    A good and moderately complex game for the genre of "Rogue-lite".
    of the advantages I can note beautiful and vivid graphics, cool sounds, complex bosses and cool mechanics with artifacts.
    The game also supports up to 4 players per 1 pc, so if you have a couple of friends, you can have fun together. Of the minuses: A small number of bugs, for me personally there are not enough enemies    A good and moderately complex game for the genre of "Rogue-lite".

    Ok, so this is a twin stick shooter, like Enter the Gungeon, but not quite as good. It does have the brilliant idea of players picking up items that handicap them rather than help them, and the worse you are handicapped the better items you can trade them in for when you finally find a shop.

However, the levels feel way too cramped, I suffered way too many unavoidable deaths, and didn’t get a sense of any meaningful progression in the game or in my skills that I experienced in Enter the Gungeon. It seemed like it would suck up many hours to beat, but wasn’t worth the time. Considering I only paid $2 for this, I give it 7/10. But I’ve spent roughly $2 on better switch games: Caveblazers, Mutant Mudds, Downwell, Gonner, Dadish 1&2, Broforce, Mother Russia Bleeds, to name a few.....… Expand

    Risk-reward mechanics find a colorful ally in Blazing Beaks. This indie roguelike offers great replayability and a very fun local multiplayer.

    Blazing Beaks is a good first venture into console games for Applava. This team clearly loves the twin-stick roguelike genre, and despite needing some fine-tuning, I enjoyed my time with it. With just a few tweaks, this would be a solid recommendation to fans of the genre.

    Blazing Beaks was a nice little surprise and I thoroughly recommend it for fans of the genre. It loses a few points in my eyes for a rather bland soundtrack and a complete lack of narrative. Overall, though, it’s a fun little game and worthy to sit among the others.
