Evertried is an isometric, tactical roguelite with strategy turn-based combat. That's just a lot of words to say the game can be very hard. So after playing for a while—and miserably dying-here are the 14 tips & tricks I have for Evertried.
#1 - Pay attention to enemy movement patterns
The first couple of runs I had of Evertried, I just ran haphazardly until eventually, an enemy was in a favourable position for me to be able to kill them. This really didn't do me any favours in how high I could ascend the tower, and instead just led to my inevitable demise whenever it didn't work out the way I wanted it to.
It actually wasn't until after I'd killed the first boss that I understood that every enemy has a particular moving pattern. The cats in the first area that have a shield, for instance, move once every two turns, taking one to rest. The other cats always move towards the player, and those little blob things that spew poison out of their butt move haphazardly much like myself early on!
#2 - Remember that you can dash two blocks
When the tutorial of Evertried ended, I just decided to neglect the existence of the dash and move block by block. This made it impossible for me to fight enemies that were two tiles away from me, forcing me to take an extra hit just to be able to take them down. Having only three health, this was unfeasible.
It was after I remembered that I can dash that I realized: I have to dash away from them to make a three tiles away, so that by the time I get close to them they're forced to stand beside me to take the hit. This actually made my runs so much easier, although this all could be because I'm a newcomer to these sorts of games.
#3 - Move up to enemies on their rest turns if they have one
