Polygod

I want to like this game. I really, REALLY do. It has potential to be a fairly decent addition to anyone's library. But at the moment (2/10/2017) I just can't recommend Polygod. Let's talk about why. The good -Interesting "blessing" system where you purchase buffs to change your weapon in unique ways. -The buffs can interact with each other, similar to The Binding of Isaac. -Rewards high skilled players. -Decent amount of content for a game at it's stage. -Multiple characters to unlock and play. The bad -Certain buffs have massive problems with each other. -Buffs are not explained well at times, making you expect one thing and end up with something much worse. -While levels are randomly generated, everything in each level looks and feels exactly the same. -Enemy variety is very poor. -Why can we get on the top of the walls in the Garden of Gaia? Seriously, it feels unintentional but it's so easy there's no way it's an accident. -The bosses are difficult beyond the point where they s...

Multiplayer was region locked because it uses Unity servers so unfortunately I couldn't experience multiplayer with overseas friends at all. I did contact the devs, and found that I could play with other people in the US, just not my overseas pals. Its EA so I can't give too much shit, but for a massively multiplayer update I was let down on that component entirely, and was the reason of purchase. The other issue I have is the projectile amount, with certain loadouts the amount of particles are computer demolishing and there is no hard limit it seems to how many you can acquire. 2x, 3x, 4x 5x bullets, with more bullets that trail, that split into three, that have subsonic waves. The amount of projectiles and performance of them is really obnoxiously bad and left for some really awkward balance by my longest playthrough to the final boss. The entire screen was filled to the brim and I could clear the entire map with 5-10fps destroying my CPU @ 4.7ghz on an i7. Definitely needs some ba...

This game is quite honestly the most immersive FPS I've ever player, and I've even played CS:GO, so that's really saying something. Even still, however, I am obliged to list a couple of cons at this point since I'm stating the pros as well. Let's start with the many, many good things about this game. Pros: -Unique upgrade system called 'blessings' -Bosses (dubbed Holy Champions) are very fun to fight -Many different playable characters you can unlock -More than 4 worlds to explore -The same amount of Holy Champions as there are worlds -"Boss Blessings" that give you unique abilities only unlockable or aquirable after beating a Holy Champion -A varitey of enemies to utterly obliterate...or skip a few of them, I don't know, do what you want -A brutal - AND I MEAN BRUTAL - difficulty curve (This can be a pro OR a con depending on if you like a challenge) -And so much more that I can't even list it all! Now, on to the cons...or rather, scarcity of cons: -There is a severe shortage of mul...

POLYGOD is a great game. It is a rogue-like first person shooter. Unlike othere games in this genre POLYGOD is really really good. The developers listen to the community and regular updates the game. They frequently make changes to the game balancing when enough players requests it. The game itself has an old school feel to it. The gun is in the middle bottom of the screen (like the original doom). Each enemy a specific attack pattern. The levels are randomly generated. Usually this means poor level design but with POLYGOD this is really well done. The levels has a seed that can be adjusted by the player. The games blessings (will come to that shortly) is attached to the seed so each run will be the same with the same seed. There is also a daily dungeons for competing against other players. The blessings is basically a power ups. They are bought using souls, that s acquired from killing enemies. The power ups are great, varied and the more powerfull power ups usually have a down side,...

A little gem of a game that has already been improved so much since release. The developer is active and dedicated to regular updates, as well as being open and receptive to community feedback. All this game needs is to keep expanding the content and improving the overall experience, and it could become basically a cleaner, more colorful FPS version of Binding of Isaac. Also, Brontes is the best NPC character <3

I had the privilege of playing this game a lot before it came into Early Access, including at a convention with the developers. Upon Early Access release, I was offered a free copy but refused, it deserved my money. Roguelikes typically struggle to find the right equilibrium between hard and easy. Polygod manages to find this centre excellently, allowing it to be accessible while still challenging. A great FPS and roguelike.

Warning! Seriously addictive! Really tough but also fair. Still has minor issues but dev and community are really active. This looks really good for an early access game and has huge potential. Love the aesthetics.

I'm just posting a quick positive "review" because the game only has like 10 reviews at the time I'm posting this. This game is something else and that something else is awesome! The gameplay is really fast and easy to jump right into. You have one gun that you upgrade throughout a run and you can come out having some pretty crazy combos. You can also upgrade yourself with passive buffs or even more health. It can get pretty crazy at times because everything is moving so fast but the chaos is part of the fun. The game does have permadeath so if you die you start from the beginning. It is in Early Access but the dev seems pretty diligent about completing and making the game better. So yeah I recommend this one for sure! :)

I appreciate the actions these Devs took for their collaboration gift support they did with BoI. Genius part on theirs! Support these Devs and this is a great start of a game as well! I've not played too much into the game, but this style and gameplay is what I'm going for. I've played 1000s of hours on Binding of Isaac between PC, Vita, and PS4. I absolutely love these styles of random generated dungeon crawling rogues. This one give a bit of the fast pace feel that binding has. For this price I'd recommend a buy. Hopefully they will be adding more features and creatures.

WHAT THE FUCK GUYS THIS GAME IS AWESOME, WHY DID YOU REMOVE IT.
