  • Fast-paced, chaotic, and fun gameplay with satisfying gunplay and smooth combat mechanics.
  • Stylish and vibrant art style combining comic-like visuals with a unique and humorous hell-themed setting.
  • Engaging progression system with a meaningful skill tree, upgrades, and a charming companion mechanic adding depth and personality.
  • Performance and optimization issues causing frame rate drops and lag, even on high-end PCs, impacting smoothness.
  • Bugs and glitches including hit registration problems, enemy pathing issues, untracked challenges, and occasional game-breaking bugs.
  • Limited content and variety at the current Early Access stage, including few playable characters, repetitive runs due to perk and weapon variety constraints, and need for more polish in sound design and UI.

  • gameplay

    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 63% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally praised for its fast-paced, dynamic, and addictive core loop, with smooth shooting mechanics and strategic variety that keep runs engaging. However, some critics note issues such as lack of gun variety, unbalanced upgrades, clunky enemy pathing, bugs, and a need for deeper character and mechanic differentiation. Overall, it offers a solid and enjoyable experience with potential for further refinement and expanded content.

    • “I love how dynamic the gameplay feels and how quickly runs can escalate into chaos in a good way.”
    • “Gameplay revolves around tight, responsive shooting mechanics paired with a robust upgrade system.”
    • “The gameplay is fast, chaotic, and surprisingly strategic — every run feels different and keeps me on my toes.”
    • “The game is painfully true to an early access game, feels unpolished and needs a whole lot of cooking in the oven (8 to 10 months ain't remotely enough), poor optimization, bugs, mediocre gameplay.”
    • “That aside, the game lacks variety in guns and playstyle and its hero-shooter gameplay style made me feel burned out by the time I reached the first out of 7 bosses.”
    • “The actual problem, and why I'm rating this game a thumbs down, is that the gameplay feels like a worse version of better games.”

  • music

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    16% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The game's soundtrack is widely praised for its energy, intensity, and fitting metal/doom-inspired style that enhances the fast-paced gameplay. However, many users report audio issues such as inconsistent sound mixing, overly loud music without a dedicated volume slider, and bugs affecting music playback, which can detract from the experience. Despite these flaws, the music remains a strong highlight that significantly contributes to the game's atmosphere and player engagement.

    • “Music matches the beat of the game and each run is action packed.”
    • “From the first run it had me hooked — the fast-paced gameplay, the incredible soundtrack (seriously, it slaps), and the skill tree + level-up system between stages kept every run feeling rewarding.”
    • “[i]Soundtrack[/i] → absolutely incredible, adds so much energy to the game.”
    • “The very first readable word in-game has a typo, sound mixing is all over the place (the entire first boss doesn't have music and sounds like it's underwater), numerous bugs you will encounter on every single run.”
    • “First: the music is unnecessarily too loud, and there is no dedicated volume slider for it. This means that if you want less music, you must also lower the ambient sounds.”
    • “For example, the minigun sound is so poorly handled that it can interfere with other audio, sometimes even forcing the music to restart before its natural loop.”

  • graphics

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    16% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature a polished, comic-style art style reminiscent of Borderlands, blending whimsy and darkness that perfectly complements its tone. While visually appealing and distinctive, some users experienced high system requirements and occasional optimization issues. Overall, the unique and charming visuals are a strong draw alongside the engaging gameplay.

    • “The visuals are excellent, and the gunplay, overall design, and roguelike elements all feel polished and satisfying.”
    • “Brilliant shooter - Borderlands-style graphics - nice progression tree - love it!”
    • “The art style and the sound design feel like a mix of Borderlands (graphics) + Doom (music/level design).”
    • “The graphics don't seem to be too advanced for my GPU to handle, so the problem may lie within game optimization itself.”
    • “The only real issue with this game is the very high graphics requirements.”
    • “There was also some lag during the start of some levels, so I ended up turning my graphics to low/medium.”

  • optimization

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    Optimization for the game is generally criticized for being poor or inconsistent, with frequent reports of frame drops, stuttering, and performance issues even on high-end systems. While some improvements have been made since early access, the game still struggles with bugs and unstable performance in certain situations. Users note that optimization continues to be a work in progress, with occasional fixes and gradual enhancement, including better performance on platforms like the Steam Deck.

    • “Performance has improved compared to earlier builds, which is great to see, but there are still occasional FPS drops in certain situations.”
    • “Bought in early access, had some significant performance issues, saw similar complaints in the discussions then within a day or two those bugs were fixed.”
    • “Performance on Steam Deck has gotten much better and I'm sure will continue to improve.”
    • “The game feels unpolished and poorly optimized, resembling an early access title that needs significantly more development time (8 to 10 months is not enough).”
    • “Performance optimization is inconsistent, with occasional frame drops and stuttering even on mid-to-high-end systems.”
    • “Enemies aren't interesting to fight and performance is dire in places (in the 40s fps at 1440p with a 9900x3d + 4090 with DLSS on quality).”

  • humor

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor blends edgy, Borderlands-style wit with a playful, family-friendly tone, resulting in a refreshing and light-hearted charm that complements its fast-paced action and unique visual style. While sometimes overwhelming, the clever one-liners and quirky bugs add an entertaining layer that enhances the overall experience.

    • “The humor in Holy Shoot is a refreshing departure from the often grim tone of similar titles.”
    • “Even the fairy’s one-liners are unexpectedly funny and give the game a light-hearted charm.”
    • “The art style is playful yet polished, and the humor adds an extra layer of charm.”

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 24% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The story places players as elite warriors on a satirical divine mission, blending humor with engaging narrative elements. However, technical bugs such as quest tracking issues and level glitches often disrupt the experience, impacting immersion and progression. Despite these problems, the overall premise and tone are well-received and enjoyable for fans of similar games.

    • “Players assume the role of a warrior from the sanctum, an elite group on a mission to cleanse this infernal domain.”
    • “The narrative doesn’t take itself too seriously, embracing satire and irreverence that permeate through character interactions and environmental storytelling.”
    • “It really makes you feel like you're on a divine mission, dishing out holiness to every demon in sight.”
    • “First run the quests didn't track.”
    • “Second run quests didn't track and the hourglass slowed time for almost a minute and then when time returned to normal it was like quadruple speed.”
    • “Sometimes the mobs spawn is bugged and they spawn in the lava, making it sometimes hard to find them; the minigun breaking the game audio; the no jump quest given in scenarios where it is impossible to clear the room without jumping (because of the tiles); and lastly, at the 2nd world in the 4th room I fell into the map in two separate runs and had to restart because I could not return.”

  • stability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including bugs with weapons and challenges that impact gameplay. Despite some good visuals and music, poor optimization and frequent glitches detract from the overall experience, making it less appealing compared to other, more polished titles in the genre.

    • “Game is fun, but very buggy and poorly optimised even for early access.”
    • “Some decent ideas, but it's buggy like some weapons phase their bullets through enemies doing no damage, hitting the wall behind, and not really offering anything notable in the genre over older titles.”
    • “Challenges are buggy.”

  • replayability

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    Users feel that adding more diverse enemy patterns, playable characters, perks, and gear would significantly enhance the game's depth and replayability, emphasizing the importance of varied elements to keep restarts engaging.

    • “Needs more playable characters, elements, perks, and guns, but when it's all fleshed out it'll be a fantastic game.”
    • “Things to prioritize are making sure it has good replayability since it's all about restarting with different perks and gear.”
    • “More diverse enemy patterns and richer level designs would further enhance the gameplay depth and replayability.”
    • “More playable characters.”
    • “Needs more playable characters, elements, perks, and guns. When fully developed, it'll be a fantastic game.”
