60 of 115 · most liked firstCame in expecting a buggy mess but honestly was pleasantly surprised there was no real bugs to speak off, maybe some simple grammatical mistakes that made it a bit hard to understand but I'm nitpicking here. The game is really fun, I got super far from my first play through reaching 6-1 on hard and I could already see how different my next run will be since there is ♥♥♥♥ ton of items to experiment with. my main problems with the game so far is the difficulty the game felt fairly easy even on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's great. A mix between Magicite and Risk of Rain 2 is straight genius. Just a little disappointed that it isn't played by more people, since I would love seeing youtube content about it. It might spread to hundreds of thousands of people if you'd just advertised it. Im definitely coming back to see whats new in the future updates.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute little multiplayer roguelike, maplestory x risk of rain
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend you let this one wait just a bit longer before picking it up. It has some good potential, but still has obvious issues when you start it up. Right now the biggest problem with the game is that there are levels where all of the enemies are spiders that grab you on contact then explode after a bit killing you unless you can mash out. These levels might work in multiplayer, where people can revive you, but in single player you are most likely going to game over. The easiest fix…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MAGICITE?! GOOD OLD DAYS. RISK OF RAIN 1?! UGH I LOVE IT.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man, this game is so underrated. I bought this as a random little thing, expecting that I wouldn't like it and would refund it after a bit. That's not at all what happened. This game is a masterpiece. From even before you start a run. Right when you open up the game for the first time, you are met with amazing music. You start the game and are met with a screen where you get to see everything there is to get in the game, you see many unique characters, all with unique weapons and abilities,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun game but ATM it has some really not fun mechanics. It would be cool if there was challenges like completing the level in a certain amount of time, or take under this amount of damage that give you rewards. Right now the elite levels suck. Kill a boss mob without using normal attacks or skills? This sucks. Survive for 2 minutes while not opening any chests? This is really tedious and often isn't worth it due to so much power scaling relying on chests. Also the very hard difficulty.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →reminds me of RoR without as much pain and the chaos of the levels are a perfect balance.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game, fun roguelite with simple yet fun abilities and items. dumb fun, cool platforming and an overall simple feel two glaring issues however 1. the grammar can be really hard to understand at times, and awfully inconsistent. 2. at least for me, the game feels a little too easy. even on hard mode, i beat the game on my third run. the first 5 areas can be painstakingly easy as well, difficulty spiking later on but not enough. 4 player might as well be 'story mode' or very easy, as it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →mega fun even when playing solo only thing so far that I don't like is that when you upgrade a skill or item, the numbers that got upgraded don't change to the new amount in the item/skill description so I gotta add it up every time I want to check how much changed also a way to hover over skills or passives that are displayed at the bottom in case I forget what they do would be nice
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually don't like dissing games by saying "it's x but worse", because usually games put their own spin on things and it isn't really a fair comparison. But this game is just risk of rain 1 but you can aim with your mouse and shoot while moving. It's worse in every other way. It's highly derivative, unpolished, poorly designed, and buggy. Now, keep in mind this is me reviewing it at the standard of risk of rain, which may not be entirely fair. If this game was made by someone just getting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It plays like "Risk of rain" and its has a lot of nice gameplay, but the main reason why i say i dont recommend is that the game is still hella buggy and cheats to kill you because of the many bugs. Its early access now but the progress of updates is really slow. I might change this review if the game is actually better. Although i bought this early access game, I don't recommend early access unless other people view it as really fun. Overall Love the gameplay hate the bugs, dont buy unless you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy this yet. It is fun up to floor 6. By the time you get there you will be O-P so the dev decided to add enemies that throw insta-kill bombs at a high rate with low visibility.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly fun game, especially with friends. Some bugs in the mix but the graphics and design are very polished. 10/10 would play again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a fun roguelite. pick it up if its on sale. fun with friends, but it lacks any kind of matchmaking which it could really benefit from.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is very early in its releases and has been updated in my 31 hours playing it at the time of writing. It is great even in this early state. With a little bit of polish this could be an amazing game. 4/5 Pros: - Interesting fast paced roguelike gameplay - 4 Player Co Op - Skins and skill augmentations to change gameplay styles to suit your build - Satisfying ramp up Cons - Terrible Translations, some items or effects are unknown due to ambiguity from translation - Very fast ramp up…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like the game but the Bunny Boss has such an annoying gimmick that significantly slows down the game's pace if you try to kill it, and if you ignore it it has the potential to ruin your run so i wont recommend just out of principle.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far loving this game. A bunch to unlock as far as skill enhancements, skills on actual characters, and looks like theres 18 characters! Excited to keep playing and unlocking more and more.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Real good game with letsa replay ability
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Underrated Game! This game has gone under the radar for so long but is such a good dungeon crawler game. I love both the multiplayer aspect of this game as you use these crazy skills and traits to defeat bosses along with your friends. There are also sooooo many items and weapons too chose upon and utilize. As well as I really like the Dev team that works on this team as they constantly release cool updates and they DO LISTEN TO THEIR COMMUNITY. Amazing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't enjoy playing it single player. It seems more balanced for multiplayer gameplay. It could really use some invincibility frames after getting hit. I would often go from healthy to dead without knowing what happened. The screen can get very cluttered with projectiles (friendly and enemy). The missions and level modifiers aren't super fun
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly addictive. It feels very polished and unlocking things is a fun time. Each character feels unique and I LOVE how the different character skins affect the game-play of that character. It took me roughly 15 hours to beat the game on all difficulties and unlock all classes, but I found a broken build and feel like I definitely rushed through it. Worth the price. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →mindless fun. better played with your best friend.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →YES... Chaotically awesome and extensive build game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is another example of game play over graphics. It's fun because of the variety in experimentation you can do with classes and builds. It's also just pure chaos, as this takes inspiration from Risk of Rain. You'll collect so many items you eventually can't see anymore as everything dies, and you'll be maniacally laughing the whole time. I was able to temporarily grow my character so large he took up the entire screen. 10/10 There are plenty of achievements and unlocks to keep you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute, challenging & fun! It's hard to believe that this amazing game are made by only two people. Props to the producers. 👏👏👏
