The devs deserved better.

(And the game is awesome, just take it!)

We did it !
We can now all spread managed democracy!
For Super Earth !

Bring this game back to life, I would gladly buy a founder pack if it were to come back.
This is the last "ennemy territory" we get before a while, or just the last, so, I'd love to see it brought back, with lots of peeps, and stuff to mess around with.

For people who don't know the game, its fast paced, objective based, class based shooter, You have a couple of scenarios like bomb planting, cart pushing, escort phases, and more, you have a couple of secondary objective to make your objective easier, blocking reinforcements, shortcuts, and more.
The only issue that this game had is the lack of micro transactions like skins shoppin', so it couldn't sustain itself, and the lack of public as well.
Atm, there's a couple a servers live, give it a go, and enjoy your stay.

So, tl;dr, game with great potential, which makes it kinda great, but it does have downsides.
Also I wanted to get most of the game's content before writing this, but you have to farm a lot with the little content before getting the rest.
Neon Abyss, is a rogue-lite(Kill stuff, loot stuff and get rekt) but some gameplay decisions are curious.
First, the game handles the rogue-lite stuff pretty well, you don't have to rely much on RNG, you can still get ressources with various tools, all weapons are beyond broken as long as you get items, so git gud and you're good to go.
Then the game replayability is okay, you often see the same room patterns early in the game, but you'll get to see more later on the game by unlocking the game's features.

So yeah, it's pretty fun on that part but...
Enemy variety is pretty low, at least, for the first 20 hours, I think I managed to see something 70% of the enemy pool, but it's often the same thing, small flying melee, big flying melee, flying ranged, flying "minelayer", "slimes", crabs and etc...
They differ a little, but they only get variants, like, weaker, stronger, has contact damage and etc... But mostly, it's the same enemies.
The issue is not really this, but it's the very same encounters from Level 1 to 9. You don't feel like really progressing.
The enemies are not themed, it feels like the same level over and over, but it gets harder and harder.
Also, everything deals one half of damage, but when you get to the level 5 everything deals 1 full heart of damage including your bombs or evironment, there's nothing with varying damage, like, an elite doing more damage, or something.

Following this, the game is punishing, not like you would expect.
Enemies are spawning instantly, without any visible warning, I mean, they spawn like this, and immediatly attack you, or worse, you'll get an enemy with contact damage spawning ON you. It doesn't feel fair, you get damaged for no reason, and it's just feel frustrating like another enemy who throws grenades while trying to teleport on you without telegraphs. Especially when you try to get a wisdom portal.

The game pace is ... well, I can't tell if it's really bad or not.
What I mean by pace, is how fast you get to see new content, spoiler alert, It's really slow, the game feels short, and the unlockables feels little, you have to defeat 5 bosses to get a single item, and that's only for the first branch, and it gets longer and longer. Yes it does add longetivity to the game, but it doesn't feel that rewarding, because the default item pool and room presets are really small.
Well I guess it's a little bad after all.

And then that depends on the person, but you get overpowered really fast and easily, most items are items that improve your guns and add stats (damage, RoF, Range, Multishot...), so even your starting weapon can be Godlike. Bosses feel like ads, and they are not really impactful, but Hal and Argus, who feels like bosses but are still weak because of itemization.

Despite all of this, I think the game is cool, pretty and colorful, and I will continue the game, BUT I don't recomend it, unless you are patient, because alot of things are frutrating, but if you manage to get past that you'll get well rewarded with an overpowered caracter and a succesful run.

PS: Oh also, we are on pc why do we have simplified keybindings >:c
Give my dodge roll on another key than use !

This game this deserves a better treatment from the gaming community, sure it's not for everyone, the game has it's own gimmicks, but it doesn't deserves such ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the game designing is great, there is even some lore behind the world and the characters, the gameplay is really enjoyable it has some mobas dynamics, tps charm, and exotic stuff. The TTK is correct, you can die pretty quickly and pretty slowly, because some characters are tanky, some are squishy but hits hard like a truck, and etc... My point of view is not that detailled, but well, it's a game that need some love, and people who actually like the game doesn't necessarily write evaluations, so well, here is my "thumbs up" and try the game, you might not like it, but it's worth the try, give it some time, and try to understand the game mecanics, it's important, otherwise, you might not like the game. Anyway good luck out there, and do give some thoughts on the game behavior, it's important to understand in order to enjoy the game well.

Challenge, histoire, gameplay, pixel-art et badassitude absolue. Et des katanas, surtout des katanas et du git gud en boucle. Gr8 gaem, and else, vaut son prix si vous êtes satisfait par les critères cités au dessus c:

Well, this recommandation has to be done, because of the current rating of the game it might makes people run away from the game.
Spacelords (A.K.A. Raiders of the broken planet) is a third person shooting game with some interesting and fun mechanics.
The game has a great lore including a lot of humor because of the characters who are crazy peeps saving the broken planet.
Since the F2P the game deserves to get more player, because this is mostly an original game, gather some friends or randoms and get started on challenging levels with elites that will brawl you to death.
While you are reading this recommandation you noticed that I'm awful to recommend stuff, but still try the game even if the rating is bad or even if the other are telling you have to grind that much, because the game is evolving they might remove some mean things and they will add more stuff obviously.
Have a nice day ! c:

Jeu très bien pensé, beaucoup de personnes "pleurent" par rapport à la RNG mais quand vous gérez très bien votre équipe vous êtes littérallement RNG proof, ce jeu possède des concepts très sympatiques tel que le stress généré par les personnages et que le jeu nous donne l'impression de rogue-like même si c'est pas trop le cas, ce mélange hybride nous donne un jeu qui veux notre mort, mais nous prouverons notre valeur en conquérant de ses niveaux, jouez intelligement et vous vaincrez le jeu, n'écoutez pas les RNG slaves. btw GIT GUD d'avance :D

Des gros flingues, des gros démons, du gamplay old school avec quelques retouches next-gen, c'est super!
Cette évaluation est très briève et révéle certainement rien du jeu, je l'ai faite juste parceque j'aime le jeu et que c'est pour le steam award, Bonne journée !
