About

Nine deadly weapons with one thing in common– they all fire backward. Mastering each weapon's quirks is the key to combat. Jet around with the flamethrower, master the kick of the shotgun, kill at a distance with the sniper rifle. Whatever you choose, fire with purpose, or die.

They crawl, lunge, and swarm. Grotesque enemies and their sinister overlords. Learn their patterns and perfect your positioning for maximum carnage. Fail and be pulled into madness. They don’t want to kill you... they want to keep you.

Each descent is a fleeting ten-minutes of chaos. The souls you collect... are eternal. Use them to unlock powerful upgrades for your ship, evolving your arsenal and abilities. Die, upgrade, repeat. Come back stronger, or not at all.

Great game that commits to a central idea and does it really, really well. Super punchy, responsive and dripping with charm. It was great on mobile but even better on PC - though some of that is I can actually beat the wormy on PC, maybe. For the dopamine-starved computer boys of 2025 it is also prime gaming to have a podcast or video essay or whatever playing on the second monitor. Little green fella should consider investing in a front facing gun, maybe
本作是一部恐怖主题的街机射击游戏,在本作中有闯关和类肉鸽两种模式可供游玩。在游戏中玩家需要操控一个形状看起来像是鼠标的物品在游戏地图中移动,击败地图中的敌人。在闯关模式中玩家每关都会在最开始面对一些小怪,然后面对一个关卡boss。而在类肉鸽模式中玩家需要在游戏中生存并消灭关卡中的敌人,每当玩家通过一轮后就可以获得三选一强化,这三选一有可能是新武器,属性强化等。 在游戏中玩家操控的“三角体”可以切换为四种攻击方式,但是在最开始玩家只有初始攻击方式可以选择。在游戏中玩家需要点击鼠标控制操控的“三角体”移动,鼠标在哪里,玩家操控的“三角体”就会往哪里移动,并且会在尾部发射一次攻击。在游戏中一共有着9种“三角体”,每种三角体都有其独特的攻击方式,不过一些三角体释放攻击时需要消耗弹药数和体力。最开始玩家的初始“三角体”自带的攻击是不需要消耗弹药的,它的特殊能力是在敌人靠近时会消耗体力进入“子弹时间”。除了最初的“三角体”,其他“三角体”的攻击方式各不相同,比如有的“三角体”攻击方式是在尾部喷射火焰,一边移动一遍攻击。有的“三角体”尾部是霰弹枪,鼠标点击时移动一次并消耗弹药向后发射一次霰弹攻击。有的“三角体”按住鼠标左键会固定在那里然后尾部开始快速发射弹药,就像加特林。有的“三角体”按住鼠标尾部会变成狙击枪,有红线瞄准,进入子弹时间。此外还有很多种攻击方式。 [quote]欢迎关注 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45531068/]黑白测评[/url] [hr]黑夜显真 白昼辨伪[/hr]
So far, I love this game! It has a fresh take on the Asteroids genre and makes it pretty spooky. Most importantly, the game has a lot of variety in terms of weapons and their mechanics. You can equip up to 4 per run after you unlock them, and then you can work on upgrading them afterwards. I only beat the first chapter but I can tell that I am really going to enjoy playing this one until the end. I would like to mention that although the game has controller support, using a mouse is way more intuitive and helps with movement. I almost always prefer to use a gamepad, but I think this one works better with the mouse... no keyboard needed.
This game is pretty cool, The controls are surprisingly intuitive for the unique concept, and it feels very polished. All of the effects are also very satisfying
This game hits. If you like fast paced action with tight arcade-style controls definitely give this one a shot. There is permanent upgrade system helps lock in that feeling of wanting to do "one more run" over and over again because your upgrades keep stacking as you do better and better. It also scratches that Vampire Survivor gameplay itch, but you feel less at the mercy of the RNG gods and more like a badass when you finally prevail. Highly recommend. Plays great on Steam Deck too.
I was pleasantly surprised by this game. It's easy to pick up, but hard to really master. You also can feel that there was passion put into this game, and I hope the dev continues like this with their other games. I'm definitely gonna be playing this more. 10/10
Chapter 2 made me want to quit gaming and set fire to my computer. I hate it. 10/10 great game
I played this game on my phone, and i loved it. Something about just resonates in me, and when i found out that it will be remastered for PC, i was really excited. Now i fully completed it, and it was 100% worth it. Game is buggy, but everything critical is already fixed, or will be fixed in no time. I love this game
BACKFIRE est un jeu d'arcade horrifique. Le jeu propose des ennemis et boss déments, chacun ayant des patterns à observer pour optimiser vos attaques. Chaque mort permet de collecter des âmes et débloquer des améliorations pour rendre votre vaisseau plus puissant. Visuellement rétro, avec une ambiance effrayante, BACKFIRE est addictif pour ceux qui aiment les défis. Un jeu difficile mais gratifiant pour les amateurs de sensations fortes et de stratégie.
This was a fun little Shoooter . It does take a bit of skill to aim and move correctly but once ya got it your set. Its not something i could play for long period just cuz my hand cramps up a bit but I had a good time.
