    Anyone who gets a kick out of rogue-lite gameplay, who’s not afraid of a challenge, and who digs sci-fi shooters may find serious satisfaction within the first few minutes.

    This shooter is a pretty good surprise, since it adds some unexpected tactic elements to the gameplay to offer an interesting and not-so-arcade experience.

    A tightly designed, fast-paced, top-down roguelite, Synthetik will no doubt entertain for hours. With the release of the new Legion Rising free update, there’s even more to enjoy.

    - Amazing graphics, sound.
    - Awesome UI and weapons, items... - they separate the reloading action into 2 parts, eject

    - they separate the reloading action into 2 parts, eject ammo clip and reload. Brilliant idea.

    A smartly designed Twinstick Roguelite with tactical gameplay, fun classes, motivating meta progression and an awesome weapons system.

    I'd give it a 9, but that 1-point review from a user who gave Dishonored 2 a 1, Dark Souls II a 2, Hollow Knight a 4 and The Witness a 4 needs to be countered.

    Gripping top-down combat with a retro feel. Better shared with friends, just wish it could be more than one.

    Highly recommended to anyone who has never had their balls waxed and wants to experience the feeling, you'll often feel something similar whenHighly recommended to anyone who has never had their balls waxed and wants to experience the feeling, you'll often feel something similar when playing this game.

    The combat is satisfying, it takes some time to learn, but once you get a hang of it, you'll be styling on the enemies. Everything is pretty tight, and if you die, you know why - no bullcrap, you screw up, you die, you do well, you slaughter everything. There's lots of options - different classes with different modifiers, which you can also swap around to tailor the character exactly like you want it, loads of guns, all of them useful one way or another, you have the option to tailor the difficulty with a variety of options pretty much all of which have an impact on how you will be able to engage enemies (not just easy/normal/hard/very hard meaning more hp for the enemies or some such crap) etc.

    Graphics are great. It's not a technical marvel, but the style of the game is awesome, the various effects and the trails of carnage you leave along the locations as you slaughter your way through will make you feel satisfied, the simple and clear GUI is very fitting, easy to navigate and use.

    Sound design is great overall, weapons sound punchy, the distorted electronic voices of your enemies are fitting, there is a variety of sound and musical cues that you will pick up really quickly, but music is a bit too bland and subdued overall, which is a damn shame and possibly the only weak point of the game.

    Anyways, I'm not even close with being done with the game, looks to have some 100 hours of content, perhaps even more, so if you are into the €/hour thing, this is a great value proposition.
