Mixture of dome keeper with turmoil. I enjoyed the gameplay and working through the higher difficulties. A couple tweaks could be made such as there was a run where I had harvested all the oil, leaving me with nothing to do for the last few waves, other than to wait for combat to start. This was a minor annoyance however. Overall had fun, would recommend.1 found this helpful
Great roguelike. Like having two games in one! Can't wait for future updates1 found this helpful
Dead Oil is a first for me in the mining gameplay style. I recently asked about the Controller support in the demo , and the a dev answered, kudos to the dev. The Full game easily , default as one expects supports controllers just fine. Played the classic and Adventure modes unlocked all the upfront options. Great Game continue to play, fun loop mechanic.1 found this helpful
It says my controller is supported and every time I launch it with the controller the game does not work with my xbox controller, I've tried multiple ways to fix it but it does not work. I go into the setting to try and change it from keyboard to a controller as well and it does nothing, the game itself says no controller found.
Forces you to hold down spacebar to shoot even though there is never a reason not to be shooting. Unlocked the first 2 characters & they are both pretty similar looking dudes with the same ethnically ambiguous skintone. The whole thing feels kind of bland & uninspired, which is surprising considering the setting & premise. Just a very dull & lacklustre execution overall. The game needs more variety in general; more enemy types, more weapon types, etc. It also needs waifus.
There is not much to plan or speculate about regarding upgrades and theorycraft, quick fingers is all you need. Skill cap is not annoyingly high. Ideal game after a tiring day.
