“Sol Cesto's art style and aesthetics are really great and unique, and its game concept, while flawed, is certainly fun for a good while. But on a technical level, the game is currently not in a state to deserve the v1.0…”
“The game's fun, has very unique looks and offers a very interesting take on odds management as the main mechanic. It's a betting game. That said only buy on sales. It's made in construct 3, which is for browser games.…”

“A mixed bag. The artstyle is unique and in my eyes phenomenal. Sound design is also nice. This game does have the sauce. However, the gameplay design and the mechanics are lackluster at parts and the balancing could use…”

“La verdad es un re juegazo, arte unico, bien balanceado que creo que es lo mas dificil. Excelente Roguelike, diferente y con personalidad!”
“Really great game with amazing visuals. Not too hard so that's nice, simple but hard to master game mechanics. Many cool different characters. Low pc requirements, very nice for lower end pc's. Not the longest of games,…”
“10/10 This is one of my favorite games and does everything amazingly. I wish I could play it again for the first time. 4x4 grid chance based combat system sending you down a dungeon full of fun and challenging monsters,…”

“I'm completely addicted to this game! Strongly recommended to fans of roguelikes with a penchant for gambling. I have 20+ hours in the game and haven't beaten it yet (although I just completed my first run). Not sure if…”
“Gameplay is simple, click on a line and randomly get dropped onto it. Every move is counted and once you've made enough moves the door opens to the next floor. Earn gold to send back up to buy upgrades.”

“Fun game but VERY poorly balanced. The first 5 or so rooms of a 120 room run are the hardest, often times rolling unbeatable rooms which means you have to grind out the start a few times until you make it out. Once you…”
“Fantastic artwork, excellent style, and beautiful animations. Runs are quick and built on a strong push-your-luck foundation. That said, the early game can feel a bit rough. You can end up in rooms your character just…”

“This game has sauce. It's got an excellent art style and the gameplay is addicting, perfect for quick runs between day to day stuff. The art of the game is what drew me in, and thankfully, the gameplay provided substance to the style! However, I'm pretty disappointed with the UI…”

The other borders had so much personality, the ones with stars feel like placeholders and really dont fit the game,…”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“It's a game that gets better as you progress, at the start it may seem completely unfair and not fun but as you unlock more not only does luck become more manageable but it is also more fun to stack upgrades like in other roguelikes. Criticism is that it's a bit too grindy at…”
