NEUROXUS

Playing through the first mission yielded a very low tutorial, offering vague instructions on how the game functions or how to actually play it, leaving a lot of that up to the player. I find the game to have entertaining gameplay, but it lacks a lot of the action that it could've had. The enemies feel empty, and the bosses in the game are very apparent solely due to having high damage numbers. Boss attacks are extremely unpredictable which adds a view of extremely fast pacing forcing movement outside of the typical dodge mechanic forcing the play to hold the spacebar and move out of the way for anything, since that's the fastest way to get out of the way. The games systems are not described well and introduce multiple upgrade systems that, as a player, are slightly difficult to keep track of. I feel the game has high potential as a ramping difficulty scaling action roguelike. I will continue to play this game and will try to learn the systems in it. I also dont plan on refunding this game since I understand how much time goes into creating any game in general. I wish this games developer continues to add more features and more content to the game. Things I like I personally like the gameplay aspects, it feels fast and and highly mobile anybody who has played any of the armored core games can quickly adapt. I enjoy the upgrading elements and the ability to customize your build between select options but early in the game I don't understand what the upgrades are actually doing. model and map design is very pretty to the eye it feels like I'm playing a retro game that's been modernized to fit resolution scaling and capable of fast actions. Things I don't like There can be a lot going on (this is not a problem) between reading subtitles, checking shields/health, checking cooldowns, managing ammo reserves, tracking enemies, and so on. A lot of things isn't a problem, but I personally would like to see a method of the UI that allows everything to easily be tracked while watching for incoming threats. The next mechanic I'm not necessarily a fan of is the decryption puzzles throughout the game, while they are unique it's a forced break from the action in order to get your next upgrade that can require a tiny chunk of time in order to solve it. While combat is fun larger projectiles or enemies about to launch devastative attacks can add a thrill its very unpredictable, the first bosses combat makes sure you know it is a boss. High damage numbers, additional units to monitor on your UI and corner placed captions adds to even more elements to be aware of when trying to understand the games story. One minor issue I had was the ammo drops, I ended up messing up due to grabbing all surrounding ammo crates unknowing I was at max capacity essentially wasting ammo forcing me to result to using melee combat for the rest of the boss fight. the last issue I found in the game was movement, using traditional WASD, space bar, and shift for movement keys I notice it will lock you into "strafe" movement, this is fine, fast game needs fast movement. Wondering what "standard" movement was I began pressing buttons and checking the settings menu to find arrow keys are your standard movement, but... standard movement doesn't work. There will be standard movement walking animations played and looped but you will remain stagnant and in place, (funny little bug to report). Last issue I have is the upgrading systems for equipment that wasn't easily described for taught how to use. In conclusion this game is fun, I recommend it to anybody looking for an indie experience sharing similarities with other armored core/mech games. Finding it on a day one release on a boring night was an interesting play, I'm now supporting this developer and wish them and game well with hopes to see more content and a helpful new player experience to lock in newcomers to a fun experience. I plan on periodically playing through this game more and will update this review if any of my view points change throughout. Best of luck Empyreum Studio I wish you and all of your work well!

For a game made by a single developer, this is actually pretty solid. It’s clearly inspired by the Armored Core series, with heavy use of neon lighting and an OST that feels like old school space EDM, similar to the earlier HALO games. I’m not usually a fan of overly bright neon visuals, but that’s clearly part of the game’s identity, so it’s not something I can really fault it for. Unfortunately, the UI design is where the experience falls apart for me. A lot of the text is difficult to read either it’s too small and cluttered, poorly placed (forcing me to look away from the center of the screen), or it blends into the background due to color choices. This is especially disappointing because I genuinely want to like the game, but the UI issues were distracting enough that they completely killed my motivation to keep playing. That said, I can see how some players might not be bothered by this at all. The price itself isn’t bad, and I’d recommend it if you’re itching for something similar to Armored Core and enjoy fast-paced mecha combat. Just don’t go in expecting everything to be perfectly smooth or completely bug-free.

