StarBreak

"Contra MMO" sounds weird but here it works very well. Join the zerg and shoot and loot everything in the way. There's permadeath (and a health bar, no one hit kills here) but recovering from it is fast. Also, the music is GREAT, it runs well on macOS and supports controllers.

Nice Ideas are in this game

Fun and addicting. If you like platforming and bullet hell this game is for you. Oh, and you also lose everything on you when you die, character included. I've alt+F4 many, many times on some very rage inducing deaths lol. Still a great game that I always find myself going back to on occation.

platformer meets guns mets aliens

I don't often steam review, but when i do, it's 10/10

StarBreak, the game you have a love-hate relationship with. You rage, but come back to it anyways. (I promise, It's fun especially with friends).

the reason i like StarBreak so much is because of it's fast paced metroidvania action, coupled with a seamless MMO experience. in many ways, this game is similar to the Binding of Isaac games, allowing you to pick up stat items, try different equipment combinations, see how far you can go, and inevitably die, and start the process all over again. even though character deaths are permanent, your account level is not, and will stay with you forever. you can gain account xp in nearly any way (boss kills, time spent, performance), but you can only increase the level cap by finishing a zone you haven't won before, forcing you always seek out harder challenges. being F2P, the money advantage has to be here somewhere, right? nope, you can only buy very small cosmetic items that reset with your character death, which both suck and is a reasonable way to create income in the game. i would strongly recommend giving this game a try, however long you might want to play it!

Really good game. There is permadeath which gets very annoying at times, but over all, it is a fun sidescrolling mmo that will keep you playing for hours at a time.

+a bit fun, especially if there're more players around +loots -but loots only temporary -bought item also not permanent, lost when u die -animation suspend during jump i'll not recommend this for long run, but try it for fun...
