About This Game

Here is a tight roguelite top-down shooter in the spirit of classic indie Nuclear Throne, where every run takes 12 minutes. Death is merely a set-back as you try to make it through the levels fighting mystic creatures and picking tarot cards for radical upgrades.

Great game! Experimenting with different card and weapon combos to try and get further and further is fun. One combination I especially enjoy trying to put together is Judgement, The Moon, and either an explosive weapon or the mini-gun. Get to shred through enemies and walls with infinite ammo and health (but for only a while)! I do wish there were some way to see what cards you've already picked more clearly though, like seeing the name when you hover over them? Maybe I'm just missing something though. Aside from that, still great!

Didnt feel fun at all, maybe it's just a me problem. The graphics didnt help at all the fact the upgrades feel worthless and weapons feel just too common / mundane, more considering this game was released in 2023, 8 years after games like nuclear throne and enter the gungeon. Canno recommend this whatsoever

Very simple yet effective concept, and executed incredibly well! Essentially, you choose a card every few stages that usually gives you a positive and negative effect. While this may seem rather frustrating, I'd say that Punkcake did an incredible job at balancing out all cards, as almost all of them synergise with each other. In one run you may be rampaging recklessly through any and every enemy with your insane movement and attack speed, while in another you'd be cautelous with hazards with a glass cannon build There aren't many levels to go through in a single run, and sometimes you may reach the final one with ease, but the real challenge in Damocles Gaze is its achievements, where you must unlock and complete a run with each individual card since the beggining of a run. I'd actually go as far as to say that the achievements are an integral part in the game's replayability factor, as it has only a handful of incredibly refined weapons, similarly to Nuclear Throne, bu...
