Added new cosmetic items in the latest update....which you can't get without paying for them. Not directly, of course. Because you need a microtransaction currency named "clonebux". I figured this was something that AAA game companies would do, not indie studios. Disappointing.

I LOVE roguelikes, Risk of Rain being one of my favorite franchises, so I wasn't suprised when this game appealed to me. The combat is fluid and incredibly satisfying, all the different playstyles are fun, and it's one of my favorite games. The story mode is decent (the cutscenes are very chopped) but I think the challenges are where most of the fun is at, since I'm a hardcore completionist. If you're looking for …

An amazing game thats still being worked on 5 full years later. Its a labor of love thats gone a long way from its beginnings. The combat is incredible, its neat and doesnt feel clunky. The limb damage mechanic is great it makes you so much more nervous to take those hits, and so much more rewarding to be able to live afterwards, Ive hobbled my way on one leg all the way to platinum. Id 100% recommend this game, and …

JUST BUY IT ALREADY This game takes practically no power to run (seriously) I was using integrated graphics from 14 years ago and I had basically no lag. This game is amazing. The announcers are funny, the upgrades are good, the gameplay is good, the story is good, the mechanics are good, the multiplayer is good, the signal player is good, everything is good. If that didn't convince you perhaps this will you can a …

80% of the 230 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Clone Drone in the Danger Zone. The complaint that keeps coming up: microtransactions for cosmetics in a paid game. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Beta versions of Clone Drone in the Danger Zone received favorable reviews. Critics praised its voxel style and simple gameplay, and often commented on the game's difficulty in the endless mode. Steam gave Clone Drone in the Danger Zone a 10/10. Kotaku reviewer Heather Alexandra said that "Each victory feels satisfying.

I got a free month of Game Pass and am digging into whatever's interesting as a result, and man, I'm really glad I finally tried Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, even though it did not actually look like my kind of game; I just let myself be influenced by Steam's overwhelmingly positive reviews—and they're all correct! ~~What really threw me for a loop (since I only watched the trailer and didn't…

One moment I’m a confident cyber-warrior slicing enemies like a legend, the next I’m a footless torso desperately hopping away from doom. I’ll feel unstoppable for roughly six seconds before a spider-bot vaporizes me, a random arrow finds my face, or I backflip confidently into a sawblade like a metallic lemming. Meanwhile, the announcers cheerfully…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really solid game, which was definitely worth picking up on discount. Despite multiplayer feeling incredibly tacked on and vestigial, even the game's non-singleplayer offerings felt alright. The latest update added unicycles, which are cool, but also added microtransactions, making it a game which i cannot, in good faith recommend paying money for.

That's a lot compared to the price of the game, but actually super low compared to most other games with paid skins out there ATP (I'm looking at you COD). Also, instead of the commentators telling you "Buy Clonebucks!" every time you preview a skin, they now do a unique quip about that skin. Significantly less annoying IMO Original Review: Game itself is still really good but…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a great game, but coming back after such a long time to add microtransactions to a game that is so much fun is just putting a bad taste in my mouth. they should've made the skins a little 5 euro/dollar skinpack dlc for people who like the game and want to further support it. please reconsider this policy doborog. And keep in mind whether you support microtransactions when getting this game.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →paying over 40 dollars in a 20 dollar game to get all the cosmetic items is kinda cringe bro. ESPECIALLY when it is so few cosmetics. Mods have been giving us over 1000 free cosmetics for years. The additions in the newest update seem neat but I feel like they just stockpiled a lot of small updates and bug fixes over the last couple years to justify adding a premium currency in a major update. It is still a good game, no more good will
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to love playing this game with friends, but what the hell is this new update? Microtransactions? Are we serious? This game is already almost dead, but wow now you REALLY killed it. Great job of acting just like the AAA companies that everyone hates!

Fast paced gameplay that gets you hooked, with many challenges to test your skills. Not only that, but the development team for this game is actually amazing. Constantly listening to fans and adding fun updates and just being great people. There's no respawn unless you get the extra life perk, which challenges you to use skill and be…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game but a little weird that they decided to randomly add microtransactions. It makes this game look like some filthy mobile game. The issue isn't that they wanted to add skins, even paid ones at that. But instead you gotta buy some weird robo coin that as said, makes this look like a weird mobile game. It just feels like they are trying to leach the last dollars out of their community before this game goes completely irrelevant.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absolutely love this game but cannot abide microtransactions being added 4 years post release. if you want to keep making money off of this game, just sell dlc man i'd be happy to continue supporting your work but this is pathetic EDIT: sorry, the game first became available 8 years ago, not 4. even more baffling and insulting

I literally played the demo as much as a paid game for a month until I bit down—so hard that, once, when I had my phone in hand and intended to take a shower, I ended up crouching on the bathroom floor furthering a run for an hour before finally pausing to return to the real world.

It was also possible to make the skins available without microtransactions and add some unique skins as rewards for community events.

I hate the cash grab, microtransactions added after 2+ years of no updates. Then of course adding the slightly more customizable character at the same time as the "give us more money" for what equates very little actual value. There is an option for spending 40$ on a single "Clonebux" transaction.. gtfo. Thanks, I hate it. Yes, I know it's optional. Doesn't make it any less disgusting…
