Storm Lancers

SO! I know you see all the comments saying this game is subpar and what not.....theyre not wrong but theyre not right. The game itself is really good and i knew it was gonna be good from the trailer/ demo snippet we were given before it was released. althoughhhhh, there is a tiny little hiccup (or hiccups) they still need to polish this game out of bugs and etc because ive seen quite a few.....BUT NEVER GAME BREAKING!!! The gameplay itself is smooth and easy to get the hang of without confusion; If you like games that require you to go at it again and again, improving each time you go in and/or grinding for material to buy upgrades...then this is your game! BUT if you hate repetitiveness or that groundhog day feeling then do not play this (gotta be blunt. I want more people to play but i want the right people to play it and love it! and im sure itll come sooner or later.) With that being said....I like this game...its fun. I didnt pay for it, it was a gift but it was a very good gift at that and i look forward to continuing this game and hopefully the developers do some cool stuff with it in the future like events or etc, who knows.

ok waste of 20 euro bro dont buy this like youd expect it to save ur progress but you gotta start from the VERY start every time u die its really repetitive and theres barely any lore or backstory they just shoot u STRAIGHT into the game without a proper tutorial or anything - like they expect u to know wtf ur doing bro omg yeah idk . its a cool concept and stuff and the bosses are cool but its just really boring icl

What a stinking turd. The game seems purposefully designed to be boring and be the exact OPPOSITE of how a roguelike should be. The game is a 2D roguelike, it says MV but it really isn't. There is a melee and ranged weapon and unlockable single slot power. Theres a few different weapons and the difference is speed and range, and similar to ranged weapons. They all play the same you just spam attack as theres no combos or unique attacks for each. The special ability takes the slot of the heal for some dumb reason, so you'll likely not even use it to keep healing on deck which is more important. Couldn't have been designed less brainless. Getting new weapons is just as stupid. You get money and basically open chests for a random weapon. The problem is it can be ranged or melee and theres no way of knowing. I needed a ranged weapon and spent 30k in gold and opened 4 chests trying to find a ranged weapon and got only melee weapons I didn't need, blowing the money I saved up for a while for nothing. Is there a way to turn those unused or old weapons into money? Of course not, that would make too much sense. Later areas after the first cover the ground and air with traps every 5 feet, …

Aggressively eh, doesn't live up to the animatics and just frustrating at times. Grappling hook upgrade poorly executed. There are better roguelikes out there.

Storm Lancers is a side-scrolling action roguelite developed and published by ProbablyMonsters that combines high-speed combat, platforming mobility, and progression-focused gameplay into a cooperative science-fiction adventure built around survival and adaptation. Drawing inspiration from roguelites and exploration-heavy action games, it creates an experience where repeated attempts are not setbacks but essential parts of growth. Every defeat becomes an opportunity to improve, every run introduces new possibilities, and every upgrade gradually transforms players from stranded survivors into increasingly powerful warriors capable of confronting larger threats. The story begins with disaster. Two adventurers find themselves stranded on Cryptica, a dangerous alien world overflowing with unstable magical forces and hostile creatures. Survival quickly becomes more than simply escaping an unfamiliar planet. Strange entities known as Stormhearts recognize the heroes' potential and pull them into a much larger conflict involving the collapse of reality itself. While the narrative remains secondary to gameplay progression, it provides enough mystery and purpose to keep players invested wh…

If you want this game, only get it while it's on sale, after 100%-ing the game I can say with relative ease that it is not worth $20. That being said, it is a decently fun gameplay experience aside from the bugs making achievement hunting a total slog. I admit I had some skill issue moments that made the achievements to finish the game without taking any damage take far longer than it should have, but skill issue aside, the achievements were painful to get on account of several bugs, none of which proved game-breaking, but enough to result in me taking damage and having to restart the run, many times. The good: Fortunately, restarting runs wasn't particularly problematic because the combat and movement mechanics are very nice (with the exception of the elevator on level 4 where the game struggles to attach your character to a moving map tile which causes movement problems). The fighting is not particularly complicated, although there are techs to improve damage application and survival like anywhere else. There's a decent variety of enemies to fight, each stage is more challenging than the next, and there are a few ways to cheese getting OP gear at the start. While it is easy to l…
