Dreadrun

⠀

"Dreadrun" is a very meidocre 2D top down shooter with ugly low poly "voxel" "art" and procgen being used heavily, because if you're a developer and you're too lazy to create content, just use samey, soulless repetitive procgen algorithms instead. Gamers will never know! Procgen IS content!!!! This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 milli…

this is one ♥♥♥♥♥♥ buggy ass game.

Cool concept, would love to see this fully fleshed out and realized

This is a short fun game. Machine gun OP. But the random skills and guns are fun to use. Shooting is a bit janky (when you get close to a wall, your gun sometimes gets stuck and shoots away from your cursor) but I'll count that as an intentional feature. I didn't understand the exploration phase in my first run, but I still managed to succeed. I music is nice too. It is a bit easy (at least for me) so I will request some difficulty options. But that isn't necessary and I do recommend.

fun modern take on retro and well thought out
