A lot of indie games have a certain hook that they hang their hat on whether its a graphical style, a compelling narrative or a specific gameplay mechanic. Son of Nor falls distinctly in that last bracket, offering an almost literal sandbox to play in with telekinesis, terraforming and control over a variety of elements. While playing around with the mechanics proves fun, its when it tries to become an actual game that everything falls apart.

Marcus Estrada writes: "It's really cool to see developers who are now on their third or fourth Kickstarter campaigns after having previous successes. Sean Young is one of these people. After crowdfunding his previous projects (Pixel Kingdom and Magicite) he has now returned with Roguelands, the latest and most ambitious game yet. As the name might suggest, it also features a good deal of roguelike features, although there's a lot of other inspirations at play too. Players, either alone or with a group of other players, explore procedurally generated planets in search of resources. Of course, each planet is full of danger - not to mention a monstrous creature known as the Destroyer which is always hot on your trail."
