Your journey through the Crucible has you fighting hordes upon hordes of enemies and overcoming deviously laid traps.

Unspeakable power and a chance to uncover your true fate.

    Leap of Fate was a pleasant surprise in the crowded rogue-like genre and provides a great value for all the variations in play styles. While the game suffers from a sense of repetition after repeated play throughs with enemies and challenges, gamers looking for a solid action oriented affair will have plenty to keep coming back for.

    Despite not having controller support, Leap of Fate still manages to be an entertaining title. If you like your roguelikes a little more fast-paced and cyberpunk, this is the game for you.

    The game isn’t without its problems with one in particular being that it’s tough to see when your character takes damage sometimes. Also, the special abilities take a tick longer to activate, and in that time you can take damage. The levels can blend together a bit as you run around shooting at enemies, and you start at the beginning each time. The different characters do change things up, but you still have a six level structure to complete no matter who you play as. Through it all, you’re given a really well designed arcade shooter with a lot of details to appreciate as you’re consistently attacking. Leap of Fate delivers an engaging shooter experience that is well worth picking up.

    If you enjoy roguelikes but want something you can play for half an hour at a time and actually see progress, I strongly recommend Leap of Fate. It has great value, an interesting story, and fun gameplay. If it had a multiplayer component so I could team up with a friend, I’d be giving it a nine out of ten for sure.

    While it's a rogue-lite game overall, the difficulty curve is gentle enough that it will be widely accessible, but the difficulty spikes most commonly seen in the level bosses help to ensure that there's a challenge for more experienced players. Hard difficulty isn't hard enough to sate the most voraciously masochistic of gaming appetites, but if there is a tier above Hard, I expect it'll give even the best gamers a run for their money.
