[i]---See where this game landed on my Survivor Rogue-lite/like Tier List at the bottom of this rec!---[/i] There's better games in the genre. You have 4 active abilities and a dash button, but I wish I could autofire these (you can autofire one of them by holding down left mouse button) - it's a bit to manage. Among the upgrades you get, you also get lots of extra abilities that you don't have room to equip, making them redundant. Progression through a run wasn't interesting enough for me. Once you've played your first run through the game I think you've seen it all - the only difference being higher difficulty settings and abilities you haven't played with yet.

Das Spiel wurde nach mehr als zwei Jahren kompletter Funkstille unfertig aus dem Early Access entlassen und die Entwicklung wird offiziell eingestellt. Als zahlender Kunde erfährt man auf Steam jahrelang absolut gar nichts über den Status des Spiels, während das Projekt auf Social Media weiter beworben wird. Am Ende wird man mit einer langen Liste an privaten Ausreden abgespeist. So bitter persönliche Schicksalsschläge auch sind: Auf einer Verkaufsplattform wie Steam haben private Dinge nichts zu suchen – was Kunden interessiert, ist der Status des Produkts. Viele der ursprünglichen Pläne und Versprechen wurden nie umgesetzt. Wer ein fertiges oder verlässlich betreutes Spiel erwartet, sollte hier definitiv die Finger von lassen. Für mich war das das letzte Spiel dieses Entwicklers.

So, a lil overview at first. I bought this game when it first released. I'd say even in that state, that the game was fully playable, albeit a bit short, and lacking in some content, but it was still a fine experience. I don't even remember if the game was early access at first, can a game even do that? Enter early access later? Probably not, anyway. The point I'm trying to make is that the dev added some content, after a long wait, then added some more content, then they left the game in early access for 2 years and just released it as 1.0 without any update. Am I dissapointed there's not a big 1.0 update? Yes. But if you approach it as it is now, you won't be. Am I satisfied with my experience and think it's worth it's extremely cheap price? Yes. Would I recommend this game? Hell yeah. Go buy it.

Neophyte оказалась весьма красивой, когда играл в первый раз, она мне показалась сыроватой, но сейчас игра представляет собой вполне себе реиграбельный рыгалик, пускай и маленький. Игра, конечно, не бесконечная, но тут есть интересный билдострой, неплохие возвышения и интересные персонажи со своими микро-фишками. В связи с положением разработчика игру он забросил, но она своего времени стоит.

A nice little fun game! It's very good for what it is. Lots of fun playstyles and run customizability! Not too strategic since relics are gained automatically, but weapons and stat upgrades you can choose, which seems perfectly fine for 30 minute run time. Overall it is super fun! It just gets a bit repetitive since most combats feel the same with more and more monster hoards coming out like it does every stage. Enemy variety is nice though! I know I seem hesitant, but it is pretty fun! Give it a try!

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

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.
