I saw this out of the corner of my eye while I was buying a different game and decided to buy it for a friend who is obsessed with rats. I watched him play it for a few minutes and decided to buy it for myself and 2 other friends.
This game is extremely cute and charming, and a whole lot of fun. It's deceptively simple, but trying out different character builds and seeing just how far you can make it past Wave 30 is a lot of fun. Despite looking superficially similar to something like Vampire Survivors, it feels very different. I highly recommend it, especially while it's on sale.

Dull. The arena is so small to make movement pretty much pointless. As such the gameplay loop is pretty much to pick an upgrade, then have your character 'stand and deliver' and just watch until the wave is cleared.
And while this doesn't really come into effect until you 'beat' the game at wave 30, in the post-30 waves, enemy health scaling reaches such a high point that you need to rely on knockback and slows to keep them at bay as you slooooooooowly chip away at their ludicrous health bars, not helped as you cease to get upgrades at this point.
I literally have the game going on beside me without my input, and my character is keeping them at bay without me doing anything.

It's a remarkable game.
Very simple, but with so much care put into it. The game revolves around a moon like looking planet and you play as a space rat (you unlock more as you go along) the game works similarly to Vampire Survivors where you just have to wait for enemies and move around the map as you attack, buuuuuut...
The game does some interesting innovations and changes, like making you upgrade by killing specific amount of increasing enemies, instead of relying in an XP system. The game also has a ton of significant upgrades for each rat and one that seems universal -so they apply to each of them equally-.
It's extremely addicting and well worth what I paid for it, I'm actually surprised by how good it is considering what it costs. The game also has all the technical features and options you expect, stuff like rebindable keys, video options, etc.
It's incredible, made with a lot of heart, one of those titles that makes you want to keep coming back over and over again and you're left wondering how come you didn't heard of this one before.

okay, this is actually a really good and fun game, you can feel the love from the developers from how much care they put into the art style, making everything look good, even the animations are really satisfying to look at, its an awesome game
but there is a huge problem, at least for me, because its sucha good and fun game, its really sad to see not much in it, there are only 3 enemy types, a few characters, only 30 rounds which you can breeze easily
and there is barely that many upgrades and content in the game which is kinda heart breaking for how good this game is
so please update the game, add more stuff, more stages, more enemies, more upgrades, and please let me choose all of the upgrades together, i kinda feel really limited and held back by the fact i can only go one route of upgrade, i want to have most of them active
also please add mod support, i want to be able to play custom content and upgrades and characters cause this game is absolutely fire and fun!

Got this for $2.39, normal price $5.99. I'm giving it a tentative thumbs-down, and I wish that Steam allowed you to rate a game based on 1-5 instead of the polarity of Yes/No... This game is very cheap, so maybe it's worth it for some folks as a chill afternoon time-waster. But understand that it's not a game with great replay value, innovation, or engagement, so for my taste, I could only recommend it when its on sale.
It's very simplistic, and requires very little thought from you. You roll and draw for upgrades each Wave until Wave 30. I only have two characters left to unlock, and I can get to Wave 30 on all of them standing still. (Movement Speed and Dodge is an upgrade, but it is NULL since you DON'T HAVE TO MOVE AT ALL.) The gameplay is very shallow compared to the original AND less costly inspiration of Vampire Survivors -- It doesn't have meaningful build/weapon variety, only three types of enemies that all have the same melee attack pattern, and only one map. (Which is a circular moon with NOT much running room at all maybe around a 16x16 running space if your mouse is 1 tile. Again I didn't have to spend any time walking.)
It's a cute game. Best part of it are the adorable mice. (I REALLY want to like this game for the mice alone!) But it doesn't encourage me to come back. It doesn't seem worth it to unlock all the mice, since each specializes in a damage/skill, and some damage types are inherently just worst than the others. Curse, Poison, and Star are slow compared to good ole high firing rate + crit damage + arrows/lightning for support, and when your gameplay is based on enemies encroaching on you in a tiny area, you want things done as fast as possible.
I think the devs should make the classes more distinct... encourage the player to do different playstyles. Right now, most of the classes work under the same strategy, which makes it really boring.

I bought Rocket Rats on a whim expecting to play a round while waiting for some of my updates to install, but that round quickly became multiple. This is an absolutely adorable survivors-like where you get to play as one of the objectively best animals, so naturally it is an immediate hit!
In my experience so far, it seems there is a decent amount of build variety, with potential different paths for the same character to go down. If you're lucky, it is also relatively easy to get an absolutely busted OP build (my second run got me to round 49)! However, that does also bring up probably the biggest issue right now; the game is a bit too easy. Based on the content currently in the game and my average score that I am getting per run, I can probably 100% the game in less than a week by playing 2-3 runs a day. Whether or not the scaling gets much harder later remains to be seen, but I do see other reviews saying approximately the same thing.
Overall, I highly recommend this if you're into the genre! Its cute, fun, and an enjoyable waste of time. Just don't go in expecting the most hardcore experience, because right now, it doesn't seem to be here.

Definitely a solid game for the genre. Satisfying enough to want to keep playing, but after your first victory (which will come quick), every run becomes incredibly easy and you're basically just dumping all your points into a new rat each time to try something new. With a few updates centered around game difficulty or length, this could be a solid choice. Nonetheless, it's certainly worth the current price point.

Very fun and unique roguelike. The achievements are not hard to obtain and it was actually a pleasure going for 100%. I got the game because, I liked the graphics, but man... the gameplay is crisp, the music and sound is good and the combos you can make are extremely satisfying to build. Get this game!
