Sehr solide! Cooler Artstyle, sehr kreative Levels und nette Atmosphäre

Erfindet das Genre nicht neu und gegen Ende merkt man leider dass die Levels nachträglich geadded wurden, da sie storytechnisch komplett zusammenhangslos hintereinandergesetzt werden, aber für einen Boomer Shooter hat es die perfekte Länge und genug visuelle Abwechslung um nicht zu nerven

Lief okay auf dem Steamdeck

7/10

Rating: ★★★★★ - Amazing
Time Played: 9.1 hours
Difficulty: Normal

Gameplay:
• Fast-paced Boomer Shooter with an emphasis on creative Lovecraftian weaponry and frantic combat similar to Doom Eternal.
• Fluid controls and satisfying gunplay; most weapons feel impactful and fun to use.
• The insanity meter mechanic adds a unique layer to combat, though I personally preferred the passive abilities.
• Varied level design balances chaotic encounters (some claustrophobic) with moments to catch your breath.

Story/Dialogue:
• The Lovecraftian-inspired narrative is engaging but doesn’t take itself too seriously, fitting the pulpy horror aesthetic.
• Internal Monologue that complements the action without slowing it down, though the story isn't the main focus and the dialogue can come across as cheesy.
• The overall tone of the game blends dark humour with eerie vibes, keeping it entertaining.

Graphics/Music:
• Striking hand-drawn comic book art style that stands out and adds to the surreal, horror-laden atmosphere.
• Environments are dripping with personality, though some textures can feel overused.
• The soundtrack is adrenaline-pumping, blending heavy metal with eerie undertones. So good that I've gone out of my way to purchase.
• Sound effects, especially weapon sounds, are punchy and add to the immersion.

Before you Play:
• This game is just as good as the first one. Feel free to get both.
• Don’t be afraid to experiment with different weapons; There are some weapon variants that are better than others to take down each enemy.
• Look out for secret\hidden areas; they often have health, ammo, or tokens (used for buying weapon variants).
• Keep moving during combat; staying still is a quick way to get overwhelmed.

Really cool game, a lot of improvements from the first! Great atmosphere during all the game
