"Even as the final moments occurred, which also felt like it came out of nowhere, it didn't feel like the player was a hero. Given the wonderful mechanics, design, personality, and narrative intentions of Scarf, the confusing storytelling is unfortunate but, thankfully, doesn't make the game any less enjoyable. While it's never fun to push story to the sidelines, doing so will let players get lost in Scarf's beautiful worlds and have an absolute blast during its short but sweet playtime."

About

Scarmonde is a retro-styled dungeon crawler where you build a team of up to 12 distinct classes to explore procedurally generated tunnels. Each run sends your party deeper into a labyrinth filled with enemies, traps, and loot. Choices matter as you balance class abilities, gear, and resources to survive increasing difficulty. The top-down perspective and pixel art evoke classic RPGs while streamlined combat keeps pace brisk. The game shines in its class synergy and risk-reward design. Mixing a tank with support casters or offensive specialists creates varied strategies, though permadeath looms after each failed attempt. With 12 classes offering unique traits, replayability hinges on experimenting with combinations. Early access players on Ephiam's forums praise the tight progression and dense itemization, though some note the learning curve. Nostalgic pixel hunters and dungeon grind fans will find satisfying depth in Scarmonde's layered systems.
