UNYIELDER

Fast, frantic, and fun every boss fight feels thrilling, every run feels fresh. Devs are pushing out updates that are improving the experience! Do give it a try :)

the spiritual sequel to paradise killer i always wanted.

This game has some serious bones. A few things I'm baffled on is progression, mainly i have no idea what i'm trying to do other than fight the same bosses over and over then die to the megatron nuke spam megaboss when i'm feeling a bit saucy. are there other characters? I have no inclination of any way of unlocking them if so, i might have skipped over something though that would tell me that. Parry system being a 1-shot boss stun is bad- consider a sort of "stagger" meter or something. optimize the game, i can get an OKAY framerate but this isn't going to be playable on the vast majority of PCs people are gaming on. probably gonna keep playing hoping there's more to come. please focus on optimization, this game has terrible performance. gonna thumbs up this only to help the developer never personally spoke to them or anything- just really want more good games to play. if this game looks interesting to you definately wishlist- but unless what you see really hits every sweet spot for you i really wouldn't drop a whole $25 on this right now, i dont regret my purchase at all though. Good luck, dev. edit: looks like the dev added some explanation in the game for how to unlock characters

Played the demo before the released version and now comparing the two there's a lot of flaws in this. First thing I noticed was the jankyness. In the demo the gameplay was rather smooth and didn't suffer too many FPS drops but in here it feels like there's a low fps throughout the entire game. 2nd thing is the Bosses mainly the parry window. On a lot of bosses i've noticed there's a lack of parry openings as in there aren't parrys for a lot of attacks, this is a huge issue as parrying a attack is the main way to get ammo in this game and without ammo killing these bosses are a problem or straight up impossible. In the demo this wasn't such an issue it felt decently balanced even if there was a big skill requirement to hit parrying. 3rd is the weapons. 1st issue I have with weapons is that a lot of the guns have straight up awful perks attached to them, mainly a lot of them have reload perks that reload the gun when it is stowed away or reload all guns when one reloads. While this may sound great in practicle use it is weak especially comparing to the rest of perks you can get. Once again the demo did not have this same issue and you had a varity of perks on guns. My next issue with guns is the flamethrower. It's an amazing gun but for some stupid reason the developers decided to completely destroy it being able to be used at all. Once you ignite a enemy once you get in melee range you when get set on fire yourself. Simple solution is to not melee then right? well the problem here is you need to get into melee range to parry an enemy once their health bar potion goes down so you can move onto the next phase. This also brings me to another problem that was changed from the demo, the parry sound render you invincibal during that period you are activating the animation as was in the demo but of course that was changed and so you can watch yourself die and not be able to move. This is only a portion of the issues I have faced with this game I'm pretty aghast at how the devs managed to ruin what seemed like a fun game by making increadibly stupid changes to the game.

As a big ultrakill fan this game scratches a similar itch, bit less stylish but just as fast and just as fun.

