About CRUX

CRUX is a fast-paced single player arena shooter roguelike inspired by the refined mechanics and the drive to mastery of old school boomer shooter of the 90s and the replayability and powerful abilities of roguelike action games.

In CRUX you play as a cultist warrior of the blood gods, trained from childhood to undertake the trials of the CRUX. The trials consist of 13 arenas across 5 worlds, where you'll face hordes of demons native to that world. Survive the hordes to earn the right to face the Guardian of the Arena, boss fights unique to each arena that will test your skills with movement, weapons, controlling the arena.

The blood gods watch your step, and for every arena they will bless you with a selection of magic abilities to increase your power. With a selection of over 100 abilities you will have the opportunity to customize your gameplay to suit your playstyle. Whether you want to bust your foes' skulls with the Skullcrusher, chain lightning magic, steal their lifeforce (or much more!), the choice is yours!

Successfully beating all the arenas will land you a spot in the leaderboards. But the true champion is the fastest one, so customize your build and go again to try and get to the top spot!

Wheehaw, I really really enjoyed this one! Come take my time, I dare ya! Very much a love letter to Quake, and holy crap does it feel good. Maybe a little light on options, but hopefully we get some more content in future updates! Anyways, as usual I made a video review and you can get my full thoughts there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0hglHklW2k Disclaimer: I received a review copy of Crux for free from the devs and Keymailer, however I was not paid to say this game was good, all opinions are my own.

This is definitely one of the more interesting Vampire Survivors like games I've played recently. If it wasn't obvious, this share a huge similarity with Quake series. Think Quake III Arena but with the enemies of modern Doom. I think this game has the potential to become something very interesting later down the line, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't play it now. As others have mentioned, it has hours of content out of the box and a diverse set of perks you can use throughout your runs. As well as a wide variety of enemies and maps to choose from, I'm sure there's more to come in the future. I will come back to this review possibly at a later stage when I've played it more and have a better feel for what the game has to offer. But until then, if you haven't done so already, definitely give the game a go, as I think you'll find this game very enjoyable. Especially if you like Quake/Doom and Vampire Survivors type games.

Before I begin I'd like to state that what I'm about to say relates to the state of the game as of 17.04.2024. The game may not be in early access, but there's still a lot of work to do. Let's start with the good stuff. Mechanically the game is solid, I think it's fair to even say it is above average. Weapons are solid, Perks while simple are impactful and Movement is responsive. There are foundations for an awesome game and while this is enough for me to recommend it now, there are issues with it that I would like to point out. The major problem I encountered is something that can be described as Varied Mouse Sensitivity. What does that mean? From my observations, it looks like the mouse sensitivity is dependent on framerate and not in the way one would expect. The lower the framerate, the higher the senstivity becomes, leading to weird situation where in the middle of a fight you suddenly look at the floor or the sky. Since this is an FPS it's pretty much gamebreaking, but it might be the case of my system and the game not getting along. Dev, if You want to know more, hit me up. The audio needs a cleanup pass as it is unbalanced and some sound effects cut off sonner than they …
