    • “I can't see the appeal of this game... it looks ugly, not retro, maybe it's the rush of the music? The gameplay is too simple yet frantic but too frustrating.”
  • gameplay
    60 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Ubermosh: Wraith is characterized by its frantic bullet hell action and the introduction of new mechanics like the Manastrike, which enhances the core experience with visual flair and strategic depth. While some players appreciate the addictive and challenging nature of the gameplay, others criticize it for being overly simplistic and reminiscent of older titles. Overall, the game offers a mix of familiar elements and new features, appealing to both fans of the series and newcomers, despite some technical issues and a lack of variety in gameplay across the series.

    • “Adrenaline-inducing gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is addictive and fun - it reminds me a lot of the first Diablo, but in an arcade way.”
    • “You've still got the classic Ubermosh gameplay of 90 seconds in the arena to gun down as many enemies as possible, but now you've got the 'manastrike', a move that sets off at random intervals to wipe out even more enemies, as well as a return of the brainclap and the open arena.”
    • “It is supposed to be the 4th in the series from which I previously played only the first, which disappointed me in terms of variety and in-depth gameplay.”
    • “I can't see the appeal of this game... it looks ugly, not retro, maybe it's the rush of the music? The gameplay is too simple yet frantic but too frustrating.”
    • “The gameplay is quite boring 2D survival shooting action, and the same has been done better on a lot of games already, years ago.”
  • graphics
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally criticized for being low-resolution and lacking polish, with many reviewers noting a reliance on retro pixel art that feels unrefined and generic. However, some players appreciate the unique art style and thematic visuals, finding them enjoyable despite their simplicity. Overall, while the graphics may not impress everyone, they do not detract significantly from the gameplay experience for some users.

    • “Visuals are great, from the power of the gun shaking your camera, to the splattering and spinning guns from an enemy that disintegrated.”
    • “Plus, the character artwork in Ubermosh: Wraith is the coolest looking of all the Ubermosh series.”
    • “Pros: good mechanics, small but diverse amount of guns, deflecting is reaction and intuition based as opposed to timing based, hard mode is hard, great thematic graphics, low price, different classes bring challenge and variety.”
    • “A generic overhead shooter with low-res graphics and very loud music for which, irksomely enough, there's no volume slider.”
    • “The game itself has pretty horribly low quality retro pixel graphics, because the developer has most likely not used a real graphics artist to get them done.”
    • “The game has terrible low quality retro pixel graphics because the developer couldn't afford an artist.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is criticized for being the most unoptimized and unstable entry in the Ubermosh series, with users experiencing significant performance issues, particularly during cluttered scenes. To mitigate these problems, players are advised to adjust settings in the options.ini file to prioritize GPU performance.

    • “If you have performance issues, try to fiddle with the options.ini in the installation folder.”
    • “You need to set it to 'high performance' to assign the GPU to the game.”
    • “However, this game is the only Ubermosh game that I can't exactly recommend; it is the most unoptimized and unstable game of the entire series.”
    • “I had some slowdown and minimizing screen performance issues when the field became cluttered.”
    • “(By the way: if you have performance issues, try to fiddle with the options.ini in the installation folder.)”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story presents a moral about resilience and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing that perseverance can lead to unexpected outcomes. However, it is also described as a simplistic framework primarily serving as a backdrop for action, highlighting humanity's inherent need for violence in a peaceful world.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “The story (not that it needs one) is a simple excuse for the action: the real world is peaceful but humans need violence and created the uber-mosh-pit so they can exercise their violent tendencies.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game experiences significant stability issues, with users reporting random freezes and brief screen hiccups, although some can still navigate the menu or alt-tab during these moments. Framerate problems are also noted, but they appear to affect only a minority of players.

    • “It freezes up randomly, and not only does it still let you hit escape to go back to the main menu when it freezes, I can also alt-tab out and my computer is working fine... what the heck?”
    • “In very few cases, players are plagued by framerate issues or, like me, by hiccups, where the screen freezes for a millisecond.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is noted to be nuanced, with players expressing a sense of depth that may require multiple playthroughs to fully appreciate. Some reviewers mention that their experiences may evolve as they engage more with the game, indicating a layered emotional impact that unfolds over time.
