100 Steps is a roguelite dungeon crawler where you have a set number of actions (steps) that is constantly ticking down as you play. There are many mechanics to unlock, lending a decent amount of depth and complexity, however each of these individual mechanics are flawed and don't mesh nicely with each other. Additionally, some core mechanics need to be unlocked via tiles that are found randomly when exploring, meaning that it's down to chance to stumble upon core systems that are required for progression.
Characters are animated lazily, they don't even face different directions, and the sound design is lacking in the details, such as every character having the same sound effects rather than unique ones.
Even so, it's still a fairly enjoyable experience and challenge to beat, with some fun little discoveries along the way. That wasn't enough to entice me to complete more than one run through the tower though.

Many of these issues could be solved through a patch and balance adjustments, but I doubt we'll see that happen, so for now at least, it is doomed to remain a slightly more than competent roguelite.
