DAWN ONE

Pros: - Fast paced action with simple controls. - A variety of different enemies. - Polished UI and presentation, smooth and fluid animations. - Quite difficult. If you like a challenge or just like dying in game a lot then this is a great game for you. Cons: - Most achievements are bugged and will not unlock (fixed in patch 2026/10/01) - Quite difficult. You will most likely only make as far as what the demo has to offer. If you don't like getting killed in game all the time then this game is not for you. This is a hardcore, fast-paced, hack-and-slash action game suited for people who enjoy extreme difficulty. The mobs come at you fast and their difficulty increase quickly. You will not be able to get better stats or gears, and the power-ups offered in game make little difference since the difficulty curve will vastly outpace them as you progress. Every enemy has AOE attack: their initial spawn area, the toxic pool, the bombs, the lasers... you will soon run out of place to run to, and you will be cornered by armored enemies who will then stagger you, leaving you vulnerable to attacks and kill you. The overall experience is basically dying over and over again at later stages …

Nah. ⭐⭐ out of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great concept and mechanics, but it's hard in a way that isn't enjoyably challenging so much as needlessly frustrating. It's too loose in the controls to allow for the type of movement and attacks required to handle the amount of enemies the game throws at you. Upgrades aren't significant enough to make a difference either. I really wanted to like this, love supporting indie studios and finding interesting ideas like these to try. I'm not going to ask for a refund so that the solo dev that made this can keep making new projects. That being said, I could never play this for more than 10 minutes at most before being really annoyed by the gameplay.

Great arcade game! Easy to pick up, but gets challenging as it progresses. Lovely graphics and animation. The mouse-only control is a really nice mechanic. No complex button combinations to remember. Really fun game which passes more time that you expect! Recommended.

Fast, intense and ridiculously fun. Only downside, adrenaline is trough the roof and my mouse clicking finger might not survive.

cleanest UI design I've seen

Fun game. Quite challenging, but looking forward to getting better at it over time.
