Basically Gauntlet. The default controls are retarded, but with a bit of fannying about you can set up a good twinstick controller config, & there are lots of handy controller options allowing you to set up buttons for strafing, autofire, press to prevent movement etc. Gives you a reason not to hold down the fire button by having attacks slow movement speed. Pixel art is nice enough, music is mid. Steam workshop support is very basic, just custom campaigns to play through, but it's still nice to have, & should add a few more hours of fun to the game after you beat the vanilla campaign. No signs of woke BS or politics, just fun arcadey goodness. The lack of Steam Cloud support is annoying (you will lose your save files if you uninstall the game).

The Boys and I just purchased this game for $2 because we were all supposed to get together last night but one was feeling a little sick plus the weather was bad. So we compromised on buying this game and playing together online. It's very simple and we only played for 1.8 hours at this point, but we had a lot of fun dinking around with different characters, exploring the levels, and just noodling and having fun. It comes off as a basic build in today's world (though fairly complicated for a 2013 game), but it's actually pretty complex. We got all the way to the first main boss where we got DOMINATED. We look forward to our next play session and seeing where this goes. IF we continue to enjoy the game, we might end up playing our way down the full lineup of games. Final judgment: For $2, check this out. Make sure you have friends to play with as I feel this is very difficult solo. You will easily get your money's worth and then some.

Amazing modern version of gauntlet, love the pixel art and crt filters

Dec. 2024

So much fun to play with friends as you can see how different classes in a party perform and they can help you pick up coins which is very tedious to do on your own.

9/10 Buen juego, un poco largo para mi gusto (debido a que me tomo mucho tiempo buscando cosas o secretos) Recomendado para los que les gusten los juegos de calabozos.
