I like the way it does the gun shoot stabby time magic thing. Wish multiplayer had the endless mode, and also wish more difficulties were unlocked from the start since the game can be a bit easy.

Got this because me and my two friends thought it looked cool. At first, potential disappointment because we thought it was limited to two players, but they just released an update that bumped it up to three players. I like this game because it feels like DMC/Bayonetta/Dante's Inferno and a little bit of Doom, but all in VR. The best part is that the visuals and controls are snappy as hell (pun intended) and you actually feel in control of your character's insane movements without it feeling corny at all.

An absolute must-have if you love multiplayer action games, and they're still delivering massive updates to this day. It's well-worth the money and one of the most fun experiences I've had in VR.

This is a pretty good roguelite but could be better. Most roguelites fall into one of two categories: 1) They understood the assignment. Upgrades are completely random. Sometimes you get screwed but sometimes you get crazy combos that break the game and are super fun to play. This type of roguelite is awesome and has tons of replay value. 2) They didn't understand the assignment. Upgrades are usually minor stat boosts that are drip-fed through the course of a run. You never really get screwed but you never get crazy loadouts, either. This type of roguelite is very repetitive and boring. Not much replay value. Hellsweeper is the rare roguelite that's halfway between these two types. The upgrades are usually minor stat boosts but there are some that change the gameplay up a bit. You can also collect a few minor stat boosts and then trade them in for a much stronger forge upgrade. You can also unlock some new weapons and upgrades by grinding which makes future runs a bit more interesting. Overall, it has more replay value and entertainment than the second type of roguelite but they could have gotten a bit crazier with it to make things even more interesting. I'd also like to note that the 2-player co-op is kind of a barebones version of the game, which is unfortunate. First of all, some level types (like the vault) and some choices (like whether you want to go to a shop at a particular point) are stripped out for a more railroaded experience. Second, it would have been a lot more interesting if keys and chests were client-side so that both players could upgrade as much as they wanted. Instead, you have to split the rewards which means your power level grows half as quickly as it would in single player (less than half, actually, since you don't have access to vaults which have tons of upgrades). Again, it's still an entertaining experience but it could have been even more interesting if it were reworked to have crazy power swings.

May 2024

Despite rumors of a bare bones launch and a plethora of issues, this game turned out to be probably my favorite fantasy combat game on the market. Despite a bit of nausea from all the flips and sick ass flips you're able to use to ABSOLUTELY STYLE ON the demons you're tearing apart, the game plays quite well. With a plethora of weapons, magic types and spell/item combinations that you can toss in your loadout, this game is a blast for anyone into intense VR combat. It's a decently designed rougelike as well, with plenty of interesting upgrades to play around with. Some abilities and powers are definitely a bit stronger than others, but that's to be expected. From simple damage and mana cost upgrades, to turning corpses into rocks to throw and summoning black holes from your hands, there's a playstyle for everyone.There's nothing quite like telekineticly holding two bows with one hand and loosing a flurry of flaming explosive arrows into a crowd while doing a slow-mo backflip after all. (Everything revolves back to stealth archer in the end...) While it IS a game earlier into it's development cycle, there should be much more coming from the devs. There's only a handful of enemies and bosses, and the stages tend to get a bit repetitive, but it's understandable. The game has great potential, which is better than what most AAA games have been giving lately. There is a FEW downsides I'd say could be a slight turn off for some people. (AKA the "OH MY GOD THIS MINOR ISSUE RUINS THE WHOLE GAME FOR MEEE" type of people.) Firstly, a complaint I have is that every once in a while some of the motions tend to conflict with each other. (ex. The downward force slam and pulling bullets without them on your waist or back) The movement can be a bit jank a times as well, but it flows well enough that I'm going to call it a skill issue on my part. Finally, I do wish we got a FEW more souls for a losing run, just because of the MASSIVE amount of skill upgrades in the game. I don't want to fully upgrade my revolver from two runs, but I'd like to at least make more than 350-ish after failing on the second floor or early in the 3rd from a lack of DPS or survivability on my part. I'd give this game a solid 8.5/10, But I'd only recommend it to those who have a good bit of experience in VR. This game WILL give you motion sickness even with some of the accessibility settings (Plus the sweet stuff is much better with all the restrictions turned off), so beware if you've got a weakness for trippy movements. (There's also multiplayer, but I've been waiting to get a buddy to buy the game before I can give an opinion on that, but twice the amount of magical bs sounds fantastic.)
