Bounty of One

The optimization is simply not where it needs to be. I’m running a 5700X3D paired with a 9070XT, and whenever the screen fills with projectiles or effects (and I mean a ton of projectiles at higher level), the framerate collapses to 10–15 FPS. I’ve played plenty of action roguelites, and none of them have tanked performance this hard. The game also lacks modern visual‑clarity options—no effect transparency, no tools to manage visual clutter—so it’s easy to end up with a screen so full of effects that you can’t see anything. The game is extremely easy, to the point where losing is almost impossible unless you get unlucky with chest drops. Enemy scaling is also poorly implemented, mob strength caps just a few levels after the final boss, regardless of how high your character level goes. This makes the ranking system feel pointless, why compete when you can literally walk away from the keyboard and still end up in first place? Given how quickly performance degrades as more projectiles appear, I genuinely don’t understand how multiplayer is supposed to be enjoyable. If the framerate tanks this hard in solo play, I can only imagine how chaotic it becomes with multiple players generating effects simultaneously. The game feels like it’s still in early access. It needs significant balancing, some skills are a joke, performance improvements, and quality‑of‑life features before it can stand alongside other modern roguelites. There’s potential here, but right now it’s buried under technical issues and shallow difficulty scaling.

the fact that the upgrade dialog isnt transparent and you cant see where your game stopped is so unbelievably annoying. i dont know how many times i died because the upgrade blocked all of the view and on unpause you just get murdered by a projectile flying mach5 and hits exactly 0.1 ms after the temporary shield.. always the reason the game gets closed again.

The stop-to-shoot rule adds real tactical friction instead of the usual kite-everything-in-a-circle strategy. Each character carries a distinct starting weapon and stat spread, the difficulty curve is paced well enough to keep pulling a run forward. It definitely delivers that dopamine punch from becoming unstoppable and immortal with constant level ups and upgrades. Sadly, the base movement feels sluggish next to genre standard-bearers like Vampire Survivors and there's no loot indicator or map to track down chests missed mid-run. Verdict: Buy it. Grab a few friends for the local co-op if you can, and turn off your brain for those sweet, sweet dopamine hits. Full review and more at: https://thebacklog.online/
