A good roguelike has to do something unique to stand out these days, and thankfully, Panta Rhei delivers by letting you control time<\/a>. At first, it plays like a familiar action roguelike, with upgrades to core abilities and modifiers that add buffs or debuffs. Well – technically – it begins with a gorgeous cutscene that sets the stage for why you\u2019re alone in the world.<\/p>\n

\"Panta<\/p>\n

In Panta Rhei, you play as Phi, a young guardian of time who\u2019s found themself stranded in the Garden of Past after what\u2019s essentially the end of the world. Though content to spend their days gardening, neglecting their true duty has thrown time into chaos, forcing Phi to venture out and try to save it.<\/p>\n

That means taking on enemies and solving puzzles. While things begin familiarly, you soon unlock the power to manipulate time, and that changes everything. Some foes, for instance, can only be hurt while time is moving in reverse, pushing you to set up combos that land just as you start rewinding. It adds a clever twist to combat, forcing you to think both ahead and backwards if you want to come out on top.<\/p>\n
