好游戏，虽然辜负了我的期待，但是很好

Posted on 2021/04/09 I plan on checking up and editing my review of this when it releases fully I'm just going to put it out there... It's a $2 Early Access Game that was recently scrapped and rebuilt. My gathering of that is that this game isn't abandoned like so many other early access games, and they're practically begging for you to discuss your experience and give suggestions so they can make the game better. The description they give is okay for it's like; I definitely felt some Binding of Issac vibes, but it's not filled with gore. I didn't really feel much Metroid vibes except that they're both side-scrolling platformers shooters. There are upgrades, but it's not something you use to unlock new areas and nothing is absolutely necessary to progress. Pros It's easy to control (I use a controller for gaming most of the time because I'm so used to being a console gamer). I saw a couple other reviews talk about the controls being bad, but I thought the controls felt comfortable on a controller The atmosphere is pleasing I accidentally stumbled into secrets I wasn't expecting Smooth gameplay Cons It's very small for a Roguelike. Three levels and you complete the run, so there is a major lack of content (But again, it's $2) It's very easy. I explored the entirety of the levels and won on my first run. Maybe it was the exceptionally overpowered item I got after beating the first boss that made fire heal me instead of hurt me paired with having almost nothing but fire creatures the rest of the run (even the last boss). The difficulty should be hard to start so you have to essentially grind and unlock perks that permanently effect future runs. As it is right now, the only thing pulling me for a replay is that there's a beast version after you beat the human part. Bugs I play with a PS4 controller with the gyro sensor disabled. Everything is labeled as an Xbox controller (which is fine, it's not hard to realize this) but the grab button says RT and it's L2 on the controller (Where LT is on an Xbox controller) You and enemies can shoot through solid ground if it's the edge of it When you drop an item, it continuously falls from where you drop it for a second, then teleports back up and falls over and over. You can not pick it back up either. Suggestions The menu is possible to use, but it's a mess. If you could scroll through your equipped items outside of the menu, that would make it so much better. I couldn't do that with controller (If it's already possible, I may just be an idiot) Maybe using L1/R1 or making the dpad into macros instead of a movement option. Unlocks that give higher tier items from game plays over level progression. What I mean is having items locked until you complete enough of the game to unlock them (like having items that make you insanely powerful locked until you die ten times, or beat human mode. Definitely more levels for a run/more varying rooms. I'm not super fond of grinding games, but it's a necessity for roguelikes. I beat this in less than an hour while exploring. A map? If the game was expanded and make more grindy, I could see it easily competing with games like Dead Cells and Enter the Gungeon and it would be understandable having a higher price tag with that content. As it is right now, it's definitely worth playing for the price, but don't expect an insane amount of content for the same price as a candy bar
