  • The movement mechanics are smooth and fluid, allowing for stylish gameplay and satisfying combos.
  • The game features a diverse soundtrack and allows players to switch tracks mid-combat, keeping the experience fresh and engaging.
  • The parry mechanic can feel finicky and inconsistent, leading to frustrating moments during gameplay.
  • Some weapons and abilities feel underwhelming or poorly balanced, making it hard to find a reason to switch from the starting revolver.
  • The level design can become repetitive, with similar room layouts and enemy types leading to a lack of variety in runs.
  • music
    885 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, particularly for its robust custom music integration, allowing players to import their own tracks and sync them to gameplay. While the original soundtrack is praised for its quality, many players find the ability to customize their experience with personal music to be a standout feature, enhancing replayability and immersion. However, some users have noted issues with the custom music editor's usability and the game's ability to accurately detect beats, which can affect the overall experience.

    • “A great rhythm game that lets you jam to whatever song you want.”
    • “The custom music feature is phenomenal.”
    • “The fact that this game allows for you to import any song of your own preference is ever so captivating and made the experience way more enjoyable.”
    • “Just a heads up to anyone looking to pick this up for the custom music editor alone - it does not support FLAC files at all due to the engine being used.”
    • “Devs mentioned maybe adding support by transcoding the files you pick 'behind the scenes', but if you have a large, high-quality music collection you plan to use for this, it won't work.”
    • “The custom music creator is basically unusable.”
  • gameplay
    271 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this rhythm shooter is widely praised for its smooth movement mechanics, engaging combat, and the innovative integration of rhythm elements that enhance the overall experience. Players appreciate the ability to import custom music, which adds a personal touch to the gameplay, although some express frustration with the parry mechanic and certain roguelike elements that can feel forced. Overall, the game offers a fun and addictive experience, blending fast-paced shooting with rhythmic challenges, despite some minor issues with enemy design and replayability.

    • “An absolutely gorgeous psychedelic rhythm game blended with an incredibly polished and creative old school first-person shooter, with a subtle and surprisingly affecting minimalist story that emerges organically from the gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay depth is significantly higher than Hellsinger or BPM, and the ability to easily add custom music means this game is never going to get old.”
    • “Its gameplay takes a lot from other games like Ultrakill, Hellsinger, or Dusk, making it extremely frenetic yet very polished and fair; the more skill you have, the better your gameplay looks.”
    • “The only disappointment I had was that Infinity Game+ doesn't offer much additional gameplay, which makes the game less replayable.”
    • “But... holy moley there are some insanely annoying bugs and really stupid mechanics/design choices that make me never wanna play again and really hesitantly recommend it.”
    • “Game seemed really reliant on a parry mechanic that for the life of me I could not make consistently work.”
  • graphics
    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally described as appealing but not groundbreaking, with a mix of basic visuals and a unique aesthetic that complements the gameplay. While some players appreciate the vibrant colors and consistent art style, others find the visuals cluttered and occasionally difficult to navigate. Overall, the graphics enhance the experience, but there are calls for improvements, particularly for better visibility and performance on lower-end PCs.

    • “The aesthetics are incredible, the music is so catchy, and the fact you can not only add your own songs, but adjust the BPM so it's not janky is amazing.”
    • “Striking visuals, great movement mechanics, amazing variety of guns/weapons and of course, the best part is being able to listen to your favourite songs while playing.”
    • “Great FPS BPM shooter with amazing sound effects, great soundtrack with the ability to import your own music, and personally amazing visuals.”
    • “Visuals are muddy and cluttered.”
    • “I don't have a strong opinion about the art style one way or another; it's got that same deep-fried look BPM had while making enemy colors contrast massively. It helps keep you focused on the enemies, but I've found I struggle to see things like pits in the floor from time to time.”
    • “I just wish you could turn off the graphical effect on menus and text boxes; that kind of hurts my eyes a bit.”
  • story
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as minimalist and somewhat vague, emerging organically from the gameplay rather than being a central focus. While some players find it interesting and enjoy uncovering backstory elements, many prioritize the engaging gameplay and music over the narrative, leading to mixed feelings about its significance. Overall, the story is seen as charming but not a major selling point, with players often opting to skip or overlook it in favor of the game's rhythm and combat mechanics.

    • “An absolutely gorgeous psychedelic rhythm game blended with an incredibly polished and creative old school first-person shooter, with a subtle and surprisingly affecting minimalist story that emerges organically from the gameplay.”
    • “The world of Robobeat and the entire story is amazing. The game design is incredible, with great graphics for bullets whether you hit them regularly or supercharge them. The weapon choices you can unlock while playing add more to this game, and the ability to add your own music is a lovely touch from the developers.”
    • “Robobeat is a rhythm shooter with a futuristic theme and roguelike features, where you'll need to advance to uncover its story while enjoying the beats that come with the game (incredible in my opinion) or your own music thanks to its audio import function.”
    • “I've found that the story does not really progress much between runs unless you complete an area.”
    • “There is some story, but it's not so significant and notable.”
    • “Do note that this is a game focused on gameplay, not story - the story is there but it's definitely not the selling point.”
  • replayability
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a mixed bag in terms of replayability; while many players appreciate the ability to import custom music and the variety of unlockables, some express disappointment with the Infinity Game+ mode and the game's repetitive nature. Overall, it is considered highly replayable due to its engaging gameplay and the potential for endless musical customization, though some players feel it lacks depth in its roguelike elements.

    • “Endless replayability.”
    • “And with the addition to add your own music, this makes the game almost infinitely replayable (if different music is enough to keep you coming back).”
    • “Very replayable, lots of unlockables and possible play styles depending on your music and guns you get.”
    • “The only disappointment I had was that Infinity Game+ doesn't offer much additional gameplay, which makes the game less replayable.”
    • “You may ask 'why not recommend it then?' because this game is honestly repetitive and lacks replayability.”
    • “The roguelike setup initially made me skeptical since I was kind of afraid that it would end up like BPM with good core gameplay but really lacking in terms of its roguelike DNA, which really screwed the replayability.”
  • grinding
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that while there is some grinding involved to unlock abilities and weapons, the engaging gameplay and fluid movement mechanics make it enjoyable rather than tedious. However, some aspects, like the track editing system and certain grinding elements, are criticized for being poorly designed and repetitive, which can detract from the overall experience.

    • “Make it fun, not tedious.”
    • “The importing can be a bit tedious.”
    • “Having to play through the same levels every time feels tedious.”
    • “This is extremely tedious as the track editing system is quite poorly designed in my opinion.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its absurd and playful elements, such as a robot using a ping pong racket to combat capitalism, all set to a humorous soundtrack featuring Weezer. Players find the comedic aspects enhance the gameplay experience, particularly through the entertaining mechanics of various weapons and abilities that keep them engaged.

    • “With each new upgrade you make to your guns or abilities, it really makes you learn the mechanics of each one, some weapons being so hilariously fun to play with that it just keeps you going.”
    • “Funny robot ace icon uses a ping pong racket to destroy capitalism with Weezer in the background.”
    • “Funny music”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report that the game runs smoothly, particularly on Proton, with no significant stability issues. However, there is a desire for more unique gameplay mechanics to enhance the experience.

    • “Runs great on Proton.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised for its impressive visual and auditory elements, contributing to an engaging and enjoyable gameplay experience. Players particularly appreciate the quality of the base songs, which enhance the overall ambiance.

    • “The gameplay is super fun, the atmosphere (both visual and auditory) is amazing, and the base songs are really neat.”
