Death Goat

Just buy the great metal soundtrack instead As a metal fan I found the presentation to be fantastic, it has black metal cheese all over it, the characters look metal as fuck and the soundtrack is kickass. But what makes this game just fall apart is the gameplay and some technical issues. First off the gameplay is so bland and cookie cutter standard, the power ups are nice but only last for a short time and don't drop fast enough, there are not enough power ups, you move way to fast and keep knocking into enemies, some enemies are hard to see since they are so small and you die so quickly since your shields hitbox is absolutely huge and after it runs out it's just a matter of time before you accidentally run into an enemy because of the crazy movement speed. And excluding the issues I had with the power ups the game also lacks a lot of content, there's just a handful of bland boring maps and the fun cool characters all play the same but I've heard that the tank that you unlock at 1.0...

A pretty standard twin stick top down shooter. What sets it apart is the glorious metal sound track. If you are a fan of metal, you'll love this.

Death "Metal" Goat @ 3bucks? instabuy! Not treading any new ground for twin stick shooters, still fun in short bursts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTjSgRT6Iko Contains 3 levels and 4 characters which really are just different skins. Would have liked to see layout of levels altered and while enemies were reasonably creative I feel it's a missed opportunity not to be themed to each zone. Music is where the game shines and you'll be hard pressed not to have a headbang while playing. 14 great tracks are included with the option of randomizing the playlist. Global scoreboards available for scorechasers. Screen resolutions of 4k+ was supported along with sliders for sfx, voices and music (why would you turn that down/off !?). Controls were unable to be remapped and a gamepad would be suggested. Decent little pick and play stress reliever, don't even need to spend 15minutes delving through 30 menus before the slaughter begins. \m/

Played on Linux with help of proton 4.2 (4.2-7 and 4.2-9, specifically). Death Goat is a fast-paced arcade shooter where you need to kill wave after wave of disgusting monsters until they overwhelm you and kill your character. 5 characters to choose from, 4 of which available from the beginning and 1 you'll have to unlock (and to do that, you'll have to grind for a ton of points). 4 of basic characters attack and move exactly identical, no differences in HP or attack rate either. They only differ in sprites and animations when move or dying. When you start the game, you can choose one of three maps (all of them are open areas with no obstacles), character, and soundtrack for your battle (which will play infinitely until your character die). Each character has a pack of bombs to kill all enemies on the screen at once, 3 lives, and magic shield which live through 3 hits. I got a few rounds and here's what I didn't like: [list] [*]Character moves too fast, and flies face first into ...

Metal playing in the background while you slaughter enemies til your dying breathe. THIS GAME IS AMAZING! :D

A fun fast paced arcade top down shooter, where you survive waves of hell spawn and all to a KICKASS sound track.

RELEASE THE CRACKHEADS!!! Death Goat is a hard-core wave based twin-stick shooter where you play as a Satanic goat (or maybe someone else if you prefer, like a death metal granny in a wheel chair) shooting down hordes of demons in a wasteland of your choice. It doesn't really matter who you choose though because all the characters seem to function the same - although the tank does seem pretty difficult to monitor the protection aura level. Death Goat also has a lot going for it music wise. If you like metal, you're going to like this. You can select what you want to listen to, or just go for shuffle track on death which is the best way to go really until you've heard it all and picked your favourite tracks in the game. In terms of actual game play you move about on a fairly empty wasteland - there aren't any environmental obstacles like mountains; it's just you and tonnes of demons (though being in early access maybe some environmentals will be added later). The worst of all the dem...

Fun little game. Needs more cowbell.

I love it. Where else can you play as Death Granny or Death Kitty? Good power ups, generic death metal music, and decent graphics. Pick it up on a sale.

[h1]This game is easy to like, difficult to enjoy[/h1] [b]As a game, I cannot recommend. If you just want to expand your collection, just listen to some tunes, have a laugh, sure, it's suitable.[/b] [b]Pros:[/b] [list][*]Cool theme [*]Good music [*]Low Price[/list] [b]Cons:[/b] [list][*]The art direction of the game is very lame. The menus are so beautiful, the music is so well curated. And then the monsters feel too cheap, too cartoony. [*]Worse, is the gameplay. You just move so fast, it's outrageous. And not outrageous in a good way. [*]The game defaults to monitor 0 instead of the primary display set in windows. Watch out multi-monitor gamers. Shift+Win+Arrow Key is an easy work around, luckily.
