Digital Frida Reviews

I wouldn't recommend this game on a 90% sale, let alone full price. There are games for about the same price, or some even free that are significantly better made than this, even made by solo devs. This currently feels like something you'd look through on Gamejolt or a similar website for 3 minutes before putting in the recycling bin rather than an actual product. The game tries to be an arena-based survival roguelike, but it doesn't give any incentive for the player to go on to survive for 30 minutes. You're thrown in a digital purgatory when you click play, you dash around and collect wires and occasionally batteries and power-ups that are potentially detrimental, while you wait around to encounter enemies. There's nothing else you're really proactively doing, not even much point in interacting with enemies as they just drain your health. It feels like a waiting game, because the game plays like one. For something so simply explained, the game itself is also made surprisingly poorly, having a high berserk meter (from picking up wires and pressing the buzzer in the middle) causes the game to completely freeze. Alt-Tabbing from the game has made the game crash. Pressing Escape immediately brings you back to the menu, which would probably make someone rage if they were at 29 minutes or something. There's no proper resolution control or control mapping etc. It just feels very unfinished, which is a shame, because it feels like with a bit more work, this game could be unique, especially considering the odd visual style and unorthodox attacks compared to a typical "reverse bullet hell".
