In a shock to absolutely no-one, I was an emo kid growing up. While my Catholic all-girls high school forbade the use of fluorescent dyes and facial piercings, my weekends were spent perfecting my cheap eyeliner (quite the task when you have a tremor) and haunting Glasgow city center. While you’ll be happy to hear I no longer spend my days skulking around indoor malls, I’ve never quite let go of that gothic aesthetic – it’s never been just a phase. So, when I first saw Reignbreaker, a counterculture-inspired roguelike bearing similarities to Hades, it was like a good ol’ blast from the past.
