Pros Controls feel tight and responsive, and the gunplay/combat is very satisfying with nice impactful sfx. There's a large selection of weapons/spells/perks to choose from to create a personal build, and each realm(level) has good unique environments and enemy sets with bosses that each have their own special abilities and niches. The soundtracks are pretty good too and fit each level's atmosphere well. For this kind of game, the AI of the enemies is well done and not just brainless walking around forever or flying at you through walls, in fact the enemies can be very threatening sometimes if you're not careful. There's a lot of verticality in many of the levels, especially later on, for the player and the enemies to move around in. Cons Some build choices in the game seem to be a noticeable amount weaker than the others, such as the "barrage" spell, revolver, and the hardlight carbine, which weren't as powerful as I'd hoped, even with upgrades. Sometimes leaderboards don't update properly/quickly. Also there's not really story in this game, which isn't essential for a game like this but would have made the playthrough more interesting.

Currently played through 5/9 of the levels/realms offered in the game and have been enjoying it so far. The controls are straightforward and maneuvering the character around the screen is easy. The pixel art graphics for all the different levels are aesthetically pleasing. The interface of the game lobby is user-friendly and it's easy to navigate all the different sections. The different difficulty levels and variety of enemy attack patterns keeps the shooting game interesting and encourages the player to try out the different unlockable weapons and perks to see what works best against which enemies. I like switching around what weapons I put in my loadout to see the differences in damage and play style. The different spells/perks are also easy to understand and switch around to see what works best for particular levels. This is especially relevant when it comes to the boss enemies, as I usually find myself dying the first few times and then going back to try different weapons/spells combinations to see what works best. The variety of unlockable weapons/spells/perks helps add a strategy element to the shooting game that keeps it from feeling too repetitive, An additional thing…5 found this helpful
Gyatt Rat A fun platformer / shooter that is even more fun to try and speedrun. There are a lot of gun mechanics, abilities, and perks that you can experiment around with. I really like figuring out combos to form the ultimate gyatt. The ultimate gyatt rat.4 found this helpful
