    With a first major update none of the core issues have been fixed. Solo is still borderline unplayable, most of the powerups you get either do nothing meaningful or not enough. You can only progress game with extremely specific build of best powerups, there is no room for improvisation, trying something new or just getting unlucky choices.

    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the game in the current stage. The devs took a vastly different approach than they did with the demos/playtests and while I enjoyed the changes, they made the grind too boring (you have to do a certain action so many times to unlock something) and while it wouldn't normally be an issue, EVERYTHING is locked behind a similar grind system.

    'Cautious recommend' at the moment. Overall had a lot of fun with this. Am a big Risk of Rain 2 fan, as well as games like Roboquest, Witchfire, Gunfire Reborn, etc, and this title slots well into the 'roguelite shooter' genre. The movement is a strong suit.

    I hate writing negative reviews, however, All the enemies are bullet sponges and the movement is clunky. NOT a fun experience, with a very repetitive and unoriginal gameplay loop. I love me a good roguelite and have played many, from roboquest to isaac, but find this one to lack any sort of depth as compared to the other games I mentioned. As for looks, it's a very aesthetically pleasing game with clean effects but that's unfortunately about as far as the positives go. I'm sorry, Atomic…

    Eh. I think it is really fun. But terrible fps / optimization + bad game design choices makes this a not yet. Game has tons of potential tho but I would say dont buy yet. Let devs cook and improve the game further. Come back once out of EA and see if they did or not tbh.

    Nope. Horrible reload mechanic (without a manual reload) and half of the buffs offered to you depend on it? I'm not playing Gears Of War here, I don't care for perfect reload this is supposed to be a bullet heaven. Levels feel tiny. You finish one, back to camp, can't do a few in succession and actually become strong like RoR2 or any other similar game of the genre. Upgrades are mostly junk. Unless you can upgrade your gun, most of them are ♥♥♥♥. "stun with perfect reload" "chill…

    It seems that a lot of bad reviews causing this to currently be "Mixed" were from about 3 weeks ago, and from my experience in the last two days it seems that the devs have addressed a lot of those issues, because there was a bit of early access-style glitchiness but certainly nothing that would make the game unplayable. What's here so far is definitely not a bad replacement for something like Risk of Rain 2 or even something like Back 4 Blood, and I can only hope the devs turn this into…

    [Warning! Long review! Lots of yapping ahead!] I REALLY want Steam to have the "Maybe" or somewhere in-between option when reviewing anything. This game is the epitome of "would maybe recommend" to me, because for every good thing it does, the game really has five bad things or poorly implemented things in stead of that one good thing. Gameplay is ALMOST fun, especially after patches, the enemies are no longer walking sponges with slow movement, and mind-numbing process of dispatching, but…

    Where it stands right now, it's not even close to being worth spending money on it. Poor balancing. You get nonsensically low stat boosts, and gimmicks with even lower trigger chances. It definitely feels like it favors high fire rate builds a lot better since you'll more easily get more buck for your bang with effects. Boss balancing is ridiculous with superglue lock-on and projectile vomit on top of poor telegraphing of attacks. The lazer tell on the purple chameleon boss is practically…

    This game, no matter how many promises they make, is not worth the asking price as it stands. There's a handful of repetitive, samey items, the movement and guns feel lackluster and plinky, the gameplay loop is HYPER repetitive and grindy for no reason other than to make you run out your 2 hour refund window, and the developers are, in my experience, quite rude to people who were making complaints about issues like enemies spawning by the dozens directly ontop of you.

    [後半に日本語レビューあり] A 3D Co-op Survivors-like Roguelite TPS Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland devastated by the "Harvest Festival" explosion, this is a third-person cooperative roguelite shooter. Supporting up to four players in online co-op, each run — called a "Picnic" — has players mowing down monster hordes while building out their loadouts. The standout feature is how the game translates wave-survival gameplay into a fully 3D space. The "Impulse Gear" system — swinging, dashing, and…

    I want to like this game, but I had more fun with the alpha version of the game pre steam release. Scaling of health and damage on enemies is way too high for solo players. Enemies take soooo long to kill. Individual run times are also way too long. And unlocks/progression feels totally random, not like I'm earning it or working towards a goal. At least pre-steam I just had access to everything to mess around with different weapons and such.

    At the present time, I can't recommend this game. The concept is solid, though doesn't seem to do much to set itself apart from other entries in the genre. Not necessarily a bad thing, though. What I do have a problem with are the seemingly nebulous unlocks(made even more so with the most recent update). Some of the previously available information is now obscured with in-game language text meant to be unreadable, thus seeking out particular unlocks teased in the Discovery menu is no longer…

    Its a decent game but the performance issues are insane, I play with 3 of my friends and when too many enemies spawn all of a sudden everything becomes delayed and jittery, this happens to everyone in the game. I like the game but honestly I can not recommend the game as of right now if you are playing anything but solo.

This is the kind of thing I love to see, and I'm excited to see it develop. Right now, I think it's missing a little something I can't quite put my finger on...probably just more content.

    I wanted to like it.. but it's just not good. Imagine a survivor-like where the Garlic item at its first rank does 1/20th of the damage of any of the weapons, at the start of the game. That's what you're looking at. No balance, and seemingly only a quarter of a thought put into any one weapon, utility, or upgrade. The power ups are gross, the mathematically relevant ones are random and take away obscure stats, the game play is weirdly slow.. but some monsters with bad mechanical…

There are micro-stutters that last up to 430 milliseconds on a 9800X3D + RTX 5080. And on the 2nd game we fought a boss that shoots a laser across the map and terrain, and the boss spammed the laser more often than your dodge cooldown, you can't dodge it any other way.

    Actually quite fun and does a good job at translating the survivor-like gameplay loop to a 3D environment. The characters are quite fun and the devs are actually responsive to player feedback. The biggest complaint I would have is some lack of build diversity. There aren't very many evolutions, and they're really strong so there's not much incentive to collect any items that don't evolve.

The only real downside I could see is rushing through and maxing everything out and wondering how the extended fun will be. Hoping there is a lot more to come, that won't drag the game play down like I had experienced in Gunfire Reborn. Overall I recommend this game to any Rogue-lite player. Enjoy.

    The game is rough- there's no way around that. However, the amount of charm present in its art and gameplay lets me look past the bugs and see the core of the game, which is fun. However however, the bugs and lack of polish are very present. If you're someone who is okay with that, I suggest you pick it up and give it a go, maybe you'll find something special and something who's success you'll root for. That's where I'm at, at least. If you're reading this devs, keep up the good work. There's…

    This game needs a lot of work before I'd recommend it to anyone. In its current state it's an exercise in frustration. The game started out fun, but as I play more it seems to get harder. I don't feel like any of my upgrades actually upgrade me. I was excited to finally unlock a second weapon (the grenade launcher) but when I tried to use it I discovered that it's trash to play with. The same thing for the 3rd weapon unlock, the pistol. Why would I take a pistol into combat over an assault…

    I won't sugar coat it: The game is rough... - Enemies spawn and scale at ridiculous rates. - Your damage scales at a pitiful rate. - Builds feel very feast or famine. - Unlocks are put behind either large numbers or late-stage encounters. And yet, I still recommend giving this game a shot. It scratches that Risk of Rain itch for me, and with more eyes and feedback on it hopefully the developers can make the adjustments and fixes to really make the game shine.
