If I could describe this game in one word… it’d be…
Lazy.
Look, I wanted to like this game, I love boss arena bullet hell games. One hit kill? Bring it freaking on! Taste the full color spectrum of mythical birds with unique elemental stuff? I’ll get my box of cereal ready! HELL YEAH WE’RE GONNA PECK SOME… oh.
So by boss Arena you mean have tough (high hp) enemy sway side to side with an attack gimmick. Ok…not much of a boss but ok…do they multi phase at least? Well if by multi fast you mean they throw in an additional attack and attack faster then…sure. They have a “Final” attack that if you do enough damage to them you can bypass…and that’s about it.

First of all: This is not a classic Shoot’em Up, because all you will be doing here is one bossfight after the other. There is no real story behind it, and if there was maybe a small table of text in the beginning of the game, I have totally forgotten about it, as it doesn’t matter anyway. This game is about pure action and reaction spread across 100 levels and even more challenge levels (if you dare to try them).
Although each of these levels consists of a relatively small amount of assets when it comes to background or enemy types, they are mixed up constantly so the game manages through this restriction to give the player a completely new challenge on each end every level. Where in between there are next to no loading times, wich makes the game nonstop action and because of that very enjoyable and fast paced itself.

The game in a nutshell tries to be a “Risk of Rain” from the Top down perspective.
Does it do that well?
Mostly Yes. characters play diverse, peaks are meaningfull. The Time Vs Stronger Enemies Mechanic works fine and creates challenge.
Each level you have To gather certain objects on the map, to start a teleporter and fight of enemies and eventually a boss. The gathering is a rather repetitive Task, but since you only have hints at the teleporter parts position (But at least DO have those) you can search and find them systematicaly. I wish there would be more and different obstracles on the map though.

Also, the mechanics are tight, the numbers are fun and most stat boosts are kept small. Some really fun items, like the worm necklace and the one that inverts the colors, and the one that zooms you out, make the game brand new to play with when you pick them up.

Great game to play with friends. Race to beat the bosses mode and team statues mode are the best in my opinion. In the bosses mode you try to level up to 30 as fast as possible, get the coloured door key and fight the boss. Kill all the bosses and you become the arena god. In statues mode your team has to kill a statue to convert it to your team (the statues fight back against the opposing team). Capture all of the statues to win the game.
For a free game it has a great amount of content. I bought the full game and it’s worth it just for the BEEshop character. There is a lot of good character variety and it’s very satisfying driving away in your clown car or jamming on your guitar shooting music notes at somebody. Make sure you try all of the characters.

Having a lot more fun that I thought I’d be having. Love the colours, effects and the camera shakes on impact.
I absolutely recommend, especially for an insanely low price like that

SYNTHETIK 2
Is this game fun? Early game is frustrating. The upgrade system is overhauled. Don’t expect synthetik 1. Think of it as a knock off. similar mechanics, and familiar look, but new game. Items work different, upgrades you stack up till you hit a keosk and then upgrade all you want. Cost varies based on rarity. I think.
Are upgrades new? yeah. Same as before? kinda, similar. Same goes with guns, and items.
Now the bad.
-The AI wayfinding/pathmaking is broken. The AI is stupid.

To summarize my thoughts, try the game if the following applies to you:
•You’ve never played Synthetik
•You didn’t like the first Synthetik for minor or unfixed reasons.
•You like fresh experiences.
•You enjoy a good game, regardless of genre or predefined categorization made by the masses.
•You enjoy a thumping, lively soundtrack with plenty of room for quiet time.
•You enjoy great audible feedback, and the virtual, kinetic feedback associated with fantastic audio design.
•You enjoy science fiction.

Zombardment
To summarize, I really like this game and its style. It does have a few bugs and could use some cosmetic adjustments.
I’ll list the things I liked first.
The game play is simple and intuitive, and the game itself is a style that’s common and easy so anyone can play this game. It hit a certain nostalgia for me for 2 games I haven’t played in a long time that I immensely enjoyed when I was a kid, so that was a nice experience.
I like the more minimal designs of the character and monsters, there’s already a lot going on with you shooting and dodging and explosions and fire so not having a busy or complicated design is really nice, and it really leaves room for my imagination to take over and render the monsters in my own way.

snake game go brrr, this is the first game in a while that i played for 7 hours straight. i would say this game is insanely under priced but i’m not complaining, each time you beat the game you unlock new difficulties and can make your snake a unit longer. i love the many different classes and units you can pick, things such as aoe or projectile attacks, or other things like the merchant which gives you interest on money and other stat booster and abilities you can get from beating elite enemies. buy this game. now.
