Why did you guys add Denuvo?

Performance on steam deck was ok, but now it's abysmal. Really shouldn't have the "verified" tag anymore, frame rate is all over the place in areas where it was steady before.

Well, now I'm just upset.

"Checkpoint" feature is highly restrictive, you basically shouldn't bother. Game requires an online connection despite having 0 network features. No rewind or museum with boss info like first collection. Very strange, because I KNOW it CAN have save states and rewind.

Just play the original releases instead.

E-YA-A-AH-A-AH-A-AH-OWW!

There's a part in this game that is a CHORE to progress through, but like 80% of people who buy this game will never even see it. This game almost encourages the player to use alternative methods of progression (i.e. just cheating) to get to the point where you can have fun again. In my opinion, it was a very bold move to make the crazy difficult and perfect-RNG based section a mandatory "level" and not some form secret challenge side content.

My duplicants have had food poisoning for 40 cycles and the thermal coil I put in the water supply drains all my batteries in 5 seconds.

11/10 Highly Recommended

So this game is nuts.

Crazy, even. The good kind, where you can actually tell whats happening 90% of the time. At first, this game seemed incredibly daunting and annoying. Now after plugging in a gamepad, the difficulty remains but the frustration I originally had is entirely gone.

This is a VERY competent 2D twin-stick shooter bullet hell. All the little upgrades mesh together very nicely as any roguelit/ke should.

Gameplay takes a front seat with very little room for unnecessary dialogue (although the low budget tutorial robot REALLY needs a "press space/A/X to skip" option similar to pokemon). Everything is explained as it's introduced (again, robot) and it's been very easy to pick up the game.

The map design reminds me of Rogue Legacy- areas are organized on a grid based on their themes and enemy variety. This game uses a more Metroidvania style of map, where it's structurally the same every time with shortcuts and dungeons. The layout inside each tile - or "patch" - is procedurally generated to keep each run feeling fresh.

The game's claim to fame is the lassoing and taming mechanic, where you can (attempt to) tame any creature you're fighting at any time. This is the best part about the game in my opinion; each monster comes with its own unique set of four abilities, and there's a LOT of monsters.

TL;DR, Very fun and incredibly solid.

It was a bold move to add Goku from Goku and Solider from Team Fortress 2 but it paid out in the long run.
