Not my usual genera of games, but I still checked it out. I typically play multiplayer ghost hunting types. I like the music, and the fact this game is compatible with a controller. The hole in the very beginning became an instant nemesis. After finally learning how to jump over it, the next hurtle was learning how to survive getting ganged up on by multiple skellies. Running away doesn't really do anything because you have to defeat them to get the gates to open. It doesn't separate them to help you take them on one by one either. They stay together. Only 2 hours in so far, and I'm enjoying it.7 found this helpful
First and foremost, this looks as though it is the first title of "TechGladiator" and a very promising one at that. I am looking forward to playing more, it's got lots of potential. Good job. [u] What I enjoyed [/u] : [list] [*] The game ran smoothly. I used the Vulkar loading option, as I would for Baldurs Gate as a Laptop gamer and it ran extremely well. [*] The visuals are very nice, I love the map design at the beginning as you are crossing the bridge, it feels very beautiful. [*] The game is very well-lit. For a dungeon-based game, it doesn't feel dreary, it's got the perfect balance of atmosphere and it is quite enjoyable. [*] The tutorial is amazing, its explained very well. It has just enough text to make it intuitive and engaging and explains very well. [*] A lot of love has clearly gone into this game from just the developer's updates, profile, steam page but also the game itself. You can clearly see a lot of inspiration like the death screen, the colours of the UI and just in general the game but its their own unique spin on it to make it a very relevant title and a project of love.

I enjoyed it a little my only gripe is it doesnt have much replay ability once you get to a certain point the weapons one or two shot enemies and there hp doesn't increase through the cycles.1 found this helpful
Pretty good game, I went through a few 'cycles' and felt like I was learning the enemies pretty well (which was the intentional with having only a certain amount of enemy types). Got some good potential to build on but as it stands right now it's a fun game to try to master.
