Against Great Darkness Prologue

So, I am posting this review, as a game beta tester, who has been supplied a copy of the game for testing and bug fixing. I want to start off, by saying that the prologue is just a taster of what's to come. Please don't be put off by there only being one circle to complete. The game will come with 3 differing difficulty levels, with a selection of different enemies, and attacks, items, etc for you to progress through. The base game will be released (on the 10th April at $6.99). In my opinion, this is a decent market value for the content that you can get, and the replayability of the game, with the meta progression that's available, as well as the unlockable content. My only drawback, which the dev has yet to fix, is the descriptions on the items and characters on how to unlock them. They will currently unlock after you have done "something". Even as a beta tester, I'm not aware of what that "something" is. The difficulty spike of the game is where the challenge lies. Even on ascension level 0, the difficulty spike between the circles, then facing the final bosses can be a little too challenging. I understand that Dirly has been working behind the scenes to adjust the difficulty levels of each circle to fall in line with expectations. In the full game, you have the following: • 9 pagans with 3 Circles of Hell to explore. • Over 100 items to unlock • 6 bosses currently available • 21 steam achievements to obtain There is more than that, however, this is a good overview of the content that will come with the base game. For $6.99, I don't think that's all that bad. I've seen games priced at a higher price-point, with significantly less development and content. Other than that, being a part of this game whilst it has grown and developed has been fun. Being a part of changes that have come to the game, as a result of my testing, bug finding, and overall stress testing of the game, makes me feel proud to say that whereas this game may not be for everyone, for those who like roguelites, brickbreakers, and bullet hell games, you will for sure enjoy the full release of this.

Fun game! Definitely going to check out the full release!

Cehennemin ağzından kaçmaya çalışan bir pagan olarak oynadığınız, tuğlaları kıran, roguelite bir oyundur. Disklerinizi zıplatarak kalıntıları tetikleyin, inanılmaz ganimet elde edebileceğiniz benzersiz etkinlikleri deneyimleyin ve gözünüzü daima disklerinizden ayırmadan cehennem gibi bosslarla savaşın.

That was a lot of fun a bullet hell breakout roguelite game never would have thought of that combination, but seeing it in action it really works definitely worth checking out the prologue and wishlisting the full release. The First Map was a Blast.

[h1]ブロック崩し系STG。プレイ感が考えられている[/h1] digipen学生作品。 プロック崩しみたいな感じの縦STG。球は落としてもミスにならず、敵や敵弾に被弾した時にダメージが入る。みんな大好きローグライク要素、永久アップグレード、waveクリアごとの報酬もあって分かりやすく楽しめる。 ブロック崩しは狙い通りに反射ができず、いつまでたっても的に当たらずイライラすることがある。が、このゲームでは落とて少ししたら残弾が補給されてまっすぐ発射できるので狙える。ついでに敵を1体倒すみたいなアイテムが定期的にやってきたりするので、ブロック崩しにつきまとうイライラが解消されていた。あくまでSTGとして遊べる印象。 気になったのはキー操作ぐらい。マウスを使うべきかどうかみたいなその程度。 英語ばっかりなので日本語圏の人間としてはアップグレードやストーリー、説明がよくわからんと思うものの、こういうのが好きな人は難なく遊べると思う。混ぜたら悪くなりそうな場所がきちんとゲーム性として考えられていておすすめ。

Okay so I think a few basic improvements could really help this game. Firstly the enemies that dive-bomb you are incredibly easy to blend into the background. This could be easily solved by making them have the same particle effects as the bullets- the bullets stand out really well against the purple backdrop, and it makes the game much easier to parse on a glance- which is what's needed when you're trying to juggle both your balls and dodging. Secondly, I think there should be some feedback as to when the balls are being released, because your bullets and the balls blend in and when you're focused on juggling/dodging it's easy to forget there's another ball on the way and you should pay attention to that. Thirdly, there were multiple times when I thought I had just saved my ball from oblivion but was a little bit too late and had just quickened it's fall. I would like to see how you solve this issue, instead of just giving you one myself

This game is beautiful and definitely worth a try. The combat is unique, the idea is that you deflect a ball (disk) and stop it from falling off the screen, however, whilst you are doing that, there are a variety of demons trying to kill you. You can purchase different abilities every time you level up and each non passive ability requires you to hit a disk once or multiple times to activate it. It's sort of like a combination of an old retro style alien shooter and a block breaker game with the same concept of hitting a ball and not letting it fall. And on top of that it's free. This is meant to be the prologue to a full game and after seeing this, I'm probably gonna give the full game a try on release.
