Roguelite - where too much greediness can be fatal. A colorful world with armed birds blazing their way through piles of mutants, monsters and creepy creatures. Lots of mysteries to unravel, secrets to discover and levels to explore.
The core gameplay loop revolves around collecting "cursed" artifacts dropped by enemies. These artifacts provide negative effects like reduced movement or damage - a risky proposition. However, players can trade in these cursed artifacts at shops in exchange for powerful positive upgrades. The more debilitating the artifacts, the greater the potential rewards from the shopkeeper. This constant risk-reward calculation keeps players on the edge of their seat.
Players praise the game's tight, responsive controls that facilitate engaging "twin-stick shooter" gameplay. The ability to freely aim and shoot in any direction, combined with challenging enemy patterns, requires keen spatial awareness and quick reflexes. A diverse arsenal of weapons, each with unique properties, further contributes to the depth and variety of combat.
Procedurally generated levels ensure that no two campaigns play out the same way. Players can tackle different modes, such as normal, seeded, and daily challenges, further increasing replayability. The diverse cast of 10 playable characters, each with distinct abilities and starting equipment, encourages experimentation and the discovery of new strategies.
In addition to the single-player campaign, the game offers local co-op and competitive modes. Up to two players can tackle the main story cooperatively, while the "Tournament" mode pits 2-4 players against each other in various competitive scenarios like deathmatch and "one gun" mode. Reviewers highlight these multiplayer options as a great way to share the experience with friends.
