  • gameplay
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is widely praised for its addictive and engaging mechanics, offering a variety of styles and in-depth build/upgrade features that keep players returning. While the controls and UI elements have received some criticism for being clunky, the overall experience is described as fun, fast-paced, and rewarding, with many players appreciating the absence of microtransactions. However, some technical issues, such as aiming delays and random pauses, have been noted, suggesting room for improvement in future updates.

    • “Probably one of the best ones I've played in a while; definitely quite the addictive gameplay loop.”
    • “Let alone one where you actually play, rather than those idle clicker games that are all too common these days... the gameplay is exciting, the build/upgrade feature is in-depth, and offers a variety of gameplay styles.”
    • “Fantastic, rewarding gameplay with no microtransactions in sight.”
    • “Premium version removes ads but still incorporates the 'free' model in gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay problems, aiming manually takes 1-2 seconds to actually go in the direction aimed.”
    • “Either increase the dead zone of the left joystick or add an option to fix joystick position to help improve the gameplay experience.”
  • monetization
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the removal of ads and microtransactions in the premium version, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay. However, some users express disappointment that the premium version lacks certain benefits available in the free version, such as the ability to watch ads for revives and upgrades, leading to a perception that it is a downgrade rather than an enhancement. Overall, while the absence of ads is praised, players desire more content and options that were present in the free version.

    • “Full version of the game appears to have no ads or microtransactions, which is excellent.”
    • “Solid experience, quite replayable if you want to get all achievements, no pay-to-win, no ads, just pure fun of bullet hell madness.”
    • “So much fun, no microtransactions, only gameplay unlocks and endless replayability.”
    • “The premium version removes ads but still incorporates the 'free' model in gameplay.”
    • “While the game is great, they refuse to add more content for the premium version because it's more profitable to add content on the free version so people can buy things individually and get ads while they're at it.”
    • “The paid version doesn't have perks of watching ads that would revive you and provide a boost in skills at the start of the game, unlike the free version.”
  • graphics
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their cool aesthetic and thematic consistency, featuring a charming dark pixel art style that enhances gameplay without overwhelming the player. While some users noted a lack of variety in enemy and environmental designs, the visuals are generally considered clean and effective, making it easy to track characters amidst chaotic action. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the engaging and replayable experience, with many players appreciating the satisfying visual feedback during gameplay.

    • “Multitudes more engaging than any other I've played, as well as having a dark but charming art style which I love.”
    • “The graphics are effective without being smothering, which is a huge help when the screen gets busy. The weapons and characters all feel unique, and the upgrades are meaningful and varied.”
    • “The beautiful pixel art style works wonders; the gameplay loop is fun, and this game was worth every dollar.”
    • “Plays like a twin stick shooter with minimal serviceable graphics.”
    • “Boasts of high amount of content but everything is just like the visuals: samey, monotone, and repetitive.”
    • “This game is pretty boring.. the art style is bland.”
  • replayability
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is a mixed bag, with some players praising its variety of builds, characters, and upgrades that enhance replay value, while others feel it lacks sufficient content and modes to keep them engaged long-term. Frequent updates and a challenging difficulty level contribute positively to replayability for some, but many users express a desire for additional game modes and features to further enrich the experience. Overall, while there are elements that support replayability, the consensus indicates that improvements are needed to fully realize its potential.

    • “The aiming aspect makes this a much fresher and interactive version of the recent trend of top-down roguelite survival games, and the dark aesthetic along with the pick-up-and-play design and replayability make this a must-have for those looking for a fun game to pass the time with. The constant updates also keep adding to the replayability, fantastic work!”
    • “Really fun game, lots of replay value with different builds, characters, upgrades, runes, etc. I really wish some guns and characters were changed to be a bit better, and I hope for more consistent updates. I wish there were more game modes besides endless and normal, such as a boss rush, but other than that, really fun game.”
    • “Fantastic game with incredible replay value and a great aesthetic.”
    • “The replayability is lacking though, would love to see a scaling darkness level, endless mode, boss rush, or something of that nature to mix it up.”
    • “There's just a lack of replayability, it's fun but there's not enough to keep me going for long, overall it's a good game.”
    • “Overall really good, but the game lacks replayability.”
  • stability
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous players reporting frequent freezes, crashes, and game-altering glitches that hinder gameplay. Issues such as being unable to apply upgrades, getting knocked out of the map, and persistent bugs across different platforms (especially on mobile) have led to frustration among users. While the game is praised for its fun mechanics and synergies, the stability problems make it nearly unplayable for many, particularly after recent updates.

