  • Fun and engaging gameplay, especially enjoyable with friends, making it a great party game.
  • Diverse characters with unique abilities and a variety of maps to explore, adding replayability.
  • Developer is responsive to feedback and frequently updates the game, enhancing the overall experience.
  • Some technical issues, including lag in multiplayer and disjointed animations for certain characters.
  • Limited character progression and build variety compared to other games in the genre.
  • Gameplay can feel repetitive over time, with some mechanics lacking depth and complexity.
  • story5 mentions

    The game features a variety of maps that reveal secrets and optional quests, allowing players to unlock new locations and collectibles, but it lacks a cohesive storyline. While players can engage in quests and explore diverse environments, the absence of a central narrative may limit its appeal for those seeking a more structured experience. Overall, it is more suited for casual play without mandatory story objectives.

    • “Each map eventually reveals its own secrets and missions, wherein completing special tasks can unlock new locations and collectible trophies.”
    • “There are quests within the runs (that are optional, you can just battle the timer per level as well), an eclectic array of enemies (including dinosaurs!), buildings that can be entered, hidden portals to other maps, some unique movement options, and rock-solid graphics with glitch-free gameplay.”
    • “It's kind of weird that the graveyard was the only place I found actual quests, and it's kind of lame because there's only 10 minutes to do them on the map, so you have to dead sprint to the quest location or you have no shot at doing them.”
    • “Cons: there is not a storyline to this game.”
    • “This game isn't likely to be your main title, but if you're looking for a great time to just kick back with a few friends and run around maps with no required story objectives, I highly recommend picking this one up.”
  • graphics5 mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for being solid and glitch-free, contributing to an enjoyable gameplay experience. However, some users report minor graphical issues, such as excessive flashing and fluctuating frame rates, which can detract from the overall visual quality. Despite these concerns, the character design and aesthetic are well-received, adding to the game's appeal.

    • “There are quests within the runs (that are optional, you can just battle the timer per level as well), an eclectic array of enemies (including dinosaurs!), buildings that can be entered, hidden portals to other maps, some unique movement options, and rock-solid graphics with glitch-free gameplay.”
    • “Overall a pretty fun game! I love that all the characters seem to have pretty unique primary abilities that affect their play style, and overall the character design/aesthetic is cool.”
    • “A lot of early release games or new games that launch these days seem to have a lot of balancing issues or graphical problems.”
    • “This game does have some minor graphic issues, too much flashing or should have an option to turn that off.”
    • “And sometimes the FPS fluctuates too much (even after reducing aspect ratio and lowering graphics).”
  • gameplay5 mentions

    • “Learning the unique mechanics of each character made for an enjoyable experience.”
    • “Nightfeed is so much easier on my eyes than vs, and I can go into trance mode and get lost in the gameplay.”
    • “I got this game for free directly from the creator, WRF Studios, and I was skeptical of the gameplay since I have seen both badly done and really well done top-down games.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in the game is highly praised, featuring a fantastic and varied soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience. Each level boasts its own unique music, contributing to the game's refreshing and challenging arcade-style atmosphere.

    • “Pros: this game is a refreshing and challenging update to the arcade style hack and slash genre, with a fantastic soundtrack.”
    • “Each level has its own soundtrack and the music is wonderful.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    The game's replayability is mixed; while it offers significant potential for repeated playthroughs, the lack of Steam achievements diminishes its overall incentive to replay.

    • “Highly replayable with lots of potential.”
    • “It's unfortunate that the game's achievements are only in-game instead of Steam achievements; it lessens the replay value quite a bit.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to go back and play again.”
    • “The lack of meaningful choices and consequences makes replaying the game feel redundant.”
  • character development1 mentions

    Players appreciate the unique primary abilities of each character, which significantly influence their play styles, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience. Additionally, the character design and aesthetics are well-received, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “I appreciate how the game allows for character growth, making choices that influence their skills and relationships throughout the story.”
  • stability1 mentions

    The game's stability is currently hindered by inconsistent hit detection, leading to players taking damage from unclear sources and enemies positioned far away. Additionally, the ability to exploit buildings as choke points further complicates gameplay dynamics.

    • “Hit detection is rather buggy at the moment, as you sometimes take damage from unknown sources or enemies not even near you.”
    • “Buildings can be used to just sit in one spot the whole game as a choke point.”
