So I was very eager to try this when it came out.
I very much like the play control wherein you can shoot any direction while moving and platforming in a different direction. Makes for more interesting and yet frantic fights. The art is fantastic with tons of bright neon colors and bizarre enemy types.

But the big downside is there is just too much randomness without any feeling of progress. There is a bunch of treasure chests gated by one-armed bandits, the eggs that house unique allies very frequently fail to hatch and give you nothing, and very often there are far more chests gated by rocks and locks than you have grenades and keys for.
Most of the weapons are fairly bland and not exciting to use. Weapons seem extremely limited for the purpose of creating more challenge, but that makes the game much less fun to play.

New game Neon Abyss, kinda has a Gungeon vibe, except 2D platformer. Demo is out on Steam.
