SULFUR

ha funny game about mass murder agenst goblins

FPS Dungeon diving, kinda cartoonish, style and funny over high fidelity. Very addicting, but the loop is maybe a little slow to start at first before you get some real progression. Might have to open the wiki, but you can explore almost everything by yourself. Some recipes are weird. I think an index of sort might help, because stats like "drag" may not be obvious. A lot of fun.

Most fun I've had being jumped by everyone and their dog

This game is fun!

very fun game 10/10

Really really good game for scratching the "goblin mode" itch. Hoarding loot in your town stash(es) is your only insurance policy against death, which (at the default difficulty - hard) destroys all the items on your character and in their carry-with inventory. Oh, and COOKING! Cooking will be most players' main form of healing as well as gold generation. Some recipes are more straightforward: broth and meat make stew. Some recipes are more jokey: a "stick grenade" (colloqually known as a "potato masher") and a potato combine into mashed potatoes. (There are more culinarily reasonable, less jokey ways to produce mashed potatoes as well.) Some recipes can be learnt from cookbooks, but others require experimenting with ingredients. It does lead to some decision paralysis -- you'll be wondering which ingredients to hold on to. Unless you're the type of player that likes to "read the wiki," you do have to make some arbitrary, unsatisfying decisions to manage your inventory space. For a game very focused on loot and storage, there are some baffling interface shortcomings. For example: you cannot click and drag a 1-square item onto another and have them switch inventory spots. Multiple little things like this have the overall grid-based inventory experience lagging behind games that came out 25 years ago. Hopefully there will be a polishing pass to get it out of Early Access. Weapons are well-balanced and their system of having five upgrade slots is extremely satisfying to play with. As I get more familiar with the upgrades, my brain starts going "what if I do this upgrade with that upgrade? Oh wait, then I won't have room for *THAT* upgrade!" The combined effect is that when a gun build comes together, it's very gratifying - both the "aha" moment of conceptualizing it and the payoff of using it out in the world. Armor (on the other hand) has more of a progression - many items just plain suck compared to others. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, but it can be in practice. Because of the progression, armor hits that "heck yes, my character is just *better now*" feeling. Which armor is "best in slot" can change on specialized builds, but there's typically only one or two options that make sense at all. Increased armor variety would help here, as well as ratcheting up the bonuses and trade-offs on some of the seldom-used pieces. Combat is mostly fun and not very naturalistic. The player hitbox is tiny and enemy projectiles often whiz past, even when it really seems like they ought to have scored a hit. Enemy jump animations are a particular pet peeve of mine: I don't think they should be physics-based, but something about the long, delayed arc they make feels extremely unintuitive and headachey even after I have gotten used to it enough to usually score hits. Another mental friction: base bullet speed seems just a little lower than what "feels right" even in interior spaces. The combined effect of all these (and more) slightly rough edges is that run-n-gun-extravaganza playstyles feel polished and perfect, but more deliberate, slow playstyles start to show off the flaws. I joined up in July 2026. Looking at today's update as well as into the past, it seems like the devs are extremely locked in on updates: both content and balance passes. I love it! But if you're the type of person that gets salty when your OP whatever-whatever gets nerfed, you might want to wait another year to play -- presumably the balance changes will become more gentle as it gets closer to where they want it. I don't know, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. This game has some sort of "secret sauce," and I haven't been this pleasantly surprised with a random, on-sale, early access game in a long time.

it is ok
