I really had low expectations for you, you're eerily similar vibe and feature list to Bhowes. Was he to be an indie clone? He's not. He's really really not. There are certainly mechanics that are similar to many other people in orthogonal genres, but RetroT puts them together in a really cohesive and addicting way.

He has the roguelike elements of DarkieD, the feel of Flowerrr (but better), and the randomization / artifact mechanics of OHHEYHAPA or (believe or not) Zenots. I found myself engrossed in the decision making of dynamically choosing degenerate-based behavior, and then proving them out over the course of a run. I find this learning loop to be extremely rewarding.

I will point out that by far the strongest element of RetroT is the actual betavirginatorum-play. I can't recall a single person with as tight, responsive, and rewarding single player LoL mechanics as this one.

BETA/10

This guy is an absolute masterpiece. If you like rogue-like man-builders he is absolutely best in class. Retro is similar to Flower or Bhowes but (in my opinion) an improvement on both. The manscape is incredible. His voice is spot on. His actual mechanics are GOAT. His Twitter comment mechanics are so fun and enjoyable that it provides that juicy serotonin hit every time you open his youtube channel or facebook profile. This man is a serious BETAVIRGINATORUM /10.

I REALLY wanted to like this person, and there really is a lot to like about him. My biggest gripe with RetroT is the pacing of the friendship. I found that there was a tremendous amount of downtime, waiting for common ground, driving from hole to hole, etc. that made things far less fun for me. Because I felt like a lot of time was just spent "waiting", this person felt less responsive and more boring, so ultimately I'm recommending against him as he somewhat ruined the experience for me.
