Behold!

[H1]You are a Beholder, a frightening hellish creature dragged from the bowels of the earth by magic. Your hunger knows no bounds and it’s up to you to prove that to the mortal wretch who summoned you to this plane. This twin-stick shooter will have you blasting waves of soldiers with a variety of power that are randomly selected by a dice roll, eating to keep your health up, and avoiding sword strokes and a hail of arrows in order to survive.[/h1] https://youtu.be/jzmYhSR7DiI The “story” campaign in Behold! Is a bit misleading because there’s no actual story to speak of behind the gratuitous violence that the game presents. You are given a brief tutorial that suggests that you have been summoned into this protective magic circle by the man outside it and then you are told how to shoot your eye lasers and how to eat to recover HP. After that - surprise, surprise - you are encouraged to break free and kill the man who summoned you, after which an entire kingdom is after your bulbous, floating head. The story must be played through in one sitting and death results in a game over screen that presents your score and then you are returned to the brief tutorial. You can skip it, by…

In-Game cursor does not move and actual cursor is hidden and not bound to window. Controller support is very shoddy with no option to keybind. Game looks fun but is unplayable in this condition.

Right now, sadly, I can't recommend this game. As others have noted, there appear to be some control issues that are only affecting certain people/systems:- My mouse (Razer Naga with fully up-to-date Synapse software) won't move the targetting recticle. This immediately makes mouse + keyboard play impossible. I've tried it with my Xbox pad unplugged just to be sure, but it still doesn't work. And speaking of the gamepad... The right stick DOES move the recticle, joy! But you have to hold it in a direction to aim, otherwise it snaps back to being on top of you. This wouldn't be a problem, except the game is hard-coded to use A and B to fire the two beams. I don't know about you, but it really doesn't feel right to me to have to hover my right hand over the pad with my thumb on the stick and a finger on each of those two buttons. In fact it chuffing hurts after a while. This would be easily remedied by allowing the user to rebind the controls, but alas, such is not possible. And the M+K issue would still need resolving anyway, as there's no need for this to be gamepad-only. Plus, you can't navigate the menus properly with the gamepad, so right now it's stuck in a messy n…

Ok for me this game is not that far off from Dark souls or blood born. It seems very good, and my dieing all the time feels more like my falt than its. The only problem is that I just don't have the time to get good at it. I found what little I could play it enjoyable, and I've never played a game like it before. I don't think there is any sotry to it other than the intro, yet at the same time it feels like Monster hunter, who cares abou the story. Just let me kill things! So this could be something for you if you like unforgiving roge likes. I normaly do, but this is one I just don't have the time to put into. Have fun killing!!

Thoroughly enjoying this game, quick and to the point fun. If you want to play something new & a bit challenging, over and over, and over, this is a perfect use of that time. For just under $2 US you really can't beat it - I've paid a lot more for a game that's been a lot less fun.

One weapon, multiple firings. Something about which one does what to the horde and also their deployed sequences, and then it's just creating lanes and ground-pounding and watching meters for lunch time.
