Предсказания и кунг-фу: Обзор Forestrike

За прошедшие годы разработчики roguelike-игр успели опробовать самые разные комбинации из сеттингов и геймплейных идей, некоторые из которых звучат максимально абсурдно (вроде Drop Duchy, где смешали Tetris со средневековым градостроительным симулятором). Forestrike от инди-разработчика Томаса Оллсона и студии Skeleton Crew тоже не чурается экспериментов.
