  • Fun action with solid controls and enjoyable gameplay, reminiscent of Binding of Isaac.

  • Visually appealing with smooth animations and a decent soundtrack, providing a satisfying experience.
  • Lacks content and variety, feeling repetitive with limited enemy types and room designs.
  • Performance issues such as lag and crashes, especially during intense action sequences.

  • gameplay
    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its fun and engaging mechanics, drawing comparisons to titles like "Binding of Isaac" and "Rogue Legacy" with its roguelite elements, smooth controls, and procedural generation. However, some players noted issues such as a lack of personality in characters and environments, as well as occasional clunky gameplay that can diminish motivation to continue playing. Overall, the game offers a solid experience with interesting collectibles, upgrades, and a fair difficulty balance, making it enjoyable despite some minor drawbacks.

    • “Interesting collectables/upgrades, different difficulty modes, and frantic gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay and the engine are solid, the levels are procedurally generated (which I love), the progression is fair, the music is cool and the game in general is fun.”
    • “Gameplay is really well put together and the difficulty balance seems fair.”
    • “It has many of the same problems faced by spaceship looters (a lack of personality, non-engaging characters/environment/enemy design, clunky gameplay) so any motivation to keep playing soon dissolves and makes me want to play the three aforementioned games.”
    • “In fact, it took me an entire hour and a half of gameplay before I was even able to complete a single easy run.”
    • “Gameplay is a bit like a multi-directional Binding of Isaac, but with progression elements similar to Rogue Legacy; firmly placing this game in the roguelite category.”
  • graphics
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally described as crisp and visually appealing, with detailed environmental elements and satisfying effects. However, some reviewers note that the art style lacks uniqueness and can feel lifeless at times. Additionally, the absence of customizable graphics options is a significant drawback.

    • “Crisp graphics and satisfying explosions.”
    • “The environmental graphics are really detailed and there are interactable objects all around.”
    • “Controls are nice, visuals are cool, enemy design is good.”
    • “Feral Fury could definitely improve on its art design, sound, and artwork design.”
    • “It's far too slow-paced for my liking, and the graphics are kind of lifeless.”
    • “There are no graphics options whatsoever, including no ability to set resolution or windowed/full-screen mode from the game UI (Alt-Enter doesn't work either).”
  • music
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its upbeat and fitting style for the fast-paced action. However, several users noted that the soundtrack becomes repetitive over time, leading some to lower the volume to avoid fatigue. Suggestions for improvement include adding more variety to the tracks to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The gameplay and the engine are solid, the levels are procedurally generated (which I love), the progression is fair, the music is cool and the game in general is fun.”
    • “Great little rogue-like, controls are sharp, ambiance and soundtrack are nice.”
    • “Music is a bit dull and gets very repetitive after a few games.”
    • “The soundtrack is perhaps a bit too cheery for what the game is, but it just underlines the deceptive nature of the game.”
    • “The music fits in for the fast-paced action presented, but it just loops and loops and loops... after playing the first chapter a few times, I found myself turning the music down to avoid getting a headache.”
  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Feral Fury" is minimal and straightforward, centering on a futuristic panda armed with weapons who battles various creatures to escape levels and ultimately take over planets for bamboo cultivation. While the game features randomly generated levels grouped into five chapters, many players feel the narrative lacks depth and clarity, often leaving them unsure of its elements. Overall, the plot serves primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a compelling narrative experience.

    • “I originally had no idea the game was about pandas invading a world full of hellhogs, but that's the story.”
    • “The story mode challenges you to make your way through the randomly generated levels, grouped into five chapters.”
    • “In Feral Fury, you play a futuristic panda (yes, a panda), armed to the teeth with weapons with which you fight other creatures in your quest to take over planets for bamboo growing.”
    • “Luckily it's short; I guess it's supposed to connect the story, but I'm not feeling this part.”
    • “Only real critique is the total absence of story, but it's no biggie.”
    • “With no tutorial or instructions, either, I'm still not entirely sure what some of the game elements do or mean in terms of the story.”
  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game appears to be inconsistent among players; while some report smooth performance without issues, others experience frequent crashes and significant lag, particularly during extended play sessions and explosive events. This disparity suggests that performance may vary based on individual hardware and play conditions.

    • “I haven't seen any slowdowns or other performance issues.”
    • “In the short amount of time I've played this game, all I've had is nothing but crashes and performance issues, especially around explosions.”
    • “Edit: Still getting performance issues, and it seems that when I have long sessions, the game gets super laggy.”
    • “I know – I know performance will differ from person to person.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report a stable experience with the game, particularly on Linux, with developers actively addressing previous issues such as buffer problems. The game's performance is praised, contributing to a positive gameplay experience.

    • “Runs great on Linux, highly recommended.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers significant replayability through daily runs, randomized level setups, and a variety of power-ups and weapons, encouraging players to return for new experiences.

    • “The game offers significant replay value with daily runs, randomized level setups, and a plethora of power-ups and weapons.”
    • “The game features daily runs and randomized level designs, ensuring that each playthrough feels fresh and exciting.”
    • “With a variety of power-ups and weapons, the game encourages players to return for new experiences every time.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that grinding in the game can be mitigated by the option to purchase upgrades outside of gameplay, allowing for a more streamlined experience. This feature has received mixed reactions, as it can reduce the time spent grinding but may also impact the game's balance and challenge.

  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is noted for its darker tone, drawing comparisons to "Enter the Gungeon" while offering a more somber and intense experience.

    • “The game is similar to Enter the Gungeon but has a darker atmosphere.”
