Acid Trip

It's very obvious that Acid Trip is a passion project and I think based on the price is well worth it. The game is a top down shooter that puts you in overwhelming situations and ever moving obstacles to overcome just to survive, but you will die…a lot. The game seems like it's still being worked on and updated and I hope that it will continue to be worked on. The game is difficult, but that's the point. The game’s spawns have varying degrees of speed in movement and makes for a challenging situation that you can never get quite used to. You might start hugging the walls but soon a big saw blade starts circling the room, closing in on the areas in which you can move around and grab items like ammo or shields. The game does not want you to be comfortable and the difficulty ramps up pretty quick, maybe a tad too quick and the mobs do quite a bit of damage, but you can regain health by killing mobs. There will be pits that spawn randomly that you can fall into and die as well, that I found interesting and challenging. The game is not perfect, there are some misspellings here and there, even on the store page photos show some misspellings, but these are by far minute issues that can…

Acid Trip is a poorly made, run of the mill 2D top down twin stick wave survival shooter (aka kiting simulator). Gameplay consists of kiting enemies and shooting at them and wondering how the gaming industry has sunk so low when it should be getting better, not worse. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The artwork here is terrible, it's a blend of old retro pixel "art" used as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics, and some of the most amateurish MS-Paint style drawings (I won't deign to call these "illustrations"). It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget to arrange someone who can do graphics properly, or lack of talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result of these decisions. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. Bewi…

I'd like to start off by saying this might be the biggest mistake I've ever made which is buying this game. Possibly the thing I most regret in life is buying this game. This game called "Acid Trip" is a 2D top-down shooter roguelite. I don't think there is a lot to be said about this game except the bad factors about it. For the price of the game I don't think its worth to buy it even on sale. This game is very obviously just a project made by a college student with no intent of actually becoming a big hit. The game succumbed to around five players playing simultaneously shown on SteamDB. When you play the game you can see why that is. Acid Trip is a failed attempt at a revolutionary indie game that tries to build up story in the beginning but just looks like a few frames put together in MS Paint (Also seen in the trailer). It then goes into a retro pixel style type to fit in with other roquelite-type games. There is almost nothing to do in the game and is very repetitive with you just walking around in a box. There aren't any weapon or enemy variations either. Another thing I noticed is that there is no settings menu to adjust things like volume or resolution to fit your monito…
