  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, while the visuals are appreciated by many, they are marred by technical issues that affect gameplay perception.

    • “Very underrated gem, the visuals are absolutely gorgeous and the gameplay is a lot of fun.”
    • “This game is great, gunplay feels good, art style is awesome!”
    • “That said, the game feels way more sluggish than it used to, the balances seem harsh and targeted to slow gameplay down, progression feels really slow, prestige doesn't feel worth it, guns feel very samey, and the graphics seem like they have this weird fuzzy filter at all times that causes massive eye strain.”
    • “The visuals look fine, the music is forgettable but still fine, the dialogue is amusing but somewhat repetitious and the story mostly just exists to justify the gameplay; and does not have much compelling depth beyond that.”
    • “Besides the graphics, and the smooth gameplay.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game serves primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay, lacking depth and compelling elements, with repetitive dialogue and minimal mission variety. While the visuals and music are adequate, the overall narrative experience is seen as underwhelming, leading some players to hope for future improvements through DLC. Additionally, concerns about the game's NFT integration have prompted warnings against supporting it until the developers address these issues.

    • “The visuals look fine, the music is forgettable but still fine, the dialogue is amusing but somewhat repetitious, and the story mostly just exists to justify the gameplay; and does not have much compelling depth beyond that.”
    • “Game is a fun roguelike, hope for more down the road with DLC and story.”
    • “The visuals look fine, the music is forgettable but still fine, the dialogue is amusing but somewhat repetitious, and the story mostly just exists to justify the gameplay; it does not have much compelling depth beyond that.”
    • “I stumbled on the game while looking for something where my friends who don't game nearly as much as I do couldn't fall behind in a grindy storyline.”
    • “Game is a fun roguelike, but after finding out that it supports NFTs, which is a prime space for fraudulent actors to pull scams, I would avoid this until the developers come out and shut down the NFT version.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I've had some long-term performance issues on deck, possibly because of sleeping/waking (I tend to do that rather than closing the game).”
    • “I get FPS between 40-60 normally, but eventually performance degrades to 27-35 (even just in the bar).”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a compelling initial experience, but its limited content restricts replayability. While there is potential for future expansion, the current depth of gameplay does not support significant replay value.

    • “The game definitely has a clear foundation for expanding more on its systems, which suggests potential for increased replayability in the future.”
    • “Although not deep enough to have much replayability, the initial experience is compelling enough to be satisfying on its own.”
    • “The game definitely has a clear foundation for expanding more on its systems, but the limited amount of content currently available limits the replayability in turn.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to dive back in, making replayability a major issue.”
    • “While the mechanics are enjoyable, the lack of diverse content means that after a few playthroughs, the experience feels stale.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's monetization strategy heavily involves NFTs, which dominate discussions among players, leading to concerns about it being perceived as a cash grab. However, some users urge a deeper consideration of the game's potential beyond just its NFT elements.

    • “I'm pretty sure the NFT aspect is still prevalent, and NFTs come up in about 70% of the conversations surrounding this game. Before dismissing it as just an NFT cash grab, please consider the implications.”
    • “The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
    • “It seems like the developers prioritize profit over player experience, which is disappointing for a game that could have been so much more.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally considered forgettable, serving its purpose without leaving a lasting impression. While it complements the visuals adequately, it does not enhance the overall experience significantly.

    • “The visuals look fine, but the music is forgettable and lacks any memorable qualities.”
    • “The music is decent but fails to leave a lasting impression, making it easy to overlook.”
    • “While the dialogue is amusing, the music feels repetitive and does not enhance the overall experience.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
