    229 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of "Zet Zillions" is characterized by its innovative mechanics, particularly the card fusion and population systems, which add depth and variety to the roguelike deckbuilding experience. While many players appreciate the unique combinations and engaging combat, some have noted issues with clunky mechanics and bugs that can disrupt gameplay. Overall, the game offers a fresh take on the genre, blending familiar elements with creative twists that keep players invested.

    • “Super fun roguelike deckbuilding game; the main mechanic here is fusing cards and populating planets to stun them.”
    • “The fusion mechanic is so refreshing and adds tremendous depth to toy around with it.”
    • “The gameplay is really interesting, and the fusion system and the philosophy behind not discarding the hand change greatly the feel and the thinking with respect to the archetypes of the genre like 'Slay the Spire.'”
    • “The mechanics are not explained very well, but finding out was quite fun for me, and the gameplay is a little clunky, and unlocking is quite slow (and poorly explained), but the game is fun.”
    • “From barebones UI, clunky card handling and not much strategy in the gameplay, it feels like overambition ate this project over its development.”
    • “Too many times in combat the cards just don't do any effect (often happening with discard/draw mechanics), then playing other cards don't trigger any effect, and even clicking end turn doesn't work.”
  • graphics
    121 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their unique and captivating art style, often compared to popular anime influences like "Gurren Lagann" and "Kill la Kill." Players appreciate the vibrant visuals, engaging character designs, and the overall aesthetic that enhances the gameplay experience, although some have noted that certain card artworks feel unfinished. Overall, the game's presentation, including its animations and soundtrack, contributes significantly to its charm and appeal.

    • “The artwork is absolutely amazing, the dialogue is very entertaining, and the cards are fun to mess around with.”
    • “Its captivating visuals, outstanding music, and innovative gameplay combine to create an experience that is both memorable and endlessly enjoyable.”
    • “The art style has a lot of personality, rendering a more twisted version of Studio Trigger (especially Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann), combined with fascist imagery to give a sense of parodic ultraviolence akin to Starship Troopers.”
    • “Overall, I really like the graphics and premise, but everything feels kind of unfinished or off.”
    • “A lot of the card artworks are unfinished and I can't finish the game because every time a bug ends my run.”
    • “Good stuff, hopefully future patches add some updated artwork to those cards that are still half drawn, as well as add some actual lore and stuff to the pedia, because the same description for every planet is just not adding substance where there is tons of room.”
  • story
    117 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is widely praised for its engaging and humorous narrative, featuring interesting characters and multiple plot twists that keep players invested. Many reviewers highlight the unique art style and voice acting, which enhance the storytelling experience, making it stand out among other roguelike deckbuilders.

    • “Excellent story, understated gameplay, familiar tropes and mechanics yet it all feels new.”
    • “This is a roguelike deckbuilder with a unique art style, unique mechanics like card fusion and planet population, an intriguing story that hooks you from the start, and a soundtrack that puts you in the mood for planet annihilation.”
    • “The charming story, characters, and voice over are all such a pleasant little journey to go through.”
    • “The little bit of the story I did pay attention to was amusing, but I just don't care, sorry. I want to fling digital cardboard.”
    • “But a run ending with no boss because of the story is probably lame after you set up a super sick deck.”
    • “Especially if you like 'Slay the Spire', this game adds very cool gimmicks, although for me the runs are a bit long and the story segments are annoying after a while.”
  • music
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received widespread acclaim for its catchy, immersive, and dynamic quality, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. Reviewers highlight the soundtrack as a perfect blend of upbeat and atmospheric tracks that complement the game's unique art style and mechanics.

  • humor
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as unique and unhinged, blending irreverent jokes with a quirky sci-fi narrative that resonates well with players.

    • “It's a wonderful mix of insane, but interesting, sci-fi craziness and a lot of humor and jokes, meta and otherwise.”
    • “The irreverent humor is truly refreshing and the gameplay and story are like a shot of epinephrine.”
    • “Trying to populate a planet for the first time, and seeing what new face I was going to be presented with, made me laugh on more than one occasion, and the oddball cast of supporting characters add something that a lot of games in this genre miss: personality.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous glitches affecting gameplay, such as card effects not registering properly or applying incorrectly. While the overall experience is enjoyable, these bugs detract from the enjoyment and lead to frustration, prompting reviewers to recommend the game with caution.

    • “Gameplay is fresh and fun, but there are enough glitches to frustrate me.”
    • “Buggy gameplay: sometimes card effects don't register until I play another card or end the turn, or they do nothing and get applied to another card, or the effects somehow change values.”
    • “However, I can only recommend the game with a caveat: it is very, and I do mean very, buggy at the moment.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be extensive and repetitive, particularly due to the limited availability of starter decks, with the second deck unlocking late in the farming process. After around 12 hours of grinding, many feel they have exhausted the game's offerings, leading to a sense of monotony.

    • “It's got good bones, but after 12 or so hours of intense grinding, I think I've seen what it has to offer.”
    • “Makes me want to Clockwork Orange some Gurren Lagann while mindlessly grinding Disgaea, wearing a Gainax grin all the while.”
  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a progression system reminiscent of "Hades," where players return stronger with new unlockables after each death, enhancing replayability. However, some users feel that it lacks sufficient variety and depth, which diminishes the overall replay value typical of roguelikes.

    • “There is barely a sense of progression, variety, and replayability that is a must for all roguelikes.”
    • “I didn't stay because of a lack of replayability, playable characters, and deck strategies.”
    • “The game has an interesting progression system where each time you die, you come back stronger than before with new unlockables, thus providing a 'Hades' type of replayability.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate that the game's monetization model is not exploitative, viewing it as a labor of love rather than a quick cash grab. Continuous updates and a genuine passion from the developers contribute to a positive perception, though some users feel that increased advertising could help attract more players.

  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised for its engaging soundtrack, which combines upbeat and atmospheric tracks that elevate the overall mood and intensity. Additionally, the game's aesthetics and mechanics contribute to a vibrant and enjoyable experience, reminiscent of the style found in "Gurren Lagann."

    • “Very fun roguelite with cool mechanics and aesthetics (I love the Gurren Lagann-ish atmosphere).”
    • “The atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking the depth needed to immerse players.”
    • “While the mechanics are engaging, the overall atmosphere fails to create a compelling world.”
    • “The game has potential, but the atmosphere is dull and doesn't draw you in.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, while some users report bugs and performance issues, many others find the game runs smoothly with only minor, non-disruptive glitches. The voice acting received mixed reviews, with allies' performances deemed average, but the villain's portrayal was notably appreciated.
