About Retromancer
✦ AI summary
Hunt down an insane necromancer across a cursed island in this fast-paced twin-stick shooter with roguelike progression and four distinct character classes. Team up with up to three friends in local co-op, unlock permanent upgrades between runs, and defy death with a unique second-chance mechanic as you battle through six nightmarish areas.
What would happen if an insane wizard set up shop on a cursed island and decided to blend the dark arts of necromancy and ... nostalgia?
They'd become a Retromancer. And you'd have to hunt them down; probably in some kind of intense, pixelated, twin stick shooter.
Select one of four different characters to match your play style: Barbarian, Mage, Hunter, or Cleric,
Unlock weapon drops and permanent upgrades between games that enhance each character's strengths: mages get even more rapid fire, clerics get more blessings from their gods, hunters become even more deadly at range, and barbarians yell louder than ever before!
A unique death's door mechanic gives you a fighting chance to come back from the brink of death.
Grab up to three friends in the local 4-player co-op mode.
Battle through 30 stages spread across 6 areas: Endure a plague of locusts in the haunted woods, overthrow a cultist army in the ruins, surrender your sanity to the creatures of the Void, and kill the Retromancer.

[b]TL;DR:[/b] A good time-waster if you can get it on sale. What I like is that it has a progression system to the powerups. Yes it feels a little tacked-on, but I don't mind chasing the upgrades. The game is competent, and the levels are enjoyable with good variety. However I find the graphics all look the same so you can't distinguish your avatar from the projectiles, from the enemies, the enemy projectiles, etc. It is all a big phony retro blur. I played it for about 1.5 hours before I grew weary. Probably wouldn't have lasted that long but I'm a sucker for twin-stick shooters.1 found this helpful
This game is awesome! The speed and progression are excellent. The difficulty is just right. The graphics are flashy and the game has that unknown thing, that soul and mystique that make playing through it so good. Robotron lovers need to get this game now.1 found this helpful
A fantastic game that was really well put together! It has a great "run and gun" feel that makes it so much fun. It may not be Dark Souls level difficult, but it's not going to be an easy win either. Love the upgrades feature, it makes the game so much more interesting. Also, the 4 classes are very different, allowing for greatly varied styles of gameplay and make each play through a different experience. All around a fun time, and hopefully the dev continues to refine it.