First of all, this is awesome for a solo developer. Pat yourself on the back. I have played the first 3 missions only so far and plan on playing more. The only real gripe I have is that hits don't feel impactful enough which leads to some enemies feeling a little spongy and makes the game not feel quite as good as it looks. However, the actual combat flow and mechanics are very sound and I am finding myself hitting moments of flow state the more I play. If you like AC-like Mecha combat and want a roguelite twist on it, this is your game. Put some more time in it, but am not feeling the desire to finish. The gameplay itself is pretty good, that's not really the issue here. The primary issues I have that are preventing me from wanting to continue are: - Little to no weapon impact so weapons never feel powerful - Weapons don't sound powerful either - Soundtrack is very understated to the point where it detracts from immersion - Run upgrades are only % modifiers which gets repetitive - Preset mecha gets repetitive even as you unlock new weapons Overall there are good bones here and this is an awesome first game. It's just missing some polish and a little sauce. I look forward to your next game and will likely come back and finish Neuroxus if it gets an update addressing the issues. Thank you for making this!

[h2] ネオンビジュアルが輝くAC風味ロボゲー [/h2] アーマード・コアにインスパイアされて、トロン風な味付けがなされたインディーロボゲー。 プレイヤーは最後の戦闘機械として、人類を滅ぼした量子AI「ネクシス」を破壊するという目的を達成するために立ちふさがる様々な敵やトラップを突破しながら各ステージを突き進んでいく事となります。 最初の内は通常ステージでも少し苦戦するかも知れませんが、何度もトライしていけばそのうち強化スキルや新しい武器を獲得できるので、「段々強くなっていく楽しみ」を味わいたい方にはオススメできるロボゲーです。　あとアーマード・コアシリーズ経験者にも。 [spoiler] ステージ1-2でアンロックされる右肩のプラズマレインアレイは早めに強化しておくのが吉だと思います。 [/spoiler] 何度かアップデートされてチェックポイントの問題や画面の見やすさも改善されているので、むしろ今から遊ぶ方が快適だと思われます。　いずれは日本語にも対応していただけると個人的にはありがたいです。 このレビューを見た貴方も、是非とも地球最後の守護者として覚醒し、人類を滅ぼした機械・Nexisに立ち向かってみてください。 あっ、最後に注意点として、このゲームを遊ぶ際は部屋を明るくしてモニターからできるだけ離れて楽しんでくださいね。 [spoiler] ただし初期バージョンよりも雑魚敵の体力が増えてしまっているので、敵が大量に出現する場面ではだいぶキツくなっております。　具体的にはルーセントエッジやロケットランチャーで一撃だったのが数回当てないと倒せないようになってます。　爽快感という面では正直魅力が半減していると思います…。 それとグローバル実績を見る限りではステージ4以降をクリアしている方がほとんどいないので、もしかしたら開発者は残念ながら全クリさせるつもりがないかも知れないです…。　今からプレイされる方はちょっとだけ覚悟して臨んでくださいませ…🎮️ [/spoiler]

Very fun. Armored Core but with roguelike upgrade choices instead of building your mech. The style really works for me. I like the combo of low poly but with lots of flashing colors.

As a mech fan, this is awesome. There is a severe lack of mech games out there, especially Armored Core like games. This was an instant buy for me and I've only gotten through a couple of level so far, but I've enjoyed it. It isn't by any means at the same level as the recent AC6, but as a solo-dev game, this is fantastic. There are some things that can be improved upon: more customization and less "skill tree" type stuff, but I'm honestly looking forward to whatever you make next. Well done and thank you!

I enjoyed what I was able to play - satisfying combat with fluid movement and a nice range of weaponry - but sadly the game spontaneously wiped my save. As it happened at random, seemingly not caused by anything, I can't justify continuing to play (or recommend that anyone else plays it) when the same thing could happen again any time.

