Burst Reviews

6/10

Boring af

An interesting idea, I'll give it that. A combat-centric game that works to your own music. The bundled metalstep really works well, and I've found electro does the same. The game overall is a bundle of nice ideas, but the game lacks polish. I understand the minimalist style it aims for, but...graphical details? Backgrounds? In-game sound effects? Particles? Hello? Again, the gameplay is unique. Each method of fighting back serves a purpose, but most enemies either shoot projectiles at you or run straight at you. Things only stop being a cakewalk around 70, at 100 I'm either dying in 2 hits or running into a pitfall. The fact that you can even accidentally veer off into a pitfall and have to end the stage is irritating, and the comments putting your low score to shame don't help either. Earning points don't feel like they have any meaning; you're always more concerned about making it through a song entirely. If there was more to unlock with points other than actually interesting gameplay past the first 30 minutes, then I'd be pleased to use what downtime I have for colouring the board for extra points. This would've been a great place to include cosmetics or weapon upgrades, but it just lacks content. Most devs have the process backwards where they have a terrible idea ripped from a successful game and then expand on it too much, but Burst has the opposite problem. One last thing is the requirement for .ogg files. I don't mind using them if it didn't mean having to pre-determine what songs you want to play before playing the game. This is definetly what sets Burst back over other games where you can blow through your music library in one sitting if you like.

doesnt even work, just crashes my steam, dont know if they are going to fix but really it was a waste of money. - 1/10

Meh. Awesome idea but... It just feels really... Lacking I guess. The controls are pretty bad too. There needs to be more enemy types. I feel like this game has a lot of potential, it just needs more.

4/10! Pretty enjoyable little game. If you are looking to pick this up, buy it now because on sale and it's going to be removed off of Steam on 1st October 2019! It's a shame it does't have any achievements though.

This is a good game concept that is fun for a short while, the gameplay is fine with no problems. The game is very cheap but there isn't too much replayability. Someone who likes arcade type games might enjoy this but this is just not my cup of tea.

This game.... I dont even know what to say. Its fun and somewhat difficult (if you suck like me) anyways, if you have trouble, download an .mp3 file, open audacity and change the file type to ogg vorbis, then save to your desktop, choose it and have fun! Great game but I dont see much replayability unless you have a library of songs you want to play with
