Rocket Rats

[h1]빠르고 간결한 로그라이트[/h1] 한 판에 대략 15분 정도 걸리며, 모든 도전과제를 클리어하는 데 약 6시간 정도면 충분한 간단한 탄막 로그라이트 게임입니다. 난이도도 낮은 편이고, 캐릭터를 해금할수록 카드 선택의 랜덤성도 줄어들어 원하는 빌드를 구성하며 가볍고 빠르게 즐기기 좋습니다. 맵은 아주 좁은 원형으로 이루어져 있습니다. 초반에는 업그레이드를 위해 어느 정도 이동해야 하지만, 중반부에 들어서면 이동조차 거의 필요 없는 터렛형 게임으로 변합니다. 그저 중앙에서 카드를 고르고 탄막이 퍼져 나가는 모습을 지켜보면 되는 간단한 구조입니다. 빌드를 완성하면 탄막이 화면 전체를 뒤덮거나 번개가 앞이 보이지 않을 정도로 쏟아지는 등 시각적인 효과도 화려해, 로그라이트 특유의 성장감을 느끼기에도 좋았습니다. 한 캐릭터로 엔딩을 보면 다음 캐릭터를 충분히 강화할 수 있을 만큼의 재화가 모입니다. 이후 다음 캐릭터로 넘어가 같은 과정을 반복하면 자연스럽게 모든 캐릭터와 빌드를 한 번씩 경험할 수 있습니다. 여기에 도전과제를 위한 재화와 특성, 카드작까지 진행하면서 아직 시도하지 않은 빌드도 모두 경험하다 보면, 적당한 시간 안에 모든 콘텐츠를 완료하고 깔끔하게 게임을 마무리할 수 있습니다. 다만 이러한 캐주얼함과 간편함이 단점으로 작용하기도 합니다. 캐릭터별로 한두 판 정도만 플레이해도 각 빌드의 고점을 비교적 쉽게 달성할 수 있으며, 빌드의 최종적인 형태도 대체로 정해져 있는 느낌입니다. 그래서 같은 빌드를 다시 플레이하고 싶은 생각은 크게 들지 않았습니다. 빌드의 다양성이 많지 않고 고점 달성도 쉬우며 플레이 시간까지 짧기 때문에, 간편하게 즐기는 것 이상의 콘텐츠를 기대하기는 어렵습니다. 전체적으로 가볍게 즐기기 좋은 탄막 로그라이트 게임입니다. 한두 판씩 부담 없이 플레이하거나 잠깐의 도파민을 원하는 분들에게 추천드립니다.

[h1]One of the better examples for the need of an 'meh' rating.[/h1] (side note; the tag bullet hell is pretty insulting considering the ONLY bullets shot are from the player, there are no attack patterns or bullets coming from the enemies.) [h2]The good[/h2] The game is a 'fine' vampire survivors-like game. The game has an appealing visual style. It is not very expensive and can have great discounts. For achievement hunters it is fast and simple to complete (100% after 6.5 hours but could be faster). [h2]The bad[/h2] A SEVERE lack of content. I get it, it's decently cheap, but games of similar pricepoints can easily give 10x-100x as much value in gameplay enjoyment or in replayability (such as 'vampire survivors' or my favorite 'Voidigo' both which are cheaper actually). Progression is extremely limited to a couple of skills beforehand, no new areas to explore, speaking of which... See the first image on the store? That circle is the entire map. There is nearly no place to move to and your movement is very limited. Additionally, the enemies spawn very close to the circle. There is no real benefit to moving away from the middle. Generally speaking, if you ever need to move from the middle during your run, it's likely you will lose that run. You can upgrade your movement speed, but what's the point with a map so small? If it wasn't for the bundled dodge chance there would be no point in taking it. Most player interaction will just be selecting run-upgrades Variation of 'characters' is minimal. A couple of different skills you can unlock beforehand that funnel you to a specific run-upgrade to use. But that doesn't really matter since every character could do the same. The only differences that cannot be carried over are their appearance and shooting pattern. No unique enemies apart from 3 different visuals. They walk to you. Nothing more. [h1]Should you buy it?[/h1] Depends on what you are looking for but I cannot give it a positive review. It's not bad per se, but also not very inspired. Works well enough as something to do for a bit. If you do get it, do it at a discount.

