DESYNC

“I'm not an expert, but it sounded like generic electronic music.”

“Just buy the soundtrack and play Doom instead.”

“On the other hand, I'd just grab the soundtrack from the artist's Bandcamp pages so you don't have to bother with this game.”

“This game has the worst aesthetics in a shooter I've played in a long time, and it's painful to even look at.”

“The graphics are certainly a looker but unfortunately they are too 'busy'; I can't play more than 20-30 minutes in a row until I just don't want to play any longer.”

“This game has the most nauseating art style I've ever experienced in my life; I managed four minutes before I had to alt + F4.”

“While the plot has a lack of story, what you need to do is fight your way through the enemies all the way to the end.”

“The game relies on going through rooms of enemies in a linear fashion instead of a story-like layout, but this is fine since it makes up for it with its very satisfying gameplay.”

“I would not recommend it to anybody who needs to 'git gud' or to anybody wanting any semblance of story whatsoever.”

“While it's certainly replayable (I know I went back and replayed some levels), it's simply rather short.”

“Last thought, there aren't a lot of levels and there is no multiplayer; there are score leaderboards and an alternate version for each level, which does not increase the replay value above zero; desync is cheap enough to make up for that.”

“The weapon upgrade system is mostly pointless and not well balanced and hitboxes are a little odd, but once you get past these problems you'll find a deep, complex singleplayer experience that rewards quick reflexes and thinking, has loads of replayability and is an absolute blast to play.”

“Nothing I've ever played has had quite the same kind of atmosphere.”

“Fast-paced, pretty hard, retro-futuristic atmosphere game.”

“+ excellent atmosphere”

“By the end of my time with you, it felt like more of a chore rather than something I genuinely enjoyed, with gameplay being tedious to the point where I just wanted it to be over.”

“Not particularly interesting and super grindy when you get a one-shot enemy at wave 7 and have to start at wave 1.”

“However, all too often the game presents situations that are challenging in ways that are tedious and unfun, where the satisfaction of finishing isn't so much a sense of accomplishment as it is a sensation of 'glad I don't have to do that again.'”

“All I can ask for is a few more optimization options for low-spec systems.”

“It's always important to point out games with horrid optimization for those with lesser rigs.”

“Needs optimization for 2K monitors, as on mine it had black bars and looked weird.”

“If the devs added better instruction (or any instruction), got rid of most or all of the purposeful visual glitches, made movement something more in depth than simply 'dash often', added better audio cues for keeping track of enemies, diversified enemy tactics and AI, and improved some of their arena designs, it could be a very unique and fun game; unfortunately, as it stands now, the devs seem to be willing to hide bad design decisions behind the cop-out of being an intentionally 'difficult' (read: frustrating) game.”

“Love flickering glitches and effects that make your eyes go brr?”

“Truth be told, it's clear this game has been patched a lot since its original release in 2017, showing some commendable care and dedication from the devs. However, the graphical effects and glitches aren't as noticeable as the things I saw in old videos now, everything plays smooth and silky, and each enemy tends to have its distinct movement and attack patterns.”
