Eldritch Exterminators

Simple but a good challenge

Pretty great game with fun build diversity and great devs. Always excited for new content. Only thing negative I can say is that if you pick up any splinter/split upgrades the game turns to a slide show.

This game has promise, but it should not have been released in the state it presently is in, even as Early Access. It's clearly the dev's first effort, and it's commendable in a lot of ways; the bones of a good game are here. But there are multiple bugs, some game-breaking, as well as some serious design flaws and even a few "first-time game maker" mistakes (like not checking for bullet collision along the bullet's path each frame, only where the bullet actually ends up, causing high-speed bullets to literally teleport through enemies instead of hitting them). It's out, and I'm not going to ask for a refund because I think the dev will do right eventually, but I hope that people will take it to heart that Early Access is for beta releases, not alpha releases. I will change my review to a recommend when the game has reached a state of completion where I can in good conscience recommend it. EDIT: after a couple rounds of mechanical and visual upgrades by the dev, I think the game is at a point where the price is justified. Things work the way they should, with a few minor bugs still present here and there, and the systems have been overhauled to feel less unbalanced. Controller mapping is still an issue, but it's not a deal-breaker and the dev intends to add it; and in the meantime the reworking of auto-aim and auto-fire has taken a lot of the pain from playing with a controller. Worth a look if you like this kind of game, and it's likely to continue improving.
