lost i never had the feeling i could do something different, it was mostly unfair RNG. I also dislike that it‘s always best to avoid any fighting. I still like it but it’s really a small game. NonSoft Well-Known Member Aug 13, 2010 103 9 18 #11 NonSoft, Feb 1, 2023 Interesting take, but I'd offer a counterpoint just because I think this game is so much fun. In terms of complexity, it certainly isn't at the level of something like StS, but with ~200 cards, 8 playable characters, and 3 different abilities per characters, it allows for a ton of variety in playthroughs and builds. I just finished unlocking the characters in Classic mode and haven't yet tried Expert mode which seems like it is a significant step up in difficulty or the Journey mode which allows you to customize the difficulty. I do agree that Classic mode is pretty easy, but that seems to only be the tip of the iceberg for what is offered. In any event, for a quick, bite-sized, card based roguelike (with portrait mode) on mobile, this is perfect for me. adamphetamine and Ijipop like this. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 1,000 113 #12 ste86uk, Feb 1, 2023 @Ghostdog1 still in work so haven’t tried it yet but the post above makes sense and even if they are wrong and you’ve also done all of that, what else could you do and enjoy for £1.79 for 4 hours? That’s how I think of and justify some game costs, value for my time. adamphetamine, macplash, elcrazy and 2 others like this. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #13 metalcasket, Feb 2, 2023 Typos fixed.

Will definitely give it some more playtime, I don’t think it’s going to be one of my favourite games or anything but it’s pretty good and especially for the price still.
