Swarmcade

Fun light take on the emerging bullet heaven genre(or reverse bullet hell?), I really like to retro feel, the game dev hit the mark on that. This game would be perfect in an actual arcade box at the boardwalk. Ive played it on my steam deck as well, and it runs just fine. The resolution was weird but I think that has recently been addressed in an update. Its good to see the Developer updating pretty frequently. For the price I feel like as long as the few "???" characters and "Coming soon" Maps are delivered then it will be completely worth it. And for many it might even be worth it as is. Looking forwards to the continued development of this game.

Decent, player movement feels very clunky though

We find this computerised retrospective arcade-style leisure game to be an absolute delight. One considers it to be a real banger.

One of the more interesting of the Bullet Heaven games. It's very much a retro-arcade inspired games in terms of many of the power ups and levels. The art style is fun and flashy and almost looks like an old vector graphics game. The unlock system seems fair and balanced, and there are plenty of things to unlock. The characters and weapons are interesting to play. The hit detection can be kind of odd at times, but it's still well worth playing and isn't frustrating. It's a fantastic game to zone out and just play.

Has promise, and I hope it succeeds in a quickly deepening pool of reverse bullet hell/Vampire Survivors clones. As it stands now, I would recommend snagging it if you're into that type of game, and keep an eye on it as it is tightened up and refined. Developer is responsive and open to suggestions, which is refreshing. Notable issue I already brought up to the dev: 1. Needs audio limiting/balance. Some sounds are super loud when played twice. Turn your volume down until this is fixed.

Random Scuffed Games #200 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Aktuelle Spielequeue: https://rsg.ditomido.de Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: Rittersternchen Swarmcade ist ein sehr klassisches Survivor like mit Rougelite Elementen. Einzig der Grafikstil und die Musik machen die Dinge anders, höchstens vielleicht noch die einzelnen Fähigkeiten und Klassen die Referenzen zu anderen Spielen sind. Für mich ist ein solcher "Klon" immer mit der Frage verbunden, was es denn anders als das Original macht. Zugegeben, die Musik ist ganz gut und auch optisch ist das Spiel ganz nett, aber alles in allem bestenfalls mittelmäßig. Somit keine klare Kaufempfehlung, aber wer das Genre mag und Zeit verbrennen möchte, wird sich mit diesem Spiel zumindest nicht ärgern einen Fehlkauf getätigt zu haben.
