  • The game is free, making it accessible to a wide audience.
  • It has decent graphics and sound design, providing a visually appealing experience.
  • The core gameplay is fun and addictive, with potential for future updates and improvements.
  • The game suffers from poor balance and optimization, making it frustrating to play, especially in the early stages.
  • Many features, such as upgrades and achievements, are either bugged or do not function as intended.
  • It lacks unique content and innovation, feeling like a generic clone of other games in the genre.
  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally considered functional but lacks depth, with upgrades failing to significantly impact the experience. Players note that character speed disparities and repetitive enemy behavior detract from enjoyment, leading to frustration during encounters. While the core mechanics are enjoyable and visually appealing, the overall experience is hindered by a lack of variety and challenge.

    • “The core gameplay is fun, good graphics, good sound.”
    • “It's basically how the mechanics fit with the gameplay itself; I include meta game progress in that slot.”
    • “I'd give the game a 7/10 on functional gameplay and mechanics.”
    • “I mean, it's free, so that's nice, but no matter how many upgrades I got after a match, the permanent ones didn't impact the actual gameplay.”
    • “Also, no character should start off slower than the enemies; it will lead to a poor gameplay feedback loop that will make players either avoid that character or shy away from enemies far too often.”
    • “A gameplay that seems content with just offering the usual selection of weapons against hordes of identical-behaving enemies, with no power-ups or anything to spice up each run.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally considered above average for its genre, featuring nice visuals and decent physics. However, some users noted a generic quality, with hints of AI-generated art, and occasional choppy movement in enemy animations. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the gameplay experience.

    • “This free game has nice graphics and decent physics.”
    • “Graphically, I like the game and it feels like the beginning of a good game.”
    • “The visuals are great.”
    • “Generic graphics, with some art that I have the distinct feeling is AI-generated.”
    • “When enemies are moving, it graphically looks like they have choppy movement, but only some of the time.”
    • “Graphics are above average for the genre, I guess?”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is criticized for being a short and repetitive loop that can become annoying, contributing to an overall perception of a low-quality experience. Additionally, the use of free assets adds to the feeling of cheapness in the game's production.

    • “The music loop is way too short and annoying, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “Some of the upgrade descriptions are missing, making it hard to understand their impact on gameplay.”
    • “The use of free assets gives the game a cheap feel, affecting the overall quality.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its completely free model, lacking any microtransactions or hidden costs, which sets it apart from many others in the genre. With a solid structure of five stages and a good variety of weapons, it stands out as a competent entry in the bullet heaven category.

    • “It's free with no microtransactions or hidden costs whatsoever. It's generally a fairly competent bullet heaven, and with 5 stages and a decent selection of weapons, it definitely beats a lot of games in the genre, considering there are literally hundreds of them with very varying quality.”
    • “The monetization model is frustratingly aggressive, pushing players to spend money to enjoy the game fully.”
    • “I feel like the game is designed to make you pay for basic features that should be included for free.”
    • “The constant prompts to purchase in-game currency ruin the overall experience and make it feel more like a cash grab.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect to be tedious, but it still offers moments of enjoyment.

    • “Grinding is tedious, though not without a bit of fun.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it feel like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”
    • “I found the grinding to be excessively time-consuming, often detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is mixed; while some users report a smooth experience, others highlight significant issues such as poor support for ultra-wide displays, non-functional achievements, and various bugs. Despite these drawbacks, some players acknowledge that it runs well for an early access title.

    • “It runs smoothly.”
    • “I could also say that it's well optimized for an early access title; the flow is smooth, and there’s nothing annoying hiding behind the excuse of early access.”
    • “Poor optimization, no support for ultra wide, achievements do not work, spelling issues, etc. Another poor clone of Vampire Survivors, absolutely nothing unique here to differentiate it.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues, describing the game as a "buggy mess" even after extensive playtime, indicating that it suffers from numerous bugs and performance problems.

    • “You know, 50 hours in, and it's still a buggy mess.”
    • “The game is a buggy mess and feels overtuned.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is perceived as secondary to the gameplay experience, with players expressing a preference for focusing on map exploration and character progression rather than a narrative-driven journey.
