GraveRun

GraveRun

Early access from 2016 so have to assume this is probably all we get. A bit of a shame really as it has a lot going for it. it’s a really fun little twin stick zombie shooter with a bunch of neat mechanics, upgrades and cute pixel graphics. Seems primarily designed for multiplayer/co-op but it’s great fun solo too. Unfortunately probably owing to early access the campaign is pretty short, still pretty fun though.

Some games that don’t get finished you shrug and move on, some are missed that little bit more, this is one of those that had some real promise to it so it’s a shame we didn’t get to see a bit more it even now.

Fun game to kill time, easy to play and get addicted to. Pixelated graphics, smooth gameplay, many different combinations of weapons allows you to regulate the difficulty of playing the game, some are stronger and synergize better with certain weapons. Although coop is recommended, buying the game at full price is not so.

Are you a fan of classic shmups ??? Then this game will have you covered !!!

Fast paced action, good music, choice progression and a Rouge-like RNG system that keeps the replay value high. And more to come, of course, looking forward to that :)

I love this game!

Real player with 10.7 hrs in game

I loved 1976, but 2076 feels so much better than 1976. The Graphics are really great (a video cannot transport how good this looks in VR), and the Gameplay has so much R-Type vibes plus Hand-Interaction with the envirnoment that is only possible in VR. The Immersion Zones feel great too (switching from sidescrolling to a Cockpit-Perspective).At the moment of writing i am stuck at the endboss of level 2, the traffic kills me everytime. Maybe i have to practice more, or is it too much traffic? ;) As a guy in the 50s who grown up with the Oldschool Arcade Games this was a Nobrainer to me.. 10/10

Latest Review:

I’ve been playing the game on the easier difficulty and it has been fun.

I really like the art between battles. The art in battles is kind of good too.

The gameplay improved with the last update and I’m not dying instantly now.

I think what the game needs more is to be more polished in general. It’s a pretty cool concept and the execution is not bad, but needs more polishing.

I hope the devs can keep improving it, because I think the game is something special.

For now I give it a 3.5 of 5 stars.

This game is so much fun and so addictive and reminds me of some of my favourite arcade games growing up. It does not get boring and repetitive even having to restart after you die as the levels are never exactly the same as what you just did and because you can buy upgrades to your ship as you play those levels, they change each time and they are some surprises you do not expect. Another great feature is getting points that you can allocate to certain areas of your ship eg: weapons, shields, speed and you don’t those points when you have to restart a game. You also have the option to reset where you’ve allocated them so you can redo the skill tree if you mistakenly allocate some or change everything completely if you want to experiment with what suits your type of play style. I can’t recommend this game highly enough.

I’m from Buenos Aires, and I say kill ‘em all!

Disclaimer:

The main developer of the game is a good friend of mine and I’ve played many iterations of it over the years, so to say that I’m biased would be a bit of an understatement. As a result however, I like to believe that this also leaves me in a position where I have a good understanding of how the game will continue to evolve as it is being worked on.

That being said, as is customary let’s start with the pros as of today:

  • The controls are responsive and buttery smooth.

Introduction

As I absolutely adore the DOOM series and similar titles, Demon Blast naturally caught my eye on Steam’s Store Page immediately. Its colourful, cartoonish art style, along with the promise of killing hordes of demons, was enough for me to give it a try, despite it being in the Early Access. The harsh reality is that this game is unfinished and clunky to play, as you would expect from the Early Access. However, the promised updates are still not released, which is why I finally decided to write a review, as the game’s current content does not offer enough to justify its price for me.

The idea of a roguelike with a touch of doom is reaaaally great, in fact was pretty fun until…

There are 2 bugs are killling me (literally)

1st one the enemy range atack pass the doors and hits you

2nd one the have a issue with the mouse like if you change of dpi for talking with npcs of hitting stuff with your hands.

I know it’s an early acess and you expect bugs but this make the game nearly unplayable and really hard
