May 2025
Really enjoying this game. Great twin-stick shooter with a good amount of depth and content. Was able to finish a run solo so it is possible if you're wondering. Looking forward to playing more! Hope the game does well enough to get additional characters, weapons, and etc. Best of luck to the Devs!! P.S. Maybe I'm just lucky but haven't run into any major bugs. Had a couple small visual issues but really no big deal.

April 2025
Reviewers have presented some valid criticisms of the game so far. What I'll say is this: it's super fun, but the player is vastly underpowered in multiplayer to the extent that it feels impossible to play this game with other people. There are options to reduce the game's difficulty, but I don't want to do that: I want to play the default experience as intended, but believe it needs to be tuned--in multiplayer specifically. Do note: without earning a good deal of meta-progression power, it is impossible to survive a multiplayer run for any real amount of time. There are options to reduce difficulty, but that's really not a fun way to play--the game difficulty should really just be tuned better from the get-go. Some notes: -Power-ups ought to be a bit beefier, and since taking them also incurs certain drawbacks (e.g., +5 Max Health but -5% reload speed or something), it needs to feel more worthwhile when you select upgrades. Generally, the power-ups just aren't very exciting to use. -Devs need to re-examine how reloads work. They get interrupted by most actions, and it often just feels clunky. A lot of weapons feel useless in singleplayer due to this, and in multiplayer, enemies are way too overtuned regardless, so it really doesn't matter much what you choose. -Grenades/throwables need a rework. Once frag grenades land, they take a second or two to blow up; because enemies move so fast, it feels impossible to effectively frag a group of enemies. -The default starting character feels the most satisfying to play. Other characters should be reworked a bit to make them more exciting to use. -Meta-progression is S L O W. It takes so long to earn enough Data Nugs to spend on the meta-progression buffs that permanently upgrade your characters, and most of the upgrades are lackluster anyway (although still desperately needed). I'd really rather be able to upgrade more frequently, even if it means the benefits of each upgrade have to be balanced around that. Or maybe even more frequent upgrades, but they have to be earned separately for each character. I want to feel more adequately rewarded for completing a really good run. -During runs, you can find something akin to shops where you can sometimes buy weapons on offer. All of these weapons are the same ones you can unlock and use via meta-progression. Since you select your weapons at the start of a run, it's really boring to find weapons in shops. If you already select your ideal weapons at the start of a run, it's just not fun when you find the same selection in shops. -Some upgrades feel useless. There's one that increases your flashlight brightness and field of view. When you're playing multiplayer, there might be some utility to this, but in singleplayer, it provides no benefit. Every upgrade should be useable and useful, at least to some extent, in both single and multiplayer. -Certain negative traits (e.g., Big Head Status) don't explain what they actually do. Makes it hard to decide whether you want to take a perk because, in the moment, you can't always tell whether it's in your best interests.

Awesome rogue-lite, snappy controls and action, enough upgrades and discoveries/variety for some mad "just one more run" feels - I played solo and had a blast, I can imagine co-op is epic fun :)

Fun game, but devs at the start making me wait 2 mins to enter the area and listen to all the dialog almost made me quit and refund. Do not waste players times, give them the option to skip everything and get right into the action!

I love this game, its a game I have been wishing and waiting for, after playing the ascent I needed something more similar yet zombie like survivor and this really hit the spot, I have just finished the boss and was hoping for a second run but sadly that was it.
