Minos

Of course, Minos’ fans – and the game deserves to have a lot of them – will tell you the plot isn’t important. What is important is its creative sandbox and gleefully gory approach to what is essentially a tower defence game. And on that I would agree with them. Minos is really difficult to put down once you start finding yourself daydreaming about new ways to combine your trap arsenal together.

As you might already know, dear reader, I love a good roguelike. They come in all sorts of genres nowadays, and it means that you can find one that’ll scratch basically any itch you might have. For Minos, that means that you can get your fix if you really want to play as the minotaur as he tries to escape his unique hell, presiding over a shifting, trap-filled labyrinth to guide would be warriors to their doom… and get some upgrades.

Minos reminded me of playing one of those wooden ball-in-a-labyrinth toys, where you tilt the maze just so to guide the ball to the end. In this case, gravity is replaced by scores of devious traps, and the goal is to stop the progress of enemies before they can defeat the Minotaur. Minos brings a lot of interesting ideas to the tower defense genre. If you have patience for increasingly challenging puzzles and a bit of jank, Minos can be a lot of fun.

7.5/10

This indie title stands out with its unique combination of action and tactics, but the experience is lost due to a lack of diverse content.

Minos is a roguelike tower defense game that starts strong but rapidly becomes too complicated to meet its demands for precision.
