Gurei Review - Death is not the end
Gurei is a compelling roguelike action game that focuses on challenging boss fights and player learning through experience, rather than traditional meta-progression. Despite occasional repetitiveness, its gorgeous visuals inspired by Japanese mythology and unique design make it a worthwhile experience. The game features a minimalist plot where the player controls Rei, a swordswoman battling nature spirits, with each fight granting new abilities and increasing opponent power.
