If you were like me, you were most likely thinking: "This game will feel like a chore", or "Vampire Survivor anime bait game" Which, I must admit that I was wrong. Not only is this game unique in art style but also in weapon combinations. You enter the game without knowing about the tons of enemies, bosses, weaponry, upgrades, and levels that await you. This game is a fantastic experience, which I never expected to even enjoy in the slightest. The only thing that troubles me is the stiffness in the animation department, the added paid content could have just been released as an update, but moderators gotta eat too, so I won't complain. It is clear why there is so much positive feedback for this game and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is either already a fan of bullet-hell games or rogue-like games, or is just starting in these game genres.

One of the best games of its genre. It still need some tweaks and I suspect that some important info were lost in translation, like what some weapon variants actually do and such. But over all this game is an example how it should be done: - every weapon and every character is different enough to make sense to have them separately. There is no recolored fireballs or character clones. - upgrades are meaningful. You have 4 weapons with 6 accessories slots and 3 buffs slots each and depending on buffs you choose you get vastly different final weapon form. All parts of it can be game changing, a single accessory might change gameplay style. Or you can opt for pushing numbers up instead and if you do it right it will work too. - Every map is different. In everything: different enemies with different abilities, different layout, different style, different map features - for example while most of the maps are infinite in every direction, one of them is actually quite small and has its opposite edges connected. And if you have weapon that shoot far enough and pierce enemies - you can shoot it to one side and get it come back to you from the other. And couple of weapons actually benefit from this greatly, you can actually make a build around that. - All bosses have different mechanics. For one you have to either outdamage its healing or clear the map from mobs to prevent that healing to be. And yes, it is possible, no matter what some other reviewers said. I actually did that on nightmare with more than one build. You have to find a way though, not every build will work. Not sure why anyone would want EVERY build to work against everything though. - Nightmare map difficulty is not just about more health and damage. Every map get new mechanics and different enemies composition. And last boss always get some new tricks too. - and if you decide that you want something even more different to fresh your experience - you can always go for a drink and get some mutators for the next run. Ranging from simple stats adjustment to completely different experience. Like, for example, becoming stationary but with greatly increased fire power.

On the surface, it's a very good VS-like with its own original visual style. The weapons are solid, Engravings allow you to customize each weapon differently for each run, and managing the colored Blessings allow you to choose how your weapon evolves. Each weapon has four available evolutions from your first run, with two more unlockable later on. The novelty of discovery drives replayability, as you test at least 20 weapon evolutions before unlocking anything. And the evolutions are crazy-powerful, the right one can wipe out every enemy on the screen for several minutes until the enemies get stronger. Some of the bosses can seem a bit unfair, like the first boss spawning a giant flaming rock on top of you with no warning. Your weapon shots can cover too much screen space, making it impossible to see whether you're walking into a lava lake or have a miniboss standing on your head. But these are almost expected of VS-likes. There are permanent meta-upgrades to drive your growth, additional weapons and characters to unlock, more maps, all the hallmarks of a VS-like. But as you get into it, things start to break down. You'll notice that each map is a fairly small repeating tile, there's no randomness, which makes all the landscapes very samey. Each map is exponentially harder than the one before, which requires grinding the meta-upgrades. You'd think unlocks would help as well. THIS CAN BE A MISTAKE. Adding a bad weapon (champagne cannon) to your weapon pool weakens you overall, and while you can disable bad evolutions (up to 2 per weapon but only after unlocking the 4th and 5th colors), I don't think you can disable weapons entirely. There are a lot of choices you can make that are either unclear or actively detrimental to you, and there's no way to know in advance. Some of the weapons are simply terrible (fireflies). Some of the engravings will cripple your weapon or change it unexpectedly (scattering on rusty scythe). Some of the evolutions are significant downgrades and the loss of power or area coverage could kill you immediately (blue marsh pets). And the descriptions of some evolutions make it seem like they should do things that they don't appear to be doing (yellow, mostly). You can mix drinks from looted ingredients to "change the rules of a run" but doing so basically makes it so that run doesn't count for progression--fortunately they tell you that in advance. I still recommend it, but with caveats. It nails the power fantasy and sheer spectacle, but can be obtuse at times. If you want to play VS but are disgusted by stolen sprites, this is a very strong alternative. Perhaps not the best on the market, but it's more than fair for its price tag.

This game is awesome in Steam Deck! Super optimized, much better than Vampire Survivors. Please the devs, work towards getting a Green Check on steam deck, it deserves it This game deserves more players... Please, contact Twitch streamers and throw them a few copies so this game can be more popular. It has the amazing game play and the charming art style to conquer the hearts of many more players! I love this game, TL;DR is a 8/10 right now. But it needs more content and more quality of life improvements - The art style is amazing, I love it. We need more! More skins, more pictures of the characters (for example, when getting a new level, unlock a picture or art) , and so on - The game is super fluid, no lag even in the biggest fights - Enemies are amazing, very nicely animated - Lots of visual effects - I love all the weapons. MORE!!!! What to improve - More tool tips for example when a weapon evolves, it should have a detailed description and maybe a small video showing the effects. But also, the stats, in this type of game, every small number counts. - The same with every blessing and weapon upgrade. For example, The light lance when it gets split upgrade, the light beams are shot a couple of meters, improving the weapon A LOT, and that is not described before selecting the upgrade. - You need to add weapons interactions (so you can get amazing bigger end game weapons), secret weapons and secret characters like in vampire survivors. - Put someone to work in a wiki in English or something, people hate being lost and not knowing what to do (for example, I have no idea how I unlocked the purple blessing, and I was mad until I did) - Add more things to the maps so we explore them. Maybe some secret, maybe some mini boss in an area with some loot, otherwise we don´t need to explore. - Please, bring some fan service of the girls... :P Thank you for the great game, please keep giving us more content!

One hell of a bullet heaven shooter to start this 2023. Visually intriguing, massively interesting and pretty unique weaponry that becomes shockingly powerful real quick, plenty of content from the start (unlike most titles like these that start with like a map and a few weapons), and even some lore, story and a hub to talk with characters, create potions, unlock cool stuff and so much more. It's definitely one of the more "complete" titles in this genre, and while it does not yet have the wide depth of Vampire Survivors (then again, what bullet heaven does?), I've rarely seen titles start this well. It's not without flaws, however. First off, there's some balancing that needs to be done with the difficulty. The first stage on normal difficulty is surprisingly easy with the right unlocks (eg. if you keep multiplying your attacks), but nigh impossible if you focus on the wrong upgrades. Also, there's quite a massive difficulty jump when going for the other maps or the Nightmare version of them. It's also pretty hard to become permanently stronger because unlocking characters, boosting stats, etc. requires a pretty high amount of credits. After 7-8 upgrades every one of them costs thousands, with each weapon-related unlock also costing like 2000 and most characters needing 5000 and beyond. Even with the daily challenges and such it's difficult to do more than a couple thousand coins in a run, so it can become a bit grindy. But I'm sure these things are merely tinkering with a couple numbers and shouldn't take ages to fix. Everything else about the game is addictive, polished and well-made, so I can recommend it wholeheartedly anyway. EDIT less than 24 hours later: A balancing patch already dropped that tweaked some of the balancing and payouts, making the unlocks and progression already less grindy. Already a good direction, excited about the game's future! Bullet Heaven Fandom review #33.
