BloodDome99

It's decent but deducting 20% of my score for toggling auto-aim is a non-starter. I want to support this dev, but that one decision rubs me the wrong way. I'm still going to recommend it,[strike] but I doubt i'm going to play it anymore. [/strike] awesome dev 10/10

[h1]THIS DOME'S A KEEPER[/h1] [i]Eh? Eh? See what I did there?[/i] [b]BloodDome99 = The Running Man + Tandy Home Computer + Vampire Surviors[/b] Yes, yes, the survivors/bullet-heaven genre is heavily over-saturated with scores of mediocre takes littering the store... However this genre is one of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures. For my part, these games hearken back to arcade classics like Robotron in much the same way that many twin-stick shooters do and it's a vibe I still enjoy. Does Blood Dome 99 innovate on this formula? Eh... Not terribly. However, it doesn't need to. It's a game that plays to it's strengths and DGAF about it's weaknesses. It's strengths lie in just how quick and easy it is to get straight into the action, the simple but highly stylish graphics, the (mostly) satisfying feel and capturing that 80s retrofuture dystopia theme perfectly. Honestly, what sets it apart from me is that the runs are FAST. In Vampire Survivors, Halls of Torment, and other similar giants of the genre, once you get rolling you can spend 30 minutes - 1 hour on some levels and they just begin to drag. Sometimes, a lot times, all I want is a game that is extremely sessionable. 15 - 30 minutes tops, nobody is overstaying their welcome and making things awkward like your weird uncle at Thanksgiving. This is where Blood Dome delivers. [i]Take one to the dome if you...[/i] [list] [*] 🩸Want a game that does what it sets out to do and does it hard and fast (oh my) [*] 🩸Get warm nostalgia for classic 80s quasi-futuristic dystopias that certainly won't now fill you with existential dread... Ha... Ha... [*] 🩸Are a bullet-heaven junky that just needs a fix, just a few rounds man, you're good for it, man, PLEASE, PLEASE, man! [/list] [i]Get running, man, if you...[/i] [list] [*] 🏃Are burnt out on survivor-likes, I mean, you probably aren't even on this page if that's the case though. [*] 🏃Are averse to retro-themes and goofy, over-the-top presentation and humor [*] 🏃Tend to calculate whether a game is "worth it" based solely on the sheer number of hours per dollar ratio [/list] [h3][u]The Bottom Line[/u][/h3] Is the Blood Dome the Best Dome? No, but it is far from the Worst Dome. That dubious honor belongs to 1996's Bio-Dome starring Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin. [h1]JAM DA NETWURK?![/h1]

Good premise but boss has a stupid amount of health. Doesn't seem feasibly possible to defeat with 3 weapons.

BloodDome99 is one of the most interesting survivors-like games that I have played. Your goal is freedom, and to achieve this, you need to collect $300,000 and defeat the boss. Killing enemies grants you money and drops XP orbs. Money is the most crucial part of the game. Aside from summoning the boss, money is used to buy abilities when you level up. Upon leveling up, you are offered a choice of one of three abilities, each with a different cost. You can also skip the abilities and receive money instead. The game doesn't feature traditional meta-progression. Instead, it allows players to buy guns and perks that can appear as abilities during level-ups in subsequent runs. You can purchase them in the main menu at the vending machine. Besides guns and perks, you can also buy soundtracks and cosmetics. The game is fun and features nice Synthwave/Retrowave visuals and music styles. Definitely worth to check it.

An excellent rogue-survivor with a very cool art style and is a solid deal at $5. In a sea of survivor-type games, I at least appreciate the fact that it has a unique look and a slapping soundtrack. This one and Slime 3k (and of course deep rock galactic: survivor) have been my favorites recently and anyone looking at this should pick it up.

Shows potential. Make it more linear, clear and accessible: 1. Like many of these games: starts with good perks and you unlock perks you don't want in the rotation because they screw you over and so you actually end up doing the best with the initial setup of weapons and skills. 2. The gating of game features through the bouncer is stupid. Autoaim should just be a menu item etc. 3. Add a little bit more clarity for the colors, e.g. the carriages that shoot slow projectiles are super easy to miss among the bullet hell. 4. Allow banning from rotation at will as long as 1. is not true.

I think the name Tim is the funniest name ever. The wife does not. I bought this game just to annoy her with Tim. 10/10

5/10 would be a 'meh' review if they existed. The game has very cool style and atmosphere, but for the price it is exceptionally shallow with a lack of variety and almost no progression. Has far too much grind as well, for example after beating the 1st arena, you then have to grind to actually pay for the item to access the 2nd arena that is now unlocked. Over here, we call that a 'dild0 move'

One of the good survivor-likes. I can recommend this one!

awesome game love the artstyle and the spin it takes on the vampire survivor-like genre only critique is it is kind of unoptimized in a certain way with all the effects going on on screen it can become choppy at times for a 2d game
