Gran Vitreous

This is Geometry Wars mixed with Rogue Legacy. Everytime you die, you start over from the first level but keep your upgrades and can buy new upgrades with the money you made from a run. Features: [*]You can customize your ship with new hull components, weapons, secondary weapons... [*]Ship changes appearance based on the weapons you carry. [*]You can level up and buy upgrades in a skill tree [*]You can reroll the attributes of an item. [*]You can switch between 4 main weapons (gatlin gun, laser, particle cannon, phaser arrays...) [*]You have a secondary weapon like missiles, mines, drones.... [*]You have a super that allows you to throw bombs, grenades, clustergrenades... [*]Randomized level generation which is reminiscent of FTL (you travel between nodes) [*]Level modifiers like area size, enemy size, exp gained, player damage, enemy damage but also environmental effects like black holes or meteor storms. It's quite the ambitious project! And it mostly delivers! One of the downsid...

Geometry Wars + Rogue Legacy = Gran Vitreous if I want to say it in tl:dr format. [h1]So what to expect from this shmup[/h1] Well the game got to offer some RPG-lite elements( leveling up, passive skills,gear) and Rogue-lite elements(randomly generated lvls) . Gameplay is pretty straightforward : Kill or be killed. At the moment you can pick one of the two modes to play : Campaign and Endless. [b] Campaign [/b] There isnt much of a story in the campaign: your goal is to destroy Gran Vitreous, the mother shape that creates the ships that attack the galaxy. In order to find Gran Vitreous you need to find its coordinates so you go on an adventure to collect 3 segments from the meaniest ships created by Gran Vitreous . So the campaign is separated into 4 zones and each one of them got a level range(0-30,30-60,60-95,95-125) . Though the level number seems to be high you wont need to reach the suggest level in order to complete the zone( I was able to finish the game as level 83) . Ea...

[b][i]Gran Vitreous[/i] is a wonderful shmup, well worth the asking price.[/b] There is [i]alot[/i] of game here, as long as you are ok with the graphics (I personally love them, as someone who loves the indie retro style). [i]Essentially, you fight your way through level-after-level of bullet hell, collecting stuff along the way in order to perma-upgrade your ship for future runs.[/i] It's as simple as that. [b]Pros:[/b] +Hours of fun for a too-small asking price +Great retro visuals and graphics - explosions and pickups are epic! +Controller support works really well for a great couch experience +All the upgrades are complex enough to keep me coming back, yet simple enough to dive into without too much trouble +Upgrades really make you feel more powerful - and they are quite diverse, which changes your playstyle substantially [b]Cons:[/b] -Definately only for those fond of bullet hell with retro-ish graphics [b]Totally worth the five bucks.[/b] You will get well worth your money...

My thumbs hurt -------------- GET THIS GAME The paper napkin pitch? Twinstick shooter roguelite. Geometry Wars mashed with Rogue Legacy, with a dash of FTL. -Geometry Wars: You are a shape, shooting other shapes for points. -Rogue Legacy: There is an item progression and a skill progression. You retain these when you die, which allows you to push further. -FTL: The game is comprised of 4 sectors that you must progress through and defeat the boss at the end. Being a roguelite there is also a healthy amount of randomization throughout. Each sector has dozens of levels. Each level is randomly generated with a subset of the enemy shapes, and various buffs and debuffs. For example, 50% smaller playfield, 200% Enemy health, 75% increased item rarity, and an ASTEROID FIELD. Beat one level and unlock paths to 2-5 others which are similarly randomized. The classic FTL conundrum of pushing forward to simply survive to see the final encounter, versus moving laterally for more loot/XP is in ...

I can already tell after .2 hours of playing this game that it is a very fun twin stick shooter. I think someone else described it as being a cross between Geometry Wars, FTL, and Rogue Legacy. That description is very apt. Procedural generation + Roguelike + upgrades and inventory kept after death prevents this from being repetitive, frantic action makes it fun. A lethal combination that makes it one of the better time-killers available on Steam for $5.

Gran Vitreous is a highly polished, FAST paced 2d twin stick space shooter with rogue light elements and a deep skill tree/level up system(say that once fast). It's got lots of loot and great graphics with tons of mesmerizing particle effects. Catchy tunes and punchy sound effects. GV also has fantastic writing and complex yet streamlined RPG style menus and UI. Addictive and highly recommended.

Wait until it's $2 or $3 .... it's fun and the mechanics are great. Upgrading your ship is the coolest part by far. The game is missing intensity though... it feels way too much like a true throwback. Update the soundtrack and any screen effects when you kill other guys and this game will be completely worth $5

Loot driven Geometry Wars, as simple as that. So far, neither of these two parts is excellent, but both are very good. Requires you to look past the subpar graphics. Expect to die a lot at the beginning, your lv1 white equipment won't take you too far.

Gran Vitreous is a fast paced rogue-like shoot em up with a range of unique enemy types, a diverse weapon set, ship customization and a loot/crafting system that keeps you wanting to playing. Gran Vitreous has loot/crafting mechanics reminiscent of any modern ARPG. This adds a lot of replayability in the form of a galaxy to progress through while you upgrade your ship, grind for new gear and aspire for geometric domination. The shop allows you to sell un-wanted loot, and a store that allows you to re-roll stats on gear that you wish to improve. The game play is a well balanced set of enemies of various speeds and abilities, the zones are also randomized to include environmental factors such as asteroids, black holes, and debris fields but also adjust have randomized attributes modifiers to them such as item rarity, item count, enemy count, zone size, credit amount, enemy health, enemy damage, to name a few I can remember. This makes every zone a unique encounter as it impacts the ...
