  • story
    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While the initial phases of the story mode are described as challenging and rich in character dialogue, some reviewers note a lack of gameplay depth and upgrades. Overall, there is a strong anticipation for future updates and expansions to the story mode, which is currently in early access.

    • “Has a good tutorial and the premise of the story is absolutely engaging.”
    • “Story mode is just in its first phase and let me tell you, 1-7 is tough but I enjoyed the plot, all the different level designs of the different parts of the prisons and the cut scenes as they definitely develop a rough-around-the-edges-but-unified dialogue among the characters and invoke the sort of community effort we need to see more of in the world today.”
    • “With the attention to detail and love that the developers clearly put into the game, I can't wait to see what the developers come up with next, including the story mode and additional levels, bosses, mechanics...”
    • “The 'story mode' is really lacking in gameplay, very few upgrades, just the same dude beating everyone up.”
    • “My biggest worry is that the story will just be a wall of text stuck between arena fights.”
    • “As the game stands on March 7th, 2023, there is only an arcade mode and story-based tutorial with this early access release.”
  • gameplay
    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this retro platform brawler is praised for its depth, innovative mechanics, and well-designed enemy AI, creating a challenging yet fair experience. Players appreciate the balance between melee and ranged combat, which enhances the gameplay loop, while the arcade mode offers a rogue-lite experience with endless arenas. However, the story mode is criticized for its lack of gameplay variety and upgrades, leaving players eager for future improvements and expansions.

    • “Absolutely rock-hard retro platform brawler game with tons of smart mechanics and some of the best enemy AI I've ever seen in a game of this type.”
    • “I'm particularly fond of the mechanic where killing enemies with melee gives ammo while killing enemies with ranged attacks gives health; it's really well balanced, especially in the brawler sections.”
    • “The gameplay loop in itself is natural and organic, and the enemy AI is both simplistic as well as challenging.”
    • “The 'story mode' is really lacking in gameplay, very few upgrades, just the same dude beating everyone up.”
    • “It looks and plays just like a bargain bin title that somehow gained cult status despite its obvious gameplay limitations.”
    • “Although I'm not sure how similar it will be to the announced story mode, you'll at least get a feel for the gameplay, which is a little bit too frantic for me.”
  • music
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its upbeat and engaging chip tune soundtrack, which complements the fast-paced gameplay and enhances the overall experience.

The 8-bit style and variety in musical themes across different arenas contribute to a vibrant and enjoyable atmosphere.

    • “Arcade mode is like instant fun and with some cool upgrades, solid combat, cool partner abilities, good music with a nice pace that keeps you going as long as you can.”

    • “The art and the music are fantastic.”
    • “Music reminds me of rogue sentry.”
    • “Each arena is randomized, with different scenarios, music, enemies... and the difficulty level ramps up quickly, making each new arena more challenging!”

  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their mesmerizing retro aesthetic, showcasing great sprite visuals that enhance the overall experience.

Overall, the unique visual presentation aligns well with the game's anti-capitalist theme, contributing to a compelling platforming experience.

    • “In what I've played, I've noticed an excellent learning curve, a mesmerizing retro aesthetic, a game pampered to the detail (only 2 developers, really?) and, ultimately, a desire to keep playing, which is my goal when starting any video game.”
    • “This captures the retro aesthetic perfectly!”
    • “Great sprite visuals.”
    • “Even if it comes in retro aesthetics, the gameplay is anything but retro.”

  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some sections can feel tedious and boring, particularly in platforming challenges, the overall combat design encourages strategic engagement rather than mindless repetition. Many reviewers appreciate the synergy between enemies, likening it to puzzle-solving in boomer shooters, which enhances the gameplay experience.

    • “There are some moments where I disagree with the design and feel it can be a bit tedious, namely that one platforming section with the lasers and wall turrets, which is not difficult, it's just boring.”
    • “This leads to a nice enemy synergy like you see in boomer shooters and such, where dealing with intense combat can become like a puzzle instead of mindless grinding.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players consistently highlight the emotional aspect of the game as a fun and wholesome experience, emphasizing its ability to evoke positive feelings and joy.