    • “It's a fun game and I love it, but honestly it's been annoying with this update because certain upgrades won't allow me to pick them, which I constantly have to reselect, and it doesn't even go through. Then every time I kill the second main boss and pick up the boss upgrade, it freezes the game. Additionally, every time I start a new game, it bugs out and I can't kill all enemies because they are unable to die, or I could just sit in a huge group of enemies and not take any damage.”
    • “Despite the interesting and fun synergies you can make with characters, talents, guns, and skills, the glitches prevent me from really recommending this game to anyone.”
    • “The glitches make it almost impossible to play normally.”
  • optimization
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the optimization of the game has received mixed reviews. While some players report smooth performance even on lower-end devices, others experience significant stuttering and lag, particularly on higher-end phones. There are ongoing updates aimed at improving performance, but issues persist, especially with late-game content and the absence of certain modes on mobile.

    • “I've given it a few runs and it actually plays well with two virtual analogue sticks, runs smoothly and doesn't chug that much battery life.”
    • “Performance has also been perfect on my fairly low-end phone (Galaxy A23).”
    • “Very good, polished and optimized gameplay.”
    • “But gonna need better optimization late game.”
    • “I don't understand why the free version performs better than the paid version.”
    • “It's fun; however, there seem to be quite a bit of performance issues and stuttering, and I feel as though I shouldn't have those issues on an S22 Ultra.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players appreciate the music and sound design, highlighting its quality and contribution to the game's atmosphere. However, there are repeated requests for higher quality background music, a larger variety of soundtracks, and improvements in headphone audio. Additionally, suggestions for more diverse musical elements and enhancements to the overall audio experience have been made.

    • “Wonderful music and art style as well.”
    • “Awesome sounds and music.”
    • “I like the gameplay loop but I would really love some new maps and music.”
    • “My only suggestions are to make the background music higher quality and to add more soundtracks, as well as improve the headphone music quality.”
    • “Please add a larger soundtrack and a variety of enemies.”
    • “I like the gameplay loop, but I would really love some new maps and music.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many players expressing disappointment over the complete lack of narrative or progression, describing it as having "zero" story and no meaningful ending. While the gameplay is appreciated, reviewers feel that the addition of quests or a storyline would significantly enhance the experience.

    • “I just wish there was even a story to the game, a little.”
    • “Initially rated this game 5 stars; however, the initial positive review got completely destroyed by the game purpose. There is none. This game has no story at all. I mean zero, nothing happens, there is no ending.”
    • “No levels, no story, no ending.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally appreciate the grinding aspect of the game, viewing it as a means to enhance their control and upgrade their characters rather than a tedious chore. Many enjoy the process of farming for cosmetics and achievements, indicating that grinding contributes positively to their overall experience.

    • “It's not about the roguelike; it's about the upgrade. It's not the grinding that matters, but the power of control.”
    • “That said, I've cleared Darkness 15 on everyone, with every weapon, have every achievement, and am just farming cosmetics at this point.”
    • “Grinding to get bullets and floor skins...”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by amusing glitches, such as Abby's "1000 knives" ability, which not only adds a comedic element but also enhances gameplay enjoyment. Players find the absurdity of her abilities, like running at full speed while using her special, and the exaggerated effects during boss fights to be genuinely funny, contributing to a lighthearted gaming experience.

    • “Thanks to the reviewer who posted about the 'glitch' with Abby getting stuck in her special ability with '1000 knives'—replicating it was the first thing that made me interested in unlocking her. I found that between being able to run at full speed without haste during her special ability, the upgrade that doubles her firing rate, and the ritual, she can actually be fun to play on mobile and the effect is hilarious.”
    • “Lightning infinite go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr kinda funny; there is a copycat here somewhere.”
    • “Bosses are hilarious to melt.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the game's controls, noting that skill selection is automatic and unresponsive, which detracts from their emotional engagement and overall experience.
