The lighting and other visual effects are nice. I tried the roguelike version first since I enjoy challenges, but almost every time simply attacking the first enemy would mean an immediate death, so I switched over to the easy version. Enemies that don't move or attack are interesting. That said, I was really powerful apparently, after getting a bunch of relics and raising levels, and enemies basically couldn't hurt me, but there's no key repeating, so against some enemies I had to press the attack key about 50-100 times before eventually killing them. Still, my health was regenerating faster than they could hurt me so there wasn't much point. Even enemies that were far beyond my level couldn't hurt me. Seems like there needs to be a little more direction here (on the game store page would be fine) to help guide the gameplay. The many spelling and grammar errors detract from the experience, the escape as a way to exit the game at any time is very annoying (try to avoid that because it's something players habitually press to get out of menus), and the button to play again/continue didn't always work.
Completeness:
To Be Risked is barely playable. Entry message fades after 10 seconds no-matter-what, mechanics are vague, game freezes often, and doesn't prompt for confirm to exit.
Aesthetics:
Nice graphics, clean UI (except message log), easy controls.
Fun:
I'm sorry to write it - I see that dev put effort into this entry - but playing TBR is constant struggle.
Innovation:
Generic hack and slash, with some additional mechanics on top.
Scope:
Reasonable.
Roguelikeness:
For a 7DRL standard, it's a roguelike.
