ProbablyMonsters is a company that has been around since 2019. Its portfolio includes a horror-themed adventure game titled Ire: A Prologue, as well as Storm Lancers - a platforming action game with roguelite elements.

Gameplay

In Storm Lancers events are viewed from a side perspective. The adventure takes us through procedurally generated biomes, which we traverse by jumping on platforms, avoiding terrain obstacles, dodging traps, and fighting enemies.

Exploration and combat

Both exploration and fighting enemies are dynamic, requiring agility and reflexes. We make use of melee weapons (such as katanas and hammers), as well as ranged weapons (like rifles and grenade launchers). We must face both regular adversaries and much more powerful bosses. This includes hostile machines and aggressive fauna & flora.

Character development and consequences of death

As we progress, we unlock permanent upgrades for our character, expanding their moveset to include actions like slides, dashes, and double jumps. Additionally, over time, we gather a better arsenal and acquire more powerful skills.

Loot Level Chill: 6.5 / 10 by Lyle Pendle

There's not a whole lot wrong with Storm Lancers, but it really struggles to hang with its peers thanks to a lack of randomness and just okay combat.

NintendoWorldReport: 5.5 / 10 by Allyson Cygan

But it doesn't. And this is the biggest issue with this game. Storm Lancers isn't bad, but every element in it has been done better and could be done better. When I saw the trailer come up in the Nintendo Direct I had high hopes it could be a new favorite in a genre I love, but sadly it was just OK.
