The Great Rebellion

Overall a very dope classic side-scroller experience in a flashy, retro, and futuristic slide-scrolling roguelike format. Sorry, maybe that was a mouth full of a description. But yeah, this game is very fun and it feels great to get better and better weapons to blow away more and more enemies and even when you die you don't feel too frustrated because being a roguelike you keep some progress through your upgrades and also it just feels good to get better and quicker at the levels over-time (at least, if you don't pick the permadeath mode, which is available for more hardcore gamers). Banger soundtrack as well, and very surreal yet iconic bosses. Just recently made it past the Mantis and still have yet to beat what I think was intermediate mode (or a similar title of difficulty) but anyway yeah, fun game. My only complaint is personally, though I'm no "snowflake", some of the political themes are a bit on the nose though maybe that's part of the parody/absurdity the developers intended. I will gladly be blessed by a seraphim for free "negative social credit" in the name of the Father. I see this game as having pretty wide appeal, the only requirements to enjoy it are that you like side-scrollers and enjoy shooting things (and appreciating sound design and music is a plus), and don't mind unapologetic "right-wing" themes.

good multi stick action

uses AI generation. didn't see it at the time and wanted to support what nintendo did to them. wouldn't have bought it since it used AI. that's about it. will say it's decent but it's incredibly short and a bit lackluster.

Easy to pick up and play. Good progression. Plays great on the Steam Deck.

The music alone is worth the price of admission

First off I'm not a regular retro/platform type of gamer. But this has hooked me. Definitely would recommend. Great game from a great dev team. 10/10.

Absolutely love this game. Especially the inclusion of heroes like Joan of Arc and The Red Baron.
