Tried the demo and it was surprisingly good. Ended up grabbing the full game, and it’s definitely a cool experience. Tougher than it looks, but in a good way. For the price, it delivers more fun than expected. It’s simple, challenging, and you can unlock different characters, some are witty and sarcastic, which I really liked. The old school upgrade and skill system is a nice touch too. So yeah, I’d say it’s worth your time and your munneh.

Good, I guess. Pros: -Looks good, feels good -Lots of maps -well crafted. interesting set pieces -custom game mode is a'ight Cons: -Bizarre design decisions across the board -Hold 3-4 weapons but you'd never want more than two, and usually you're best off with just one. -Synergies don't really exist, so just pick the objectively best skill each upgrade. -No real builds, again just pick the objectively best skill -Many characters, but there is little difference in their abilities and game play, just pick the objectively best one (see a theme here?) -more than half the of the interesting skills are locked into late game well after you've beat the game and lost interest (bizarre) -They mislead the player to thinking there is a 3rd act, but it's just a custom game mode -The meta progression is pretty 'meh' and the costs of upgrades vary wildly, if you're a thinky-boy you will identify the best meta upgrades and obtain them quickly and leave the garbage overpriced stuff -CONSUMABLE 'holds' & 'locks', meaning you have to buy new one EACH RUN. One of them costs TEN TIMES as much as the other. again fucking bizarre. Want to play with strategy? it will cost you an entire run worth gems to do so, so naturally just don't play strategically because the dev is incentivising you not to. -needs more types of enemies -healing is RNG, sometimes you simply won't have a way to heal and will VERY likely just die through attrition damage late into the game, incredibly frustrating -readability could be improved late into matches when lots of doods are on screen -the voice acting, immediately turned that shit off Typical game play loop: 1)Pick the objectively best starter weapon, I mean character. 2)RNG upgrades, hope for starter weapon upgrades, then hope for the objectively best skills, then pray to your chosen deity for the passive health regen skill before things get too hairy. Last resort, pick the healing spell if you cant get the regen, cry 3)run around the map looking for your weapon upgrade workbench, it doesn't cost anything to upgrade but needs to be a certain level. why cant it just upgrade automatically on level since it is free anyways? who knows. Anyways, find that workbench and again pray to your chosen deity for a life steal related upgrade (did you remember to pick the objectively best character at the start? cuz if you didn't your weapon cant roll life steal) 4)OK you're ~8minutes in, you've either hit life gen/steal and 4+levels on your starter weapon; Good job, you need to finish the remaining 22 minutes by face tanking every mob in the game until you win. Otherwise, bad job idiot, you can now begin a slow painful death as you desperately plead with god for any kind of healing. I'm gonna be honest, I don't really want to give a positive review. I am going to though as there is a lot of potential in this game, the bones are there. The game looks and feels great. But it really isn't going to tickle that 'survivors' style game play that you're probably looking for. It's a cheap, shallow imitation right now simply because of poor balance and poor design decisions. I hope a patch comes along a cleans this all up. $5 sale on launch, if it were any higher I would not recommend

Oh this is gonna be something special. It's a tad light on content still but completely understandable with it being early access. It FEELS really good and the aesthetic is on point. When it's 1 AM on a work night and you've got me wondering if I could do one more round, you're doing something right.

For an early access game it's absolute beast. It's like Doom, Vampire Survivors and Hexen had a threesome and this is the baby and obviously the devs were looking for that specifically. It takes about a couple of hours to beat the only episode available now (maybe less if you speedrun it), but it's too fun to revisit the levels with different characters and see what sort of crazy build you can muster up. Unlocking the objectives also gives good incentive to keep playing after you finish the episode. Artstyle and music are superb - whoever came up with the designs and sound kudos to you. Visuals are nice, game plays very smoothly and I havent experienced any hicups even in the most intense situations. Gore levels are good for a boomer shooter, but can be cranked up a bit. I mean it's a power fantasy - go crazy with it. Only thing I would like to see in the visual/graphic department personally is for them to add an option for a CRT filter - the game has a strong 90s aura - give us CRT option and you'll have an absolute treasure. Characters and their variety is very nice. Somehow they all play differently and have witty, cheesy one liners that only build up on the 90s nostalgia. Weapon variety is not very bit now, but it is early access and I definitely believe they have more coming up. Even though the variety is little for now all the weapons available play very differently and are very tight and satisfying to use. Keep it up, but same as with the gore - go crazy with it. This type of game holds no bars on you - I want to see ridiculous weapons and spells. As a doom mapper the level design is awesome - maps are not random and have been built with sense and the thought of managing a horde - superb work there so far, keep it up with the upcoming episodes. Overall I'd say it's a solid 8/10 and that's only because there's not much content right now but as updates roll out I bet it will get packed and I will definitey be updating that score. Well worth the money for the content it currently offers and the replay value, so go for it! As an advice to the devs, what I can say is - make more weapons and spells, give an option for CRT filter, crank up the gore and maybe give us a map/level editor (I would love that so much) with workshop and you have a solid 11/10!

While it is a bit short on content at the moment, I can say I enjoy Bloodshed's combination of Bullet Heaven mechanics, meta-progression and Retro-FPS-style presentation, with numerous shoutouts to the Build Engine "holy trinity", Blood in particular. Its maps are strung together by a simple campaign structure, which is already a notable mixup in comparison to the genre standard. I'm looking forward to future updates.
