What players say
7 hours played in a row after purchase. That is rare for me unless Kenshi or an Xcom game. I REALLY like this game. Too tired for a detailed review. I Should have went to bed hours ago....
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Really good, tons of crazy mods for your run and some nice meta progression and build altering items. Just wish they went from garilc-ish enemy swarms that generally die offscreen to smaller groups of stronger enemies worth using manual aim on. Regardless, one of the best bullet heaven games out there!
After playing this game non stop for about 5 hours straight, I gotta say its not worth playing. While I do really like the game, and I enjoy the commentary/story and the game design. It just has so many unbalanced aspects to the game that ruin the experience. Some of the bosses for example, are completely broken. They have attacks that are impossible to dodge, unless you have leveled up you movement speed to about...
