I was hoping for a single player The Riftbreaker, without building, but it's really towards the bottom of the action roguelike survivors genre. When am I gonna get a good game with my name in it?!

Project Lazarus by Terapoly is a distinctive take on the reverse bullet hell genre that skillfully combines intense mech combat with rogue-lite progression mechanics. The game places players in the role of a mech pilot tasked with defending a hostile alien planet from relentless waves of monstrous creatures. Unlike traditional bullet hell games where dodging a barrage of enemy projectiles is the primary challenge, Project Lazarus flips the formula by having players actively dispatch swarms of enemies with their own arsenal of weapons and abilities. This fresh perspective creates a uniquely satisfying gameplay loop centered around both strategic offense and careful resource management. At the heart of the game is a compelling progression system that encourages players to evolve their mech over time by collecting items and crystals dropped by defeated enemies. These resources allow for leveling up and upgrading various aspects of the mech’s performance, such as weapon power, defense, and special abilities. Each playthrough is a test of survival and tactical decision-making, as players must weigh the benefits of different upgrades against the growing difficulty of the alien hordes. This rogue-lite element injects a sense of permanence and accomplishment into each session, making every victory feel earned and every defeat a learning opportunity. The game’s pacing expertly balances moments of intense combat with brief intervals for strategic upgrading, maintaining a steady rhythm that keeps players engaged. Visually, Project Lazarus opts for a realistic 3D aesthetic, offering immersive environments that emphasize the alien planet’s desolation and danger. While this choice adds depth and atmosphere, it can sometimes lead to moments where enemy models blend into the background, making it harder to quickly identify threats during chaotic battles. Some players have noted that clearer visual cues or more distinct enemy designs could improve clarity and responsiveness in the heat of combat. Despite this, the game’s dynamic and fast-paced action sequences manage to maintain excitement, as players continually adapt to evolving enemy patterns and environmental hazards. The community response to Project Lazarus has been notably positive, with many players appreciating the game’s originality and depth. The game’s price point is accessible, allowing a broad range of players to experience its mechanics without a significant investment. Additionally, Terapoly’s ongoing commitment to improving the game—such as adding cloud saves specifically tailored for Steam Deck users—demonstrates a responsive and player-focused approach to development. This active support not only enhances the user experience but also fosters a welcoming community around the game. In summary, Project Lazarus offers a refreshing and engaging experience within a niche genre, blending reverse bullet hell mechanics with the thrill of mech customization and rogue-lite progression. While some visual clarity improvements could enhance gameplay, the core design and satisfying upgrade systems make it a rewarding title for fans of strategic, action-packed games. Its combination of challenging combat, thoughtful progression, and developer dedication ensures it stands out as a noteworthy entry in the indie gaming landscape. Rating: 8/10

Having fun so far, would like more contrast on the mobs vs terrain and know the hot boxes better but still good.

Project Lazarus is a must-play for fans of rogue-lite and tower defense games. With 28.1 hours logged, I can say it’s definitely worth the $5.99 price (I got it for 60% off on June 30th, 2024). The dragon is awesome, and the simple leaderboard is a feature Vampire Survivors still lacks. The dev has said the game is "complete," and while there may be no new content, I still don’t regret the purchase — I’ll be playing for hours to come. If you love Vampire Survivors, you will love Project Lazarus! This game, along with Vampire Survivors, might be the first ones I ever complete all achievements for! Only issues: when I switched to exclusive mode, I had a minor display issue, and the UI could be zoomed in more — playing on my Steam Deck with a 65-inch TV is tough to read at times. Highly recommend! 👍 I would love a Project Lazarus 2 one day, but for now, I have lots of game play to enjoy.

A roguelite where you pilot a mech. Pretty good and fairly challanging.