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very fun and cool
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →simple, cheap, fun, can be played co op. what more do you want?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing little pixel game, When I picked this up I thought I would play it for maybe an hour or 2, boy was I wrong! Cute art style, fun endless gameplay loops,actually decent bosses(could use some tweaks) you become broken so easily but can still die if you don't pay attention, decent item variety, lots of builds, characters are mostly balanced from what I've used, multiplayer is a plus, I'm honestly amazed with how short it's life has been yet how fun and planned out it is. Waiting for more…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's okay but what really annoys me as a new player is that when im choosing a power up, like reading what a power up does, mobs still spawn and attack you, so like I can't really read and learn what certain items or power ups do cause i keep having to move around dodging and attacking mobs, its so annoying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cheap with a lot of content, might feel easy at first but its a challenging game, the rogue like aspect is great, for sure a good snatch PS i played it for almost 400 hours but most of it offline.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game play it with friend and you will enjoy it :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4/10 Decent graphics, good meta progression but actual game play is too relentless and random. You will never have enough time to actually read item descriptions, get an idea of what curses the level has or gain any inkling of whats going on. Enemies will keep respawning constantly and it's just not fun, even if you like stuff like RoR.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very fun roguelike game with lots of potential builds and unlockables. love the art and musics
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dead & Cells but coop. This ♥♥♥♥ was super addicting
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this with my siblings. It was really fun! Unlocked almost all characters in 13.7 hrs of gameplay. Each character also have 'skins' to unlock, which adds some changes to their skillset or buffs, which can give more hours of gameplay! Overall I like it, it's fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is like those old flash games from when "upgrades" was a genre crossed with modern roguelikes. You get the stacking items effects style mid-run upgrades like risk of rain that are INSANELY satisfying to stack and post-game you can spend the currency you accumulated during your runs on upgrading the world, new and more things will spawn in game as you upgrade and you'll unlock new characters and items along the way. The only complaint I have for the entire game is that the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Consider this a neutral review. The game has it's moments, but it's also has a bunch of flaws which feel like unfinished segments, rather than bad design. Biggest strengths Co-op is one. Let's get this out of the way... If I had to summarize this game it's a dumbed down 2D Risk of Rain 2. They also invite that comparison with flat-out copied items. With that said, it offers more things to progress towards than RoR2, which I was excited for. I found this to be a rewarding experience in spite…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is another game where i wish steam had a "neutral" option as such, my "not recommend" mark is a "neutral mark". 1. First off, this game is definitely better off playing with mouse/keyboard. The feature "look/aim in direction of cross hair" in options that you can turn on or off does not work. If it did work, id be able to attack in the direction my character moves with the controller but that is not the case, still need to use the right joystick to aim. Also controller play/control is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It mostly feels like a RoR Copoy, but adds its own features to the formular. The music is good and i really like the artstyle. After 10 hours i mostly have played only 3 of the 19 playable characters so far. Each one feels unique and can be strenghtened by different means. This game can become really grindy as far as it feels (at least for me), but there's some replayability in the solid core gameplay loop that makes up for it. Also don't be fooled by the exterior, the game can be quite…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I mean I'm obv an outlier but I have 96 hours in this game and I just think its fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Maple Story x Risk of Rain" Agreed
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I get why a developer might want to tackle this genre. There aren't many games in it. But there really is nothing here to justify playing it over Risk of Rain 1 or 2. Give me a Clown if you agree!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has very good class design compared to other games of this type, every class seems to have a well thought out intended play style or gimmick that you can build upon. Being able to stack item effects infinitely is also fun. Definitely worth at least a try
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i think this is the risk of rain remake
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i was jumping, pressing right and letting go so i would land on a platform but my character kept going right even with the button released, resulting in me falling off the edge. I had to spam left/right while mid-air. i literally lost on the very first 1-1 screen, it was so bad i wanted to punch my screen
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good game, constant updates

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SO MUCH POTENTIAL
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is great. You know how Mario, even after you finish it, playing it again doesn't suck? The game is like that. What you can do even after you've unlocked everything: 1) If you want to experiment with a build (or just play your favorite one), you can turn off upto 5 items per tier from dropping. --Or if you want a challenge, you can keep them turned on. --There is also a thing in the skill tree where you can affect how items drop / the challenge level / randomness of the game. If you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had many characters unlocked but lost them all when I reloaded the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly i gave it a shot and wasn't disappointed, the pixel art and the game play reminded me of a sadly dead game called Roguelands along with Magicite from same creator SmashGames. i explain my experience with it so far, it is like risk of rain, you kill monster to gain exps and earn currency to buy chest to get items, understand what it purpose and see which fit for your character or game style, once you find quote perfect build for your character your gonna have a blast but don't lay down…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dusk Dog Studio Announces One More Depth for Up to Four Players Dusk Dog Studio built One More Depth around the build-crafting Portal Dungeon never had. Portal Dungeon sold on pixel-art action alone; the new game bets that co-op builds are the draw.
unlabelledView post →Very clunky, I want to enjoy it but the controls are not hitting that feel as other games in the same genre do.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Online Co-Op and Lan Co-Op. But why no Local/Same Screen Co-Op!?>!!! Need Shared Screen Co-Op Please. Can't see the Items/Relics without Holding Tab. Need to see collected upgrades at top or bottom of the screen or on character. Can't zoom in.
