Into the Pit

Into the Pit delivers a fast-paced roguelite shooter experience with satisfying movement and decent spell variety. The gameplay loop is enjoyable in short bursts, but the limited enemy roster and repetitive runs make it feel shallow after a few hours. It's not a bad game by any means, just one that doesn't do enough to stand out in a crowded genre. Worth checking out on sale if you're looking for a casual roguelite FPS.

$15 asking price... for this? No. Maybe at 70% off, but even then I'd still not recommend it. Idk why it took so long for me to get around to playing this game, but here we are. I'd refund it if I could. +Very fluid and fast paced movement +Cool aesthetic and looks +Menus are very styled and cool. Easy to understand despite pixelated graphics +/-No lore, okay fine whatever. But why should I care to talk to these people with a bunch of dialogue I'll spam LMB to skip through if they only serve as a function to interact with upgrades and etc? Why was there a narrative premise setup at all? -Incredibly easy and BORING -Enemy saturation is incredibly low -Did I mention it's easy? -Enemy explosive VFX do not match their actual AOE dmg I spent about 15-20 minutes learning the game and getting through the first few levels. This is what I realized how my time was spent: -> 80% holding E to charge up 1 one of 4 runes to unlock a room for the other 1 of 4 rooms each with their own 4 runes. -> 10% running to another spot to interact with a rune. Insta-gib maybe 3 enemies along the way. -> 9% admiring the cool aesthetics -> 1% shooting stuff Avoid -- even on sale.

chill game

Very barebones 'roguelike' if you can even call it that. Kept it for the achievements because they looked easy.

Into the PIt is an interesting roguelite shooter. The game itself feels solid enough, the visuals are stand out, and there is enough variety in skills you can get to go with different builds per run but as many players have said before you will see everything within a few hours here. This is the type of game I wish there was a maybe for recommendation. I would only recommend this if you like roguelite/boomer shooter formulas, otherwise it will be run of the mill past that 2-3 hour mark.

Honestly just a grind, I told my friend about it and he kept talking about Hades 2, it made me dread coming back to this. A ton of cool concepts? Almost cool enemies? Nearly playable levels and mechanics? Meet Potential game. All the bosses are the same, most enemies you'll come to find are functionally reskins of each other: - Tower homing shooter - Little rat, mushroom, spider, zombie that runs at you and is fodder - Vaguely humanoid thing that throws projectile - flying projectile shooter That's nearly it! The game in actual variation for upgrades and such is also really lacking, the only magics worth using are Nebula, Hawk, Fan, and Shotgun. Bomb is a near run killer as it's so badly outclassed by Hawk, Needles dmg is way too low, and gets outclassed by Nebula and Fan anyways. This plus the lackluster upgrade options make the gameplay loop mindnumbing. Slow is nearly pointless, poison doesn't do enough dmg, bleed is ok, just ok. The only ones really worth time are Curse and Weakness because they have almost effective combos that pair with them. The game tries to push this odd potential for upgrades that stall or make you take less dmg but why take them ever when you can just…
