Fun Roguelike Shooter

This game does not have a ton of depth, but I really enjoyed playing it. Each time you start a game you pick a base character, then tackle the 5 randomly generated floors of the Ziggurat! All combat is arena style with heavy circle-strafing strategies. But the game does throw in some random scenarios and variables to spice things up. Learning the enemy types, upgrades, and weapons/spells was the main fun for me. You want to build up a well rounded character as you progress. But sometimes the randomness of the Ziggurat seems unfair (looking at you Shrines...). It took me 30 attempts to complete the game, each attempt being around 20 to 60 minutes. Also I got the game on sale, so my expectations were not that high. I had a lot of fun with this game over 1-2 weeks of playing nearly daily.

Solid Doom-like

I can't say that the game impresses me in any way or it opens any kind of new horizons. But it does deliver the same kind of fun that old-scholl first person shooters like Doom do. It is kind of short however and replayability isn't really there as you will see most of what you can see in the first successful playthrough and characters, though varied, play in a similar way. Other than that, you can have a hell of a lot fun in fast-paced fights agains dozens of enemies throwing tons of bullets at you.

If Serious Sam was a Wizard

It'll scratch your itch for first person bullet hell gameplay and then some. There's three kinds of weapons plus one basic weapon that regenerates ammo. All your favorites are here - spread shot, homing shots, explosives...nothing really groundbreaking is here, but that's not a bad thing. It's a polished, fun love letter to quake-esque FPS games of yesteryear with a great coat of paint reminiscent of Hexen. There's not much else to say about it -- besides that it's priced perfectly at fifteen bucks. Go get it!

Excellent shooter from the fantasy world

Excellent "brainless" shooter for the relax. That´s why I liked it. If you expect comprehensive skills development or tactical game, choose rather different game.

I wanted to love it

The graphics are neat enough (although the animations could be much better). And the atmosphere does the trick. However. There's a constant stuttering with the framerate and it usually microfreezes when loading from room to room. And for my taste the enemy spawn is too random. In a single room at any given point of a run all types of enemies can spawn at once. Zones don't really feel like zones, it's all a single corridor. Plus the fact that having many folks of every kind at the same time kind of kills the strategic approch, since it's all going to be too chaotic and you'll be busy just shooting at everything you can see. I've completed two runs and I don't really feel like going for a third anytime soon.
