In Game Adventure: Legend of Monsters

⠀

Legends of Monsters is an adorable arcade pixel shooter in which you're trying to rescue your sister from a evil horde consisting of zombies, ghosts, and even ninja, these enemies are spread throughout five different levels, however once you complete the game a new mode called Random is unlocked in which all enemies can be seen in one level. Unfortunately there's far more negative than positive when it comes to this game. After reloading the game in the campaign mode, I lost access to my secondary weapon slot and no matter what I do, I'm unable to reobtain it, making the levels much more annoying to complete. Another issue I've had is that I'm unable to find this "Arcade" mode the achievements mention. Either it doesn't exist or the Kill X achievements are broken.

This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on. Instead, they decided that "Procgen IS content…

need to play a little more but so far its pretty fun and simple

A chaotic, buggy mess and I'm all for it!

A free take on the Binding of Isaac formula. It's short and easy enough. If you aren't sure if you would like that style of game, you can do worse than dipping your toes in with this free title.
