  • story17 mentions

    The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it compelling and engaging, particularly in its exploration of a dark conspiracy, while others criticize it as simplistic, lacking depth, and almost non-existent. Many feel that the missions feel pointless due to the weak narrative, and the absence of voice acting and character development detracts from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, some players appreciate the gameplay mechanics and replayability, suggesting that the combat can overshadow the story elements.

    • “The storyline, centered around the evil Zagreus and his fanatical cultists, is compelling enough to keep you engaged.”
    • “Each mission uncovers more of the dark conspiracy, progressively bringing you closer to the ultimate threat to humanity.”
    • “There is a little story, but combat is so engaging that it's hard to keep up with it, at least when playing the mission for the first time.”
    • “The story is meaningless and it looks and plays like a game from 2007.”
    • “The plot seemed to me a bit simple and ridiculous.”
    • “While the graphics and sound design are good, and there is no storyline at all, some may find the gameplay occasionally repetitive.”
  • gameplay14 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by intense, action-packed combat that encourages players to engage with hordes of enemies, featuring interesting mechanics like gliding and teleportation. However, it suffers from repetitiveness and occasional visibility issues with opponents blending into the environment, which can detract from the experience. While the graphics and sound design are praised, the overall gameplay may feel uninspired to some, appealing mainly to those seeking a straightforward hack-and-slash experience.

    • “The gameplay is intense and action-packed, encouraging players to mow down hordes of enemies without hesitation.”
    • “While it has some repetitive elements, the overall gameplay is satisfying.”
    • “The game has interesting mechanics for controlling the main character - glide and especially teleportation.”
    • “Another problem is the gameplay loop.”
    • “But sometimes you can’t distinguish opponents on the screen; they blend into the environment and this spoils the gameplay.”
    • “I didn't encounter any bugs or glitches, but the gameplay is just very repetitive and uninspiring.”
  • graphics11 mentions

    The game's graphics receive mixed reviews, with many praising its unique art style reminiscent of Borderlands, while others criticize the visuals for appearing outdated, especially at lower settings. Some players appreciate the overall aesthetic and weapon feel, but frustrations arise from blending issues and a lack of modern graphical fidelity. Overall, the graphics are seen as a highlight for some, but a significant drawback for others.

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting severe performance issues, including low frame rates, stuttering, and crashes, particularly on high-end hardware. However, some users have experienced smooth gameplay without significant problems, suggesting that performance may vary based on individual setups. Overall, the game's optimization appears to be inconsistent, with a need for improvements to enhance the experience for a broader audience.

    • “If they can fix the performance, it's easily a fun little indie title worth a weekend with friends.”
    • “I've only played the tutorial and first mission, but from what I've experienced so far, I have not encountered any janky or performance issues. If anything, it plays really well on my 1440p monitor, and I'm getting about 120-144Hz in-game using my Intel Arc A770 16GB on max settings.”
    • “The problems are that performance is catastrophically bad.”
    • “We're talking 60fps on a 3080, stuttering, and crashes galore.”
    • “The camera whips around during reloads and from shooting even the smallest of guns, which only exacerbates the stuttering problem tenfold.”
  • music3 mentions

    The game's soundtrack is described as enjoyable and fitting, enhancing the chaotic gameplay experience with a charming techno vibe. While it may have a budget feel, the music complements the fast-paced action and adds to the overall appeal.

    • “It has a nice soundtrack.”
    • “It screams 'budget' at you constantly but at the same time the act of running around, jumping and floating while shooting guns at a load of enemies while darting across parts of the map at super speed to just drink the blood of some random guy shooting at you to recover health and make you stronger to then jump straight into a pack of enemies to do it again while techno music plays in the background... there's a charm to it that I honestly can't deny.”
    • “Love the music, by the way! <3”
    • “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during gameplay.”
    • “The soundtrack is forgettable and doesn't enhance the overall experience of the game.”
    • “The background music is so generic that it often fades into the background, failing to create any memorable moments.”

    Players appreciate the game's replayability, noting that the inclusion of a challenge system enhances the experience by providing additional content and rewards. However, there is a desire for more content to be added in the future to sustain long-term engagement.

    • “Overall, this is a nice game. I can see myself playing for a while, especially if the replayability aspect and more content are added in the future.”
    • “There's also a challenge system, which I find great because it adds more replayability and rewards you with in-game currency and mod currency based on what you complete.”

    • “The game lacks significant replayability, making it hard to stay engaged after the initial playthrough.”
    • “Once you complete the game, there isn't much incentive to go back and play again, which really hurts its replayability.”
  • atmosphere1 mentions

    • “The sound design is effective, complementing the action and enhancing the overall atmosphere.”
  • humor1 mentions

  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find that while the eleven missions provide a solid foundation, the slow progression in leveling up characters and upgrading weapons leads to significant grinding, making it a time-consuming endeavor to unlock all content.

    • “Eleven missions is a decent amount to chew on, but the rate of progression for leveling up your character and upgrading your guns is extremely slow, so you'll be grinding it out trying to unlock everything for a while.”
    • “The grinding in this game feels endless; it takes far too long to earn the rewards that should come from completing missions.”
    • “I find myself repeating the same tasks over and over just to make any progress, which makes the game feel more like a chore than fun.”
