I really wanted to like this. The ridiculously short loop of the music can be muted. The confusing interface can be learned but much as I’mI really wanted to like this. The ridiculously short loop of the music can be muted. The confusing interface can be learned but much as I’m trying to like this it badly needs fixing.The worst thing is the extreme input lag, most prevalent in the menus of all places, seconded by a very shoddy guide which doesn’t even explain half the on screen icons you’re going to see. I THINK my armour just got reduced, I’m not entirely sure. I can never understand why d-pad inputs are ignored either on a turn based game like this. WHY?!This is all so frustrating, there’s a great game In here, somewhere.

There are many other little things added into A Long Way Down that does help it feel like a much larger game than it actually is. Players can change and level up equipment, craft cards using powder found throughout the world, and some of the overworld levels have very smart puzzles that can be challenging with the limited amount of tile cards. Overall though, A Long Way Down falls short in bringing anything exciting to a genre that is already filled with excellent titles like Slay The Spire or Loop Hero, instead offering a solid back-up experience that supplements those games rather than demands someone's primary attention on its own.
