14 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay offers a solid rogue-lite experience with innovative mechanics like hit point modifiers and extensive inventory management, blending bullet hell action with strategic build customization. While generally fresh and engaging, some players note a reverse difficulty curve and immersion breaks due to external interruptions. Overall, it provides a unique and flavorful iteration within its genre.
“Fantastic game, bringing so many different and interesting mechanics together.”
“The addition of the backpack mechanic, requiring you to manage your inventory every time you visit the shop and choose which items to arrange or combine for later visits, allows for many different combinations of the same build.”
“The merge between the bullet heaven gameplay and the backpack 'make your own build' gameplay is awesome.”
“While the core gameplay is solid and aligns well with current market trends, it suffers from a reverse difficulty curve.”
“I hit this point about 30 hours into early access and was a little disappointed... until I discovered a gameplay style that sets your hit points to 1 and gives you +300% damage.”
“Immersion was kind of broken when an external link opened to a Discord automatically during gameplay.”
