  It is a well put-together game that showcases that the old-school style of Roguelikes can be updated without turning it into a platformer or action game. While it is something that I personally found enjoyable, it is undeniably a niche title that uses almost exclusively small text boxes to explain complicated parts that are useful to know. It’s hard to suggest unless you already know that you enjoy turned based strategies involving very carefully dismantling a much more powerful force.

  And yet, for all that, Arcen's latest delivers an undeniable rush of triumph once you manage to overcome the final confrontation. Most times you'll fail, however, but if you're not put off by the limitations of the presentation and the sheer brutality of Bionic Dues' challenges, you'll find an enjoyable roguelike that rewards your persistence and determination.

  Putting these minor gripes aside; if you can’t tell already, I really like this game. Indie devs don’t always come up with the goods, but Arcen are doing a damn fine job of it. Bionic Due is not only a necessary purchase for all true rogue-clone fans, but it’d easily be a pride-worthy addition to the game collection of anyone with even a remote interest in this sort of thing. This game is a great laugh and a good challenge; Arcen Games, hat’s off to you chaps.
