--------------------------------------- Updated review at 6 hours: --------------------------------------- I was finally able to finish a run without dying at ~4.5 hours. This unlocked endless mode and a few other challanges. The game is very fun - super intense. So you basically ,kick down doors, shoot\melee enemies and run for your life. Has a very cute dog between floors and pretty much a very "I like edgy stuff in the cute way" vibe. The game is pretty unforgiving too but still very satisfying when you get the controls down. Easy to get into flow. Highly recommended. --------------------------------------- Original review at ~1.5 hours: --------------------------------------- Super fun and easy to get in to, the game is very hard but times flies. The dog is super cute and is a great touch to the insanity going on. Love the style and theme.
some would say it's a bit CRUEL in how it throws the player right into the action, but i'd say its fitting for the genre! lots of fun lowk dissapointed it doesnt have levels, but perhaps because I'm not the biggest fan of these so called rouge like lights game things!

Прикольная игруха. Бодрый, драйвовый бумер шутер на пару вечеров. Ваша задача махом пробежать 10 этажей. При прямых руках, животных рефлексах и/или определенной прокачке, вы можете их пробежать за 30 минут (Считайте, пройти игру). Плюсы: -Атмосфера. -Окружение. -Звук. -Стрельба и мувмент. -Довольно неплохое музло, похожее на некоторые треки из Hotline Miami. -Игра погружает в состояние потока. Минусы: -Как рогалик игра полная х_йня и з_лупа. -Перков очень мало, да и в целом разнообразия. -Комнаты генерируются +/- одинаково, враги на них тоже. -Пушки вы постепенно получаете по мере прохождения этажей, орудия ближнего боя тоже появляются постепенно (Например, на первых этажах будут только биты, кирпичи и куски трубы, далее будут появляться ножи, гаечные ключи и т.п.).
So yeah this game was made for me

Muy entretenido, me hace recordar el juego doom.
I loved this game, came at just the right time for me. Cruel is really straight-forward and simple, but it's a blast to play. It's one of those games you could probably have installed all the time to just return to whenever you had an itch. Getting started or resuming play is really quick, and it has a nice gameplay loop where things just flow perfectly. Most of it comes down to running down halls and shooting everything that moves, with a satisfying blend of some melee options. The weapons are limited so there isn't too much to learn; and it just takes practice to get good at headshots, knowing when to melee, when to throw, and how to move. When I first started it, I loved the style and graphics; and I loved the OST a ton. Even the kind of edgy writing is amusing to me, because it's not like the concept is really high class. Kind of reminds me of Postal. When you've finished the "main" roguelike part of the game, there's quite a lot of replayability because the gameplay is so good. Even more, you can try endless mode, no healing, or melee only. I would have liked to have a customization option so I could do like endless with progressive perks, or perfection with perks. Overall, I just wish there was MORE altogether. More enemies, more perks, more options. I definitely felt like I got what I paid for, but I wish it was a larger game rather than only an arcade-style. Still, I think it gets work on it occasionally, and it would take a long time to get all the achievements, so this one is definitely worth it.

The game is fun but the tips are cringe (it can be modded).
