Bibots

I don't know, I bought this game due to it having it's similarities to Gungeon. But it plays rather odd. Most weapons feel the same, does the same damage and mostly offers nothing new. Abilities was okay, but not enough to carry it. The weapons shoot extremely slowly for the most part and the highest "variation" they offer is bad aim and spread shots. The "Lite" part of rogue-lite is almost non-existant. You do level up your robot after each run, but they are so seldom used since building up the meter takes forever. I played about 4 hours and I think I used the bot maybe 5 times. On top of that when you summon the bot it lasts maybe 10 seconds anyway. Since the Bibot is the only thing that seems to grow stronger each run and you rarely use it, every run kinda becomes the same. The boss I encountered (and beat) on the first level was extremely spongy, if I had a bad upgrade drops I could look forward to a 3-4 minute fight to take him down. I reserve the possibility that I simply suck...

Updating review to reflect Oct 13 Balancing Patch - the weapon damage was fixed for the most part, and just to give you a perspective on how bad it was, they had to buff like 30+ weapons in damage, some by as much as 100% in DPS, you could grow hair faster than using a sniper rifle to kill bosses. I mean sure some weapons will always be better, but at least they increased the baseline overall so you don't drop DPS by 60% changing to a "better gun". I have seen some criticism that this game does not have interesting weapons or mods, I don't agree with it, you don't always run into interesting weapons and mods, but there are plenty, you just don't see good things all the time. They somewhat rebalanced the shield system, but I still think the system can make the game too easy, granted you kind of have to know what you doing. With that said, the main problem this game has is the lack of replay value, or a good progression system, if you personally like progression in rogue-lites, I don't ...

TLDR: I felt poor and weak every single run and it never got better. I feel like this game could be tons of fun but it needs balancing, a lot of it. I've done a handful of runs and failed every one of them, didn't even beat the first boss. The videos on the page make it look like a fast pace bullet hell with crazy nonsense builds you try to make but its so hard to that, every run I felt like I had no resources to do anything. Every time I found the shop only once did I have enough money to do anything in it because the price of things is insane for how much money you actually get, it feels like a anti-piracy thing, 500 to upgrade a weapon when you only have 2 maybe 3 hundred after exploring every room. The first boss is a bullet sponge since its hard to up your dps since upgrading is too expensive, I fear what kind of HP late game bosses will have. The thing that sets this game apart from other bullet roguelikes is the bot transforming, I never did it outside of the tutorial, to ...

*******UPDATED REVIEW******** THIS GAME NEEDS A MAJOR OVERHAUL. I Have played thousands of hours on Gungeon and Isaac (on different platforms) and was looking very forward to this game. This game has the potential to be good ( not as good as Gungeon) once they fix it up. - Guns feel Meh and all the same (apart from some rares) Guns have been changed, however still dont feel very different, mainly innacurate and slow, only really pick up fast firing guns. starting pistol DPS got reduced by half, slow guns are just horrible - Snipers are absolutely trash! 10 damage for like 5 seconds? how did that even get past beta Snipers still feel really under powered for how slow they are, would not pick one up again even a legendary one. - I literally changed my bindings to my preferred bindings before playing the game and it wouldn't automatically transfer to the game so I had to restart the game and revert settings, you cant even change controls in game Still cant change any control se...

It pains me to leave a negative review as I saw the trailer months ago and was VERY excited to play a new Enter the Gungeon. If anything the immediate comparison hurts this game as it doesn't come close imo. There a few things that stick out for me: The music seems very generic and really took me out of the game. It's just laid on top and doesn't seem a part of the experience Item collision is annoying when you have to push a gun you don't want through a corridor. The guns are poor and lack variety - sniper rifles are utter toilet. Immediate damage on hitting your own fire is another annoyance. A burn meter would be handy. I don't think I even got to use the Bibot ability because it charges so slow. I'm sure it gets easier with practice but the first boss seemed ridiculous at first glance. Tanky and doubles up when he's about to die. Wouldn't be so upset with this on a EA release, but it's disappointing from a 1.0

I beat the game within 30 minutes on my 2nd run. There are no upgrades you can buy after a run. No base to build. No new abilities or guns to unlock. It is way too easy and small for the current price. This game isn't worth 3 euro's as it is now. Until there are unlockables or new game+, don't buy it unless you have money to spare. The gameplay is honestly very good, but I refuse to rate a game with such low replayability with a good score.

Nice art and OST, the game is nervous, demanding and has juicy feedback. Some balancing issues, but the developers are listening and fixing it all quickly.

A great first game from the new indie french studio Square Squid ! Pros: - I really like the art direction - Game feel is on point - A lot of juice and feedback - Many perks and weapons associations that vastly change the way you play - The devs are friendly and responsive - BULLETS EVERYWHERE - Hard but not unfair - Very low price tag Cons: - Currencies can be a bit confusing at first - The menuing could be improved a bit Can't wait for my next run !

Pinata OP.

You can change the style of your bullets : size, speed, path, etc. I like it! This game is fun.
