Gift of Parthax offers a difficult question to answer when reflecting upon arena-brawler game design: how simple is too simple? The title, masterminded by Foldergeist Studios, relies upon its charming visuals and a tastefully antiquated soundtrack to carry its weight, with much of the core mechanics falling into genre tautology. When Gift of Parthax clicks, its toolkit invokes memories of roguelike greats such as The Binding of Isaac, yet at its worse, the title feels like mere repetition. By providing a streamlined, simple yet evolving playstyle, Gift of Parthax has plenty there for players to enjoy, but not quite enough to adequately differentiate itself from its peers.
