Bright Memory

This should be given as a demo. It's less than an hour long, and it only gets more game-time because it asks you to finish it three times. For some reason. I don't know why. I quit at the middle of the second time. Why I quit? The combat. The enemies are the definition of bullet sponges. And badly balanced. No, I'm not a very good gamer, but this feels just unfair. Especialy the final boss fight. Full of places you can stuck and die because you couldn't dodge the enemy attacks. A dodge move which is essential if you want to survive against even the smaller enemies. Anyway, the DEMO is action packed, and it cuts off excactly where the full game will begin. They say if you got it in early access, you will also get the full game on release. Still, I wouldn't play it unless the developers address the combat unfrairness. Stay away.

I've had an eye on this game for a while now, and seeing that it has now exited the early access phase I thought I'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, I can not even play the game I bought because it doesn't support rebinding of keyboard controls AT ALL. Since I have been playing computer games before WASD was even a thing I have adopted my own approach of binding keys centered around usage of the arrow keys, so no, just "rolling with it" is not an option - rebinding controls is a process that is easier and less painful than rewiring brain patterns. I still have hope that this game will see the addition of key remapping soon, but until that happen, this negative review stays here.

Doom meets DMC and Dark Souls. Kind of. But the difficulty is alright on the first go through and you dont have to redo a lot if you die. Looking forward for more.

This game is about 40 minutes long, it can easily be beaten in one sitting, but it is incredibly fun for the whole thing! It feels like playing a call of duty game on 1.5x speed with an improved melee combat system with multiple attacks and combo potential. The game rewards high speed play with a DMC style rating system that goes up to SSS depeding on how well you're playing, which I do think gives the game replay value if you want to go for a higher score. Normally I'd be upset about the length but since I would love to replay this game in a few months and go for a higher score, plus it was made by a single dev in their free time, I don't mind that the game is about as long as an episode of a TV show, plus when on sale it's only 4 USD so it's incredibly cheap. I would highly recommend this game! There's also a mobile version if you want to play a high speed shooter on your phone, I don't know why you'd want to do that but keep that in mind if you'd rather have this game portably.

+ looks pretty cool (in the first 10 minutes of gameplay) - sometimes weapons and abilities stop working or just don't respond to keys.. - the UI is kindof meh.. - most of the assets are pretty low res/effort when looking from close distance.. - the action, the mechanics, the enemies, the everything is mashed together in a mix of one hour..
