March 2025
Loving this so far, its simple but deep, the weapons are really fun to discover, things are explained well and I'm really liking how the game avoids overwhelming the player by sort of drip feeding you new features, great game design choice that more roguelikes should have as it is an overwhelming genre. Only complaint is the audio, feels like 90% of the sounds are on the low end of the spectrum, very bassy and it gives me a headache rather fast. I mute the game and that solves it but just as a warning for new players that it can give minor bass sickness. It would help having a more flat soundscape to offset this feeling (e.g, more variety in pitch with sound effects, less "blur" distortion on gameplay audio) Other than that unfortunate inconvenience, its a steal for the price and there is a lot of content to dive into. Would be a shame to miss out on.

Love the weapon mutation system, Its incredible just how much variety you can get from 4 weapon types! High skill curve despite the very simple controls. A system-heavy game with extremely quick rounds so I can always try something new. Very cool!

The game is fun, but even if you don't play it, the number of discounts you'll get from bundles with this game is unreal. The developer networks like nobody's business. You'll easily make your money back from the amount you'll save.

I bought the game the day before it went 50% off. The dev found out and replied with vine boom sound effect. Based. (P.S - There's literally a free demo that shows you how amazing the game is. definitely worth it)

Good Game, Simple but with a lot of Content. Genome Guardian gameplay is easy enough to understand, but whenever you get a handle on what the game is about, a new perk, turret, or gamemode gets introduced to radically change how you approach the game. I've been playing for nearly 7 hours now, and I still haven't unlocked a fraction of the content in this game yet.
