this is a well-made game that fundamentally disregards any respect for or knowledge of what it means to make bullet patterns. BIAS ALERT: i am a developer of a game that is also deeply based around bullet patterns (overall its a pretty different type of game) im leaving this review for three reasons, all of which have to do with the many patterns (rooms) in the game. first: the vast majority of every single pattern …

Highly recommended—runs perfectly on the Steam Deck. I played "Disc Room" during a weekend train ride to visit a friend, and I didn’t even notice how long I’d been on the road. I love pure bullet-hell chaos, so I really had a blast with this little indie gem. It’s challenging, and super entertaining! The rooms are extremely varied with a massive amount of different disc types and challenges. It took me about 6 hours …

This is a deceptively simple game: run around single screen rooms avoiding sharp spinning discs. But within this simple premise there is complexity and surprising flexibility. The character upgrades considerably change up the gameplay, providing you with a rather tactical moveset. It gets quite hard - I didn’t open up all the rooms - but I thoroughly enjoyed weaving around all those monstrous discs. The charming …

A straightforward bullet hell game set in tight rooms where you dodge buzz saws to survive as long as possible. The biggest advantage of this game is how easy it is to pick up and start playing. You can instantly dive in and enjoy dodging saws, and when I first tried it, I ended up playing for 4 hours straight during my first session. I also appreciate how each level only requires you to survive for 10-20 seconds, …

Had this game on my wishlist for a while now and I got to admit I was waiting for it to go 90% off since it didn't look that interesting but now that I tried it out ... the dodging deadly discs bit works out to be a fine gameplay core around what the dungeon traversal hinges upon. So get it... or wait for that eventual 90% off sale :) ADDENDUM: Been playing it on and off in spurts... It's a pretty good dodge-em up …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's really difficult to recommend this experience to anyone, even someone who like some masocore titles like I do. It's fun for a couple of hours, but then it becomes extremely tedious. I can appreciate the near-instant replay functionality that is an absolute must in this genre, but some of the challenges and "puzzles" are just awfully designed. At some point the whole method of beating the more difficult rooms becomes doing the same imperfect approach literally hundreds and hundreds of…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ultimately this is a middling review. It's not recommended, but only because Steam does binary choices in reviewing. I had fun with the game for the short time I played it, but it becomes worse and worse the more you work at improving your score (which is kinda the point of games like this). The idea is different rooms you have to survive in or complete small puzzle goals to work your way across the ship. Rooms get more difficult as you go and there is even a hard mode with really difficult…

