The music in the game is generally well-received, featuring a great soundtrack that enhances the overall experience. However, players have noted issues with audio settings, as dialogue remains at full volume regardless of adjustments made to music and sound effects.
“The game offers fun, satisfying visuals, a great soundtrack, and some good ideas to bring shmups into the modern era.”
“Even if you go through the settings and drop the master audio, FX audio, and music audio all the way down to 10, 5, and 5, the talking in the game will keep playing at 100%.”

Dogos is simply too limited for its own good.

At the end of the day, the core of DOGOS as fun and satisfying is dragged down by too many chains. The game offers fun, satisfying visuals, a great soundtrack, and some good ideas to bring SHMUPs into the modern era. Unfortunately, terrible storytelling, mediocre boss design, bugs, and usability issues really hold it back.
