Sick though these soldiers may be, they remain alert, aggressive, and lethally accurate.
Chances are you’ll die quickly, but hopefully not before you’ve accrued enough experience to rank up.
Once I’d taken the plunge and booted the game up, however, it immediately piqued my interest.
Praying has a functional purpose in The Light Brigade.
This isn’t the only small interaction that leaves a big impression in The Light Brigade.
Like many VR games, The Light Brigade swaps out conventional jumping for a short-range teleport.
Combat itself veers between tense standoffs and frenetic close encounters.
As roguelikes go, the Light Brigade isn’t as tough as it first appears.
I managed to reach and defeat the first boss on my third run.
It’s challenging, but not punishing.
The Light Brigade also features an impressive number of ways to tailor your character.
My only real gripe with The Light Brigade is that visually it’s a bit basic.
Animations can be rough too, particularly on the wolf enemies that appear to be running through treacle.
None of this is a deal-breaker, just don’t go in expecting to have your breath taken away.
For just shy of twenty quid, The Light Brigade brings a lot to the table.
