Disclaimer - I gather this is something of a clone of a popular title, but I haven't played the original yet and this is my first jumping in point. Bear that in mind as I have nothing to compare it to.
That out of the way, its a really fun game. There's a lot of different ways you can build, and while I certainly have some favourite weapons I try to get nearly all the time, that isn't to say thats the only build you have to make. Sometimes chance won't allow you what you want to do, or you'll finally luck out on your final Reroll. Its also a lot of fun to make purpose-built alt strategies, for example I wasn't initially a fan of the ninja character but a dedicated build is indeed strong enough to hang at the hardest difficulty... when you get built. The good news is provided you can max out whatever weapons you are running, you should have a great time. Or, crash and burn hard before you get there but thats part of the fun too.
Cons, could use more monster variety. The visual designs are great, but a little different behaviors would be great besides just swarming and occasional slow bullets. The crewman rescues are by far the most tense and most enjoyable moments in a typical run as they have extra stuff going on and you have a couple objectives when you get fenced in. That said I do have one fairly major gripe- the timer you have to complete the level is just too long. What I mean is, once you get the hang of learning what weapons you like best and avoiding those you think are mid (I think I've tried all weapons to omega level now, and all of them are fully serviceable at worst. Guess this is technically a pro lol), chances are you build will start to hit its stride and essentially close to practical full power and you will have a long time left to go on the clock before the boss shows up. It varies of course, but I mean I can often get a one or even a pair of key omega level weapons going and start clearing the map with little trouble, and then notice I still have 8 or 9 minutes to kill. There is a fun, Diablo-like zen to crushing masses of mobs don't get me wrong, but if we could shave off a good 4-6 minutes would personally be my ideal.
Anyway, that's it. Good title, good fun, no bugs I've encountered, well balanced but some tweaks would help out in the future. For the price, I don't think you can go wrong and I'd absolutely recommend you give it a spin.

Doesn't bring a great deal new to the table, but it's a competent arena survivor game.
The variety of weapons makes trying different loadouts interesting, if only to discover each weapon's ultimate form. And the ability to rescue up to four other characters during a round, which add their weapon and perks to your arsenal, can bring more synergies (or in some cases anti-synergies).
As others have mentioned, it rather lacks sound effects for the weapons, but given the amount of weaponry blasting away at any one time, it may be for the best that we're not subjected to such cacophony? I very often play these games without sound while listening to podcasts (or meetings), so the lack of weapon audio didn't bother me so much.

One of the most boring games of this genre I've played, in this price range at the very least.
One may argue that it gets better as you progress, but expect some boring gameplay for a good while at first. I personally can't bother.

Another game in the Survivors-like genre for me to play, great! Well, let's get this out of the way: if you're looking for something fresh in the genre, this isn't the game for you. It does basically nothing new, BUT, it does what the genre does well and I've been having fun with it regardless because I'm a huge fan of the genre. So that being said, I recommend buying on sale if you're a big fan of the arena shooter/Survivors-likes; you know what you're getting yourself into... and if you're looking for a Brotato-like break in convention then you'll be disappointed.

Great Artstyle, great gameplay. I especially liked the ability to rescue your other characters to help you on your journey on this alien planet. The endless mode is also quite a challenge, but its fun trying to get on the leaderboards.
Overall pretty neat game :)

A great game to try out if you're into similar ones, such as Vampire Survivors, Soulstone Survivors, etc. It's not as crazy but a great time to be had if you need to kill some. Give it a chance and you won't be disappointed.

One of the poorer bullet heavens I've tried. Probably what hurts this game the most is the lack of sound effects on all weapons. It really makes it feel like everything you do has no impact.
Some other negatives are shallow/repetitive gameplay loop, plain map design, lack of special events, and no unique mechanics
Given the absurd amount of other better bullet heavens/survivor games out, there is no real reason to play this one

Awesome VamSurv like game - Nice artstyle and for the duos first game; is great fun. I played on my PC and Deck - both run well. Currently no official controller support on the deck as it used WASD config so hopefully see that in the future, but looking forward to seeing this game progress. lirikH
Update 13/02/23 - Handles much better on the steam deck with the official template making it overall easier to control and aim.

[b]edit:[/b] just a quick edit and reminder, that it's already fixed now, you gotta respect how fast the DEV(s) replied and also found and fixed the issue!
pretty and very fun vampire survivors alternative BUT the game seems to have some serious optimization problems, i went from 144FPS to 2FPS :(
obviously there were A TON of effects and projectiles but that should not be an excuse?
here's a clip, see for yourself: [url=https://www.tiktok.com/@laikbl/video/7194991739717831942?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7080894713129731590] 2FPS are the true BOSS i guess[/url]
hopefully they fix that, might only be this specific weapon combination tho.
