    Waited for the physical release after seeing this, and boy was I glad I picked it up! Game is fantastic the music the gameplay, the way it looks, everything! Some getting use to with the controls and somewhat small text in handheld but this game is a blast!

    This is not an easy game but you will enjoy the music, the style and different amount of weapons.

    Set on a 80's backdrop, Black Future '88, has synth music, pixel graphics and brutal difficulty....but with a twist. As you climb the tower and earn points you can visit vendors to get cheats to help you ascend to the top. Can you make it? Worth purchasing if you like fast paced action games and a challenge. Also wasn't released in large quantities as far as I can tell, so be aware. Recommended.

    Bought the game mainly for it's awesome EDM soundtrack, but the game is fun to play too, but it may not be for everyone due to it's rogue-like nature and it being very short on game length, so your mileage may very.

    I enjoy this type of bullet hell game. The graphics are mesmerizing and gameplay is tight. Some areas are procedurally generated so it can be unfair at times. A blast from the past type game.

    Game was pretty difficult and I lost interest quickly. If you’re buying this you’ve already done your research. Metroidvania style where levels are procedurally generated. I’ve learned that’s just not my thing. But I do think the game is visually gorgeous.

    If your a fan of pixelated game and DeadCell fan this would fit the bill for another similiar game type. So if you haven't played DeadCells this is a good way to start with modern twist to the game play. Make sure to pickup much items and drops to increase your power.

    Fun game but extremely confusing. Not much is explained to the player, even for a rogue like. There are accessibility options that turn off some of the more annoying things, although that makes the game extremely shallow.

    I don’t know what to say about this game. I like it and it very tough game but that the good thing the more you die the more it keep me playing. You have to make it to the up of the tower and when you Die you start from the bottom and work your way up. Good game overall
