Played the demo a bit, dropped. Expected this to be like PixelJunk Shooter (which I highly recommend, especially in couch co-op) but:
- They managed to his this special difficulty spot of "medium is boring, hard is frustrating"
- It's not more like a metroidvania, but the map is not interesting to explore (and the map doesn't mark completed dungeons)

Played the demo a bit, dropped. Expected this to be like PixelJunk Shooter (which I highly recommend, especially in couch co-op) but:
- They managed to his this special difficulty spot of "medium is boring, hard is frustrating"
- It's not more like a metroidvania, but the map is not interesting to explore (and the map doesn't mark completed dungeons)
- Enemies respawn when you die, which I hate, it just adds tedium.
- You start off with a nerf gun level of power: very low range and damage, so enemies feel like bullet sponges.
It probably gets better when you get more upgrades, but for me the main shooting feel and gameplay loop didn't feel right. In comparison, the next demo I tried: Dome Keeper had me addicted for hours.
