Beat Slayer

I love rhythm games but previously did not like roguelikes. Well guess that was because I had a bad start - Beat Slayer is motivating and fun every time, even though the harder difficulties are no jokes! The weapons are all unique and fun, randomized upgrades all feel great and when combining them, it makes you feel really powerful. This game mastered both making you feel good after a really tough stage and making you feel good when you are overpowered and just having a run crushing hundreds of robots to pieces. Also, I like the theme and the characters you meet between runs are all likable and have plenty of dialogue so you don't get repeated phrases all the time. Minor complaint: The game could use a few more permanent upgrades. It might make you overpowered though so not sure what I would like to see that would not make the game unbalanced. Oh and... almost goes without saying as it's the basis for everything but the soundtrack of this game is great! Absolutely worth listening to for dozens of hours.

a masterpiece

I really want to recommend this but I just can't. On paper, it should be a home run - a combination of Hades and Hi-Fi Rush. But it just feels like a watered down version of both and just makes me want to play either of those instead. It lacks the polish of Hades, power-ups don't feel meaningful or give you a sense that you're getting stronger. The fire one is the only one that ever feels worth it. The rhythm aspect feels skewed against you, you have to attack and dodge on beat in order to maintain the buff you get from keeping tempo, but the enemies aren't bound by this restriction, so you're left with the choice between losing your combo or taking a hit. No matter what you decide, it feels bad. And the final boss, hoo boy. You get a teleporting, area-denying- enemy-summoning bullet hell. With shields. And AOE. And who doesn't attack on beat. It stops being a fun challenge and just feels like they couldn't pick a mechanic and threw all of them in a blender. It has so much potential. I want it to be good. But as it is, I had to ask myself "am I having fun?" and the answer unfortunately is no.

I never really saw the point of games like this, especially non-VR where you're not even dancing to the beat and getting some exercise, but this one is really fun and stylish and makes me want to get better at it. I'm gonna get rhythmic, dammit!

Primero que nada ¿Quién en su sano juicio configura los controles de teclado y mouse así? Los botones se sienten asignados al azar y es mejor tomarse el tiempo de reajustarlos antes de iniciar el juego, sobre todo si estás acostumbrado a otros juegos del género. Y si bien se ve y se siente entretenido durante la primera run, el juego va perdiendo su encanto de forma drástica al rejugarlo, en particular a causa de las peleas del segundo boss y la batalla final. Además, para ser un juego de ritmo, tener una única canción para todo el santo juego me parece un crimen. Cómpralo si te sobra la plata y no sabes que más jugar

I see dead notes. 10/10

一個多小時的遊戲體驗還算不錯 雖然初期的血量真的有夠少， 也不什麼技能武器可以使用， 但整體遊戲初期體驗還算新鮮可玩

A fun take on the linear top-down dungeon-crawler rogue-lite. I enjoy hitting short cooldowns like they're on a beat, so it's always fun when it's part of the game design. also is selin best girl or what

Sehr geiles Game! Leute die Rhythmgames und Roguelites wie Hades mögen werden hier definitiv fündig werden. Die Mucke ist geil und geht ordentlich rein. Gerne mehr davon! F*** DIETRICH!
