Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are:

Add in the fact that both its despicably uncharming art style and boring soundtrack don’t improve the overall experience and you get a roguelike failure as a result.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. That’s the biggest sin a roguelike can commit. Its gameplay loop is slightly interesting, I’ll give it that, but considering the small amount of strategy involved, and the fact your main objective is to collect money that isn’t actually used to buy new gear for a next run, it just doesn’t motivate me to play it again once my character dies. That’s the thing, Roundguard just isn’t fun to play. These slight RPG elements are here to try to spice the gameplay up a bit, and while they’re welcome, they didn’t succeed in basically transforming Peggle into a roguelike. The same can be said about health potions. It does cost of a bit of mana, but this can easily be replenished by picking up potions scattered throughout the stages. That is unless you use a special move that pretty much guarantees that you will hit and destroy everything in your path without bouncing around. Each enemy has different stats and attacks, meaning that whenever you attack them, they will attack you in return. Killing an enemy requires bouncing on them multiple times, but there’s a catch. That is easier said than done, as the game’s pinball-ish nature means that even though you’re aiming at a specific direction, the amount of crap onscreen might make your character bounce way too much and fall into a different pit.

You can decide whether you want to go to a room full of poisonous enemies or orcs, for instance, depending on your build. You also need to aim your character in a way that you land him/her on top of a cushioned platform, or else you’ll lose a chunk of your health.Īfter getting rid of all baddies onscreen, you’ll have the chance to choose which room you want to go next, in a pseudo dungeon crawler way. Use a cannon to shoot your character onto the field with the objective of killing every single enemy onscreen, as well as collecting as much gold and new pieces of gear as possible. You can already imagine how Roundguard works. Zombies that was all the rage ten years ago? The game about aiming in one direction and just watching the ball you launched ricochet at pretty much everything except the one thing you wanted it to? Well, Roundguard is basically that… “with roguelike elements”. Remember that pachinko-inspired puzzle game developed by the same people behind Plants vs. So what does Roundguard have to offer in order to differ itself from its peers? They’re all vastly different from each other, even though they’re all roguelikes. That’s how we got games like Void Bastards, Strafe, EarthNight, and Slay the Spire.

Although the market is absolutely saturated with games “with roguelike elements”, you can adapt said gameplay loop to basically every single genre out there, so there’s always a way to make your game feel fresh, and most importantly, fun. Roundguard, just like half of the indie games released over the past decade or so, is a roguelike. I really really REALLY don’t like this character art style.
