"Exsanguination" is a free to play boomer shooter (brawler?) where you pretend to be a Vampire in a 1990's video game and fight evil monsters and things in a game that looks slightly worse than Quake. While this is marginally better than most amateur "indie" shovelware, it's not winning any awards and it was a massive flop. What do you do in the game? The gameplay involves fast-paced combat using a grappling hook and melee attacks. The game has a significant focus on violence and gore, but it also looks bad, and that clunkiness didn't help at all. The graphics aren't great, retro 3D looking graphics, probably not asset flipped because no self respecting content creator would publish them. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. On the matter of pricing and value for gamers, most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's often nasty mobile app cash shops, or content locked behind D…

This game will be awesome. It has cool mechanics and aesthetic. Looking forward to the full game! However, there are many bugs to be fleshed out. -The mouse icon disappears most of the time in menus or inspecting an item -entering a new area resets the mouse sensitivity -No mouse control with xbox controller -Tutorials don't say what buttons to use for xbox controller -dying makes mouse disappear so the options to restart or go to main menu don't work and have to force quit the game -Impaling an enemy still allows other enemies to attack you, which will make you die too quickly -Enemies have a lot of health and can overwhelm you too easily -No way to exit inspecting a journal with xbox controller -Using an xbox controller allows you to still use mouse but not WASD on keyboard

Ever wanted to be a vampire hunter but ended up being the snack instead? 🍷🔪 Welcome to Exsanguination, where you get to stake your enemies—and then become one yourself! Dash, slide, and slice your way through ghouls like it’s a grocery list gone wrong. Who knew hunting vampires would come with so much cardio? 🏃‍♂️💨 10/10, I would suck at being a vampire again! 🧛‍♂️😅

Couldn't read the story at the beginning. I'm a slow reader:( I had trouble moving, but my wasd movement started working when I unplugged my controlled usb. Graphics and atmosphere good +. Has grappling rope and melee combat ++. Has vampire theme +++.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
