Pathogenic

밸런스와 가성비가 좋은 탄막 슈팅 로그라이크 게임. 조금 징그럽고 눈이 쉽게 피로해지는 그래픽이지만 게임성면에선 깔끔한 육각형 게임이다. 로그라이크 필수 요소인 죽어도 강해지는 테크트리 시스템과 부위를 어떻게 배치하냐에 따라 플레이 스타일이 달라지는 빌드 다양성 덕분에 다회차로 즐겨도 오래 즐길 수 있도록 설계되어 있다. 그래픽 외 단점은 부위를 얻을 수 있는 기회가 많은 편이 아니라서 운빨에 크게 의존한다는 점 하나 정도. 탄막 슈팅을 좋아한다면 강력하게 추천한다. TIP : 대부분의 근접 소기관은 탄막을 지워버린다. 반대로 레이저와 근접에 취약해지니, 탄막 피하기 어렵다면 근접 빌드를 타보자.

So while the theme is cool, the game itself has a severe lack of build variety and in general way too few weapons/ passive items. It gets boring very fast and also it ramps the difficulty like crazy only towards the end of the run making you waste a lot of time being bored getting back there just to get a weak build that makes fighting enemies later a slog. Every run felt roughly the same and the only variety comes with different classes but the limited build choices per run + way too small item pool kills it quick. (We are roughly missing 3x the items to make it moderately non repetitive and most of the items are already a + x% dmg etc. increase instead of gameplay changing things)

Fun gameplay loop and a great love-letter to microbiology. Good art and music too. Can't wait to get good at it.

roguelike spore sprinkled with immunology

Great game at first, and then you realize there's 0 balance : i manage to have 3 times +40 damages, +40 attack speed with less than two green hearts, i have +300% damage on my 4 weapons that dont use sugar : mobs are still tanks with a litteral gattling that does 200+ damage per hit. Scalling mob hp feels like a lie, i guess it's what it is. And the lung area : total ♥♥♥♥, you get sucked into bomb in very small rooms, you pop into a room with a mob on you in less than half a second later. The game feels great and should be. But balance feels like sh*t...

No

Very fun game with a lot of re-playability. It is basically a race to see how fast you can make your most broken build to give the game a bullet rinse! There are many different ways to power up and depending on the weapon and item synergies you can become instantly OP or you may have created your own kryptonite. The difficulty levels using "antibiotics" can be increased once you defeat the basic first run through of the game. The different bio / non-bio characters become the way to eventually infect the host with a fatal pathogen. I love it!!!

This is a cool game, the environmental effects and enemy attack effects are freaking disgusting.、 Imagine fighting five ROCKs at the same time inside a tiny and dirty bathroom, while the shower, floor drain, and toilet are all spraying water directly into your face. And while you're trying to dodge enemy attacks, you also have to avoid environmental effects that can suck you into a toilet and then blast sh$t all over your face. I've played for 26 hours. Even though I've figured out builds that can give me basically infinite EXP and money, I still haven't managed to beat the game even once. Every single boss can take more than half your HP within seconds. and the extra-life system, like the one in The Binding of Isaac, feels completely pointless. And then there's the Heart boss. If you don't get specific items and build around them in a very specific way, you literally can't even reach the boss. And the melee weapons? They're just ridiculously high-risk and garbage design. From start to finish, all you really need to do is find a few specific combinations, stack your damage as high as possible, so you can kill every enemy within a few seconds which means avoiding all disgusting environmental and attack effects. But if you can't find those specific combinations—or if you can't even find a decent, usable ranged weapon—you might not even be able to beat the bosses in the first few stages. It doesn't matter how much EXP or money you have. Anyone who has played this game for more than 10 hours must have some kind of masochistic tendency. I've played this long because I respect the money I spent on the game, and I wanted to experience the full game. By the way,more than 20 hours of meta-progression bonuses and they barely do anything. It's basically the same as most of the useless choices you get when leveling up in game. Oh,and every time you fail,the UI tell you to beat the Heart boss so you can gain bonuses to help you beat the game. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys being tortured and hates positive feedback.
