Gabs from GamersFTW writes: Temple of Yog presents itself as an interesting roguelike title, promising a progression of characters, while enhancing a civilisation through the gameplay. A number of features are worth looking at, but the game in general could have done with more time in development. If the problems are fixed, and more variety added, it has the potential to be a great addition to the Wii U library.
VICE: I'm a fan of the Wii U. Most people who own one are. Any stick Nintendo's console receives primarily comes from gamers who've never had one to call their own, who've never grinned from ear to ear during a mirrored Mario Kart 8 race or super-tight Splatoon match. The system has tremendous games – just not a great many of them. And its roster of platform-exclusive indie titles is smaller still. But that can be a benefit for companies who do decide to publish on the Wii U alone.
Both sci-fi puzzler Affordable Space Adventures, by Danish studio KnapNok Games, and FAST Racing Neo, by the German team of Shin'en Multimedia, enjoyed great visibility on Nintendo's digital eShop in 2015 courtesy of allying with their machine over all others. And Florida's ChudChud Industries (aka developer Cody Diefenthaler) is looking for some of that sweet, sweet exposure for its new game Temple of Yog, which appeared on the eShop in December but is looking to build momentum across 2016 with a series of staggered updates.

Temple of Yog is a title that would demo quite well; the first ten or so minutes revealed some fantastic possibilities. Actually trying to play the thing for any real length, however, becomes a chore of the highest order.
I was really disappointed with this game. I wanted another great Wii U roguelike, and the Shadow World dual-screen stuff siunded cool. Sucks that it didn't live up to much. Hope more content comes with big fixes.
