VolticPistol Reviews

Fun side scroll shooter. Definitely recommend.

This is a genuinely fun indie title. The art styling is unique as is the concept of the game - totally random specs for each new life used. You can increase your health and your "rage" (which is essentially your special power meter) by finding powerups throughout hidden levels (keys are placed in the normal maps you play through). Overall this is a fun and challenging game. The soundtrack is fantastic - if you buy the game I also recommend you pick up a copy of the OST as well. This is a fun game, and one that I don't regret spending my money or time on. I had a good time playing through the levels and look forward to seeing other titles from this indie dev.

Indie platformer that takes inspiration from Rogue Legacy. After each death the player character respawns as a clone with differing stats: durability, weapon, melee, speed and rage. Plays best with a controller. Medieval-cyberpunk setting with an excellent original soundtrack.

Pretty neat game with a lot of unique characters and guns. lot of pixel-flying action. Especially impressive as the studio's first game -- really neat!

Challenging and innovative platformer that keeps the play dynamic by giving you a hero with different strengths and weaknesses after every re-spawn. With different abilities and special power-ups, each new run will force the player to alter strategies accordingly. Gun and sword attack options and an aiming feature that improves shot accuracy give the player lots of options when battling enemies, though some enemies require specific attacks to defeat. Controls are precise and easy to learn. To top it off, the game has a wonderfully high-energy soundtrack.

Shoot things, slash baddies, jump up on things (whilst shooting things and slashing baddies). This game gives the feeling of total empowerment of your world and that you can...damn I just died... Oooh I have recloned to the same level with different characteristics giving me the ability to shoot and slash and jump to total dominance...damn I just died... Oooh, after respawning I now have the characteristics to notice the cute but simplistic graphics and the way the enemy bullets just fly towards...

I've spent some time playing this game and all I can say is this: Rewarding. I am very pleased with my purchase. Voltic pistol is the perfect blend of Metroid and Mega-Man. This game is a challenge. Everytime you die, your stats change and it changes the way you play each level. You cannot just bum rush every enemy and expect to beat the game. Each enemy has a pattern that you'll need to learn to get through the level unscathed. This is a genuinely fun game. If you choose to purchase it, good luck soldier.

A fun platform shooter that is both challenging and rewarding. Having a roguelike character traits allow for a good deal of replayability. You shouldn't pass on trying this game out.

This game is a blast, large range of weapons and hidden gem and items, powerups, etc. Even on the easy level its still very challenging and provides hours of entertainment. Definitely a must have game! Everything about the game is great from the art, sound track and all the levels. Tons of challenges with this indie game! would recommend a controller for optimum performance.

I've only played this game on hardcore mode so far. Many sections can get really intense when you are being targeted from many different enemies, some of which you need to shoot and others that have to be hit with melee. You have to be careful when dodging, as these enemies have different attack speeds and patterns. I noticed as I replayed levels that the enemies that are spawned aren't always the same, so I had to get used to several different patterns as I progressed through the game. This game has bullet ricochet, which is really cool when you reflect the shots of a turret back at itself while being out of reach. This is one of my favorite parts of the game, as I feel like it lets me deal with large groups of enemies better if I go out of my way to intercept their shots as they target me. It's really fun to switch between characters on each level and see who is best to complete each section of the game. The game also rewards you for exploring each area, and will give you stat increases for finding out of the way parts of a level. There are different weapons you can unlock as you progress through the game, which can be super useful when dealing with certain types of enemies. The default weapon is still extremely useful, as it has infinite ammo and can also fire faster when you hit the button to fire quicker. This is a great game, and I'm looking forward to going through these levels as I unlock new characters and weapons.
