I REALLY want to like a Gauntlet bullet heaven, but the unlocks are WAY too slow and it just feels like a grindy slog. Worth noting I played it both in early access and in its current state and this has still yet to be fixed.
Full playthrough: https://youtu.be/6K-E_LrvFgk?si=k2O6eimiuyaF0578 So I originally gave this game a bad review because some of the mechanics of the game just really pissed me off. The leveling almost feels pointless because half the time you're only given just 1 stat, and 1 stat doesnt do anything. So many tiny little corridors that are hard to dodge and I feel like the leveling of the attacks-- when they get to level 10-- they just feel arbitrary and hardly thought out: You got Faster attack, Bigger attack and 2+ attacks. Its rarely any different from this. But I couldn't stop playing it! The music in this game I think is what sells it the most. The music in this game is absolutely gorgeous and so well made. Whoever made it needs an Oscar, and Oscars arent even for music. The gameplay loop is also just addicting. Im a huge fan of the Gauntlet series and thats what this game is; a loveletter to Gauntlet. I just hope this game keeps getting more GOOD updates to keep me coming back. Unfortunately the most recent update kinda sucked... adding in all these arbitary updates like More Gold/More Enemies, Manaburst, etc. Unless im missing something they're all awful. Just give me Damage or Spirit.
Fun little game. The recent updates have really improved the game overall with new abilities and temporary buffs that can really save you in a pinch. Well worth the price.
Fairly simple game. I like it but the level ups don't feel impactful. This game can be fixed with some number adjustment but its still a passing grade
A fun and charming mix of Gauntlet, rouge-lite mechanics, and a slight touch of bullet-hell projectiles to dodge. It is well worth the price, the pixel art is nice, its fun unlocking everything, and the developer has added a new mode since release.
fun little adventure roguelite
I would say NO, It kinda looks cool and retro, even really fun, but when you spend some hours (for me at least) you can see it´s no more than that, progression its just useless.
Boring power progression. Uninteresting skills/classes.
what a fun game, polished. challenging. Criminally underrated gem of a game. 20 characters , meta progression, dopamine ? Yes . Great price. Great graphics and sounds. Gosh this game just ticks all the right boxes for me.
Great fun roguelike, the spirit of the original Gauntlet with the mechanics I didn't like taken out. Really love the music, wish there was an option to purchase the soundtrack!
