    Another one of these games where the dev does not respect your time.

    It has only 4 maps and you'll see these smallish maps over and over again, because you'll die. You'll die a lot.

    That means, you'll die very often, your progress is really minimalistic. You can spend hours not seeing more than the first two maps over and over again.

    You will lose all your gear and buffs and items when you die, and there is just a CHANCE you'll get your last used weapon again.

    Its basically a gambling-simulator, dressed as a poor mans Borderlands.

    The little content there is, is not bad for the first hour, but gets extremely boring and repetitive after that. Because you'll do the same thing, over and over again. With no real progress (and keep in mind, after you die, you'll basically start from scratch, with only minimalistic improvements to your skills!)

    You don't have a inventory-system, nor do you have any sort of stash you can put your collections in. Weapon-carry-limit of only two weapons makes this feel even more like a early 2000 mobile-game.    … Expand

    Un indé du type ‘rogue’ qui consiste à recommencer sans cesse les mêmes niveaux et/ou mêmes boss puisqu’on y meurt… très régulièrement ! et si vous échouez près du boss (ce qui s’avère très probable, vu comment il triche….) vous devrez recommencer au tout début des cinq ‘niveaux’ précédents ! le boss est en effet au… sixième niveau !

    Juste pour vous faire chier, évidemment mais c’est là    Un indé du type ‘rogue’ qui consiste à recommencer sans cesse les mêmes niveaux et/ou mêmes boss puisqu’on y meurt… très régulièrement ! et si vous échouez près du boss (ce qui s’avère très probable, vu comment il triche….) vous devrez recommencer au tout début des cinq ‘niveaux’ précédents ! le boss est en effet au… sixième niveau !

    Juste pour vous faire chier, évidemment mais c’est là le caractère intrinséque des daubes du genre rogueprout, à réserver aux masochistes et/ou aux crevards qui n’ont que ça à jouer (les pauvres…). Pour le reste, ça ressemble beaucoup à un vieux Bordel lands mais sans ce qui fait et ce qui a fait les fameux Bordel lands !

    A savoir donc que c’est un truc vite fait mal fait qui n’a que ses mécaniques de grind pour lui, héritées directement des pires free to pay en la matière… oui, c’est dire les doses d’ennui que cet étron indé va vous procurer ! vendu 20 balles quand même (sur consoles), ça fait cher pour se faire chier ! d’autant qu’évidemment, l’étron est en 256 couleurs et ne ressemble vraiment… à rien !    … Expand

    This game has everyhing I love in roguelite FPS. It's fun, has an addictive game loop, and "supports" 4 player co-op (read on to understand why supports is in quotations); unfortunately, it is a buggy mess which crashes constantly (read: every run; playing at a LAN we were unable to finish a run without a crash). This is unacceptable of a game considered "full release". If it wasn'tThis game has everyhing I love in roguelite FPS.

This is unacceptable of a game considered "full release". If it wasn't given away "for free" on Xbox Gamepass, I would be requesting a refund.
    As an added bonus, the game cannot save any of your game/video/audio/keymap settings (they reset each time you reboot the game); and occasionally, the game swaps languages on you (I hope you speak French).
    Do NOT waste your time on this mess.    … Expand

    The first run or two is fun but once you beat it not much changes. Weapons, scrolls, and inscriptions are all horribly imbalanced (some are completely useless and some pretty much guarantee victory). Overall, it’s REALLY overhyped. Player skill sadly does not play a large role in how successful a run will be, you get good RNG you beat the game every time guaranteed.

    Gunfire Reborn offers a solid mix of roguelite progression, creative weapons, and fun hero abilities, making it a good pick for fans of loot-focused first-person shooters. Its low system requirements and co-op gameplay further enhance its accessibility, and it makes for a great Steam Deck experience. However, the highly repetitive level design is a weakness that can’t be ignored. While expansions and seasonal systems add variety, they feel like compensation for the bland environments rather than a true fix. Overall, it’s a good game that is enjoyable, but not without some flaws that stop it short of greatness.

    Gunfire Reborn has great gunplay, huge variety in builds, and a formula as simple as it is immediate: you get in, you shoot, you hope to get to the end. It might not sound like much, but it’s more than enough to make Duoyi’s game incredibly compelling and almost addictive.
