Radio Viscera

Radio Viscera has a pretty great idea, a twin-stick shooter where you have to use the environment to indirectly kill your enemies while platforming. It also has a scoring system that allows for competitive or run-based games and mutators you can apply to change those runs up as well. Unfortunately, the core loop and the controls as well as some design issues make it too much of a burden to play. It's likely that with hours and hours put into the game it can be a highly skilled affair where you're running and jumping around these levels with routes planned, perfect timing, and doing what you will to the various enemies and hazards, but that is not the impression the game first provides. If like me, you can't stand the opening hours to get to where you become skillful and good at the game, then the high skill ceiling the later game might offer is out of reach because you don't even want to get near it. To begin, the controls on this are pretty awful. You can use the controller and play...

If you're using doors instead of blasting through walls, you're doing it wrong. It's a nice take on a twin stick shooter where you can't kill or defeat things by shooting at them, but instead shooting them *into* things. I love all the glitchy visual effects. Game is very light on story and humour is definitely very weird, but I'm liking it so far.

Had higher hopes for this, clunky controls, despite only playing for about an hour I was already bored with the gameplay loop...

One level in and I'm blown away.

Some great stuff, but far from perfect. - Aesthetic is great, and it is *super* impressive that this was made by one guy (mostly? entirely?). - The plot is silly, and the corporate satire is far from new, but the game is having fun with it and so am I. :) - I really wanted to love this, and I have definitely had some fun with it, but I so far have found myself getting more and more frustrated as I go. It might be one of those games that 'clicks' the second or third time you boot it up, and I can tell it's a labor of love and it does a lot right. ----------------------- - **Major Gripe: CHECKPOINTS** -- game kills it's own momentum a lot, as the checkpoints are *really* spaced out, despite some places where it's really easy to walk too close to a hazard (or stumble into one of the hidden ones). In my experience you'll most often die to a hazard, as it's pretty easy to kill the bads and get HP back before they three-tap you. My first two deaths were walking into a previously unintro...

This is a fun game. I hope the developer launch a project for a sequel.

liking this neat little indie game so far: its got a fun sense of humor and some silly physics based / grav gun combat, and a loop with a lot of potential, with only a few bugs ran into so far biggest caveat is the camera is mad disorienting, occasionally motion sickness inducing, and personally I can't play this game for more than 20 minutes at a time. Despite this I still like it and think its pretty good, not at all deserving of the "mixed" review status its got (which honestly is super confusing! I can only find like 2 or 3 negative reviews, scrolling to the bottom says 87% of user reviews are positive? and I scrolled through all 36 curator reviews and couldn't find anything negative, steam is doing this game dirty)

my eyes exploderated

I know they make the game look amazing in the trailer, but if you're bad or relatively new to video games then this isn't for you. There is just too much to keep track of at the same time and almost no directions telling you where to go. The last update they released was on July 23 2021 saying they fixed the game crashing on startup. They did not fix the game crashing on startup. And since i was young and stupid i didn't know you could ask to refund games, but when i did find out i was way past the time limit you need to refund it in. The game itself was pretty fun, but honestly i can't reccomend it with these flaws. i hope this review helped.

Fast fun and stylish. Definite recommend for arcadey shooter lovers.
