  • gameplay40 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, with some players praising its fast-paced, action-packed mechanics and unique character upgrades, while others criticize the floaty controls, visual clutter, and lack of polish that hinder the overall experience. Many reviews highlight the game's potential fun factor, especially for fans of the top-down shooter genre, but note that frustrating mechanics and design choices can detract from enjoyment. Overall, while the game offers interesting mechanics and a visually appealing style, it struggles with execution and consistency in gameplay quality.

    • “The mechanics are fantastic and the art style level designs were creative.”
    • “Great gameplay, fun and action packed.”
    • “Very enjoyable, solid gameplay and nice soundtrack.”
    • “It merely makes traversing the level a pain; little did I know that it would be the last time the game would ever be kind in its mechanics or design.”
    • “The controls are floaty, sluggish, and a bit clunky, not precise enough for this sort of gameplay. The graphics and level design lead to visual clutter, and nearly nothing about the world or the motivation of characters is explained. The characters are all one-dimensional and basically just walking clichés.”
    • “I died so many times on the first level (Purgatory) from just ridiculous reasons (bad enemy placement in game-mechanic tutorials, horrendous level prop placement, bogged down combat by making enemy encounters mostly room-isolated strategy fights) that I actually gave up on this game.”
  • story35 mentions

    The story in the game is generally viewed as shallow and forgettable, often described as a mere backdrop to the gameplay rather than a compelling narrative. While some players appreciate the corny charm and character re-imaginings, many criticize the writing and voice acting as poor, with several reviewers suggesting that the story can be safely skipped. Overall, the plot is seen as simplistic and lacking depth, failing to enhance the gaming experience significantly.

    • “A corny but enjoyable storyline with some cool character re-imaginings.”
    • “The story idea is a neat idea.”
    • “Story-wise, it is a cheesy game about an angel and devil teaming up to stop the horsemen of the apocalypse.”
    • “The story is even shallower than in a porn movie; it's just slapped on to somehow justify the action.”
    • “The plot is... not worth mentioning honestly.”
    • “The story is nonexistent; the environments look like playdough. Is there even a soundtrack?”
  • music24 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many praising the soundtrack as "awesome" and a highlight of the experience, while others feel it doesn't fit the game's style or is overshadowed by gameplay issues. Some players appreciate the variety and quality of the music, noting it enhances the overall atmosphere, while a few express disappointment, comparing it unfavorably to other titles. Overall, the soundtrack is generally regarded as a strong point, contributing positively to the game's appeal.

    • “Great game and one of the best soundtracks.”
    • “The game OST is amazing.”
    • “Yeah, it's Hotline Miami with angels and demons, but pretty much the whole package works - cool graphics, great soundtrack, extremely cool gunfight sessions, and getting the combos necessary to S-rank stuff feels really good.”
    • “The music is not that good, and it doesn't fit with the game style. I was expecting something similar to the trailer music.”
    • “The story is nonexistent, the environments look like playdough. Is there even a soundtrack?”
    • “It’s an okay game with a decent soundtrack, but the boss fights and technical issues keep me from recommending it.”
  • graphics23 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the unique and stylish art design, vibrant visuals, and decent overall quality, while others criticize them for being cluttered or lacking polish. Many players appreciate the graphical flair and how it complements the gameplay and soundtrack, but there are also mentions of bad voice acting and writing detracting from the overall experience. Overall, the graphics are seen as a strong point for some, but not universally acclaimed.

    • “Unique art style.”
    • “Such polish, presentation, graphics and world-building offers immense entertainment.”
    • “The graphical design, while not everyone’s cup of tea, is very stylish and bright.”
    • “The controls are floaty, sluggish, and a bit clunky and not precise enough for this sort of gameplay. The graphics and level design, in my opinion, lead to visual clutter. Nearly nothing about the world or the motivation of characters is explained, and the characters are all one-dimensional and basically just walking clichés.”
    • “Bad voice acting, bad writing, bad graphics, and, worst of all, bad controls.”
    • “Voice acting is bad and graphics aren't great but good enough to get the job done.”
  • stability6 mentions

    The game's stability is marred by poor netcode and frequent glitches, particularly affecting the multiplayer experience, making it frustrating during boss fights and overall gameplay. While it is not completely broken, the presence of these issues significantly detracts from the enjoyment, leading to a mixed reception regarding its stability.

    • “Most of the game is also decent as a co-op experience, but poor netcode and weird glitches here and there make it a bad experience.”
    • “It might be tolerable if lag and glitches weren't something you have to take into account every so often.”
    • “The game looks fun enough, but is riddled with glitches that make it literally unplayable online.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, with complaints about poor art quality and problematic enemy mechanics that detract from the experience. Additionally, certain boss fights are noted as particularly unenjoyable, contributing to an overall sense of monotony.

    • “I can't believe I only played 1 hour of this game, and I feel it has been so tedious.”
    • “Cons: Art-wise, this game doesn't look that great. Enemies' attacks can occur before their animation starts, and they can shoot/attack in directions 180 degrees behind them when they shouldn't be able to. Two of the boss fights (not going to say which so as to not spoil) are tedious and frankly were not fun.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    While the levels in the game offer high replayability, with some players completing them over ten times, the limited variety in character abilities tends to discourage experimentation and repeated playthroughs.

    • “Most of the levels are highly replayable; I have already finished some of them 10+ times.”
    • “The available abilities for both characters are usable, but they don't encourage replayability. I always found myself using the same ones for the most part.”
    • “After completing the game once, I didn't feel motivated to play again. The story and gameplay didn't change enough to warrant a second playthrough.”
    • “While there are multiple paths to take, the lack of significant differences in outcomes makes replaying the game feel redundant.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is criticized for its boring storytelling, which fails to engage players on a deeper level.

    • “The story was incredibly boring and failed to evoke any emotional response.”
    • “I found the storytelling to be dull and lacking in emotional depth.”
    • “The narrative was so unengaging that it left me feeling indifferent.”
  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is appreciated for its campy style, but some players feel that it may not be fully supported by the gameplay, suggesting a disconnect that could benefit from further refinement.

  • optimization1 mentions

    The optimization of the game is praised for its excellent sound design, which performs flawlessly without any issues.

    • “The sound design is very well done and its performance is faultless.”
