  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable and features a unique blend of mechanics, including a mix of regular and tank controls, which may take time to master. While the game offers multiple modes and a satisfying loop, some players find certain mechanics frustrating and experience performance issues. Overall, it presents a refreshing take on the bullet hell genre with customizable gameplay and engaging weaponry, though it may not be fully polished yet.

    • “Campaign mode with simple objectives, challenge mode, and endless mode provide multiple gameplay options.”
    • “The game is an interesting, if challenging take on the bullet heaven genre: the hybrid of regular and tank controls takes a while to get used to; but the game has an incredibly satisfying gameplay loop.”
    • “A refreshing take on the genre with unique controls and highly customizable gameplay.”
    • “This is no gameplay, just frustrating.”
    • “I'll be interested in seeing where this game is going, but I'm not sure I can recommend the full game at the moment with the oddity and issues the core gameplay presents.”
    • “I also don't understand some mechanics such as tagging and ion explosions.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game has been criticized for its lack of variety and typical mission structure, with players feeling that the tasks often do not align with the game's "survivor" theme. Additionally, certain mission types discourage combat, leading to frustration as players navigate challenges that seem counterintuitive to the gameplay mechanics. Overall, the narrative and mission design require significant improvement to enhance player engagement and enjoyment.

    • “I would even dare to say the missions are typical in gaming, with no variety in them.”
    • “Why does this game have 'survivor' in the title when most missions give you a set task to complete, rather than requiring you to survive for a certain amount of time?”
    • “Like on the mining capture missions, where the more enemies you kill, the harder the enemies get.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the aesthetic and effects, others criticize them as mediocre and outdated, likening them to visuals from a decade ago. Additionally, the large ship size in relation to small enemies can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences.

    • “I also love the graphics; the choice of space reminds me of Galaga.”
    • “Graphics are mediocre and this looks like it was made 10 years ago.”
    • “While this game nails its aesthetic and effects, the fact of the matter is that the rough controls, combined with how large your ship is and how small most of the enemies are makes for a frustrating experience.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant performance issues, including poor optimization on PC and audio crackling, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these technical shortcomings, players find the gameplay enjoyable and thematically appropriate for the genre.

    • “Crippling performance issues.”
    • “It does seem to have a weirdly poor performance on my PC, and sounds often crackle a bit too much, but the gameplay itself is pretty fun and the theme fits super well in this genre.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious, as collecting experience points requires close proximity to the items, and the limited time to gather them after defeating enemies forces hasty level decisions. This design detracts from the ability to grind effectively before tackling significant challenges.

    • “Picking up the green XP is tedious since your ship must fly near it, and after the objective is complete, you are not given much time to collect the XP after defeating enemies.”
    • “This leads to you being forced into level choices you didn't want at first, resulting in a lack of opportunity to grind before a big level.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, with users highlighting a "sick soundtrack" that enhances the overall experience. The variety in levels complements the awesome music, contributing to a dynamic and engaging atmosphere.

    • “Sick soundtrack.”
    • “There's definitely a lot of good here; the objective variety in levels is pretty cool, and the music is awesome.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is perceived as lacking, with users indicating that without engaging with deeper emotional elements, the overall experience feels unfulfilling and not enjoyable.

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players feel that the inclusion of strategy optimization and unlockable content significantly enhances the game's replayability, providing meaningful incentives to revisit and engage with the game multiple times.

    • “This would add a lot of replayability, include strategy optimization, and give a real reason to keep unlocking content.”
    • “The variety of choices and outcomes makes each playthrough feel fresh and exciting.”
    • “With multiple paths and endings, I find myself coming back to explore every possibility.”
    • “This would add a lot of replayability, include strategy optimization, and give a real reason to keep unlocking stuff.”