[h1]Minha análise após fazer 100% do Rocket Rats[/h1] [list] [*]Nota: 5/10 [/list] [h1]Resumo[/h1] [b]Rocket Rats[/b] é um roguelite aos moldes de Vampire Survivors porém de forma muito mais simples e com bem menos conteúdo, beirando um nível que eu diria até mesmo raso. Sua pixel art é extremamente carismática e muito bem feita, mostrando um potencial enorme que o jogo tinha, mas devido a falta de conteúdo, não serviu de tanta coisa, Entendo que é um jogo indie, mas diante de tantos indies excelentes no mercado, esse é apenas mais um, extremamente curto e de certo modo repetitivo. O jogo não tem história, não tem uma trilha sonora marcante nem nada, é puramente baseado na gameplay que é muito simples por sinal. Vale a pena numa sale, mas não é algo que irá ficar na sua mente, é um jogo pra jogar e esquecer logo em seguida.

类幸存者+弹幕射击小甜品但忘记加糖了。游戏休闲到玩家都不需要做什么不如直接做成挂机游戏（。 和常见的类幸存者满地图跑相比，本作机制为限制区域——跑也没用，所以都不用跑。玩几轮就能体验完所有流派，没太多深度。敌方只有三种，第二轮开始也没有设计新的，好像只加了血量？唯二优点就是画风可爱和反馈还算爽，所以还是会打个全成就的。

There came a point while I was playing this where I genuinely stopped and asked myself, "Why am I wasting my time grinding for achievements?" That is never a good sign. This game is absolutely mind numbing, and not in a good way. People need to have some standards. It is sitting at "Very Positive" on Steam, and I have seen people describe it as polished. Seriously? It is not difficult to polish a game when there is barely any content. You have seen pretty much everything significant the game has to offer within the first 30 minutes. My first completion took about 45 minutes, and after that the game's idea of progression is to unlock another character and do the exact same thing again. There is no real sense of progression either. The upgrades are mostly boring, the different characters minimally change how you play - in fact most of my runs I all I did was click a card occasionally, and many of the incremental upgrades feel completely pointless because you can comfortably win without them. Half of them are so underpowered that you barely notice them, while the other half are basically instant wins. Even movement feels pointless because your character's hitbox does not seem to match what you actually see on screen meaning you take hits that you shouldn't and don't take hits when you should. On top of that, there does not even seem to be any real conclusion or payoff. Even after beating the game with all characters, it just loops back into itself with nothing meaningful to show for it. Maybe there's more, but I'm not dumb enough to continue spending time on this. Repetitive, shallow, and ultimately just a waste of time.

I really really wish I could recommend this game, but I can't. The concept is really cool, the pixel art is beautiful, but at the end of the day there just isn't anything here. If you're going to call your game a survivers-like than you're setting yourself up for that comparison, and this is way below Vampire Survivors. There are literally three enemy types. The levels are all just a small moon in different colors depending on the rat, and the upgrades are so few. There are no other maps, nothing cool to discover, just... A moon and three enemy types with a small handful of upgrades. This game is $1 more then vampire survivers and has vastly less content. I really disliked how permanent upgrades worked. You could only active one at a time across three rows. I've never seen such an arbitrary limitation in a game like this. I can understand the characters having that limitation, but not the incremental upgrades. Really bizarre and annoying. When I unlocked the soldier and upgraded it all the way, the game was done. I literally stood in one place and didn't move. Eventually, after like an hour of just setting the game aside and letting it go, the entire screen was filled with the ammo clip so that I could barely see what was going on, and nothing could get close to me. It just kept counting up, 30+50, 30+60, etc, because 30 is when you get the last upgrade. After that I knew there was nothing else to do. On the bright side, it did make me want to play vampire survivers again, so I'm off to do that!

I wanna play Somewhere higher than the moon
