This is a fun game, but as of writing this it's been months since they released even a small update for this game. Starting to venture into abandoned-ware for this being an unfinished game. »👍 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 34 h played« Most of the negative reviews are CH review bombing, the game itself is honestly pretty fun despite its constant changing from Early Access - All the weapons are pretty fun to work with!

« It simply isn't that fun, cutsey graphics but floaty gameplay that lacks any "oomph". Enemies are HP sponges and it just really isn't that fun, feels like a chore to play. »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 4 h played« The game is unfinished Which seems to be a running theme for the latest Klei releases ngl »👎 anonymous review · Mar 2026 · 1 h played« Just not very fun to play. Combat feels bad without any hitstun (unless you get the perk), bosses feel like hp sponge with 4-5 moves. Last boss is literally a 3 stage hp sponge, just feels bad to play. »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 25 h played« The weapon distribution of this game is not balanced well, some are just so terrible compared to others like the spear. I loved that weapon but it's genuinely so trash and it never kept up with any other weapons »👎 anonymous review · May 2026 · 197 h played« Save your money, as a roguelike enjoyer this game just isn't good. Feels like a children's game. »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 6 h played« great game, dont understand the bad reviews , very smooth with alot of variation and good upgrade system , overall great game »👍 anonymous review · Mar 2026 · 26 h played

Is Rotwood worth it in 2026?
