Night of the Blood Moon

[h1]Video (gameplay + commentary):[/h1] https://youtu.be/NZNzkn6cBnI [h1]Review:[/h1] Tight twinstick frenetic action roguelite that reminds me of games like Enter the Gungeon and Binding of Isaac. Easily recommended! This game has solid and precise mouse/keyboard controls, a catchy soundtrack, uniformly beautiful pixel art and animation, and most of all, a fun game loop. You're basically a psychotic road runner that invades dreams and beats up cute and adorable stuff, which you accomplish with your fists or with one of a few different ranged weapons including a boomerang, crossbow, hookshot, magical orb, and more. You amass feathers (your currency) which allows you to permanently unlock each ranged weapon. If you die, you have to start all over and try again. It has the right amount of punishment as your skill grows and clearing stages will seem easier over time. Between levels, you are also able to select from randomized perks that will assist each run. This can include stuff l...

This is a neat roguelite, feels pretty similar to Nuclear Throne ( albeit, in 60 fps, and in 16:9 ) you control a single character, mainly using a melee weapon, and one other weapon you choose at the start of your run. you earn currency to unlockmore weps, and in the runs themselves, you earn skill points; which can be used to upgrade your secondary weapon, and add skills ( which are randomized every run ) I like the look, the pixel work is pretty cute~ *EDIT * Game was KB+M only, dev added controller support very quickly ^^b being in early access , you can expect the game to improve - and it's already pretty charming and fun as-is. worth a poke if you're into nuclear throne style games ~

It is a nice looking game, and the controls are not bad, but it seems to be abandonware. The upgrade window between levels says "in development" all of the leaderboard features say "coming soon" and even the wiki button in main menu takes you to 404 page. I probably wouldn't pay the full price even though it is cheap, unless you have beaten all the other similar games already.

I think that "rogue-lite" is really starting to be overused. This is a decent game, I guess, but I just didn't find it to have much depth. Just having procgen layouts of levels isn't enough for me. The art style is cool, but I felt like it was just a twin-stick shooter with an upgrade system, and I felt like I had seen everything the game was going to offer after about 20 minutes. It most reminded me of the kind of flash games I used to play on Kongregate. Decent enough, but not something I would buy again.

It's great! The sprites and animations are very beautiful and clean Every enemy and it's variations are very easy to identify Every weapon changes completely how you play and is great for replayability Absolutely love the music Controls for mouse and keyboard are very intuitive and solid (Have yet to try it with a controller) Can't wait for it to have a fully functional stats and leaderboard system

A great solo Dev title that, while definitely rough around the edges, shows a lot of promise and is a great example of what more can be innovated in the more traditional rogue like space. If you are a fan of difficult but condensed rogue games like Monolith, Wizard of Legend, or Nuclear Throne then you'll find something here you like.

fun but challenging short rounds of running around killing things to get powerups and upgrades and i don't really even know what the story was supposed to be about because it's frantic fast paced fun :] a little excitement when you're bored and don't want to spend a lot of time playing

Fun little Game. Not really anyting bad about it. The controls are responsive, the artstyle is nice, the enemies are creative and otherwise it is a rocksolid game. Really good game for a quick round.

A fun rouge-lite with lots of potential. I will be playing more and I look forward to seeing where the developer takes the game.

10/10 would recommend worth 5 dollars very fun and yes idk how to write a review
