VOID/BREAKER

If Returnal and DOOM had a baby and that baby was an awesome fps roguelike that will blow your mind when you find out is was created by one person.

This game is like if Echo Point Nova had a baby, and it was more dark and gritty. Very good game 10/10, WOW WOW WOW

Subjective problem with the game: Gun is irrelevant, you either build pool of mods that destroy everything or you MUST stun everything and gun will be used only as finisher.

> struggling to beat the zone 2 boss > unlocking the shotgun > getting the trigger corrupted mod that shoot all the ammo in magazine and infinite ammo mod > melting all the ennemies > win the game Absolute masterpiece

Just got it and absolutely love this game. I feel like it's similar but still different enough from games like RoboQuest or DeadZone. The Progression feels great, the bosses seem balanced and the story is gripping. I love these kinds of passion projects and can't wait to see what 1.0 and beyond will bring to the table if this is already here. The Performance is great for a UE5 game, even with the destruction going on. Didn't encounter any bugs, or stutters. IMO 10/10 game, would buy from this dev again.

After beating the first boss I want to say the core mechanic of the gunplay is more annoying than fun. The game is supposed to be high paced but waiting for enemies to stand under destructive debris while dodging them is hard to manage. You can't get health back unless you stagger enemies which feels dreadful as you have to fully wait for the debris to hit, which adds more delays while multiple enemies run and shoot at you. Epic weapon mods are also terribly balanced as they punish you with increased bullet consumption while increasing your damage fractionally. You'll find more success using common and uncommon abilites which is counter-intuitive for a rarity system.

Solid early access game with surprising amount of content to start. Great foundation. The game has like a Returnal + The Finals gameplay feel with a Control and Portal vibe almost which I love. Some things that could be improved (assuming it's not in the works already): - Overview of stats page -- heavily needed to see total Weapon Damage, types of equipped damages, etc. It's very hard to gauge by just going over the Mods screen along with seeing how these impact each other. This is one area Returnal was a challenge with BUT it was easier to trial and error to figure out visually. - A little bit better visual clarity for some enemy attacks. I find some of the smaller flying dots (be it red or purple) a little hard to gauge when they may be close enough to impact me or when I'm good to dodge through some of them. It can also be a bit of a challenge with all the clutter that may occur with all of the visual explosions. Granted, it's a 3rd person game so it's easier to manage but Returnal is a game where it's super easy to gauge enemy projectiles. I can almost always say if I get hit, it's definitely my fault. Hopefully that makes sense. I would also maybe improve the visual of off-screen direction enemy attack notifiers. Probably change the color of them to red and purple vs (I think) greenish white which just blends in with so much of the aesthetics already. This "sixth sense" is honestly crucial in fast-paced bullet hell games to empower players into a much more "skill" based feeling game and can help negate the feeling of random damage especially when there is a LOT going on. - Lower Enemy Accuracy. Boy, this one is quite something haha. Enemies will always perfectly aim at the anticipated spot you are going to be I've noticed. It's definitely contrary to standard game design I feel and makes the gameplay feel too robotic and also can make the required dodging for the player feel less...momentous? Pretty much having to constantly change directions because of this. I would suggest having certain enemy types not lead their shots so aggressively in this regards so a player can maintain their momentum in a direction more effectively. Because it should be more AoE style shots that force this change. The sniper type attacks were very noticeable of this but thats when I noticed almost all 'player' direction attacks followed this same simple algorithm. - Little more challenging Boss difficulty on some. The bosses are cool (very much gives some minor Control vibes on some of them) but they are kinda easy. Especially the crab style one. The crab is easier because of the ability to almost stun lock them with Stagger. Obviously, Harder difficulties in the future could change this but I would recommend the Crab and Cube get minor buffs (nothing too crazy though). - Visual weapon sway. I only have the AR and Pistol but man, the AR visual sway when hip fire is WAY too much. Really threw me off at first. I almost thought crosshairs were moving in unison as well when I first equipped this haha. I would significantly lower this so it's not as disorienting. But overall, very fun game and good start. Here was a video I made on my first run while using Gyro Aim. This is when you use the controller for motion controls to get 'mouse-like' aim with a controller. It's a lot of fun and maybe one day, if this game ports to PS5, you could implement it natively there. Helps a TON. https://youtu.be/UcwjB-JqZTI?si=_tzY8LZ4R3M99wqx
