Analysis of Let’s! Revolution! – The minesweeper revolution

Dethroning a king has never been a more strategic task than the one we experience in Let’s! Revolution!, the original idea of ​​BUCK and Antfood

Who doesn’t remember spending hours playing Minesweeper? Without a doubt one of those games which, under a simple principle, made us tighten our neurons to find the solution on each table. And despite the success it enjoyed at the time, the truth is that these mechanisms have been forgotten… until today. And this is due to the arrival of Let’s go! Revolution!a title that perfectly mixes the strategy that these classic boards offered us with mechanics roguelite very well implemented, ready to start a revolution?

BUCK and Ant food They offer us a proposal that shines with its own light. As with other indie games like Shotgun King: the final checkmate, They took a classic gameplay concept and adapted it for modern times. And above all, they become addicted and Let’s keep trying over and over again to complete the phases that make up each round. I’m already warning you that the game has bad hooks…

Like Dorothy on her yellow brick road

Let’s see how I explain it, because Let’s go! Revolution! They are one of those games that, to understand them, it is better to play than to describe them in words. The idea is simple: we will control one of the many protagonists that we will have at our disposal with the important task of exiling the king from our lands. To do this, you will have to go through scenarios made up of tiles. As we move forward on these tiles, they will turn over and reveal their contents: Sometimes this can be a path, other times to different enemies, shops with power-ups or our objective, which is to locate the little king.

Meeting other opponents will always be painful. Especially in this title, since If they end our lives, we’ll have to start from scratch as well roguelite What is it. Fortunately, we will have several premises that are always respected. The first, the one rivals always meet on the roads and not elsewhere on the map. And secondly, we will be able to know which hidden tiles are paths without needing to turn them over, in a very similar way to what we saw years ago in Minesweeper. For example, if the tile we are on has a number 2, this means that two rooms adjacent to ours are made up of a path.

Committing regicide

With this data, and with the special powers of our insurgent, we will have to reach the end of each round of Let’s! Revolution! A challenge that will increase each time we make a “New game+”. In addition, each character we control has different virtues and ways of approaching the scenario. Is the attack classthe classic brute warrior who, with his whirling punch, will reveal the tiles around him, causing damage wherever his blow hits.

On the other hand, we have Dark, a master of stealth who will prefer to hide the enemy again in a hidden tile so as not to take damage while searching for his main target. And finally, there is the Oracle that with the help of teleportation and his intuition, he will face the enemies who come his way. There are different ways to approach the game, which makes this proposition very varied and rewarding. Furthermore, as happens in this type of titles containing traces of rogueliteAs we rehearse, we gradually improve, which leads us to establish new combat strategies.

One more game and I’ll stop (lying)

In the end, this whole conglomerate makes the experience with Let’s! Revolution! be very satisfying. Little by little you discover the characters, their powers and the improvements that we will obtain in the stores that we will discover on each screen. There is barely a wall of difficulties that prevents us from moving forward, and as is the case in shotgun chess, failure will often be ours due to poor movement strategy. Idiot, I’ve been involved in many short occasionally for the simple pleasure of enjoying its mechanics. Completing them will take us less than half an hour, and it’s a pleasure to finally be able to track down the elusive king.

Conclusion of Let’s! Revolution!

BUCK and Antfood give us a great idea by taking the basic concept of minesweeper, but adding layers and layers of new gameplay. We are faced with a direct proposition which, thanks to the variations between game and game, makes it particularly varied. Searching for the king among the tiles is a real pleasure whatever character you choose, and the five New Game+ that we will have at our disposal encourage us to improve our combat techniques. Let’s go! Revolution! They are one of those games that you must always have installed to eliminate the bug and enjoy fast and satisfying games.
