    The gameplay of "Outbreak: Endless Nightmares" combines survival horror elements with roguelike mechanics, featuring procedurally generated levels that enhance replayability and tension. While it pays homage to classic titles like Resident Evil with adjustable camera angles, some players find the controller support lacking and the mechanics somewhat clunky. Overall, the game offers a nostalgic yet challenging experience, appealing to both roguelike enthusiasts and survival horror fans.

    • “Outbreak: Endless Nightmares twists the series’ survival horror gameplay by adding elements of roguelike gameplay.”
    • “Outbreak: Endless Nightmares is a different take on survival horror, with procedurally generated levels and roguelike gameplay.”
    • “To any fans of roguelikes: it's got that 'just a little bit more... I can risk it!' vibe, and to survival horror fans, it has good tension and overall archaic (in a good homage way) mechanics.”
    • “Familiarity and enjoyment for the original outbreaks and OG RE2 make me realize the gameplay is beyond wonky and not currently playable on controller support for now.”
    • “Update, after 93 minutes of gameplay and testing a lot of controller configuration in-game and in Steam, we quickly learned a lot of personal preferences must be made in the Steam Big Picture controller settings.”
    • “As for the gameplay, it's Resident Evil 1-3 with tweakable camera angles.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the nostalgic PS1 aesthetic when settings are lowered, while others criticize the lack of advanced graphics options and overall quality. Despite some positive remarks about lighting and performance on high-end systems, many users feel the graphics are subpar and limited in customization.

    • “The lighting and graphics are looking great and giving me over 120 fps on my 2080 on 'insane' graphics setting.”
    • “If you somehow don't find enjoyment in this game, you should probably set the visuals to their lowest quality for that authentic PS1 aesthetic, and only then will you appreciate it more.”
    • “There are no in-game advanced graphics settings.”
    • “You cannot even change shadows and textures separately, and it is missing a lot of graphics settings.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is widely criticized for being non-existent or poorly developed, with players feeling dropped into a confusing world without any meaningful narrative or context. Many reviewers note a lack of intrigue and engagement, as the gameplay is described as repetitive and devoid of a coherent campaign or instructions. Overall, the storytelling aspect fails to captivate or motivate players to progress.

    • “Completely vacuous story. I had low expectations, but the game just drops you into this weird overworld with grim reaper-looking characters hanging around, and you go find a level to die in.”
    • “Maybe the developer was going for a souls-like approach to the story here, as you can chat with the reaper characters and there's the odd mention of the protagonist not knowing what's going on. However, there's simply no intrigue and absolutely nothing established to entice the player to move forward, especially when the gameplay is as undercooked as it is.”
    • “There is really no story (at least not for the hour I managed to get through), and you just sort of pass through rooms fighting stuff.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Replayability is noted to be limited, appealing primarily to fans of classic survival roguelikes, while others may not find it engaging enough to revisit.

    • “This type of game may not be for everyone, but those who love classic, challenging survival roguelike games will find significant replay value here.”
    • “The variety of characters and strategies keeps the gameplay fresh, encouraging multiple playthroughs.”
    • “Each run feels unique due to the random elements, making you want to dive back in for just one more attempt.”
    • “This type of game will not be for everyone, but those who love classic, impossible-to-play survival roguelike games will find some replay value here.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have noted that the music can overpower sound effects, making it difficult to hear important audio cues like gunfire. Additionally, the lack of separate audio sliders for music and sound effects has been highlighted as a significant drawback, impacting the overall gameplay experience.

    • “The music in this game is absolutely captivating and enhances the overall experience.”
    • “I love how the soundtrack perfectly complements the gameplay, creating an immersive atmosphere.”
    • “The variety of music tracks keeps the game fresh and engaging, making each session enjoyable.”
    • “I couldn't even hear the gunfire over the music sometimes, and it made playing with other audio (be it another person talking or an audiobook) impossible.”
    • “Oh, that reminds me, one more thing: separate audio sliders for music and sound effects.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game is highly praised, with users describing it as fantastic.
