Rainbow Laser Disco Dungeon

Great game, great beats. Its fun to just intentionally syncopate various combos of guns sporadically to create your own "mixes" of the soundtracks, and you can add your own music for free-styling hordes of robots into scrap with, as well. 4 Solid Stars out of 5, and the developers can have another 6 stars if they bundle a nice, 1280 character input console with the advertised (but not currently player manipulable) "vintage text to speech" whiteboard. >:D

I love the disco/rave aesthetic. The soundtrack and strobe light effects are great and pair very well together. The best part about this game is the ability to add your own music to play along to. Thankfully, it is easy to add and calibrate the BPM so they work within the game. I recommend adding the songs that are in Steam Achievement names. I anticipate a sequel sometime in the future!

Some folks might compare this to the old arcade game Robotron, but while it has the flashing colors of that, I'd say it's much more akin to Berzerk, sort of blending the two insofar as the saving people from Robotron & wrecking robots throughout a maze as in Berzerk. This, however, sets itself apart from both of those in its much funkier soundtrack which is worth the purchase price alone, and in its different shooting styles. By default you shoot to your left & right simultaneously from both hands, but you can switch to shooting with both hands in a straight line in front of you, or left & right diagonally. Not only that, but your weapons shoot to different rhythms, adding another wrinkle to the learning curve. Altogether this makes for a really enjoyable, if challenging, experience very much in the spirit of the arcade classics that inspired it. Oh, and as a bonus, you can play the game to your own songs, which can change up the enemy attack patterns, as if I'm not mistaken, they fire to the beats of the music. P.S. there's multiple difficulties, and I'd very much recommend getting your bearings in easy, and if the visuals are a little much for you, there are plenty of settings to tone them down. Having experience with other games from this developer, I took the hint from the very start & said yes to toning the visual effects down, and my eyes remain unfried.

If you enjoy any of the four words in the title, this is probably a good game for you. A simple yet enthralling aesthetic, a bangin' soundtrack, and addictive gameplay reminiscent of games like Crypt of the NecroDancer, The Binding of Isaac, BPM: Bullets Per Minute, etc. I'll certainly be dancing some nights away with this one.

The game is decent for what it is. The music is nice, the gunplay is solid, visually it looks ok. The game DOES NOT run well on controller.... use a keyboard, i think the dev has to be on drugs to prefer aiming with bumper's over arrow keys. The game is really tiny, and the achievements dont seem to work. It is under 1 hour long, and costs 10$. This is an ok 1$ game, and if it is ever on sale for 1$.... then why not buy it.... but 10$ is crazy for what you are getting with this. NGL, for just 3x the price (and 10x the hours) you could literally just buy Hi-Fi rush, which is arguably a better musical PVE room-crawler https://store.steampowered.com/app/1817230/HiFi_RUSH/
