Ratings and reviews

I think this is a very good game of this genre. It has a nice progression system and I feel like I'm unlocking something new often. My biggest complaint is that it can be difficult to tell what damage type a specific weapon is (I have some color blindness). Adding a P for physical, M for magical, and H for hybrid damage in the weapon flavor text for instance would be very helpful for people like me. Other than that, I think the game is very enjoyable.

fun, but end game scaling needs fixing. I like destroying all the stuff. I opened up all of the maps, but my only issue is that the meta progression ultimately doesn't meet the challenge needs of the final maps. I've got everything maxed, including my special skills, but unfortunately the dark themes of the last levels, combined with the too small, fast moving chickens or whatever, and their 5 hits to kill you, combined with all the stuff blocking the way, just makes it... unfun

A bullet-hell game in the world of Doom & Destiny. Definitely a bit difficult to get going, but gets a bit easier after several runs as you unlock the meta-game progression upgrades. This is a well done action game, easy to pick up and put down for a few minutes or to sink into for an hour or two. A good time killer while we wait for D&D3 😉
