If you enjoy roguelikes but want something you can play for half an hour at a time and actually see progress, I strongly recommend Leap of Fate. It has great value, an interesting story, and fun gameplay. If it had a multiplayer component so I could team up with a friend, I’d be giving it a nine out of ten for sure.

Despite truly ancient visuals, this is the best heir of Crimsonland that I've ever played.

Leap of Fate mixes dynamic, level-based action with a unique cyberpunk/Shadowrun-esque setting, resulting in a solid title that stands out in both gameplay and environment.

In the game biz, addiction is but one of the many pathways to success. There’s no easy road to fame, glory and a boatload of bills, just as there’s no one algorithm that will make gamers shut the blinds and keep their behind glued to edge of their seat. But Leap of Fate does appear to have found the recipe for addiction, if not success. Pick it up if you’d like a taste.

Leap of Fate offers a challenging rogue-lite experience without making it unapproachable to less serious gamers. The combination of unique characters, randomized skill trees, and an abundance of interesting Glyph effects makes every run feel like a different game.

As many roguelikes before it, Leap of Fate can be a harsh game where one mistake leads to death and restarting the game. But the developers decided for an approach where your character will keep certain bonuses even after the death, making Leap of Fate less punishing, but ultimately more rewarding game.

A remarkable game that has many things to offer for 20+ hours and some optional stuff which remains interesting past that mark. A few tweaks in balancing and randomizing effects would vastly improve it. Even though it can’t compete with The Binding of Isaac in terms of pure addiction and content, it’s adequately competent as far as action roguelike games go.

Leap of Fate is a rogue-lite title that brings together a lot of separate elements to create a very fun experience.
