I've been a fan of Scumhead's works for a little while now, so when the Kickstarter for this game went up, I backed it immediately...and I'm pretty happy I did.

This was such a blast to play through. I love the Metroid influence, and I think it was executed pretty well. Some of the grotesque and haunting enemy designs were quite something to behold as well. The in-game lore for this is pretty damned dark, but I liked it a lot, and I thought the ending wrapped it all up pretty nicely.

My only complaints about this are that it's really on the short side, only taking me about 2 & 1/2 hours to finish and that it's also pretty easy in general.

I still think Shrine 2 is Scumhead's (ALSO Mengo's) best game, but Vomitoreum is pretty great still by its own right.