[b] ※難易度高すぎだろと思った人は本レビューの■マークがついた所を参考にしてください[/b] [b] 面白い！でもいろいろと分かりづらいぜ！！[/b] バランス調整が頭おかしい系のローグライトFPS。 初見～数時間の初期は「何このクソ難易度高いアクションゲーは！？」とマゾゲーにしか思えない。 [b] しかしある程度ステータスを強化できて壁を超えると一気に超インフレゲーになる。 このインフレになってからがようやく本作を100％楽しめるようになる…つまりそこまではチュートリアルだと思っていい。[/b] その要因がこのゲームの強化システムにある。 本作では他のローグライトアクションと同じく1プレイ中のみで有効なスキルのほかに、経験値をためて強化できる永続スキルツリーの2種類が存在する。 問題は後者の永続ツリーの方で、この永続ツリーで得られる一部のスキルがアホみたいに強力なのだが、これを得るまでが非常につらい。 なんせそれまでは弱い状態のキャラで戦わなくてはいけないので当然全然敵を倒せない。 敵を倒せないとスキルポイントも得られない。 そのせいで永続スキルツリーも全然進められない。 [b] ここに気付けるかどうか、耐えられるかどうかでプレイ体験が全く変わる。[/b] 気付けるまではレベル1のキャラ縛りでRPGをやっていたのに、そこに気づいてからは一気に初期レベル50のキャラで無双するぜモードになるぐらいに違ってくる。 他レビュワーが「カウンターを頑張らないといけないゲームシステムだ」と言っているのはこの部分が強く影響している。 [b] 本作はカウンターをしないといけないのではない。 確かにカウンターは非常に強力なシステムではあるが、順序が逆なのだ。 「強化していないキャラクターでは弱すぎてカウンターしないと火力が足りていない」ということなのだ。 ローグライトゲー経験者の方ならもう予想がつくだろう。 強化できたキャラならカウンターなんか気にせず火力ぶっぱでクリアできるぞ。[/b] ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ここからは攻略用の情報なので初見にこだわりたい方は見ないようにしてください [spoiler] 永続強化スキルツリーは最優先で「ユニバーサルマスタリーのパークマスタリー」のティア○強化を取得してください。 これを取得しないとせっかく敵を倒してもゴミみたいなパークしか貰えないのでほぼ縛りプレイになります。 内容は割愛しますがそれぐらいティアによってパークの強さが変わるので絶対最優先でいいです。 これは好みですが、ある程度スキルポイントが溜まれば初期キャラの場合はキャラクターマスタリー下部にある「ガトリング-アリヴェデルチ」も強力です。 グラップリングを敵に当てるだけで近接カウンター扱いになるので、まだパークを取得しきれない序盤の安定性が格段に増します。 でもとにもかくにもパークマスタリーを伸ばしてください。 [/spoiler] ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ でもインフレさせすぎるとなのか分かんないけど敵をボコりすぎるとどんどんFPSが落ちまくるのは何とかしてほしい……。 タイトルに戻れば治るので変な処理が悪さしてるっぽいです。

Originally I gave a negative review, but after giving it a second go after the latest patch, I am flipping my review to positive. Most of the bugs and performance issues at launch seem to be fixed, bringing the game to its full potential. This is a fast-paced movement shooter where you go from arena to arena, fighting successively harder bosses. Each boss is unique and has their own attack patterns. You beat the boss, he drops some loot, and move onto the next arena. Every few fights there's a rest area to sell your loot or buy better gear. A core mechanism is that each boss has a small window of time, typically right before they attack, where if you attack at the exact right moment, you can stun them and do lots of damage. In practice, this is pretty hard to do, especially since all your bullets have travel time so you have to time your shots. But it's extremely rewarding once you get good at hitting those timings. What makes each run unique is that there are a large variety of weapons, powerups, and character skills available. The weapons don't just have different stats, but also shoot and function differently. My favorite is probably the man-portable artillery cannon that fires super slowly but also does massive damage per shot. In short, if you like the idea of zooming around the level like an anime protagonist while over-the-top special effects fill your screen, then you'd probably like this game. ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW: _________________________________ In just over 2 hours of playtime, I have experienced several major bugs including one that soft-locked me from progressing. Peformance wise, framedrops are frequent, despite the liberal use and abuse of upscaling filters. Now the devs could have turned this around by fixing all these issues, but judging by the lack of updates in over two months, it appears that the game is abandoned and left in its current broken state. Which is a shame, because the overall design and game loop isn't all that bad.

This game is really good. The combat is fast paced, adrenaline fueled and looks extremely stylish and badass when you play it right. This game is extremely fun and underrated, and I love much of the character design. Skinner is one of my favs and deserves some more fanart. With the most recent patch, the game runs smooth as butter, making the gameplay extremely responsive. The comic-esque graphical style of this game really shines with the effects you see in combat which reflect actions such as parries or phase-breaks and it's a visual treat mixed with effective visual indictors as to what's going on. Passion from the devs around this project can be truly felt throughout it, and with the most recent update it's clear thy also value feedback. Great work