[h1] 优秀的类装甲核心作品，潜力十足的独立佳作，尚需细节打磨 [/h1] 作为一款由单人开发者打造的机甲题材游戏，本作的整体表现足以让人眼前一亮。处处都透着《装甲核心》系列的影子，妥妥的机甲爱好者特攻。另外战斗节奏明快、机动性拉满，机甲的操作手感丝滑流畅，任何玩过《装甲核心》的玩家都能快速上手。 但不可否认的是，作为一款首发作品，游戏仍存在不少需要打磨的细节。首先就是游戏引导与系统说明的缺失。本作的新手教程极为简略，仅用模糊的文字带过核心机制，不管是战斗技巧还是升级系统，都需要玩家自行摸索（而且本作没有官中，对于英语不熟练的玩家玩起来会更难受）。多种升级体系并行的设定本是亮点，但由于没有明确的功能说明，玩家很难猜到不同升级选项的作用。其次，敌方单位的设计略显空洞，缺乏独特的攻击逻辑与辨识度，首领战的压迫感又完全依赖高额伤害数值堆砌，缺少独特的攻击模式或阶段变化。 综上所述，本作作为首发定价仅36.4元，对于追求《装甲核心》风格机甲战斗的玩家而言，绝对值得一试。 [quote] 关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44791929/]游戏好声音[/url]，认真品味好游戏，倾听游戏好声音。 [/quote]

[h1]简介[/h1] 装甲核心的战斗，极具夸张的霓虹特效，还有爆炸撕裂的摇滚音乐。《NEUROXUS》这是一款第三人称的科幻动作射击游戏，十分可惜的是游戏没有官中，因为是科幻背景，一些简单的英语储备可能不够看的，希望还是能有官中的推进，好在任务设计的十分的简单，基本都是去哪里杀什么机器人，一共有十多个不同残酷程度的任务击碎敌人，不然任务引导、任务完成方式会因为语言的问题导致理解困难。 [h1]玩法[/h1] 游戏操作还算简单，控制攻击一应俱全，不过手感这块都挺一般的，而且动作的类型也不够丰富，非常的模式化，敌人设计的一般，基本就是送的，boss战还好，需要稍微费点劲，但本作的闪避使用覆盖范围非常的大，又强的一批，没冷却没精力限制，无脑使用就能吊打绝大部分的战斗场面。啊对了，在战斗场景中还会穿插一些解谜小彩蛋调剂，基本上就是打开关什么的。 [h1]特色[/h1] 游戏的设计毫不避讳对《装甲核心》、《创世纪》的喜爱，高速的移动战斗特性非常的刺激，玩了就很难停下来，不过这类游戏的升级和配置使用了非常多的英语专业名词，这让其他语言的玩家面对这些从最基本的理解都很难下手，而且一些系统的选项也没什么说明，机甲的养成是由多个系统构成的，这样玩家很难对其理解和使用。还在游戏的难度并不高，在有闪避这么逆天的能力下，保持不死，对方的死就是时间问题，因为看不懂这些升级和可自定义的配置的地方，很难让机甲等到相应的提升好面对之后的战斗，所以闪避流是现阶段唯一可玩的方式。 [h1]总结[/h1] 总的来说，对于喜欢《装甲核心》、《创世纪》的玩家肯定能在这款游戏中找到属于自己的乐趣。如果能增加本地化，让更多人的看明白有关升级元素和机甲的自定义配置选项这块，就能理解明白游戏的这块玩法，同时也会继续挖掘有关游戏更深度更有层次的养成方面，毕竟机甲的模型设计和地图还是很不错的，在现代化和复古之间找到一个不错的平衡，让新老玩家都能有合适的点，这是优点，必须得夸。但这个前提是希望能有官中，减少游戏的理解门槛，不要被语言所桎。 [quote] 关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44791929/]游戏好声音[/url]，认真品味好游戏，倾听游戏好声音。 [/quote]
