Looks good, sounds good, doesn't do much wrong. I like the fast pace, the boss fights and the option to quit to desktop after finishing a level. There are a couple bugs that may have you restart a level, but other than that it's alright. 100% achievement completion means beating two playthroughs (one with each character), finding a couple secrets and surviving 20 waves in endless mode. Difficulty is optional. Overall, it's okay.

Pretty fun boomer shooter with a cool comic book art style and a great Lovecraft-inspired atmosphere. The guns feel powerful, the combat is fast, and it does a good job of keeping the action entertaining. It definitely has some flaws—enemy encounters can get repetitive, the difficulty be very overwhelming of enimies, and a few levels drag on longer than they should. Still, the strong art direction and satisfying gameplay make it easy to overlook those issues and make an enjoyable experience for anyone who enjoys old-school shooters.

I like these "boomer shooters" as a sort of cozy game. This one happened to stand out a lot to me visually. The entire game, up until the last boss battle, i was constantly looking at the environment and trying to get a good look at enemy design. The combat and progression are simple and satisfying. Although i didn't like having to choose either a cool gun or more health with your skill points. Then the final "world" had some insane visuals, but the level design was not ideal. I see what they were going for but it really just felt like a crammed in final few levels with reused world assets. I would have preferred they doubled down on the cosmic visuals. just my personal preference though. it was still fun to blow up baddies. Maybe rebalance the difficulties just a little bit. Ammo scarcity was a real pain considering how fun the core shooting gameplay is. Last point, it ran like butter on my pc. My pc is sorely lacking in RAM but it still ran great, even when tons of enemies were on screen and there were tons of projectiles. That Chaos was fun. For what this game as aiming to deliver, I would give it a solid 8/10. I encourage everyone to try it out.

I don't understand the negative reviews. The gunplay is so satisfying, especially in tandem with how fast you move. The art style is very stylish and unique, but more importantly, it's clear- in the sense that you can always tell exactly what you're looking at. Enemies stand out vividly, which I find valuable in a game like this. Plus their designs are dope, and often change based on how you choose to engage them. Like the liquidator; shooting their tank of green fluid completely transforms them from this Wolfenstein looking soldier into a full-on eldritch monster, which also disables their ability to use projectiles. This sort of thing applies to a few other enemies as well. If you're looking for a narrative based game, it's pretty shallow, which is fine with me. The focal point of this game is fun. Pure, bloody, speedy fun. I'm playing a video game, not watching a movie lol and yea, the voice acting is corny, but I can't imagine anyone being so bothered by it that it outweighs or spoils the enjoyment you get from being a priest (or journalist) mowing down hordes of eldritch creatures to an awesome, metal guitar driven soundtrack. It's such a side thought, I didn't even think about it until I started reading other reviews. It doesn't have a crazy Path of Exile talent tree, it's pretty simple, ranging from basic health/armor upgrades, to changing how your gun functions entirely. The cool part about it, is that you can reset your points immediately at will, allowing you to try every possible variation for your arsenal. And the guns you get are great, I was always switching to every single one of them based on the situation. I compared that to a similar game like Doom (2016), where I found myself using the same 3 guns and forgetting the others even existed half the time. Huge recommend if you're a gamer looking to just game, and not be bogged down by 20 minute cutscenes, or hand-holding tutorials, or talking/walking simulators. It's just back to back, nuts to butts action, how could you not love it?
