The WhatsNext verdict

If you enjoy compact, punishing roguelike runs with responsive combat, shields, and changing loot, Tallowmere has a strong one-more-run pull. Players who need precise platforming or dislike permadeath should look elsewhere.

What it does best

  • Procedural rooms and varied gear keep each descent unpredictable

  • Shield timing and weapon swings make every room a close-range scramble

  • Its brutal rooms create a persistent urge to see one more

What might put you off

  • Floaty platforming and awkward controls

  • Severe difficulty and permadeath

The setup

What you are walking into

Indulge Lady Tallowmere and see how far through her lovingly violent dungeons you can delve in this 2D indie action roguelike-inspired platformer. New rooms are procedurally generated every time you play. How far can you make it?
