This is one of those "hidden gems" that you discover by buying on a whim. This one was attractive for its couch co-op. There aren't enough games that support the local multiplayers, but this is one destined to shoot up to your "most played" list. Tallowmere is an ugly game that oozes charm. Controls are tight as can be...if you die, it's your fault. Rooms are random and increase in difficulty as you fight your way through and are peppered with event rooms...capture the flag, rescue the lady, bosses, the vial room, rooms that change time speeds.. These keep it fresh and lively.

There is no lack of loot and the upgrades pouring in keep you excited for the next weapon on the horizon. Tallowmere also has tons of options for tweaking the difficulty or setting challenges. The game is random enough and offers a wide variety of tweaks to keep you busy for a good long while.

In short, this is an addictive 2D dungeon crawler roguelike that is Dark Souls crossed with Spelunky.
