I tried it out of curiosity and ended up loving it. It's a more tactical Roguelite, with a lot of emphasis on bullet hell (with no i-frames dashes, more like "get out of the way" dodges) which makes even the small encounters more interesting and dangerous. Luckily, the hit-boxes and collisions are pretty tight and the movement very responsive, very fun to play. The weapons and equipment are few but varied, giving some personalization on builds. There are some rooms which you have to complete a different objetive to continue, they are pretty fun, although some objectives are less interesting and easy than others. The bosses are good, but for some there's a lot of waiting until the weak point opens making the fights longer. And finally, the maps are incredible, with secrets to find tasks to complete, very different from each other. I'm really looking forward to updates and more maps, because right now there isn't much. I absolutely recommend it, a very entertaining and challenging experience that it's worth checking out. Esp: Lo probé por curiosidad y acabó encantándome. Es un Roguelite más táctico, con mucho énfasis en el bullet hell (sin dashes con i-frames, más bien moverte esquivando las balas) lo que hace que incluso los peleas pequeñas sean más interesantes y peligrosas. Por suerte, las hitboxes y las colisiones son bastante ajustadas y el movimiento muy responsivo, muy divertido de jugar. Las armas y el equipamiento son pocos pero variados, lo que da cierta personalización a las builds. Hay algunas salas en las que tienes que completar un objetivo diferente para continuar, son bastante buenas, aunque algunos objetivos son mas fáciles y menos interesantes que otros. Los jefes son buenos, pero en algunos hay que esperar mucho hasta que se abre el punto débil, lo que alarga los combates. Y por último, los mapas son increíbles, con secretos para encontrar y tareas que completar, muy diferentes entre sí. Tengo muchas expectativas de las actualizaciones y más mapas, porque ahora mismo no hay mucho. Lo recomiendo totalmente, una experiencia muy entretenida y desafiante que para mí, merece la pena probar.

The beginning was quite enjoyable, but after finishing the first episode and completing the third level, I decided to stop. The same five enemies from the first mission appear everywhere, and I'm still encountering the same five guns I started with. The guns are uninspiring: a slightly faster shotgun, a slightly slower shotgun, a slightly faster assault rifle, etc. It's the same thing over and over again.

i hate bullet hells and roguelikes. this game rocks. im horrible at bullet hells and struggled with the tutorial boss on easy difficulty but i want to play more of this game so much. i ADORE the atmosphere and the setting of this game and the surprisingly stunning visuals. war robot on a trash filled mars' moon with a teddy bear shooting other robots and zombies

Cool rogue-like platformer with great atmosphere, lovable characters and hilarious dialogue. While still in 'Early Access', it plays great and demands a level of skill, still with plenty of potential. I hope the dev continues to add more content and levels to this - you can tell it is a labor of love.

DO IT, this is a fun and difficult twin stick shooter, and you can fish.

This game is pretty cool. I wish I was better at it.

When I think of this game, I always think first and foremost about the atmosphere. The lighting, the pixel art, and especially the sound design. Every hiss, click, beep, crunch and whir immerses you in the grim, desolate world on screen. I’ve started paying more attention to sound design in other games simply because this one made me realize how impactful it can be. The bullet hell combat is hard but rewarding, and the game doesn’t hold your hand. This can be frustrating at times, but oh so satisfying when you have that “eureka!” moment, especially during the exploration, when you find a secret passage in a room you’d swear you’ve searched thoroughly earlier. I’m only 4 hours in so far (not counting time spent on the demo), but it’s shaping up to be one of the best Metroidvanias I’ve ever played. Go for it. P.S., runs smooth as butter on the Steam Deck

Initial impressions are solid, love the pixel art and the atmosphere is great. Mechanics are solid and does a good job of easing you into things. Some really competent bones, looking forward to seeing how it develops. 50th :)

When I review games I try to look at them in the scope in which in they live rather than comparing them to other very different games. This is an indie game of a specific genre. I'm writing with those thoughts in mind. I absolutely love the atmosphere of this game. It brings me back to decades past when I was super into sci-fi and dreamt of a world with robots and lasers everywhere. The gameplay is a bit difficult for me and there was quite a few bugs but nothing game-breaking. When I first played the biggest issue was some audio issues. Particularly when I touched water, the volume would max out until I changed it again in the options. So I just avoided water. Definitely use a gamepad. Keyboard/mouse do work but it's clearly not meant for that. The combat is quite fun and there's decent variety of weapons and enemies. My biggest issue was dodging in rooms with a lot of enemies and projectiles. All around, it's a fine game that I think is well worth playing for fans of the genre. I'll modify this as I progress more but I keep dying for now. April 30, 2026

So good, so much attention to detail, have no f'ing idea what any of the negative reviews are talking about. This is a true sleeper hit here, 100 thumbs up if I could give them
