OK, but hear a Veteran Dad Gamer out.
Sat Jul 08 2023 AeosystemThis is the one lads, if you’re looking for a mobile rogue like bullet heaven you found it and so did I. Think Enter the Gungeon mixed with Vampire Survivors, but done right and clearly with a lot of love. The game right now is a tad simplistic and doesn’t take long to learn all of the combos of upgrades; but I hope we will be getting some nice content updates in the future. AS FOR THE ADS, you can watch one at the beginning of a round for two free upgrades but there are NONE forced on you, as far as I’ve seen. The cash shop seems fairly priced on the packages and the characters that you can buy are only a dollar. Also one last thing, I find it helpful to go in options and turn on contrast, makes a little outline appear on enemies and trees, they can get really hard to see when I’m pumping out 420^69 bullets a second.
Fun but needs some improvement
Tue Dec 27 2022 MememasterchefThe game itself is really solid. Level up mechanics are great and leads to a different experience each time you play the game. Every character is fun, and I got every achievement in the free version before I decided to buy the full version. But, the most fun character is the first one you get. This is solely due to the triple level up effect buff that she gets. It gives the player the most choice and allows for some crazy stuff fun shenanigans that you can experiment with in each new run. It alone accounts for the most replay ability value. This is why this buff should be available for every character in some way. Make it a random drop that, or add a new mini boss that could drop it for any character. Add a new difficulty that makes the addition balanced. The triple, or even just a double, effect makes each game far more chaotic (in a good way), and this would make an endless mode (which should be added irrespective of this review) even more fun.
Also wish there was a level 20 darkness. since the game itself is called 20 minutes till dawn it’s kinda weird the hardest difficulty is 15 and not 20.
Despite my gripes, the game already has hours upon hours of fun content to get lost in. Appreciated the Christmas monster costumes too, love Easter eggs like that. Really great game and look forward to updates to come.
Great game, needs some tweaking
Mon Jan 16 2023 TKFCKYThis game is one of the best in its special niche genre because it offers great perks that have cool synergies, and it offers short enough game times for a bus ride or something like that. Also, any ads it shows are ones the player chooses to watch instead of random ads, so that’s quite nice. However, a couple of things bring down the experience slightly: The second boss is obnoxious, and its design completely clashes with how you’re supposed to play the game. The boss arena corrals you into one small area that quickly fills up with enemies, making it impossible to dodge, meaning you are forced to take damage and leave this arena, or else die. Also, this boss has a charge attack, where he runs towards you at high speeds. Since shooting your gun slows you down, if you are shooting at the wrong time, he will inevitably hit you since his hitbox is enormous and he charges such a distance. He should either be tweaked to be less powerful or removed entirely in my opinion. Secondly, I feel like the inclusion of unlimited respawns has removed a lot of the feeling of accomplishment that used to be in the game, since there are literally no penalties for dying anymore. I understand that the devs implemented this to make more money, but it hinders the satisfaction of beating a level.
One of the best but…
Fri Jun 09 2023 player two342567366354Aright so this game is one of the best mobile game I’ve played to this day it is fun fluid amazing the game design is amazing and fits the vibe it seems it is going for but… there are a few things that well makes it a little less fun such as the fact you can take damage out of nowhere when you are completely safe (I checked ok its not just me or anything) some of the characters abilities just don’t help and/or are just useless. weapons could all have a buff to them they sound cool but the only one I use cause it is just better is the revolver aright I'm done ranting now a small thing that I feel the game should have is a endless mode I have beaten the game and had this op build and its just gone plz ad a endless mode
It’s a blast 🤘🏽😜♥️
Wed Nov 16 2022 Notorious M.I.T.Fun graphics, love the simple palate and the selection of accent colors, fun power ups, a variety of weapons and characters to try, it scratches your “top down shooter” itch. Yes there are ads, but they’re placed in tasteful spots not hindering gameplay, if you’re good you won’t really need to watch an ad. I would love to have this on my Nintendo Switch.
The increase in difficulty with heavier hordes is fun, replay ability feels pretty high. Even after finding a hero that feels a little over powered, it’s still pretty fun and wouldn’t mind playing through with the other characters and weapons combos. The dragon egg and dragon are a tad big and can be mistaken as an enemy 😆 but that’s a tad bit of trade off for its assistance I guess.
5.5/10
Fri Mar 17 2023 IrationsssThis game is great and all, but I have a few problems with it.
My first problem is that most of the guns are way too underpowered, and all of that power that is supposed to be in those guns is all put in the shotgun, revolver, and grenade launcher. What I want is all guns to be equally powerful.
My second problem is that you can rebirth an infinite amount of times. (I think) It kind of defeats the whole purpose of trying to survive, because when you die, all you have to do is watch a short ad and then you’re back up at max health.
My last problem is that the shotgun is way too overpowered. I know it can deal some real damage in real life, but once you get some upgrades and other stuff, you can basically tear through piles and piles of flesh.
TL:DR - Good game, but most guns are underpowered, you can just revive infinitely after you die, and please nerf the shotgun.
Fun and Challenging
Sun Dec 25 2022 IronNinja0#1I play a lot of rouge like survival games and was intrigued by the graphics of this game. With the pixelated art style set in a a lovecraftian type setting I got hooked really quick and stayed because of the game play.
I will say the amount of times you can die and have to watch ads to continue can really upset the flow once you get into a rhythm however the amount of unique upgrades does helps keep you engaged as you eventually get so leveled up that it does become even more fun to experiment with the upgrades they give you.
If your looking for a fun easy to pick up but hard to master rouge like game to play this one should definitely scratch that itch for you
So much fun!!!!
Sat Oct 21 2023 Lycokid_SCRATCHI love this game and see nothing wrong with it! It isn’t like those stereotypical mobile games where you need to watch a 30 seconds-1 minute adds and still have to watch adds even AFTER paying to not see any! You can choose to watch adds to gain rewards and you can choose from a variety of weapons and good skins that comes with pros and cons to get you thinking!The game really makes you need to think about what you need to do and requires a lot of skills. I also love the fact that there is a mini round for if you don’t have 20 minutes. I can’t wait for even more future updates!!!
Such a good game, just one complaint
Sat Feb 04 2023 IzoPezoI’ve been waiting for another actually challenging mobile rouge-like. It’s nice and nostalgic and the character designs are really nice! The characters are fun and unique and the guns are all good in their own way.
Now here’s my complaint: I just wish there was more ways to heal, it’s super difficult to maintain health and the enemies are super overwhelming depending on what skills you pick. The health up buff is nice however adding an health-point, however I wished there was a little more than killing 500 enemies or surviving 90 seconds. However this game is still new so i’m not docking any points! Just a suggestion!
Great game, Glaring issues
Fri May 05 2023 ill webIt’s a really great game and my personal favorite for these types of hoard shooters, but it seems as though not a single dev has actually tested any characters and weapons, switching from a smg to the bat launcher may aswell just be switching difficulty, it’s insane how much harder it is just by switching to the bat or flame gun and it makes it feel like they couldn’t even bother to test them to make them atleast relatively all decent. The same can be said for some of the characters aswell however it’s definitely not as bad as the weapons it’s just laughable how easy it is win with the shotgun grenade launcher and shotgun, but near impossible to even get past 10 minutes with the bat gun or flame launcher without having an OP character or simply getting lucky.
