  • The game features visually appealing graphics and well-designed maps that enhance the overall experience.
  • The gameplay offers satisfying mechanics for creating powerful builds using spells that synergize effectively against enemy hordes.
  • It provides a fun roguelite experience reminiscent of Call of Duty Zombies, making it enjoyable for fans of the genre.

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and boring, particularly in the context of a roguelite where variety is expected. While some appreciate the polished movement mechanics and the potential for longevity through augment combinations, others criticize the lack of engaging gunplay and insufficient tutorials for advanced mechanics. Overall, the gameplay loop is seen as straightforward but lacking in excitement and depth.

    • “Zombie / horde survival with awesome upgrade mechanics and element trees.”
    • “The game feel on the movement mechanics has been polished to a shine.”
    • “The gameplay loop is fairly straightforward, but the combinations of augments you can have on your bullets + higher difficulty levels helps the game's longevity.”
    • “Gameplay is extremely repetitive and gets old quickly.”
    • “Gameplay is boring and the gunplay doesn't feel good.”
    • “Really boring and stale gameplay.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game runs great even with a massive amount of enemies, and the soundtrack and graphics are amazing.”
    • “I like the art style and the concept of different bullets in your magazine doing different effects.”
    • “For some reason, I thought it was going to be more doom-like (maybe because of the graphics?), but no, it is aggressively a zombie shooter.”
    • “For some reason, I thought it was going to be more Doom-like (maybe because of the graphics?), but no, it is aggressively a zombie shooter.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews on the grinding aspect highlight a divide in player experience; some find it tedious and unenjoyable, while others appreciate the grind as a fun challenge. However, many agree that the cost of meta upgrades contributes to the grind's tediousness. Overall, the grinding mechanic is seen as a significant point of contention among players.

    • “I want to like it, but it's tedious instead of being fun, and I have a lot more tedious games I enjoy.”
    • “Meta upgrades are quite expensive, making the game feel grindy.”
    • “The grinding aspect feels more tedious than enjoyable.”
  • replayability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game currently lacks depth and replayability, with many users expressing that the addition of mod support could significantly enhance the experience by allowing for custom maps, spells, and items. Players are hopeful for future updates that could introduce more content and longer gameplay modes, which would further increase replay value.

    • “There's very little depth and not a lot of replayability.”
    • “This game would have much more replayability if there was mod support, as modded maps, spells, weapons, enemies, etc. would make it so much fun to try different mods.”
    • “I would like to see more spells, levels, and items, but something that would be really great for the game is a Steam Workshop to allow people to create their own spells, levels, and items, which would add a ton of replayability. A mode for longer than 10 waves would also be great.”
