Enjoyable, but quickly burns out

I was a bit sketch on this game as roguelites/likes tend to become very repetitive, but as GOG is currently giving it away for free I decided to give it a go. Unlike another review I did not find the game impossible after 10 hours, rather, I beat the first pyramid on my second run. That's what makes shooter roguelites enjoyable. You don't need to die 100 times to level up your character, you just need to play skillfully. There is some luck involved, but to say skill is the lesser is wrong. I had 3 of my weapons taken by RNG which gave my current weapon infinite ammo, but that only lasts until another weapon drops. Obviously in my first encounter a flare gun drops, so I'm screwed. Then my assault rifle was swapped with a bow. By sheer chance I got my very first rocket launcher in the last room before the final boss. The real problem though? I had a great run and kept picking up scrolls like a greedy cow which resulted in barely clearing it. Worth noting it'd be hard to clear it in 30 minutes unless you had leveled up a ton and were zooming through. I think my second run was a little over an hour. I'd still give this a 3 though, disregarding it currently being free. The gameplay is solid but after only 2 runs I'm unsure if I want to continue on to the second pyramid as it does get rather monotonous. Such is the nature of a roguelite built on sheer gameplay and no story. The humor isn't exactly on-point either, I'm afraid.

Fun game with a lot of difficulty

This game is great fun. Colors are nice and opponents are interesting. Skill tree gives you some help to progress in game. You might find it a bit too hard at first but after a couple of runs and getting used to scrolls, weapons etc. it begins to be fun. Some scrolls are cursed and give you negative effects, some are positive and give you some advance. They give a nice touch to the game. There is very few cursed scrolls that actually ruin a run, at least after a while. You just have to learn play with them. There is only a couple of weapons that I find quite useless but in all they are great and funny. I disagree with some reviews that weapons have too few bullets. You just can't run and shoot around. Instead you have to do some plans when to shoot opponent and in which order. Level design is a bit too repetitive as there isn't so many different rooms in this game. Just a couple of different rooms put in different order.

Quick fun

No story, goal or character building, just go from room to room, kill everything and collect stuff until you die. And you will die again and again and again, it's hard at the beginning. After every turn you increase your stats and make the next run a little easier. And quite oldschool, you learn how to beat each room, its enemies and how they behave. Doesn't feel repetitive to me, but like training. The layout of the pryramids is generated, a puzzle made of a set of rooms. Also you can collect scrolls that alter gameplay, including annoying bad ones. Also nice design, crossover of egyptian art & art noveau and future disco in the later pyramids.

Smooth, functional, boring

Nothing terribly wrong with IR, but it also brings nothing worthwhile to the table. The "unique" premise adds nothing to the experience but the occasional shitty one-liner. Visuals may be clean and smooth, but everything looks and feels like Play Doh. Enemies are soft and harmless. Guns & sounds totally lack any impact. They also don't autoreload when empty - a choice that works in a tactical shooter like SYNTHETIK, but here along with lengthy reloads that take too long to register as complete, it kills the pace. I might switch weapons instead, but then I just get to stand still after every battle to reload them all. The upgrades are also lukewarm. The tree, including unlockable "classes", consists mostly of incremental stat boosts, w/ only the active abilities offering any real for alternative gameplay. I used 1 medallion for my entire playthrough because nothing else seemed interesting or more useful. Scrolls SUCK. Many have only downsides, and they're completely random - no way to avoid bad ones, no way to strategize and try for specific scrolls to go with a desired build. An easy improvement would be to offer the player a choice of 2+ scrolls whenever they pick one up. I beat the 1st pyramid just to see if the 2nd would offer anything new, but it looks like more of the same. I hate leaving games unfinished, but I feel that whatever IR has left to show will just not be worth my time. Overall, I would describe Immortal Redneck as floaty, shallow, and repetitive. If you want a retro FPS, play DUSK, Ultrakill, or HROT. If you want a roguelike FPS, play SYNTHETIK or Nightmare Reaper. I could only recommend IR as a mindless time-waster, and even then I still wouldn't buy it.
