I think this is possibly the most underrated game in my Steam library. The gimmick of fusing turn-based and real time play is an excellent one, and I think they did a really good job of exploring ways to mix the two. Often it can be played akin to a turn based dungeon crawler, but the enemies, bullets and environmental hazards that move in real time add a bit of pressure and force you to move quickly. It's not dissimilar to Crypt of the NecroDancer in that sense; enemies have attack patterns that aren't too hard to learn, but the gimmick means you can't always take your time and can be forced into mistakes. The time pressure is lower here though and combat is quite tactical as you use the environment or other enemies' attacks against your foes. Individual enemies are easy to handle once you know how, but in varied combinations they're more interesting to fight. There are also plenty of puzzles to solve, which aren't too challenging but still pleasant and imaginative. If you want a little more challenge, there are secret collectables hidden throughout. I also enjoyed trying to beat the levels in as few moves as possible, and there are leaderboards for that. The game is at its weakest in the later levels. Where a game more confident in itself and the player would have continued to explore its established mechanics in harder configurations, Nova-111 seems to want to keep introducing new mechanics. The third and final world throws in a new twist[spoiler] where regions of the grid are frozen in time[/spoiler]. It's an interesting idea, but I didn't feel it was utilised as well as earlier mechanics. It doesn't stop being enjoyable here, it's just that the level design isn't as strong as it was earlier in the game. Even the art style is worse. There's also the fact that levels are broken into blocks of three that you're forced to play together, an odd decision that becomes quite annoying when you're replaying to find collectables. Those two issues aside, this is a great game that I'd heartily recommend.

A puzzle game for all ages, with a small amount of timed events. Although I'm not working off of a score system for this quick review, all elements make this a very enjoyable game. Gameplay: great Music: catchy (could use longer loops, but the short-style matches the game well) Easy to play and new concepts are introduced as needed, in comical fashion. Good humor throughout. Suitable for Big Picture mode. Get it, play it, enjoy it and then go back and challenge yourself to a better time or even a perfect run.
Juegazo inesperado. Tras unas mecánicas sencillas y un argumento simplón, se esconde un juego hecho con mucho cariño. El diseño de niveles es estupendo, y va incluyendo constantemente nuevas interacciones y mecánicas. Se hace tremendamente entretenido, y la dificultad no es elevada. Los niveles tienen zonas por descubrir, y aunque las debes ir tanteando para conseguir rescatar a los 111 científicos que componían la Nova, el juego es muy lineal. No te obliga a pararte para conseguir algo que te permita avanzar, es agradecido, cuando he repetido un nivel es porque he sentido la necesidad de hacerlo mejor, no porque fuera necesario. El reto para el que lo busque reside en superar los niveles en el mínimo número de movimientos. Al margen de eso, es un juego perfecto para relajarte y disfrutar si te gustan los juegos de puzzles y que no vayan buscando la dificultad. El juego me ha durado unas 9 horas, yendo despacio, repitiendo niveles, sin buscar la mejor puntuación, sin conseguir todo y con el juego completo. Sin duda un juego recomendable
Fun puzzle game, not too hard but that's not that big an issue
好玩
Solid game.
没什么人买的游戏，整这么硬的活？还可以，2内推荐入库。 202211下，t a o宝，支付宝红包，杉果，本平台，本平台充值折扣掉卡，indie gala，fanatical，humble，daily indie game，loot boy，它处自定义包入的本体约3元。爱人如己，目前就这，看以后追评。有中文的游戏请耐心自研体验乐趣，攻略指南尽量不用。不建议使用外挂，插件，作弊之类的，游戏都要这样搞，那现实里那更是如此了。兄弟萌，强烈建议不要第三方平台的小店买y u额，通过饰品等挂steam市场转的，高概率red信乃至封号，且行且珍惜。
科幻版Crypt of the NecroDancer
game doesnt work, crashed after the splash screen, looking at the discussions this is a known issue, along with achievements not working, which the devs response to is "well it should work"
3/10 畫面看起來十分活潑，但步調其實非常的緩慢，慢到很懷疑該不該繼續玩下去... 整體而言遊戲雖然不難，但缺少提示，我大部分時間都在撞牆壁看是否有隱藏點，讓整個過程變得十分乏味，每次開起遊戲最多玩一關，最後硬著頭皮分了20-30次才破關，所以我並不推薦這款遊戲。
