Hadley's Run: A Starship Saga

Music, backgrounds, character art: great. Enemy sprites: not so great to drab and repetitive. Gameplay: repetitive and slow. Upgrades: 10% increases on things too often. Don't always feel like a great reward. Breaking established conventions of these games: When bosses die, moving on to their exploding corpse kills you.

What a gem! Solid roguelite twin stick shooter. Nothing groundbreaking but the gameplay is fun, the art and music are good, and characters are relatable.

A challenging yet fun little shoot em up/roguelite with a great soundtrack and a distinctly South African flavour to its dialogue and aesthetic. Gets a little repetitive since you have to repeat sections if you die but at least there's some fresh dialogue in between. Overall I recommend giving this a go if you have any love for shootemups, roguelites or lekker music!

Great artwork and sound design. Really enjoyed the SAisms.

Really fun little rouge like shooter. Great to kill 10min. Music is fantastic!

I totally loved the demo, so when I saw there was a significant discount, I snatched it right up! It’s a bit on the difficult side , but thats ok, because you don’t want these games to be over too soon. I think the only thing I would complain about, and I hate to even mention it, is that there is entirely too much dialogue going on. This isn’t so much a fault of the game, as it is a fault within myself… I’m lazy, and sometimes don’t want to get wrapped up in a story (I usually don’t like the storytelling within most games though, so don’t let that sway your decision). Besides, the story here is actually quite good, and hilarious to boot! But sometimes I just wanna get in there and start the battle. It’d be nice if there were an option to have only the important text pop up, or a “skip all except mission specific text”, but that’s just me nitpicking. This game is brilliant, and the future will look back at it as a hidden gem unless more of you pick it up! I mean, at least give the demo a shot, you have nothing to lose!
