  • Strong nostalgic tribute to classic PS1-era Resident Evil games with authentic atmosphere, fixed camera angles, and tank controls.
  • Engaging roguelike gameplay with procedurally generated maps, randomized weapons and RPG elements that provide good replayability and fast-paced runs.
  • Supports local split-screen and online co-op modes, allowing cooperative horror gameplay which is rare and highly appreciated.
  • Repetitive and limited variety in level design with repeated rooms and linear paths reduces long-term engagement and depth expected from roguelike titles.
  • Some technical issues including bugs, awkward hitboxes, characters getting stuck on objects, animation locks during combat, and unpolished combat and AI behavior diminishing experience.
  • Lack of narrative depth, minimal content, and absence of a fully fleshed-out story or final boss, making the game feel incomplete and underdeveloped for some players.

    The gameplay offers a classic tank-control experience with a satisfying loop and enough depth to encourage multiple playthroughs, though some timing and balancing issues affect scaling. While the rogue-lite elements feel superficial, the mechanics remain serviceable and appealing to fans of traditional style gameplay. Enhancing character variety and uniqueness could further improve the gameplay experience.

    • “This game bangs, always wanted a gameplay loop like this.”
    • “On the surface, the story and gameplay seem simple enough but there is enough depth in both that multiple playthroughs are guaranteed.”
    • “At least from the perspective of an oldschool fan, I do believe there is still a huge audience for tank controls and classic mechanics; they might be slightly off but they are serviceable here.”
    • “As I progressed through the stages, which are mostly randomized with slight tile differences between the completed stages, it became increasingly obvious that the rogue-lite experience of this game is only surface-level; the mechanics and the balancing have no coherent scaling.”
    • “Some of the timing could be improved in the classic tank-control gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay feels a bit too fast compared to classic games like RE1 or RE2, though it is not drastically different.”

    The graphics feature a nostalgic, low-poly art style with predominantly handmade assets, creating a distinct aesthetic that some find charming despite its simplicity. While the visuals show clear passion and a unique style, users note that they can appear somewhat flat and lack variety, indicating room for further improvement.

    • “Graphics are great in a nostalgic way.”
    • “I do like the artstyle and it appears to be all handmade assets or very minimal use of any store bought assets.”
    • “Strangely, the fully 3D graphics backgrounds looked 2D and the models had the perfect low poly look to them.”
    • “I think just like the first game, it's easy to nitpick it. There are many things that could be improved; it needs more variety in general, both in terms of visuals and rogue-lite progression.”
    • “The aesthetics are achieved, but there is still room for improvement.”

    The story is somewhat simple and not fully fleshed out, but it offers enough depth and lore to encourage multiple playthroughs. While it could benefit from more immersive, story-specific content and a curated progression, it still provides a unique narrative experience without aiming to reinvent the genre.

    • “On the surface, the story and gameplay seem simple enough but there is enough depth in both that multiple playthroughs are guaranteed.”
    • “It isn't trying to reinvent Resident Evil (though it does have a unique story through pages of lore) and it's not trying to reinvent roguelites.”
    • “You technically have enough models/tiles to make a custom Resident Evil game, maybe add a little more story-specific locations, focus a bit more on the immersion and experience; it does not have to be perfect, just good enough to introduce the game.”
    • “You could have like a story mode where you curate the level progression a bit, and maybe a proper fight with a tyrant in a few custom-made rooms.”
    • “You technically have enough models/tiles to make a custom re game, maybe add a little more story-specific locations, focus a bit more on the immersion and experience, it does not have to be perfect, just good enough to introduce the game.”
  • replayability

    The game offers strong replayability with quick play sessions appealing to speedrunners, but some users feel it becomes repetitive after a couple of hours and suggest adding more unique characters and varied traits to enhance long-term engagement.

    • “The game has strong replayability and plays quickly, so speedrunners will enjoy the feel very much.”
    • “I think the game would benefit if you made the characters a bit more unique with the gameplay, like in RE3 where they had different starting loadouts. Maybe even add a few more playable characters by editing the model, swapping some colors, and giving them more traits.”
    • “In something like two hours of playtime you end up seeing pretty much all this game has to offer, considerably diminishing its replay value, essential for a rogue-like title.”
    • “I think the game would benefit if you made the characters a bit more unique with the gameplay, like in RE3 where they had different starting loadouts. Maybe even try to add a few more playable characters by editing the model, swapping some colors, and giving them more traits.”

    The music and sound effects received mixed feedback, with some users feeling that the soundtrack became less immersive over time due to repetitive objectives and certain song choices that didn't fit the game's theme.

    • “And the soundtrack (and sound effects in general) doesn't convince me.”
    • “Now, as the game progressed, the consistency with the immersion dropped, partially due to the repetitive objectives, but also some of the songs chosen later didn't work for the theme.”
