  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its realistic physics, engaging mechanics, and cooperative elements that enhance the experience, despite some UI issues. Players appreciate the variety and depth of the core mechanics, particularly in the twin-stick shooter format, while the fast-paced action and soundtrack contribute to an enjoyable atmosphere. However, some note limited replay value after completing the main content.

    • “Great co-op game with a lot of variety and excellent gameplay... the simple graphics belies how well done it is.”
    • “The fast-paced gameplay and booming soundtrack will leave you wanting more.”
    • “The core gameplay is an ability-based twin-stick shooter.”
    • “At first, I thought (due to the visuals) that the game was going to be very simple in any way... and I was totally wrong. This game has a lot of good ideas and nice approaches to its 'dungeon crawler' mechanics, and the way the game manages progression is quite satisfactory.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability, as it is primarily designed for a single playthrough with little to do after defeating the final boss. Players express a desire for updates that could introduce randomly-generated dungeons and unique abilities to enhance replay value, though the core mechanics remain enjoyable for the time spent.

    • “If this game ever gets more updates, it would be cool to get randomly-generated dungeons for more replay value and unique legendary abilities, like what we got with the gear.”
    • “I have about 10 hours in the game and have gotten almost all the items and beaten the bosses a few times each. While there's not much replay value, the base mechanics are fun to play and feel refreshing.”
    • “Now what I've seen some people talk about is the replayability; the game is meant for you to play once, and that's it. There's no more to do after defeating the last boss.”
    • “Once you finish the game, there's really no incentive to go back. The lack of different endings or side quests makes replaying feel pointless.”
    • “The game offers little in terms of replayability. After completing the main story, I found myself with no motivation to start over.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are described as photorealistic, enhancing the realistic physics and gameplay, while some users note that the simple visuals may initially mislead players about the game's depth and complexity.

Overall, the visuals effectively support the engaging gameplay experience.

    • “Realistic physics and gameplay with photorealistic graphics and a story worthy of a Nobel Prize.”
    • “Great co-op game with a lot of variety and excellent gameplay; the simple graphics belies how well done it is.”
    • “At first, I thought (due to the visuals) that the game was going to be very simple in any way, and I was totally wrong. This game has a lot of good ideas and nice approaches to its 'dungeon crawler' mechanics, and the way the game manages progression is quite satisfactory.”
