And when they hatch, it's another randomizer to decide what passive you get."Neon Abyss: Infinite" is a roguelite game that integrates shooting and 2D platform jumping elements. The random passives you get through "eggs" is honestly a stupid mechanic alsdkfjasdf why couldn't they just be random items you just FIND in the game rather than just having an RNG-fest? xD That's right, the eggs themselves are RNG. The basic thought I had was: the guns are fun, items are not that memorable. I have no opinion on the item/gun versatility since I really haven't played for that long. Even learning what the enemy attack patterns are doesn't help much imo. Just feels like I have a rock tied to my ankle with bullets slapping me around. platformers limit your movement a lot because gravity so this just feels even worse not to have any I-frames, a way to clear bullets, and barely any telegraphing. Enter the Gungeon, Binding of Isaac, Hades), which gives you even more movement to begin with, usually come with bullet clearing and/or dodgerolls/dash or better telegraphing or slower bullets. Huh?Īnother thing: for a platformer AND a bullet hell, there's no built-in dash or a way to clear bullets with bullets that move WAY too fast and have like 0 telegraphing from the enemies. You tell yourself, "Oh I can jump to that platform." BZZZT nope! Gotta jump to THIS platform first by going BACKWARDS and THEN you can go forward. The game tells you not to destroy EVERY destroyable item because you might need them to get to an inaccessible area, so yeah, that's fine I guess? (Even though I think being able to destroy ♥♥♥♥ is fun and telling players not to destroy ♥♥♥♥ is kinda lame but I digress) Anyway, NORMAL platforming to get from one side to another just feels like ♥♥♥♥! It just feels like there isn't any love into the environmental design and it's just a victim to ♥♥♥♥♥♥ code to randomly generate a room. The jumping feels like ♥♥♥♥ because there are some platforms that you just can't jump to. Maybe this is a nitpick but the platforming is not that great. Maybe I'll give it a little more time and if I change my mind, I'll edit the review but for now my opinion is that it's kinda meh? And I love roguelikes and have played a good amount of them.