neutral · AI labelView post →Disc Room (85% off, $2.24) - this underloved game is packed full of secrets and challenge. There is no offense, you can only hope to avoid the giant, spinning saw blades. Clean, attractive visuals, killer score, and plenty to do- this great package deserves to be held in higher esteem.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100% Completion took about 6 hours and felt fair. The first credit roll isn't really the end of the game. There's quite a few more puzzles and challenges that are rewarding to do. Lobotomy was the hardest room for sure, but it didn't take too long. It's a cool take on bullet hell games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disc Room is a very simple game. It is very much a "what you see is what you get" kind of experience. The player navigates through a series of rooms which are laid out in a grid. Each room has it's own unique types of saw blades which spawn in with their own unique abilities and behaviors. Over the course of playing through the "Normal" difficulty rooms (there is also an entire additional map of "Hard" rooms that can be unlocked, though I found them much easier to clear than the "Normal"…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The earliest moments of Disc Room are brilliantly executed through a clever design philosophy, but this creatively puzzling experience slowly devolves into frustration when artificial difficulty overtakes strategy. Those initial good impressions were a byproduct of the open-ended progression paired with uniquely thoughtful unlock conditions, rooms, challenges, and secrets. Seemingly simple abilities contained depth that allowed various approaches, uses, and interactions. These aspects excelled.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was great until the final level. The final level is the most brain dead, RNG based and unfair level I have ever played. The countless saws overlap each other without an indication so you can't see them sometimes. Not only that but by complete random chance you can be enveloped by saws from all sides and die without any chance at surviving. All the abilities on this level are pretty useless besides slowdown and barely dash. At least HALF of my playtime is spent on the final level. It…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really would like to recommend this game, as a lot of the design ideas are interesting and fun at first glance. unfortunately, since everything (projectile spawn locations, directions, bounce directions) is randomized, it really just results in an unfun mess at a higher level (last few areas + hardmode). some levels seem entirely down to rng as you'll be put into unwinnable situation after unwinnable situation. and when you complete these frustrating levels, it's not satisfying as you just…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short, fast, addicting. Didn't even know it was made by members of Vlambeer, but it shows. They know their game design.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun little bullet-hell game. In some rooms, the RNG can get a little bit daunting, but you can get over it after a few tries. You beat the normal rooms in 20 seconds and the hard ones in 10 seconds, so it is perfect for quick sessions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game would be so much better as a rogue-like than what it actually is. The game requires you to fulfil missions, more so than just survive. This could be purposefully killing yourself on various saws, which feels antithetical to how you'd want to play the game, which is survive as long as possible, or unlock rooms through achieving a time or surviving a wave of sorts. The game is more like a very stripped down Metroidvania where you unlock abilities and rooms to progress, which for this…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Brilliant little game to play in short bursts on the Steam Deck
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game feels kinda small in terms of levels, but the devs packed a ton of interesting things into those levels. There's some very cryptic but fun puzzles going on. Feels like exploring an alien structure you found orbiting Jupiter. Also feels like a minimalist, but very fun indie game about not touching the giant spinning discs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →32. If you want a tight bullet hell (ish) action game with some light puzzle layers over it, Disc Room is a delightful little montage of variations on the simple idea of a room full of deadly spinning blades. It's as restrained as it is clever and its gory-but-cute art style is icing on the cake.
positive · AI labelView post →A good game that falls off after a while Disc Room is a pure bullet hell where most of the time you will be focused on dodging discs (saws) while completing objectives to unlock more rooms. Throughout the game you will unlock different abilities that will help you dodge discs and alter your playstyle as you see fit. Abilities These abilities create new interactions and strategies that the game mostly makes use of, but most of the time you will be alternating between only two or three of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →they should do a mega budget show in the style of Alice in Borderland around the game Disc Room
neutral · AI labelView post →Even on sale ($2.24) I don't recommend this one unless you love repetitive RNG based challenges. I made it to the last level in about 2 hours and after dealing with the multi-stage boss too many times realized I wasn't having that much fun and this was the "end" of the game. Unless you want to chase high scores there isn't enough meat here at full price and barely enough when on a discount. I don't know why the rooms are RNG instead of set patterns. It's too short and too repetitive even with…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game. It is much better with a controller than a keyboard. Also, Lobotomy can die in a hole. I spent about 6 hours on that one level alone trying to 100% the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you want to suffer, and have fun doing it. This is the game for you. Fast paced and rage inducing in all the right ways with just a little bit of puzzle mixed in. I like it a lot but it makes my hands hurt.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wish this game had dlc its that good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who is a very big fan of the bullet hell genre of games, this game is incredibly well crafted. It took me around two and a half hours to beat the main story which is pretty solid, as there wasn't a single point where I got bored, or even angry, which is mainly because every level was actually made well, and practically every time I died was due to my own error rather than ♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemy spam. Every level had it's own gimmick and I didn't have a single level that was bad in any way. The…

It was real fun to try and keep myself alive the most amount of time. The art is cute and reminds me of some type of comic books Although no word is spoken in any of the little cutscenes, the story is intriguing and makes me question what is happening in this universe.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disc Room is a lovely, gruesome game that centers itself around. Well. Discs in a room. It's is my latest addition, and a wonderfully fun addition to my collection of "games that enable my procrastination." Anyone else have those? You’re this astronaut person, and there’s a loose story. Avoid the discs. But also… die by the discs… because that’s how you collect them. Live by the discs, die by the discs. The game connects a bunch of rooms together, clustered by theme, and they lock off…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring, poorly designed, waste of time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Worth it on sale for 50% off or more, but $15 is a crime for a game you can 100% in 5 hours.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i mean its ok gets pretty boring 4/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I play(ed) in that fashion: - Yoku's Island Express (2D platformer) - Crumble (3D platformer) - Disc Room (2D bullet hell type game) - Sludge Life (short open world chill game) - Mini Metro - Minecraft (yes, really. Requires setup, specific mods and playing on creative/peaceful settings if muted)
neutral · AI labelView post →I am a huge fan of gameplay distilled down to its barest essence (especially bullet hells), but Disc Room was perhaps a little too bare. Room design and abilities are not utilized to their full potential, the challenge feels a little lacking, and the game length is way too short. Ultimately I would recommend, but not at full price. 7/10

The "Hard" rooms (Not from hard mode, just hard rooms in general) that this game has are absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. There's an achievement that asks you to get 20 seconds on every room. There are some where this is almost impossible UNLESS you have the luckiest run in human kind. And there are some rooms in HARD mode where NOT EVEN THE DEVS got the times they ask for unlocking new…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is quite fun for a short time, but by the time you hit the dark levels where the lights go out, or flash, or you can only see at all using the slow motion ability for a limited period, it just loses any entertainment value it had and becomes a boring slog instead. Sure, I could randomly survive ten seconds by pushing inputs and hoping that I don't run into a saw blade I can't see on a black screen, but why bother? The game isn't worth it. The levels where you can actually see what…
