Skyshine’s BEDLAM, overall, is an extremely challenging rogue-like RPG. It offers a fresh take on the genre, with a futuristic setting and an interesting mish-mash of mechanics. While battles can sometimes feel extremely unfair or one-sided, it does offer what hardcore fans of this genre really enjoy – a challenge. It is definitely worth checking out and spending several hours playing into the wee hours of the morning. I highly recommend this title for all, as it can provide endless hours of brutal but enjoying adventures trying to perfect your route to the Aztec City.
Score: 8/10
Superb rogue-like with great tactical battles.
Use everything at your disposal to reach the Aztec City. Make some friends and enemies along the way.

Thanks Eye!Despite the difficulty, the game strives to be a journey through an unforgiving wasteland, and it succeeds. As I dug deeper into the game, discovering more about the lore of Bedlam, I found myself enamored with the game. It’s a difficult one, that offers very little forgiveness, and when you do fail, you usually have yourself to blame. This would be a great introduction to gamers unfamiliar with tactical role playing games, and a fun experience for veterans.
Score: 86%
WHAT WE LIKED
Battles system is simple and fast-paced with varying strategy.
Travelling across the map is easy to pick up but still a challenge.
Cartoony style is a great contrast to the hard-as-nails gameplay.
WHAT WE DISLIKED
No introduction or backstory to explain what’s going on in Bedlam.
Artistic shortcuts such as scaled backgrounds and reused models.
A boring soundtrack that fails to add to the beauty of the visuals.
