The Battle Network series is my favorite set of Mega Man games, and the unique combat in that series has not really been done anywhere else. One Step From Eden was presented to me as the game that finally recreated the experience of Mega Man Battle Network. It was this sort of thinking that drew me to the indie title One Step From Eden. 9 for classic Mega Man fans, Murder by Numbers for Phoenix Wright fans – and the list goes on. Wargroove for Advance Wars fans, Mighty No. Whether the game is ultimately well-received or not, the message of who would want to play it remains clear. This is particularly true when your game captures a unique style of gameplay that not many other titles deliver on, or returns to the roots of a series that people believe has lost its way. It’s an easy way to grab a player who might be interested in your game. If you liked megaman battle network I would definitely advise you to stay away from this game as it has an uncanny valley effect, it feels like it should play like battle network but is lacking in the things that made battle network easy to pick up but hard to master.A common trend I have seen in my indie game experience is the comparison of these titles to the beloved series that they emulate. The main gameplay is way too chaotic in battle network as soon as the main meter filled up the player had an opportunity to think about what to do next, this game expects you to know what a particular icon is going to do while not getting hit and assessing what cards you have upcoming. I thought I would love this game because of these things but it couldn't have been more wrong. I haven't played slay the spire but I loved deck building games. This game was marketed as slay the spire and battle network.

In the end, One step from Eden is a fresh, highly entertaining rogue-lite experience carried by its combat and its brutal but well-executed level of difficulty. The sound and art, even if not astounding, are consistently high quality, leaving no reason for complaints. Additionally, while I respect the developers' intentional decision to not overly explain things through tutorials and let players figure things out on their own, I don't think that excuses the lack of mention anywhere in the game of some gameplay elements that can be hard to find out about on your own, which may alienate a good portion of players and makes certain aspects of the game unnecessarily troubling to learn. Like any game, One Step from Eden doesn't come without its flaws, in this game they are mostly shown in the lack of actual rogue-lite elements, while you do get new things with each failed run, it is usually not sufficient to make each run feel fresh on its own, requiring you to think of what you want to do next, what character or build you want to try next. Additionally, the unusual combat-style creates an experience that feels very fresh and unlike any other roguelite.
Its an experience that doesn't leave you frustrated, you don't feel like the game is against you, but that you simply haven't yet learned enough, didn't play well enough, didn't build your deck well enough.
The combat is brutal, and while it may cause some initial struggles, it only becomes more and more satisfying with time and as you learn all the enemies' attack patterns. Like most rogue-lites, it doesn't offer much in the sense of storytelling, focusing almost exclusively in creating a challenging, highly satisfying and repetitive yet addicting gameplay experience that shines through its combat. One Step From Eden is a stylish, action card-battling rogue-lite with a playstyle resembling a mix between Slay the Spire and Megaman Battle One Step From Eden is a stylish, action card-battling rogue-lite with a playstyle resembling a mix between Slay the Spire and Megaman Battle Network.
