Not a like for me

Very enjoyable mix of minesweeper and strategy roguelite.

If you like Minesweeper and/or turn based roguelites you will love this. Fantastic art and animation, good music, solid gameplay. It has 6 classes that play very differently and a modest list of abilities and items to unlock. Runs are short but very satisfactory. Great game if you want to spend around 15 minutes just doing a run.

100% satisfied my Minesweeper cravings. Visually beautiful - Really loved the animated intro the first time I started the game, love the in game animations and love the music. I'm planning to spend time unlocking all of the classes and trying to get some perfect runs. And I probably will enjoy the daily quest here and there after the main content. One thing immediately I wished is that there was more of a long map concept - like an endless mode or a map where you continue to move to the right and reveal more sections. Hopefully in a DLC or a sequel!

All achievements unlocked, NG MAX beaten multiple times using different characters, all within 16 hours. Still haven't beaten the highest difficulty with the weakest character, but the game is already boring to me, and I don't want to try anymore.

Game is not that bad, which deserves a negative review. It started amazing, ended meh. The longer I play, the more I feel it's like an early access rather than a full release. Normally I wouldn't bother to write reviews for meh games like this. But the store page says "this game will keep puzzle fans busy and satiated for a heck of a long time". I don't think it's based. As a puzzle/logic game fan, if I saw a detailed review like this, I wouldn't even buy it.

As an indie game, the art is top tier. Smooth animations everywhere, pretty and consistent style. Annie Awards it won is well-deserved.

It's not the first game to combine minesweeper and rogue-like. DemonCrawl did it earlier, in which you have to guess now and then, and it's more like resource management. Let’s! Revolution feels more like the original minesweeper. It has a unique road mechanism, hides some information (no mine number on road tiles), while provides you other clues (guaranteed loot/exit on road ends, no enemy on non-road tiles, can also do reasoning based on road shape). On this aspect, Let's! Revolution is like traditional logic puzzles on paper. Things stop you from minesweeping is the character's mobility (can't reach safe tile), passive skill (might make you face too many enemies then lose, also produces different play styles) and resource (must guess if only road tiles are left, and you want to beat enemies for money). I like these designs very much.

In conclusion, if you are a rogue-lite fan, and rarely play minesweeper or puzzle/logic games, this game is for you. You might spend 30+ hours on it, exploring gameplay you are not familiar with, and challenge yourself. Definitely a great deal with a discount.

The designs I like are poorly polished, making the game feel like EA. And the default normal difficulty is too easy, even with the weakest character.

There are many skills, and they are similar, 2 main kinds are damage dealing and money gathering. At the first glance, some skills look much better than others with similar functionality. Guess what? It's true. But the cost (some money) of learning skills is also similar. You almost never can't afford a skill. When learning skills in a shop, you pick 1 in 2, you can also re-roll multiple times (the first two re-rolls only cost 3 goad in all, very cheap). This means bad skills are never picked, maybe only for fun.

Each skill has two level upgrades, some skills' upgrades increase the effect by number (+50%, +100%), while others involving resource gathering, range or Free Action (if enemies act after you act) are even better. But some skills have ridiculously weak upgrades. For example, Roundhouse, Trooper's initial attack. The upgrades only change the mana cost from 8 to 7 to 6. This already looks weak, and the skill has a long CD so you can't spam it. Maybe you really need mana. But Trooper also has initial passive, Payback and Stamina. These two are also about mana, and the effect are both much stronger. You can also spend mana gained from these passive elsewhere. So why on earth would a player want to upgrade Roundhouse? I get it, Roundhouse is a strong initial skill, so Devs balance it this way. Very poor design, I have to say.

The most fun part of a rogue-like game is to build up synergy, where 1+1>2. However, this game lacks synergy. A single op skill is enough to beat NG max, like Trooper + Stomp. Multiple weaker skills with synergy can't compete. Items are similar, some are almost always better.

There are 6 characters in all. Imo, Trooper, Charger, Shadow and Oracle are OK. They have very different play styles, and the power level are similar. But Witch is broken, and Hunter is weak.

Witch's gameplay is nothing about minesweeping. It has strong mobility, economy, mana regen, inital skill, and skill pool. You might want to read beeWAtoN's guide for more detail. Based on my experience, I played to NG max and beat it multiple times, and I almost never lose.

Hunter is designed to make combos, each combo count reduces global mana cost (capped). But most skills of the character don't have Free Action, and it's very hard to reduce a no CD attack skill to nearly free. Also, the character has poor economy. A stable way I found to play this character is to re-roll some strong economy skills, and use items to survive to late game, and it's not featured or fun.

Having strong characters for beginners and weak ones for hardcore players isn't a problem. However, having a broken character, even on the highest difficulty, in a "puzzle" game is definitely an issue.

After 4 hours playtime, the game already feels repetitive. There is only one final boss and a few types of enemies. All same 10 levels, without a simple path choice like StS. I didn't unlock everything at the point, because the game is designed to unlock stuff slower and slower. And these unlockables don't matter at all. There is no way to get them for sure, just a choice when you see them, similar to those you already unlocked much earlier.

I've enjoyed my time with it thus far and can see myself popping in for a quick game once in a while.

Let's! Revolution! is the Oregon Trail of Minesweeper-likes.

A surprisingly good little game. The gameplay of the various characters are pretty different, and i made quite a lot of run.

Looks like the game is working again. Thanks for fixing it.

Never considered how a minesweeper roguelike would work. But not only has this game pulled it off, but did so with incredible flair.
