Obludia

I almost never write reviws, but the asking price for this game is horrible, the game took me one hour to beat.... they dont have a list of controls when you start the game so good luck with that you hit Escape (usual pause right?) ends your game and kicks you back to main menu, but again the length of the game is entirely to short for what there asking.

To keep it simple Obludia is a nice fun arena game. I don't think it has much replay value however that doesn't mean the first playthrough isn't fun as hell. The mechanics are solid in this game and it has enough weapons and spells to keep you interested throughout the game. The pricepoint is argueably the biggest issue with this game. The price for time spent(which will differ greatly depending on skill) might not be what some people are use to with Indies. With that being said I think this is a good buy at $9.00 with the potential to be a great buy when on sale. Full video review below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTpz25uSues

a really fun game kind of like binding of issac

Great little game , I love the graphics and the gameplay, dont understand the moaning about the price,well worth it in my book. Also a Dev that keeps in touch with the players. If you like arcade arena shooters then you have to get this game , its a no brainer and quite challenging too ! The only negative I have is with having to quit the entire game after every session , but the Dev has already indicated that he is aware of these issues .. so kudos for that :)

Stylistically this is obviously heavily influenced by Binding of Isaac. The gameplay is actually not an Isaac clone though - It's a smash TV / robotron type wave shooter. There's also simply much less content than Isaac and there isn't the roguelike element to mixup what content there is. It's not a bad game, nor a great game, just a small one.

Obludia is yet another of literally hundreds of lazy amateur 2D retro top-down shooter/brawlers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. Now, people have said this looks like a bad ripoff of Binding of Isaac and I respectfully disagree... BoI had procgen map layouts and a number of different themed rooms, a sense of progression and a bunch of other stuff to flesh out what was admittedly a seriously overrated 2D top down shooter game. This doesn't have any of those features, it's just a godawfully bad 2D retro brawler. One important note is that even though this is an amateur project, it does seem to be sincerely and genuinely made. I couldn't find any flipped assets, plagiarism or any other kind of insincere actions from the developer, but unfortunately genuine intentions alone are not enough to produce a brilliant PC gaming experience. The game cropped up a lot of negative reviews, which I suppose it does deserve (it's an awful game). But...

The only reason I bought this is because I got suckered in while I was in shock from grief the day my brother in law died, July 19, 2014. This was released a day earlier on the 18th. I came home on July 19th at about 11pm, only a few hours after I had been holding his hand after he died in his hospital bed at the age of 38. I remember sitting here looking at my screen and not even knowing where the fuck I was and barely able to even function because it is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I saw this in the store and thought wow this looks like the Binding of Isaac but way better, because I hate that game. The $9 and screenshots, unknown dev, and everything else was a red flag but I was out of my mind and said fk it and bought it. Any other time I would have waited to see user reviews. Buying this is one of the biggest mistakes and was almost as traumatizing as watching my brother-in-law take his last breath. This piece of crap should be removed from steam or have its price ...

Hi, my name is RoX. So, you’re thinking of purchasing Obludia and you are looking for advice. Well you've come to the right place. I know my twin stick shooters, I love my twin stick shooters, and possibly could be considered the foremost authority on the genre and Obludia, being of the twin stick genre was a must buy purchase for me. Let me ask you the reader of my review one question, what part of the trailer looked "old school"? You don't have to give me your answer, I bring this up only to provoke thought, because in my opinion about .01% of it was. Everything about this game is poorly emulated "old school" all the way down to the sound! It feels and plays more like an Andriod "app" and well "apps" are far from old school. This is more of a question for the developers because I've been wondering if they have to pay royalties to Edmund? Before going into this game I did expect some knockoffs but not to this degree! Seriously this has may have 1% of original content and most like...
