Strong recommend. The style is gorgeous and well executed. The gameplay itself always feels like a fun puzzle. So many of the weapons are amazingly designed, and the quickdraw mechanic is a really clever and well implemented answer to the classic problem of having one op gun. The way ammunication and reloading is also really well executed for the most part with synergies and non-bos to go for and avoid. The light progression with quests and unlocks is satisfying and a nice blend of vague world-building mixed with mechanical incentives without anything feeling like a "must grind power treadmill". Biggest complaints: game needs a bit of final boss variety. After a few dozen wins that combat encounter gets a bit stale (and to the game's credit, their is enough variety in terms of mini-bosses/standard enemies that it actually feels odd that there's only one final boss atm) For the longer chronospheres the late-run progression feels wonky. Because of the way that you can cap our your perk slots, you can get BiS perks with relatively little RNG due to the smallish perk pool, and basically every weapon feels strong enough to clear a run with the right build, you can very easily run into an issue mid-run where your build is kinda capped out and perk/weapon/gadget chests are meaningless. Which uh. Feels bad. None of these contributing factors are fundamentally big issues, but it is a weird problem. Also I want higher difficulty spheres but I didn't finish the progression so maybe that exists at some point. Despite my nitpicks, solid 9/10. I imagine my biggest complaint about the final boss will be addressed by the time 1.0 rolls around and that single change would probably bump it up to like a 9.5/10 w/ an expected playtime of about 40 hours. Maybe longer if we get some higher difficulty and dailies or something. (also as an aside I think any comparisons to superhot are deeply misleading about the game's vibe. The game feels very turn based the movement just isn't grid locked. If anything it feels closer to Arco or even classic roguelikes like Nethack/Cogmind in its pacing)

Very fun, could use some boss variety. Imagine if this had a video playback feature at the end of each floor showing you playing through it, massacring enemies and dodging projectiles without the pause for turns.

It is remarkable how often I look at a choice this game puts in front of me and go, "Okay, so I know this isn't the correct decision, but. " and then some portion of the enemies turn into exploding cows and your lizardcritter flying kicks them and makes them double explode and it's great Anyway, if you're into turn based bullet hells this is probably your jam. If you've never tried that combination of words because there's, like, three of those in existence or whatever, this might be your jam, game's a hoot.

great offerings, gorgeous world, lots of simpsons references. My only wish for a 1.0 release is a harder mode with limited ammo more life sized models and even more simpsons references 4.8/5

Great game. Turns out what I needed to enjoy bullet hell games was for them to be turn based. Took a run or two to get into the flow but I've had a blast with this (at the expense of work I should be doing - very much a 'just one more run' type game). Doesn't feel early access at all, could pass as a complete game. There's a lot of depth to build mechanics that feel really fresh and unique once you get your head around the systems, and a hell of a lot of really creative weapons. Somehow they've threaded the needle where you can 'break the game' with the right build but the challenge never leaves. Obviously looks and sounds fantastic. There are some minor balance issues but I guess that's what early access is for. I'll be playing this one for a while - can't wait to see what more content gets added.
