Gamedev Beatdown Reviews

Its a fun game for a few hours until you realize there's 0 replay value.

I have been working in the games industry for about 10 years. And as a developer can relate to all that happens at work. Overall a very funny game with a great art style and fun game-play.

Love the idea! Unique and educational. I could relate being in the game industry. Art is 10/10 and storyline even better.

Fun little game with lots of humor, interesting choices/paths and some "battle" (arguments). Game of the month. Well worth $5 on sale. :)

I am surprised that this game doesn't have more love. Roguelike, turn based fights, and an good art style. It hits a lot of perfect things for me. If you want an idea, think if Slay The Spire progression, classic turn based combat... arguments.... turn based arguments, and humor from something like Monster Prom (or maybe its Citizens of Earth? Something is giving me Citizens of Earth Vibes) had a baby and that baby decided that they wanted to make games and pop culture references their personality, then boom here you have it. After going through Act 2 once, I have to say that if they added in Act 3 or 4 that this game would be one that I played religiously. Heck, if they took the Acts and turned you into the bad guy in the end it would be a great "story" and could ease you into harder and harder over a couple more Acts. Right now it just ends with an indie developer, but if it went to a mid size and then a AAA over the course of a couple acts I would be happy. I would really enjoy just making more games before having to restart honest. The difficulty curve is kind of strange in that the first hour was exceedingly easy and the next hour it jumped up and became more of what I was looking for. Pros: -Super fun -You can tell love went into the game -Interesting concept Cons: -Short -Animations could use a little polish (But by no means look bad) Easily a 7.75/10 with some more polish, advertising, and acts. I think this game could be real gem.

Game just doesn't seem finished. I got an error message at the end of the 3rd run that just said they didn't have any more unique events. I couldn't do anything, I couldn't move past that event (second to last) and just finished the game (of the run), it just hard blocked me.

Not very optimized for controllers, the whole game dev part is very much a theme with lack of actual business elements. Not what i was expecting.

Short, sweet, and incredibly funny!. The story was simple but tight, the mechanics were fun and everything worked smoothly, and the graphics were fun (they reminded me a little of the Newgrounds era for some reason. The whole game has a Newgrounds vibe actually). I wish it were a little longer because I was engaged the whole time! Looking forward to what the developers make next :)

Good idea, addictive game, but a lot of bugs, UI elements hang over the screen and it is not possible to progress without relaunching the game., this issue happened several times. Bad controller support, I would say it is partial, not full as it is shown in game details. A lot of elements not working from controller. And I still cannot understand is there an act 3 at all? I see in the review the answer that there is no. And by achievement progress I also can see 0% for this achievement. But this game is not in early access any more, why does act 3 missing?
