Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach3.5M+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
For context
Refunds10 of 799 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

It is very fun to fire guns at bullets, bullets at bombs, and shoot a bullet shaped gun that fires gun shaped bullets that fire bullets shaped bullets.

It's basically all you could ever ask from a roguelike. Tons of content and variety, lots of replayability, fun characters, great bosses, challenges, secrets, and the best part by far, synergies. It's a 10 year old game at this point, but it holds up very, very well. I don't often grind through achievements, but this one just hit all the right spots for me, and is thus one of my only perfected games.

I killed the past for all four main characters - plus the secret one - and I'm still not good enough to beat some of the secret bosses. There's still stuff to find and defeat; the amount of unlockables and the like in this game is crazy.
