Mongrel

Let me start this off by saying, Im 40, and I kinda live a little distanced to odd humor... But yet here is this beautiful, unnerving, wonderful, weird, and yet to be finished game. I greatly enjoy the main protagonist as he reminds me a bit of Chrono triggers, Glen. The art style reminds me of superjail, and the voices were as if they ripped someone from Adult Swim.. Its on point odd humor. The fighting system is really interesting as its vastly different than any game on my list. Massive plus. The movement mechanics are literally tighter than a clam shell. Ive spent about 5 hours in the game, with 2 of those hours just running around and having fun. Can not wait to see Whats in store whats in store whats really in store... (kinda super lame joke from someoen in the game) Just buy it and play it. Feel enjoyably ashamed.

Good potential and unique world with weird and interesting characters. But so far the game feels a bit too little and repetitive for the full price. Will be looking forward to updates! PS: The first boss is ♥♥♥♥.

HIPA HOPA! Loving it, a very solid early access build with great gameplay + voice acting, has had me laughing at my screen like a goober. I recommend to all and am excited to see what the future holds for Mongrel!! BogOrk Forever xox

I had such high hopes for Mongrel. It definitely looks like my sort of game. It is a run and gun metroidvania with dark (sometimes toilet-style) humor. That being said, I just could not get past the control scheme. For me, metroidvanias are best played with a controller, and Mongrel (at least not at the time of this writing) does not offer good controller support. There are vital controls missing from the controller layout, and what is there, doesn't feel good. It controls alright with a mouse and keyboard, but at times, the mouse and keyboard controls feel just okay at best and clunky at worst. If Mongrel got some good controller support, I believe that it could be an amazing game, especially at its price point; however, in its current state, I cannot recommend it.

The weirdness certainly makes it worth playing. Not since the binding of isaac have you seen this many dead babies and feces in close proximity together. But the actual gameplay is very boring. After the opening sequence that was very fun and weird, you are flushed down into the actual roguelike part where you just have to clear randomly generated rooms of enemies. Those rooms start repeating very fast and so do the enemies with them not having any amount of variety or challenge to them. Movement and gun play are fine, but the small rooms don't actually utilze a moveset where you can sprint faster than doom. Also the range on attaching to flies is too short which makes vertical climbing not flow togther as well as it could. Needs a lot of work but is promissing.

many stability issues, frequently crashes in random "load zones" (theres nothing telling you the game is loading just a black screen, and pray it doesnt crash!).

30 second load screens between each area.

It's a weird game, but its good. For how cheap it is, it is definitely worth your time
