Bore Blasters is a digging / mining / roguelite game in which you shoot blocks, venture deep down into the ground, hunt for gems, and complete small missions. You then upgrade your ship with your found gold to complete more difficult missions. There are 3 characters to play as and each have his / her own style of play with strengths and weeknesses. The game took just over 20 hours to complete 100%. + The gameplay (mostly) never got stale in my 20 hours of playing. Shooting blocks and trying out various strategies to complete missions was always fun. There are many different weapon combos that when used together can make for ultimate destruction. + The writing and banter of the dwarves / goblins was always entertaining. + Very addicting. + Great soundtrack / music. + The game is long. + Fun boss fights - The later missions of the game, I would say hours 18-20 near the end, can feel a bit repetitive. - Could have used a few more boss fights and enemy variety. - Could have used more of a variety of missions objectives. Excellent game for lovers of digging / mining games. Overall: 8.5/10
Solid core, but held back by some poor design choices. Would be a 10/10 if there was an actual “adventure” mode with mission-based levels that aren’t distractingly held back by forced rogue-like re-runs. The missions are cute, I wish they appeared more intentionally. As it is, I can’t tell what’s a random side thing and what’s the story, and being torn between “finishing the dig” or risking focusing on a mission (and running out of fuel) feels bad. The rogue-like per run random loadouts are fun when they work and incredibly frustrating when they don’t. I wish I was spending gems on meaningful loadouts and not boring HP-go-up, DPS-go-up, fuel-go-up currency sinks.
Meh, this was okay, a mixed review. It plays like what the Trailer does. And at least it's not lying to you. However, don't let the Review fools you, It gets boring real fast, Since you're doing the same thing over and over again, and the grind is kinda insane. You don't really need this game, You may wait for a deep sale to get it. 4/10
Gran juego de mineria, bastante adictivo. Te vas haciendo paso entre las rocas disparando, hay gemas que te dan oro para comprar mejoras, diversos enemigos y 3 personajes elegibles con diferente habilidad. Son runs que consisten en ir desbloqueando planetas con ecosistemas diferentes. Recomendado.
more like bored blasters. i played this while working, which is the only reason i have as much time as i do. far before you finish the game, the fun stops too. grindy and repetitive, the best unlocks happen way too early. the mission designs are the same thing, the enemies are the same, there is way too much game here for how little content there is. every single mission is the exact same and none of the upgrades feel good. they are all stat dumps and very small ones at that.
Preço baixo, viciante. E um rogue like criativo. Combate de helicoptero que voa pra baixo, perfurando solo, e matando criaturas enquanto minera. Não faz o menor sentido, e nem é pra fazer, só é divertido.
I always wanted a game like this when I was a child and would simulate a digging game using an old paint program on the Atari ST called NEOchrome. Now I get to play an actual title with those elements and so much now. Hurray!
the difficulty is all over the place, the level structure makes no sense , upgrades are slow and take some grinding for. but despite all that the game play is super fun, and give it some time to ramp up and you'll get your money's worth easy.
I love this game. It's a chill miner / shooter that I've really enjoyed just playing. It plays great with just a controller. Some games will have some super weapon that you really have to use a mouse for, but this one is all aim. I keep coming back to this game after I play some Dome Keeper or clone. Would like to find another game like this.
Fun and entertaining little game that I got for 8$. I particularly like the music. I managed to complete the game and all achievements in about 15 hours. I'm only missing the 7 daily runs achievement. Some cons: - The gameplay is a bit repetitive and the quests are all quite similar. - I found the volcano biome a bit overwhelming with the fireballs. - You can almost 1-shot bosses with the missile special ability.
