Cast Out Colony Reviews

Bullet heaven and town-builder lovers can unite in enjoying Cast Out Colony. I had never played a bullet heaven game before, and had relatively limited town-builder experience; neither of those facts were a barrier to learning and enjoying Cast Out Colony. The characters are fun and distinct, the abilities vary dramatically, and my sandbox itch is scratched when I build out my colony. The roguelite aspect and cast of characters work together to keep the gameplay from feeling repetitive, and seeing my novice skill improve has been immensely satisfying. I would challenge you to find a developer that is more involved in their community or listens to feedback better, and the artists ensure that it's never boring to look at. If you're even just thinking about it, I promise that you won't regret giving it a chance (and gifting it to someone you think would enjoy it, too!).

Deserves far more attention than it has gotten. It is at its core a Bullet Heaven game, but has a town-builder in-between battles that serves as meta-progression. Alongside the town building aspect, creative weapons that are thematically-focused on Nature and unique Banish abilities for each character help to set it apart from others in the genre. Really great fun!
