CICADAMATA"

I really enjoyed this game, its pretty similar to neon white and its basic movement kinda reminds me of ultrakill, but its different enough to be its own game. The high energy breakcore music is great and really gets you in the flow as you play the levels and the "blocky" artstyle while simple makes the game more charming. My only complaints would be: 1 - That the scoring system is kinda boring, as it doesnt really reward you for speed or quick kills, but instead giving you more points for mindlessly stomping every enemy possible 2 - Crashing, im not sure if it just happened to me but i would experience a lot of crashing on my playthrough, specially on 5-3 and on 6-1 3 - The ULTIMATA achievement(which requires 33,333 kills across the game) is completely unreasonable, after i finished the game and got all other achievements i had around 7k kills, and took me around 10h of mindlessly farming to finally get it 4 - This one could be just skill issue, but a lot of times i would straight up not know where i should be going and get lost in the levels, also the enemy placement in some levels seemed pretty random, but again, could just be skill issue But overall i would really recommend this game! As we probably will never get a neon white 2 i kinda thought i would never get another game to scratch that itch, but cicadamata was the perfect game for that!

OBLIGATIONS NO LONGER BIND YOU. THIS IS WHO YOU ARE NOW. TEAR FLESH FROM BONE.

If you like Ultrakill you will probably like this game. The movement is extremely fluid and feels like there could be some cool techs but I haven't figured them out yet.

I rarely leave reviews but feel like this game deserves way more attention so here I go CICADAMATA is a movement FPS similar to Neon White - you traverse through the stages quickly as you collect four cores and extract, while killing enemies along the way. Controls are incredibly simple: triple jump, dash, stomp (vertical dive) and one gun with basic shotgun spread as primary and zoomed hitscan shot as secondary. Overall a pretty basic premise, but what elevates CICADAMATA to the peak of gaming excitement is the smooth yet heartpounding gameplay and unique presentation. It is a sensory overload in the best possible way. Crunchy sound effects, amazing OST, gorgeous artstyle (slightly nuMarathon coded but closer to PS1 era graphics and style like Wipeout) and tight, fast gameplay. It is short but I feel that it works in favor as the game is so intense it would be exhausting if it was 10 hours long. There is still a ton of replayability if you are a completionist and want to get DMND rank on every stage. Which brings me to only nitpick really which is the scoring system. Score is weighted a lot towards farming points on enemies with ZONE buff rather than speedrunning. Of course you still need a route locked in for the time bonus, I just found efficently chaining enemies for speed boosts/ability refreshes much more satisfying. The only suggestion to the wonderful developer I have is to implement a level builder for community to make and share maps as it would go a long way towards longevity. At the present it is an extremely satisfying experience well worth the low asking price. Overall 10/10, video games are back yo

this is true marathon
