  • The game features smooth gameplay with a variety of characters, each offering a unique playstyle.
  • It combines elements of roguelite and bullet hell in a visually appealing neon noir package.
  • The game is well-polished, responsive, and provides a fun experience, especially for fans of twin-stick shooters.
  • Currently, there is a limited amount of content with only one class available and a short completion time.
  • The game lacks features like controller support, Steam leaderboards, and achievements, which could enhance the experience.
  • As it is still in early access, there are concerns about the game's future content and replayability.
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its smoothness and responsive controls, with visually appealing retro-inspired graphics and a variety of early objectives. However, it is limited by having only one playable class, a lack of upgrades or menu options, and a short completion time of 30-40 minutes, resulting in minimal replayability beyond high scores.

    • “Really impressive, they definitely took the time to make sure it has smooth gameplay.”
    • “The visuals are retro inspired and quite visually appealing, the gameplay feels responsive and easy to learn, and the variety of room objectives at this early stage is impressive!”
    • “The game's mechanics are good, it feels smooth to control and shoot with the character.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability due to its single class option and lack of upgrades or menu purchases, resulting in a short completion time of 30-40 minutes. Players can only engage in high-score challenges for additional play, which may not be enough to sustain long-term interest.

    • “The game's mechanics are good, it feels smooth to control and shoot with the character, but that's about it unfortunately. You only have one class to play with, and you can't upgrade anything or buy anything in the menu for now. You can finish the game in pretty much 30-40 minutes, so there's really no replayability besides the 'high-score'.”
    • “Once you complete the game, there's little incentive to play again. The lack of different classes or upgrades makes it feel repetitive after the first run.”
    • “The game is fun initially, but after finishing it once, I found no reason to return. The absence of varied gameplay elements severely limits its replayability.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their sleek, retro-inspired design, which enhances the visually appealing aesthetic of the game. Players appreciate the responsive visuals that complement the fast-paced action and intuitive gameplay, contributing to an overall engaging experience.

    • “Fast-paced action, an intuitive and customizable level-up system, and sleek graphics to boot.”
    • “The visuals are retro-inspired and quite visually appealing. The gameplay feels responsive and easy to learn, and the variety of room objectives at this early stage is impressive!”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a strong enthusiasm for grinding in games similar to "Vampire Survivors," highlighting it as an addictive and rewarding aspect, particularly in the context of meta progression.
