Good at first, but frustrating later
Immortal Redneck is a first person rogue like shooter, seemingly taking inspiration from the likes of Serious Sam. This game has some good parts. The combat is fast paced and has a frenetic pace and you do get a wide of abilities. However, it is mired by several frustrating design choices. To start, it's a horde arena shooter and yet they give you very limited ammunition and lengthy reloads. I find this ruins the fast pace of the combat, as you have to wait for a reload every few seconds, and if you run out of ammo your run is basically over, because the devs didn't think you give you a backup weapon like every other shooter ever. Some enemy attacks are hard to avoid and incredibly punishing. There's one enemy type that explodes into a mass of spikes, and a single one can take your entire health bar. There's not much enemy variety either; they just become bullet sponges as you progress in the game. You do get difference character bonuses in the form of Favors which also have their own special ability. However, most of them are pretty mediocre, especially Ammit, which basically punishes you for using her ability. What is perhaps the worst design decision, however, is the scrolls mechanic. Like most roguelikes, there is a random element. However, unlike say, Binding of Isaac, you have no choice in the matter; you don't know what a scroll does until you pick it, and that can ruin your run. Sometimes it takes away your crosshairs, so you can't hit anything due to the lack of Iron sights and the innate inaccuracy of most weapons. And since you can't waste ammunition due to how little you have, you quickly run into ammo problems. Sometimes it'll slow you down to a crawl. Sometimes all of the text on your hud is replaced with fake hieroglyphics. In short, the Scrolls mechanic exist to pad out the game by introducing forced difficulty, meant to ruin your run and force a restart. Immortal Redneck can be fun, but there are better shooters and roguelikes out there.
