This is one of, if not the greatest, top-down shooters ever made. It looks simple, but has such opportunity for complexity, replayability, and very high skill ceiling. Play this and lose track of time with me!

Incredibly addictive gameplay, in one of the best top-down shooters ever released, PERIOD. Rich and complex skill-tree, and the ability to unlock and customise everything from combat modules (skills), guns, initial loadout and equipment. There are eight playable subclasses, and it plays a little like a roguelite with procedurally generated maps and encounters that never seem to end in variety. Each class has a LOOOONG progression arc, meaning you’ll be unlocking new content even at thirty or forty hours in. I’m truly astounded by just how rich and complex the gameplay is. It runs awesome on the SteamDeck, and if you’re a PC user you definitely have an advantage with an external controller over keyboard. There is a sequel game, Synthetik 2 that’s been in early access for over five years. Skip that entirely and play the original. It’s fully complete, has good support for multiplayer, and your character/achievement unlocks are transferable to the FREE Syntheik:Arena game. You definitely have an advantage by playing Legion Rising first, and levelling up. Full disclaimer: You will find this very addictive - its fast become one of my favourite ways to kill five or ten minutes in a session. You will rage scream when getting slaughtered over and over and over again, dying in brutal hails of gunfire or fiery infernos. And Doombots? Thermonuclear explosions that even the fastest legs can’t run away from fast enough. I *hate* those Doombots. You will too.

Only 7,4% of the players have an achievement for beating final encounter (at any difficulty). I myself got it only after 50 hours, when I tried every class, started understanding what's good for my specific setup, when to get greedy and when to remain cautious. This game wants you to be punished for being too comfortable or not paying attention. This game also wants to reward you for paying attention, figuring out interactions and generally doing a good job. This doesn't mean that Synthetik will be fair. It will be unfair, you won't see weapon crate for 4 floors because RNG decided so, and will need to make do with starting pistol, it will not give you upgrade shops when you capped scrap and full item loadout and only need upgrades if RNG decided so. It will make sure that if you accidentally hugged corner and shot explosive gun point blank, you leanr that this was run-ending mistake. But then you'll get it. You'll start hitting perfect active reload every time. You'll start anticipating jamming and unjam your gun before you brain fully register that dreadful ping. You'll learn to accept death not as "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RNG", but as a mistake that you won't make next time. And then you'll decapitate yourself with Ripjaw's sawblade that ricocheted right at you when you decide to try it out for the first time. You'll reach catharsis and just start going with it, vibing with awesome soundtrack, listening to the great sound design, enjoying death and destruction you bring upon the Legion. I have no closing words for this review, besides Yoko-Lagann having the most satisfying, incredibly crisp and powerful firing sound, that is only rivaled by Nemesis.

This game is really, really fun. I also sort of suck at it haha. So far, I've played enough to get four classes to level 25, and prestige three of them... but I've still yet to beat the final boss even once. That being said... the gameplay loop is just freaking fun. There's a great amount of class variety and gameplay, and the gunplay feels utterly fantastic. Mix that with the massive variety of weapons and items and you get a phenomenal experience. Edit: Just finished my first final boss kill, along with the final enemy rush chamber. Managed to get the achievement for getting five rooms into loop as well. Yeah, my opinion has not changed. This game is a blast.
