i take it back: this is the closest a roguelike has come to playing well
actually a pretty fun, very simple roguelike
Simple and does what it wants to but I fucking hate the snakes fuck you
It's a fun, tiny romp that becomes more interesting when you remember it came out around the time roguelites were first growing into a genre, but I think it's more frustrating than its worth to actually finish for one simple reason alone: the turrets.
See, the animal enemies are interesting enough, but the game seems to hard-focus on a stationary enemy that has weird shooting patterns and needs to be hit in a very specific spot to kill from the second level onward. This culminates in a mid-game boss that is essentially 4 of them that's allowed to walk around and kill you with splash damage, all the while a new turret slows you down so the projectiles are basically guaranteed to hit. FUCK. THAT.

Rating: 6.9/10 - Average
Doesn't do anything horribly or well enough for me to have any strong feelings towards it.

One of the first rogue-likes/lites I really got into and got me hooked on the genre. I wasn't very good at it at first when I started playing PC games. I would get scared by some of the enemies pretty often which I find hilarious. I came back a few laters and dominated. Love the design and gameplay.
Tu sabes lo que es jugar este juego en el portatil de windows XP de tu padre? Pues yo si, y o dios mio cuando pude jugar a 60 fps, 1080 HD.
Es un juego tan simple de mecanicas, o sea, tienes objetos y demas, pero la base es, corre y dispara. Si hubiera mods de escenarios, seria un american school simulator.

The narrow environments make it feel almost cozy? But the startling monsters lunging at you are almost terrifying. I like the mechanic of having to pick up your limited bullets.

these bullets aren't heavy at all

This is just a really aesthetically pleasing rougelike FPS. I really liked the mechanic of having to retrieve your bullets.
Dope game, a cool idea taken to perfection
finding out this was a terri vellmann classic made a lot of sense, him and doseone know how to make a good atmosphere
Very stylish, but I sort of wish this were just a linear game with set levels instead of a roguelike.
