Played the demo a bit, dropped. Expected this to be like PixelJunk Shooter (which I highly recommend, especially in couch co-op) but:

  1. They managed to his this special difficulty spot of "medium is boring, hard is frustrating"

  3. Enemies respawn when you die, which I hate, it just adds tedium.
  4. 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.

What a great game to close off 2024 with.

Couldn't stop playing it until I explored everywhere, found everything, and defeated every boss (including the annoying boss rush arena, and I don't like boss rush arenas).

If you're into metroidvanias or shoot-'em-ups you gotta give this one a go. There's even a demo.

Fun and flowing metroidvania-lite with bullet hell combat. Pretty tight controls, enemy variety and a little bit of a challenge (though not much on normal difficultly).

Fun and flowing metroidvania-lite with bullet hell combat. Pretty tight controls, enemy variety and a little bit of a challenge (though not much on normal difficultly).

I'm really enjoying it overall, despite the game barely having any story. I'm already on 90 something % completion so this could be the first game I finish in 2025 (or maybe even my last game of 2024)
