The Weaponographist is a speedrunning hack-n-slasher dipped in a bit of rogue sauce. Doug McGrave, demon hunter and all-around jerk, refused to help a poor village and now he's cursed to have every weapon fall apart in his hands. Never stop and never slow down, constantly picking up the weapons of fallen enemies and building combos as you race through the depths of the dungeons to break the curse.
The overall experience lost its charm quickly enough that I had no desire to pursue the Hardcore or Survival modes.
The Weaponographist is a decent mix of Roguelike and arena brawler, but the controls are a bit stiff and there just isn't enough content or personality to put the game above its similarly-priced competitors.
The Weaponographist, while fun in a sort of mindless way, isn't a game that you'd want to play over and over again. The controls are too floaty, the environments are too repetitive, and while creative, it just doesn't work when it's put all together.
A good way to cook up a good headache and end up in anger management,The Weaponographist is repetitive, uninspired and incohesive. Based around the idea of grinding, you'll find yourself playing the same level over and over just to level up. And you won't enjoy it one bit.
Fresh and engaging, The Weaponographist is a succinct package of roguelike goodness. If you need a quick fix of something new for a weekend, this weapon-breaking dungeon-delver will suit that need perfectly.
