Entomophobia

Great for its price. Had an hour of fun, blasted some bugs. If you're thinking of picking it up - don't rely too much on your main weapon, the passive ability (swatter) on the starting character rotates counter-clockwise and deals good damage. Use that to power up fast in the early game and get new abilities, otherwise it will feel slow

This game with its very pixelated, blurred graphics, funny sound effects and silly weapons give a realy strange gameplay experience. Alot of small details on maps and main weapon ammo reload visual. On every levelup you can choose a passive effect then next an active skill. Every character have a special weapon and you can choose a ranged firearm as secondary. All weapons and skills auto-shoot-aim as we used to it in this genre. There is enough progress to unlock with Meta passives, characters and weapons. Recommended little silly game. Edit Note: The game recently changed to Unity 6, therefore it do NOT run on Win7/8/8.1 by default, only on Win10/11 and likely Linux. Hopefuly the Dev update Store Page accordingly.

Fun game with good pixel art. Mechanics & abilities work pretty well with each other & it's fun to survive until you're OP

Poor Vampire Survivors clone. +Some player choice -Dreadful music -Visuals -UX/UI = Disappointed. I would not recommend the game for myself, so I won't do it to you either.

Survivors-like (aka bullet heaven) are some of my favorite video game genres, that often they tempt me to invest many hours in them, with the exception of Entomophobia. I rarely drop games, but Entomophobia was so bad that it forced me to do that. The lack of content variety, the unbearable difficulty and the annoying glitches are some of the reasons I dislike this game. It's especially low in quality when in comparison with the top games of this genre, like Vampire Survivors and HoloCure. You can see in detail below what's really bad about Entomophobia. - Bad UI, very incompatible with controller layout (the interface glitches every single time). - Pixel art overall is bad looking, all models look magnified and very low resolution. - Unfair difficulty: most runs feel RNG, I tried different combinations of weapons and characters, but I seem to lose 90% of the time. Permanent upgrades don't seem to power up your characters, I noticed no changes in the gameplay. - Lack of tutorials: there are these "worms" that apparently fight by your side, but it's not mentioned anywhere in the game what exactly they are and how they work. Same thing for other statistics, like "zap target" and "heal damage". - Badly optimized: when the screen is swarmed by enemies and gems, the game starts lagging. When you pick up the gold beetle (an item to collect all at once every gems on the map), the game freezes for 2-5 seconds. By the way, my PC runs Vampire Survivors without an issue. - No endless mode: basically all levels are survive till the 20-minute mark and game over, that's it. Not even a final stage boss or bonus currency for beating the level. I bought Entomophobia because it was quite cheap on sale, but even if it were free I wouldn't recommend it. It's unpleasant to play a game in this messy state.
