Ricochet Raven

About

Ricochet Raven is a fast side-scrolling roguelike that flips the usual combat script. You play a character who can only attack by bouncing enemy projectiles back at them. Each run is a scramble to survive while collecting feathers that let you tweak how you deflect attacks. The controls are tight but demand reflexes, and the layout of every level forces quick thinking, wrong moves get you killed fast. The game stands out for its punishing difficulty and clever twist on boss fights. Enemy patterns are unpredictable, and the feather upgrades create a satisfying loop of trial and error. With a 72% on Metacritic, it’s a polarizing pick for fans of punishing platformers. The minimalist art style and snappy sound design help keep the focus on the action. Runs rarely last long, but each one feels like a high-stakes dance.
