I'm gonna have to say that I have a somewhat mixed feeling overall on this game. On one hand, I love that "playing Nuclear Throne" feeling I am getting while playing, but at the same time, something just feels off.

I have several gripes which are, ultimately, making me not enjoy this game overall. I'm having fun many times, but other times, I'm just annoyed or frustrated or straight up bemused.

Let me clarify with some of my negative experiences:

1). The enemy AI is just completely and utterly unpredictable. Many of them move in random directions AND at random intervals. I don't mind my game having some difficulty spiking, but there just doesn't seem to be any way I can predict what any of them are gonna do most of the time and given the shallow FOV you are stuck with, it seems like an arbitrary way of increasing the difficulty? "They" can see you.. but you can't see them? Hmmf.. The final boss in the first and second "acts" are easier than the litters of enemies around them leading up to those battles.

2). Touching on the above, but one of the mechanics to mitigate the difficulty is of course, a dodge manoeuvre.... a manoeuvre though... that often takes you out of one danger and slaps you right bang and centre into another one because the direction isn't super easy to control (playing with controller), and the distance you cover is obnoxiously far. And that distance is a major part of the problem... because of the limited view distance, there's often NO WAY of knowing if dodging in a specific direction is a sensible choice. 9 times out of 10, I actively AVOID dodging because it often gets me into more trouble than I was in, in the first place. Where's the sense in that? And I don't even think it's fixable in the game's current state.

Advice for the devs?? Maybe reduce the distance covered, and add an increased amount of time invincible after dodging - and to prevent it being too OP, just increase the delay on recuperating them?

3). The RNG... It's partly due to the above that I feel whether or not I have a good run is just purely down to the complete and utter RNG of the game. Will a good weapon drop? No? Well consider your run royally f*cked. Half decent gun? OK... crap attachments drop and crap attachments in the mini "stores".. your run is royally f*cked. Spawn in a procedurally generated level that backs you in to a corner with questionable weapons... royally f*cked.. and so it goes on. The game seems more about luck than skill.. and I think that's fundamentally why I don't find it hitting that reward part of my brain.

4). The progression skills that you can put points into are pretty boring and so gradual that I often barely notice them making a difference (I'm sure they do.. but where's the fun in any of them?). Also.. level 15 is the maximum a character can go.. but if you want to use the "final" skill you have to remove most of the points you have elsewhere as these require 5 skill points EACH. So far, I've found you are better off NOT using them.. which ultimately makes them appear poorly designed.

5). The individual character skills seem a little useless in most scenarios. Even with powerups - which I don't take most of the time because they are less useful than health or ammo upgrades anyway. The character I end up playing most so far is the guy with the shields for a skill, and I find that's because his shield skill is 100x more useful than dodge to get me out of a sticky situation.

Sadly for me personally, I don't see an easy route to bring this game out of the current "rut" shall we say. These mechanics will need to be reworked from the ground up and tested thoroughly before I would consider the game "fixed" and change me to a positive review.

Others may feel differently about the game and these are just my opinions of course. You might enjoy everything the game has to offer so far, but right now, it's just not what I wanted or expected. I have another game from the devs of Dead Cells in my library called "Windblown" and I have a similar sad feeling about the state of that game too. However, I am a MASSIVE supporter of small/indie studios and I would love to see this game get better. We should all support these smaller studios more and at least give these types of games a go. I'm at 10 hours played as it is and for £11? I cannot argue with that. I've bought some "AAA" games before and played some of them less than that.

The game just needs some more love x
