NIMRODS

Need to increase speed at which your character levels up/gets meta upgrades or decrease the ramp up of difficulty. I've spent hours and hours in this game and still have most runs end around 10mins. There are a lot of things I like. Exploring the map to get unlocks, fighting special bosses to unlock characters or stations in your base. There are a lot of reasons to keep coming back. As it is, I feel obligated to go for the same OP upgrades every time or my runs ends after a short time. Hopefully the devs realize that grinding is not where the fun comes from. Build variety and that feeling of being completely overpowered is what gives these games massive replayability. I'm gonna take a break and hope the devs make some changes as they continue to work on the game.

The game is fun ... for the first few runs, but once you start unlocking stuff and surviving longer the fun ends and the lag fest begins. That devs said in January that they were aware of the performance issues, it's August now and still the game freezes when there's too much in the screen, the weird part is that while the game is down to a crawl (1-4 fps) both GPU and CPU are at less than 50% load, that tells me its either a coding problem or an engine problem. This seems to be a recurring problem with most of this bullet heaven games, they are made with shitty engines that can't manage it.

After about 30-minutes of gameplay, I thought this was another Vampire Survivors clone. After another 30-minutes, I realized this game has a lot more going for it than what meets the eye. Meta progression is incredibly fun. I don't typically find myself enjoying gun-based survivors-likes, but I'm really enjoying this one. The game has a huge exploration factor to it that most other survivors-likes do not typically have. I'm very much looking forward to this game's continued development

Edit: There are two settings I previously missed that allow you to turn explosion and bullet opacity down. Do it. They help out A LOT. Problem solved, it's a great game. This is genuinely a really fun twist on the Vampire Survivors / Enter the Gungeon style game. It has a lot of potential and I've enjoyed the time I've played it. Unfortunately I cannot recommend it as it's very poorly optimized and even with a quality computer, you're system will be bogged down toward the end of a run. Certain builds will absolutely cut your frames per second down to less than 1. It's pretty disappointing and significantly detracts from the entertainment value when the final boss is somewhere on your screen but you can't tell because your game appears frozen for five seconds for every half second of game play.

Some great concepts and it plays smoothly, but as of writing this review there isn't enough content to keep you engaged for a long period. Suggest waiting until full release as I'm sure it will be great by then.

No. Grindy and repetitive, even for the genre. Lacks build diversity. Prone to having so many things onscreen it becomes difficult to see and play, or even crashes. Minimizing the projectile opacity slider helps but does not completely solve the issue.

Fun game to kill some time with, but the balance is completely and utterly out of wack. I didn't want to give this game a thumbs down, at least not without pushing a little further before passing judgement. Now, after several more hours, the furthest I have gotten so far is level 50-something, maybe two or three times, and every good run (40+) almost ALWAYS ends with the game suddenly spawning enemies around me on the screen, practically right on top of me, and so many of them with tons of health, to just straight up brute force kill me. I'm calling this total bulls**t. See GIF below. 20 seconds condensed down into 4. I tried another two runs, and I just can't seem to get to 60. No matter what, this is eventually what happens (I couldn't get it all in there): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3541453185 You start off with a lvl 1 weapon every time. Most of the weapons are straight up bad until you get certain augments. My best runs so far were all done with the ...

Great replayability, fun roguelite

Actually a nice variation on the survivors-like sub-genre.

dawg i lowkey pirated it and it was such a good game i had to buy it to support the devs. like this is imo the best game ive played thats came out in the past few years, it seems to be devs who actually care and want to make a product that people like not just put out a game for money. the game just needs more time to have more added to it only took about 2-3 days to fully beat it but was a damn fun time
