HOPE 01

An extraction shooter without PvP, which prevents people from using the meta against you, which opens your options vastly to what you'd like to use. That was one of my many issues with extraction shooters. The game is very much worth your money and time with much to explore and do for your first run, also very polished for an early access game with not many game breaking bugs. More will be added soon, so there will be much more to enjoy in the future. Dev is also very nice and works hard to improve the game, support them!

This game's awesome. Please buy it so maybe the dev will make more games like it and I can play them. Took me 50-something hours to beat and it only felt a little grindy for the last like 5 hours when I was running back and forth finishing all the quest paths. Despite that playthrough length I feel like there's interesting speedrun potential in here, cuz the map is super convoluted. There's sooo much content, super yummy pixel art, enemies are scary as hell but within reason, music and sfx are great, controls feel good IMO, and every item makes sense (well, sometimes the 'sense' is just to be a terrible early game pistol so you can enjoy replacing it) I played Early Access, didn't encounter any bugs somehow. Doesn't feel incomplete anywhere IMO, but as of writing the dev's still adding and changing stuff.

I have never been a big horror or extraction shooter player but this game combines both and does it amazingly well. My first couple of hours in the game were frustrating as I kept dying and making no progress. But as I slowly progressed and got used to the environments and how everything works I was already obsessed. The game is still in EA but is extremely polished already and the (solo) dev has a solid plan and finish point.

I highly recommend this game to those that enjoy being loot goblin and enjoy the idea of an extraction shooter but not the stress PvP extraction induces. There are tons of weapons, equipment, and gadgets to keep yourself constantly trying new things to find the build you like. The lack of any information anywhere as its a very niche game can make life difficult as NPC quest progress can occasionally come to a grinding halt if the quest explanation wasn't precise enough. Now some feedback from the dozen or so hours I've played - Inventory is painful after you start accumulating stuff. I think a quick move with Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click and the ability to quick group multiple half stacks into a single stack (think Minecraft) would go a very long way in making inventory sorting after a run less irritating. I think the game is great and has more than enough content in it's current state to warrant its price as I'm roughly 19 hours in and have plenty more ahead. If you think for even a second "that could be interesting" please give it a shot.

Feels like a very polished flash game I'd play instead of doing homework in the 2010s- 2016s. Metroidvania + Extraction Shooter + Survival Horror + 2D (with a little bit of bullet hell) is an incredibly good combo, I couldn't think of a better one myself. I honestly think this game will open the door for more Metroidvania x Extraction type games because they combo so incredibly well together. Fantastic work by the Dev, can't wait to see what this game is like when it's released. The perma-upgrades are very rewarding, the progression is fun and the characters are interesting, the knife/gunplay is very reminiscent of Resident Evil (knife to save ammo) though you don't really NEED to do that if you're a loot goblin (Crafting ammo is EXTREMELY cheap) which opens up multiple ways to play. Oh, and also the bosses are really good (Bullet hell elements) 8.5/10 (probably 9/10 when the game releases)

What can I say? I just hope this gets more attention.
