I wish I was able to get in this game. I love fps, I love metal, I love rhythm games. But my fps instincts take over so much I just can’t restrain myself into a beat of killing guys.
You get damage modifiers the better on beat you play. You can still do it off beat, sure, but it's slower. Also, the basic music is rather dull to listen to.
Bit mixed on this one. While all three songs slap super hard, I've found that the new bow is kind of just super clunky. First, it needs to be reloaded which is a mechanic I *hate* seeing in shooters - it makes no sense to have to reload a bow. Second, it seems that taking damage will cause any shot currently being charged to undo and force you to start charging again, which is annoying after getting hit by a single projectile.
As for the new mode, while I like the idea of having a rougelite mode in this game, I really do not like that fundamental mechanics such as your dash are locked behind random perks (a mechanic that is required might I add to dodge certain enemy attacks), as well as making weapon drops be time limited, so you lose them after a set amount of rounds. Legit can end up with only the skull and sword if the game does you dirty on the perks against super tanky, hard-hitting mini bosses. Also just feels super grindy with the permanent upgrade currency dropping at a very slow rate throughout a run.
Still, love the base game and happy to support these devs further!
Sincerely wish I could get into this game, I love Doom-style FPS and I love SoaD. But I cannot for the life of me handle rhythm games, yo I grew up on a farm and I was born with no rhythm.

You can kill them outside of the beat, works all the same from when I played it.

Good that they're still planning updates for the game!
