under rated hidden gem in the modern age. rogue-alike meets extraction shooter with a comic aesthetic that actually looks like a traditional western comic book.

probably in my top 5 favorite games ever. it's bite-sized roguelite system shock 2, which also happens to be my favorite immersive sim, satisfying progression, think-on-your-feet style gameplay, all topped with a comic book artstyle. if you like the above mentioned genre, game, or design philosophy, this is an absolute smash hit that i just can't praise enough. blue manchu should be insanely proud of what they achieved.

I bought this game in 2019 and finished it in 2025. Despite only playing it for 20h and uninstalling it a few times I came back every now and then and finished it in the end. It's a unique game with a good sense of humor and great gameplay. I'll surely be playing it again at some point.

This one's a bit tricky to summarize. It's fun, well paced, unpredictably rewarding, and even offers moments of tension where you might lean towards your screen. The issue is that it's one of those games where the first 10 hours have a much better account for game play than the second half. I like what the latter half of the game has to offer but when you have a few jack-of-all-trades and an end-game health pool that won't let you die, you encounter the solution to this issue in the form of ridiculous compensation. Enemies that you'd never take on in your early game become the stock of the soup in the late game. They try to make up for this by making elite variants but these enemy types are just tougher and hit harder with a couple of minor tweaks to their attacks - nothing that changes your game plan though. I think that there's plenty here to give you as many hours to enjoy the game as US dollars it's asking for, which is a fair trade-off. But as soon as you figure out that upgrades and new weapons determine where the challenge moves, you'll find that the fun shifts with it. There's no point in returning to the stealth and tactical habits you learn at the beginning when run, gun, loot and heal becomes your bread and butter - and a repetitive recipe at that. This developer is great and I'll gladly hand them my money for some days of fun, but be warned that you'll probably develop your own opinions on the challenge curve once you start to actually kit yourself up. If I could change this game in some way, I wouldn't give health upgrades that dwarf enemy damage output so significantly, or add variants like radiation if the worst it'll do is pinch me before I eat the equivalent of a senzu bean back on my ship. The enemy variation DOES ask that you pick your weapon with more consideration than a wave of the hand, but - again, who cares if you can get most of your health back in one click of a button between missions anyway. TLDR; I like the depth of game play and I like that the game expects you to dive that depth to survive, but the band aids and shields they give you eventually become far too strong for their own good - pushing this from a game of tense scavenging and make or break combat to a game of simple decisions and upgrade overload hunting. If you're the kind of person that doesn't mind a late-game stagnation, then this is an easy buy. I can't help but think back on my time with this title fondly because it's a game that's fond of the player too. For me, I wouldn't say this comes close to one of my top 10 games, but it might be towards the bottom of my top 100. Looking forward to more of their work.
