About Gah!
Gah! is a 2026 PC RPG from Jasio Games that blends rogue-like elements with village-building. You pick one of 13 heroes, fight through randomized levels spanning haunted ruins to sci-fi outposts, and collect loot to power up a central hub. Bosses scale with your progress, and permanent upgrades in the village mean each run feels distinct. The story is thin, just a backdrop for the grind, but the procedural design and character variety keep it fresh. Expect fast combat, permadeath risk, and a focus on loot-driven progression. Fans of dungeon crawlers with long-term goals will find it familiar but not impressive.
Gameplay
Each session starts with a hero selection, followed by navigating procedurally generated floors filled with enemies, traps, and chests. Combat is real-time with light action-RPG mechanics, aiming, dodging, and using class-specific skills. Bosses appear at key floors and require adapting strategies based on your current gear. After a run, you return to the village to spend earned resources on upgrades like new characters or shop items. The loop emphasizes experimentation: a mage might work in one level but be useless against a boss in another. Controls are responsive but basic, and the focus on loot management over story makes it feel like a grind. Sessions average 1-2 hours, with runs ending abruptly if you die.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Gah! 8.7/10, matching Metacritic’s 82. Only 33% of players finish it, with an average playtime of 12.5 hours. The 26 achievements are mostly gear-based, averaging 67% completion per player. Community moods skew 45% excited, 28% curious, and 27% skeptical. Reviews highlight the "incredible variety of characters" but question if "random loot feels like it replaces actual design." Some players praise the "tight combat and permadeath tension," while others call the story "an afterthought." The price of $29.99 splits opinions, with 42% of buyers saying it’s "fair for the content" and 29% calling it "overpriced for a single-player grind."
PlayPile's Take
Gah! is a solid but unambitious pick for fans of grind-heavy RPGs. The 13 characters and procedural floors offer decent replay value, but the thin story and reliance on random loot might frustrate. At $30, it’s a low-risk buy if you enjoy action-RPGs like Monster Hunter or Dead Cells. Skip it if you prefer deep narratives or structured progression. The achievements are easy but not rewarding enough to justify repeated playthroughs. Best played in short bursts, grab it if you’re craving a challenge with a dash of variety.
