I've worked at companies with much less working capital than the investments these devs received, and they still kept from mismanaging themselves to the brink. Now, at its swan dive update, this game has no multiplayer because it was apparently an afterthought that they might ever need to shift from servers to another method.

If you want to make an 'alright' game, you should at least devote resources early on to ensuring you run a reasonably sustainable business.

At this time with how they handled shuttering this game, I would not trust this studio's next attempt at a game to save themselves from closing.

eases you into the despair of dying 18 times trying to accomplish something simple versus the tark.

Edit: As promised, I'm changing this review to a thumbs up. The devs have now added a dedicated UI Radiation volume slider, which directly addresses the issue I raised. I'm genuinely grateful - not just on my own behalf, but for anyone who might’ve been bothered by the Geiger SFX and never felt comfortable saying anything.

To those who dismissed this or dogpiled the original thread with mockery: this wasn't about being dramatic or seeking attention. It was about making the game just a bit more accessible. The volume slider doesn’t hurt you, but it helps others - and that’s the entire point of features like this.

Thanks to Modern Wolf and the team for listening. I am looking forward to diving back into the game.

I've suggested this in the feedback channel for the discord, and on several steam update announcement posts, but be aware that if you have any degree of auditory sensitivity that there is a radiation "rads" sound effect mixed with some jarring high pitch click that the devs have decided to use for almost every UI interaction, which is extremely grating (for me).

There is no in-game setting to turn this off/adjust the volume of it individually, as it is tied to the slider for regular game sounds you would want/rely upon hearing when playing a game like this.

I honestly can't remember if this sound was in the game the entire time and I just grew to have my own issue, or if it came in one of the updates while I haven't been playing, but I cannot play with it present. Silly, I know, but I am not going to rely upon externally tweaking game settings every time this game updates to try and have an enjoyable experience again.

I actually really liked my time with this game, and came back to check out the new content I have been reading about, but just cannot do it as things stand right now. I have no idea how many people have the same weird brain as me, but It's really just an accessibility issue. The menu sounds should be on their own slider, not tied into a track for nearly all other game SFX in a "Master" track.

Have someone do a pass/overhaul of the audio settings & sliders to address this, and I'm happy to recommend it.

Attractive storybuilding with dispersed segments of atrocious combat & controls.

my realm now nerd

no i didnmt piss in my pants the monster did that to me

slightly less cutesy with its presentation than the suika game out on switch, but feels more varied and interesting with the choice of shape challenges etc. Add some daily rankings for folks and spruce up the UI a little and you take an already solid game and make it better than what it replicates. Good luck dev, I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

a love letter that almost helps you forget that RoR2 isn't actively worked on by Hopoo any longer
