Uriel's Chasm 2: את (2015)

Uriel's Chasm 2: את goes in my "Wtf did I just play?" category, and not in a good way ... despite the failure of the original, the devs still decided to proceed with a sequel that isn't any better than the first one. The nonsensical story, lack of goal or story is still there, as you are immediately thrown into a bullet-hell style game with a stats bar that shows boss HP and your HP as well as some fruits (?). I still don't know what's going on besides killing the enemy on top of the screen. From shooting an alien monster in space, to picking items in an apple field ... I'm still not sure what's going on. Some of the text and dialogue in the intro doesn't make any sense, and sounds like it was written by a 2nd grader. Walls of text between each gameplay makes the game feel more labour-intensive to read, too. You can't even skip the intro either after restarting, so you're trapped with those walls of text. The pixel visuals and audio music are decent, but that doesn't do any justice to how horrid my experience was playing. Don't bother touching Uriel's Chasm 2: את. I wouldn't suggest this game even to my enemies.

The multi-genre aspect seemed intriguing and innovative, as did the first few minutes of intro and gameplay. It's essentially a score-attack SCHMUP with minigames interlaced. Seems like something that would be on TempleOS - as in it has a religious theme and makes little sense. The controls and goal for each minigame are not explained or evident at times. Had the previous statement not been the case I think this could've been something interesting. Also, the store page claims full controller support but it did not work with a controller.

Good vibes

Every negative review before me is right. This is just a headache.

Just no.
