    Reviewer's context: I play way, way too many roguelikes/lites. Got a taste for it with ADOM and Brogue, moved onto BoI, Spelunky, Enter the Gungeon, and many, many more. Most played game by hours is currently Slay the Spire, followed by Binding of Issac and Deep Rock Galactic. At the very baseline, NecroBouncer does what it says on the tin; it is a twin-stick arena fighting game, with passive items, active abilities, and roguelite progression. And if that's enough for you, then this will…

    I'm not a big fan of rogue-like games, but Necrobouncer stole my heart. I can't stop playing, please help!))))

    Greetings all! NecroBouncer is finally out in full release. I checked out the prologue a month or two ago and was dragged out for a while, now the full game is out and you don't have to worry about having a small chunk of the game. Have a great run everyone!!!

    This game seriously rocks. It’s your typical rogue like for the most part. This means going through random floors, receive random relics & special moves and when you die you start a new run but you can make yourself stronger permanently. The way the game combines those elements is what makes it so interesting. The game has different floor types, you gradually unlock more with every run. It’s not just beating enemies but how and when. You can see the entire branching path, so you can plan…

    "Dude, this party is... really cool!". A Dungeon Roguelike, where you are given the role of a necrobouncer who needs to clean up the nightclub in the most reliable and proven ways, and your dexterity and attentiveness skills will help you do it!

    It is a fun if not chaotic game with the first floor being just the right amount of difficult, the second floor is absolute insanity (even with all the stuff that lowers difficulty) and almost all of the difficulty on this floor comes from the special big knights that shoot massive projectiles in 8 directions, and they run away from you so you have to catch them, and the second boss is fairly fine except after you defeat it it goes bullet hell mode for a few seconds, but the sondtrack slaps

    NecroBouncer was just what I needed this holiday season! It's good-looking, well made, fun and challenging. It has a nice learning curve, doesn't throw too much your way at once, but keeps getting more and more engaging and complex as you play. Wrapping my head around all the potential synergies is just starting to get really fun. This game will challenge even the best action platformers with its movement. Art is beautiful and music gets me hyped and bopping my head every time. Even though it's…

    Dead or alive? Descend into the dungeon as pixels and destroy other pixels! Sweep and slick, slick and swish. Very fun and exciting.

    I would not recommend this, even on sale, unfortunately. Gameplay loop is basic, does not feel rewarding, skills are underwhelming. Progression is .. there, but after a couple of runs I didn't feel like I was progressing. Character felt just as meh as it did on my first run.

    Too bad, there's a lot of good stuff here that could make a great game. But the combat feels very annoying and boring, your weapon is weak, there's no variety (at least in the beginning), the enemies are too tanky for no reason, the different rooms types change nothing about the combat, and the upgrades are boring and don't have enough impact.

    Good game. Very cool animation. The game has a lot of content. The game is very addictive, I recommend this game, you can have a great evening with it! The game is very dynamic and will definitely not let you get bored. Huge hordes of monsters are waiting in the vastness of this wonderful game!

    love the game so far. A quite challenging game with some amazing soundtracks and lovely pixel art. Developed by just one guy, so huge respect for that . The game is also replayable and keeps you busy for some time. Price is also more than fair. Excited for the upcoming updates !

    It's a perfectionistic game. You have to be extremely fast on your reactions, you have to remember where the projectiles are, you have to keep track of EVERYTHING while also trying to remember what enemies do, how they work, where they're casting, what they're casting, where you are, where you're going to dodge, then of course comes the randomness in some of the abilities, and some of the screwing that'll happen just because everything's in the right position, or is literally flooding the…

    Music is pure fire. Gameplay is captivating as hell. So much tension when i'm dodging as fck on my last HP. And i was defenetely not prepared for THIS huge ammount of Relics :3 UPD. Got back to the game affter some time. It noticably got even better. Still a cool "git good" kind of the game. Also IMHO the new Ludeo feature fits this game really well. Smashed my keyboard trying to beat some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ record and felt myseld 9/10 affter i've beat his pitty numbers! ))

    All in all, a good fast-paced top-down action roguelike with controls reminiscent of a twin stick shooter. Take on the role of a bouncer necromancer and free the halls of a nightclub from tipsy intruders.

    Had a game-breaking bug that wouldn't go away for a couple of days, but its gone now and has most likely been fixed. The dev messaged me about it and clearly cares about the game. That alone is enough reason for me to recommend it!

    Bought this game on a whim last night from a Steam recommends section...Really enjoying the short time I've put into it. It reminds me of a mix of HADES and CURSE OF THE NECROMANCER, love the gameplay (though the camera shake/bounce is a little offputting sometimes), enjoying the overall look and feel of retro gaming, and fills a need for quick mayhem battling and nostalgia. Recommended!

    ✔ decent fun while discovering what the game has to offer (for two half runs in my case) ❔ it's actually a quite a bullet hell, especially during boss fights ❔ eventually you start getting overwhelmed and have to use some semi-broken mechanics to progress without constantly losing hp (instead of normal melee combat) ✘ it gets repetitive quickly, since you only have the auto attack and two active skills (which are costly resource-wise). Passives don't change that much ✘ my character had full…

    This game has some great pieces in it, the passive buffs and debuffs, a FTL-style map path, and it's obviously made by someone who really enjoys the rogue genre... but the game lacks polish and feels unfinished. It feels like the developer really wanted to develop a few key mechanics and for everything else in the game said "meh, that's good enough".

    I have played 1 run so far of this game, beaten 2 bosses and died on the 3rd floor type. So far I have really enjoyed my small amount of time playing, the game-play is simple for someone like me who isn't necessarily very good at these types of games, but also rather challenging, especially the further along you get level-wise. The boss fights seem fun and intuitive which so far haven't required any frustration but instead I have enjoyed learning the first 2 bosses patterns. Definitely…

    I really love the retro style (it reminds me of Gauntlet from the AMSTRAD) and the sound track in this game. I am playing it for the first time tonight after watching the Developer interview on the Lenovo Legion Channel where I also got the free key from for asking a question that was answered on stream. The difficulty level is nice and balanced so even an old codger (in gaming terms) with slow reactions and failing eyesight like me can have some fun killing and smashing my way through…
