Okhlos
This game would have already made its way onto my "Ki's Picks" month even before I played it, solely based on the concept and how cool the game is. Luckily, the game just went on sale and I've already put enough time into it to conclude that this game is ****ing fantastic.
In the most basic of terms, Okhlos is a hybrid of rogue like gameplay reminiscent of the Binding of Isaac mixed with side scrolling beat em up mixed with random generation and upgrades. It does go on a "floor by floor" basis much like Isaac, but with Okhlos, it sets you into greek mythology. The way it works is much the same as Pikmin, where your main source of attack is by a "mob". And you grow your mob as you play through the level and you have to be careful not to lose too many members of your mob before the boss fight on each level. I've done one run already and I have to say, the gameplay and everything mixed together makes for a very VERY fluid and nice experience.
The way I've been playing it is with my PS4 controller, but you can play on keyboard and mouse. I switched to the controller because it felt way more natural, and it's almost as if they built the game around people who prefer controllers.
I may have not been able to put this game in this months theme had it not been for the sale, but I can safely say that even if the game wasn't on sale, it's still worth checking out. If you're a fan of Pikmin style combat mixed with rogue like floor by floor random generation set in greek mythology, this game is for you.
