  • Fast-paced, dynamic gameplay with satisfying hack-and-slash combat and smooth controls.
  • Strong pixel art style, detailed animations, atmospheric music, and impactful sound effects.
  • Variety of characters with unique abilities, procedural level generation, and replayability through different builds and upgrades.
  • Demo is very short, some find it too easy or lacking in challenge after initial runs.
  • Control issues including lack of key rebinding and sometimes wonky inputs causing discomfort during play.
  • Some encounters feel unbalanced with overpowered enemies, repetitive platforming, and resource grinding for upgrades.
  • monetization
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization approach is heavily criticized as misleading, with the game effectively serving as an advertisement for "Rising Hell" rather than a full experience. Users feel it wastes player time and clutters the market, urging against paying for what amounts to an ad rather than a proper game.

    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
    • “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers.”
    • “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a fun and varied rogue-lite experience with an engaging atmosphere and enjoyable hack-and-slash mechanics, though some find the pace a bit slow. Players appreciate the music and overall design but suggest improved enemy sound effects and clearer game mechanic explanations.

    • “This game has both variety and a fun atmosphere, with good gameplay and music.”
    • “Fun pixel game, with a hack and slash gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay wise, there's a lot you can do.”
    • “I normally don't enjoy rogue-lite games because they tend to have really boring atmospheres and gameplay as some sort of punishment for weapon/build variety.”
    • “My only suggestions would be some better sound effects from enemy attacks, and some more information about game mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay is a bit too slow for me, but it's still great.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users generally appreciate the game's modern and visually appealing graphics, praising the artwork and overall visuals. However, some imply that the graphics may not match professional standards, and a few mention that gameplay controls, not graphics, cause discomfort.

    • “Fast game with modern-day graphics and easy controls that move from location A to B to C and so on.”
    • “The visuals are amazing even when the graphics aren't.”
    • “The artwork is really cool.”
    • “If amateur developers want to get paid the same money as real developers, they need to learn how to do video game graphics first.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the game's music for enhancing its fun and engaging atmosphere, complementing strong visuals, design, and gameplay. The soundtrack is often highlighted as a key element contributing to the overall positive experience.
