Nongünz

Sehr awkward, prinzipiell eine coole und kryptische Idee - vermischt einige Genres und erklärt dir quasi NICHTS, die Grundideen sind eigentlich voll mein Ding, aber.. das Spiel selbst ist einfach.. boring, ein basic 2d Platformer/Shooter, der mich einfach nicht genug Spaß macht um die ganzen Mechaniken und Konzepte dahinter zu lernen, schade Anscheinend ist es nicht mehr im Store erhältlich, daher sehr kurze Review

I don’t like to call other people pretentious. Really, I don’t. [i]Mulholland Drive[/i] is one of my favourite movies, and you bet your ass I’m going to cheekily imply that I understand what it’s about whenever it’s brought up, even though my guess is as good as that of somebody who hasn’t seen it. So, when I say that [i]Nongünz[/i] is a pretentious game, you can believe I’m not saying it lightly and that the developers of this farcical mess have done something really ridiculous to drive me to that point. For one thing, the game doesn’t have any dialogue or text. No dialogue? Fine! Some of the best games have little to no dialogue and can still be effective. No text? “Surely he infers that there is simply no diegetic text!”, I hear you exclaim, but this is not the case. [i]Nongünz[/i] literally doesn’t have any text after the title screen. Button prompts appear as mysterious symbols that don’t actually correspond with what you need to press. You run around collecting cards with mysterious symbols on them. Instead of text, the pause menu has mysterious symbols to make sure you know that even something as innocuous as changing the video settings must be a dark journey into the minds of madness. The game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks, basically. Even if it was not made deliberately stupid and unfun by this whole gimmick, it’s a side-scrolling shooter where you can control your aim only by holding a button to lie on the ground and face directly up. Never in my life have I cared less about learning a game’s mechanics, but even if I wanted to understand what was going on, I don’t think the deliberately opaque and artsy interface would have allowed me to. Maybe the best game ever made is under here somewhere, deep beneath mountains of derivative gameplay and smug, masturbatory fan-fiction, but somehow I doubt it. The graphics are nice, though.

The style of the game while different, more retro feel, doesn't do it for me. Only played a bit, but the enemies seem tanky, and while sometimes no feedback is good or well done, I personally feel that it's poorly done in this game. The screen sometimes glitches, why? You tell me. There are windows you can interact with that seem to full heal you but take you to the start of the level again, why? punish you for trying things when the game doesn't tell you anything i guess. I will say though when i found the quit game button and was met with a person in some room I was pretty shocked. I'm not sure why its not longer available on sale on Steam? I don't think its bad, someone would enjoy this type of game. Edit: I now see that you can exit the level early with the windows and go spend your points at the weapons shrine, also this version of the game is not on sale anymore, cause there is another one coming soon called Nongunz Doppelganger Edition, which just by looking at screenshots doesn't have any changes? I would like to know what the differences are, other than they changed they description of the game to "a mix of cookie clicker and Binding of Isaac" from what is on this version of the game, Where its a "nihilistic action platformer, that is obscure, and is a riddle that demands sacrifice."Its like they are now trying to draw people in to the exact same game like oh look its cookie clicker and Isaac, sike. If anyone knows feel free to let me know. I like the mystery that the game is going for but I don't like the art style personally, and the complete lack of direction hurts it as a whole.

[h1]Follow our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36214917/]Curator Group for more reviews[/url][/h1] Nongünz is a combination of a roguelike, similar to Spelunky, and an idle game. It also has a purposefully obtuse interface, featuring no words at all. You are intended to figure the game out as you play, with many mechanics not even being hinted at. This creates a weird type of game, in which it is extremely niche, due to it being an idle game mixed with a roguelike, but it is also very unclear what the game is at first glance. It is a recipe for disappointed customers, as not many people will enjoy this specific combo of game mechanics, but it is hidden from them until they have already purchased the game. Overall, it is a unique game that probably only appeals to a very specific audience. I would recommend it to anyone who thinks they might like an idle-roguelike, but the average player won't enjoy this as much. 6/10

If you happen to see this, they are reworking the game, its called Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition

Ostia no sé por qué no le tenía puesta una review a Nongünz pero es muy buena mierda esta. Acabo de hacer una búsqueda rápida en Steam y veo que el motivo por el que no le tenía puesta review a este Nongünz es porque ahora hay otro Nongünz distinto y este en concreto está delisteado, pero yo qué sé, este es al que yo jugué back in the day (mucho más de lo que sugieren las horas de Steam, porque me metí por el culo otra versión). Ahora que lo pienso, igual le echo un rato al Nongünz nuevo a ver qué onda, que malo ya sé que no será.

one bullet = one prayer

Un juego estéticamente muy atractivo, con una preciosidad de banda sonora y un sistema de progresión bastante interesante. Quizá se echa en falta un pequeño tutorial que te explique cómo funcionan las cartas o algunas de las mecánicas, pero experimentando se acaba sacando.

Nongünz is a strange game, when you start it you don't really understand anything, and this can become frustrating if you don't take the time to get to know it, but after you overcome that barrier and pass the learning curve, it's an incredible game, full of secrets and quite extensive due to its roguelite nature. Each boss has a curious and original design to say the least, and the game is really challenging, with a soundtrack that will probably stick in your mind for a while after playing. I highly recommend it to those who like this type of game.
