Metavoidal

Great music, great art - maybe a bit difficult and chaotic but you get the hang of it if you just keep dodging. I really like how true it is to its theme of metal music and culture. Also super cool how each playthrough feels different with your custom move sequence customisation and the tracks you get.

The most metal thing on steam! A bit difficult, but if you keep trying it has a good rhythm to it. Love the dynamic sound track and the artwork!

Pretty interesting game idea. I did one dungeon run because of limited time during the work week. Will play more over the weekend for sure. Pros so far: * Thematically the game is very unique * Cool Pixel art style * Solid soundtrack * Game play from the bit that I played feels like the dungeon runs in Cult of the Lamb, but ramped up * I saw what looked like a super expansive skill tree (so I assume there will be many ways to customise & create builds) * Made in South Africa by a new first time studio so I am expecting more good things :) * Ran really well on my Steamdeck. Perfect type of game while commuting to work. Cons: * I am a super casual gamer these days, and the tutorial for my taste was quite, lets say, unsatisfying, due to getting gang-banged by a million mobs right at the end without a lot of context. This added quite a steep barrier of entry for me. I guess it was perhaps meant as a joke to hardcore roguelite fans, but if you want newbies to join, perhaps some ability to...

Cool and interesting game so far, Will definitely be giving it more time, have to support ouer fellow South Africans perusing their dreams

Metavoidal rocks! Well, Metals actually but you get the idea. The soundtrack is really good, some of the best original metal music I've heard a small indie game. Love the way it dynamically changes based on your build choices. The pixel art style is stunning and perfectly captures the eldritch metal aesthetic. Combat is challenging but rewarding once you master the technique combos, with enough variety to suit different play styles. Each run feels different thanks to the tracks and relics you can mix which are randomised on each run. The difficulty ramps up well (with enemy unlocks tied to progress), making it genuinely tough but never unfair. Works really well on Steam Deck and on macOS. Overall, there's a really fresh take on roguelites with music here. I've already spent a ton of time playing and can't wait to finish it all.

Fun Roguelite with an excellent soundtrack. Bosses can be tricky and death is inevitable. All you need is the right tracks and equipment and you'll be drumming your way through the level and bosses. Works well on steam deck and its easy to jump in and out. Great first game from the studio!

Absolute banger, pun intended!

Overall, recommended for folks who like roguelikes. Extra recommend for those who like challenging games PROs * Works on steam deck really well (no verified status at the moment, but works perfectly) * Sound design is really good * Interesting spin on combat * Skill tree is really nice, you can plan ahead too CONs * Wished the game had an easier difficulty level. The longer you play, then the enemies also upgrade in difficulty. So you'll notice that later runs become harder and you make less progress * A dodging tutorial would be nice

The music: 1000000/10 (METAAAAAALLLLL!!!!) The characters: 10/10 (Actually pretty quirky and interesting) Combat: 8/10 (could do with slight polishing but nevertheless really fun) Story: 9/10 (really interesting and fun to unravel) Art: 10/10 (really loving the art style) So deliciously frustrating yet fun and engaging, I keep coming back to it for more

Hell of a fun time with a brilliant soundtrack and a bloody splash of eldritch chaos. Improve your drum skills to get yourself through the circles of hell. Turn up the volume, drop the blast beats and take this one for a spin.
