Antipaint

One of the best roguelikes I have ever played, the colors, the insane builds, the hyperspeed fish.

You're far from starved for choice should you want to play a roguelite, and I usually don't. But this is one of the few exceptions. It's got an original concept that doesn't waste your time; you'll immediately know if it clicks, whether you see yourself going on another run. The controls are fluid and satisfying, with a wide variety of potential builds. Even as tons of enemies and projectiles paint the screen, I have no issue keeping track of myself. The brass band soundtrack fits the action perfectly. I do think there are too many flat-colored vector shapes in places that could look less simplistic, and the text/fonts/typography could be livelier, but the game has a remarkably fun, playful identity either way.

Fun theme and nice shoot-at-things gameplay.

The game is actully pretty creative and filled with art refrences. It's good for artists who just want to play with color pallets and for insparation. I also found out you can change the difficulty in the settings.

I mainly play roguelike games these days with the goal of getting all of the achievements before I consider myself finished with them. Checkout my profile for some similar roguelike games you may not have heard about. Antipaint stands out as one of the more unique roguelike bullet hell games in my library. Each run you select from a starting "weapon" in the form of a painting tool like brush or roller and a special perk/skillset. Once you start a run you don't change your weapon, but instead buy upgrades in the form of items which all feel unique and the synergies are very straightforward. At the start of the game it is very challenging as you learn all the ins and outs of the enemies and the bosses, but within a few hours you will likely pick up on some key items to winning each run. Attempting to get all the achievements does add a lot more replayability and challenge to the game that continue to challenge you even after you unlocked all the content in the game. Each run isn't too long, and there is a save and quit function, so at the end of the day antipaint is a welcome challenge that is also respectful of your time while not being a pushover.

Fun, fast and flashy! In true Roguelike fashion no two runs will ever quite be the same.

Antipaint is one of those wonderfully unexpected gems that turns a simple idea into something truly fun. It mixes fast-paced roguelite combat with vibrant, expressive style, and every level you beat literally becomes a painting you get to keep — how cool is that? The gameplay is frenetic and satisfying, whether you’re blasting enemies with different brushes, rolling paint around the arena, or watching your canvas fill with colour. Each run feels fresh thanks to the variety of tools, items, and playstyles you can experiment with, and building your own colourful masterpieces never gets old. It’s addictive in the best way: quick pickups, loads of unlocks, and that constant “one more run” feeling where you want to see what new art you’ll create next. The visuals are bold and joyful, and the way your battles translate into wild abstract art pieces is simply brilliant. The community loves it too — Antipaint has earned Very Positive reviews on Steam, and players consistently praise both its creativity and its action-packed roguelite design. If you’re itching for a colourful twist on the shooter genre that’s both clever and genuinely fun, Antipaint is absolutely worth your time. 10/10 — quirky, creative, and a blast to play.
