Build your own bullethell and swipe the foes out. [ACT] VS系。独特のドット絵にピンと来たなら選択の余地あり、セールを狙え。

Cute aesthetics, solid early access foundation, successfully executing the easy to obsess over formula aka most important of all: fun 100% worth the price & very promising. Very small upgrade and ability arsenal, and too easy at the moment though. Hoping more is done for Idle Maku to blaze it's own trail & carve out it's own niche.

Just so you are aware - This game is a Vampire Survivors clone, and an inferior one at that. The gameplay and flow of the combat is pretty much the same. From what I saw, even the boss waves on the first map were similar. The way you level up was nearly the same and some items are quite similar (the dagger, whip, and electric ring most notably) If you haven't played Vampire Survivors just play that game instead - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1794680/Vampire_Survivors/ it's the same price - 2.99 - and has more content. If you have already played Vampire Survivors, then consider Idle Maku a downgraded version with a re-skin. As for the content depth - At the time of this comment, there are only 5 upgrade options in the main menu, so that should give you an idea.

first time trying the genre and I'm liking it so far. It's just hard enough to keep me playing and I keep getting farther!

This game cured my ligma

i love it its like vampire survivers, but with more bullet hell enemies, the peashooter guys are a pain.

It's a classic fun arcade game. If this was at Round One or Dave and Busters you would see all your friends fighting for the high score.

Maku is yet another of literally hundreds of lazy amateur 2D retro pixel Vampire Survivors ripoffs infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This one does have an element of top down brawling as well as you apparently get to make some attacks, but the quality here is still deplorably low. At least it's not an asset flip? (because the assets are so bad no self respecting asset creator would publish them). The game was abandoned roughly 5 months after launch and hasn't been updated in 9 months. It blew past the developers commitment to complete the game without any notification or admission of failure from the developer. The game will never be completed. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 10 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Another unethical act of this developer, knowing full well that this game is abandoned and they will never complete it, they are deliberately trying to scam gamers into buying it by offering it on discount and selling keys to the game from third party key resellers. It's impossible to "accidentally" discount a game. The developer looked at their abandoned game, and instead of doing the right thing and removing it from Steam, they instead doubled-down and tried to scam even more people into paying for it. Greedy, and completely unethical. Doing the wrong thing, on purpose, for money. This is not okay. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Maku is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]
