    There might be something fun somewhere in Into The Pit, but after several hours in the game, I sure haven't found it. It's been a long time since I experienced combat this unimaginative. I've maybe never seen upgrades this worthless. All wrapped up in a world where nothing is readable and it wouldn't look good even if it was. Into The Pit can go Into The Bin.

    Into The Pit stumbles in two major areas: gameplay and progression. Fundamentally, it's "Quake but with bad visual design and worse level design?" and the progression is such a convoluted, grinding, unrewarding waste of time that the game seems to WANT you to stop playing it. We're immediately grinding for 'motes' which serve a variety of unclear functions, none of which improve theInto The Pit stumbles in two major areas: gameplay and progression.

We're immediately grinding for 'motes' which serve a variety of unclear functions, none of which improve the gameplay to the point of tolerability. You know those games that give you upgrade options like "Your projectiles move %1 faster" when projectile speed is functionally irrelevant? This is that.… Expand

    I have a great fondness for roguelikes, but this one puts me in a weird place. Mechanically, Into The Pit is a welcome throwback to classic FPS games with the added twist of randomized elements to keep things interesting. However, the pool of random elements is too shallow and there are not enough interesting combinations to keep all but the most dedicated players interested.

    Into the Pit is a retro FPS/roguelike that's far less than the sum of its parts. It's got great action, but everything that surrounds it is questionable.

    It’s a fast paced shooter, that feels really tight as a first person shooter. It’s meant to be played in fast bursts, so maybe it’s the perfect exciting thing to get you pumped while commuting on the bus. Or the kind of game where you breeze through the dialogue, turn off the sound and play while listening to a 25 hour audiobook. Into the Pit is a well-constructed roguelike shooting game and if you’re the kind of person who hears those words and yells, “I’m sold!” then you will probably have a lot of fun. But it’s not going to make believers out of genre-skeptics.
