  • graphics
    445 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their high quality and modern aesthetic, standing out in a genre often dominated by pixel art.

    • “The graphics as well seem a bit grainy and blurry as if a 'motion blur' option is always on.”
    • “The very detailed and realistic graphics style of this game, which I love, is a double-edged sword: other games with simpler cartoon/pixel styles have an easier time distinguishing enemy types, and the enemies from the background.”

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its heavy metal soundtrack that complements the fast-paced gameplay and enhances the overall experience.

Overall, the soundtrack is generally well-received, particularly by metal fans, but there are calls for additional tracks to prevent monotony.

    • “If you like metal soundtracks a la Meshuggah and/or Fear Factory plus mindless neon-horde slaying of the epileptic kind, this one is for you.”

    • “In addition, the soundtrack is absolutely stellar, perfectly complementing the adrenaline-pumping action.”
    • “The game is fine, but the music is awful.”
    • “The annoying and monotonous music loop, wish there was some variety.”

  • grinding
    94 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed feedback from players. While some find the progression system engaging and rewarding, with a balance between challenge and fun, others feel it can be excessively grindy and tedious, particularly when unlocking skills and achievements. Overall, the game appeals to those who enjoy grinding as part of the gameplay experience, but it may deter players who prefer a more streamlined progression.

    • “Levelling up is not tedious, as the cadence to unlock new features is relatively smooth.”
    • “You have several characters with various playstyles, several game modes which are all fun in their own right, and the meta progression is not grindy.”
    • “Within 4.5 hours, I've easily unlocked 45% of the achievements (I wasn't grinding for them).”
    • “The game feels like endless grinding without real progress.”
    • “It requires a tedious unfun grind to unlock the tier 3 skills for each character (you have to pick the character as leader and kill around 20k monsters to unlock tier 3 skills).”
    • “Unfortunately, it feels really grindy (takes a long time to upgrade very important upgrades) and the way leveling up the characters works is actually a massive detriment to player freedom and creativity.”
  • replayability
    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game boasts exceptional replayability, with players praising the variety of characters, team combinations, and evolving content that encourages experimentation and strategic play. Multiple modes, challenges, and a robust progression system further enhance its longevity, making it a compelling choice for fans of the genre.

    • “The choice of 3 team members adds significantly to the replay value.”
    • “Fun but too short and no replayability.”
    • “It simply doesn't offer any replayability value; yes, you have a 'skill tree,' but it doesn't change the game at all. It makes the damage numbers slightly higher, which is okay, but it's still the same game.”
    • “The content also feels minimal right now with only a couple of maps being out, but the characters and abilities give the game a lot of replayability.”
  • story
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding the story aspect of the game. Many players note the absence of a complex narrative or character development, with some expressing a desire for a more engaging storyline to enhance the gameplay experience.

  • optimization
    64 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Some users noted improvements after updates, but issues persist, particularly in crowded scenarios and on specific platforms like Linux. Overall, while the game is enjoyable and visually appealing, further optimization is needed to enhance the experience across all systems.

    • “Performance stays smooth even when the screen looks like a zombie convention collided with a fireworks factory.”
    • “The game is beautiful, optimized, and keeps a fine balance between making you overwhelmed and in control.”

    • “The game is okay-ish and everything, but you really need to fix the performance issues ASAP.”
    • “Performance can dip in later, more crowded stages on certain hardware.”

    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability is generally praised, with many users noting it runs smoothly and is largely bug-free, especially for an early access title. However, some players have reported occasional crashes, minor glitches, and frame rate drops, particularly at higher settings or in specific game modes. While there are some concerns about optimization and certain bugs, the majority of feedback indicates a solid performance and enjoyable experience.

    • “It still has some bugs and glitches, and it could use more polish and optimization.”

Many players value the game's content and enjoyment at its price point, highlighting that it avoids the pitfalls of typical mobile games laden with pay-to-win mechanics. Overall, while the presence of ads is a point of contention, the lack of microtransactions is seen as a significant positive.

    • “This game delivers a thrilling experience packed with intense action and a surprisingly deep character development system.”
