  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are generally praised for their amazing art style and distinct enemy designs, contributing to an engaging visual experience. However, some reviewers feel that while the graphics are good, they lack the depth and variety found in other titles within the genre, leading to a less compelling overall presentation.

    • “This game is very hard but very addicting; it has an amazing art style and very catchy music.”
    • “Great graphics and soundtrack, distinct and interesting enemies, and challenging gameplay.”
    • “The graphics are pretty good; I have nothing else to comment on for that point.”
    • “This is like if you took Crimsonland, cut out about 70% of its content, and stuck whatever remained in a hip and modern, 'blocky' graphical style.”
    • “Where other twin-stick shooters are able to keep things interesting with more perks, enemies, and level ideas (e.g., Crimsonland) or graphics, or story (e.g., Alien Breed, Hatred), Hordelicious falls flat on its face by having nothing particular to offer.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music features catchy soundtracks that enhance the experience, but the limited variety leads to repetitive looping during lengthy gameplay sessions, which can become grating over time. While the music is initially enjoyable, its repetitiveness may detract from the overall experience, despite the game's strong graphics and challenging gameplay.

    • “This game is very hard but very addicting, it has an amazing art style and very catchy music.”
    • “Great graphics and soundtrack, distinct and interesting enemies, and challenging gameplay.”
    • “You might like the music the first time you hear it, but it will start to slowly drive you into madness once you've heard it for the 30th time, for another 20 minutes.”
    • “The soundtrack feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during long play sessions.”
    • “While the music tries to set a mood, it often falls flat and becomes forgettable, failing to enhance the overall experience.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a good sense of humor that adds fun to the experience, though some players feel it can be overused as a means to increase difficulty, detracting from the overall enjoyment.

    • “A fun yet tedious game that has a good sense of humor.”
    • “It is quite humorous at times, but it seems like a cheap method to make the game more difficult, when in the first place, it really isn't.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mix of enjoyment and tedium, often highlighting its humorous elements as a redeeming quality amidst the repetitive tasks.

  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in Hordelicious is criticized for being lackluster and unoriginal, failing to engage players compared to other twin-stick shooters that offer more compelling narratives and gameplay elements.

    • “Where other twin-stick shooters are able to keep things interesting with more perks, enemies, and level ideas (e.g., Crimsonland) or graphics, or story (e.g., Alien Breed, Hatred), Hordelicious falls flat on its face by having nothing particular to offer.”
    • “The story feels disjointed and lacks any real depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “Character development is almost non-existent, leaving players with a sense of detachment from the narrative.”
  • emotional
