Fun and induces a "just one more round" feeling. New parts of the game will open up allowing for continued play as you advance. Several are unexpected.

In a time when everything releases with bugs and half-baked essentially half finished... StarVaders is a gem.

The art is great, the music is what you would expect as the soundtrack for a major anime film.

The unlocks are surprisingly abundant. Just when I think I have unlocked a majority of the items, an entirely new grouping of cards start unlocking.

The game is simplistic (In a good way) yet challenging and each game gives you the ability to make or break your deck build.

Even the story line, while it's minimal, it actually invokes some emotions and helps you get into the the spirit of the game.

Every aspect of this game screams of development excellence and a team dedicated to making a game people just have fun playing.

I cannot recommend this game enough. Buy it. You won't regret it!

Isaac graphics with a mini arena character builder. Hundreds of items, 62 different playable characters. Satisfying sounds effects and not bad music. 40 second rounds and 20 rounds in a game or go endless and see how long you live. Definitely worth the price

Chess meets Mech auto-battler. It's east to get the hang of and perplexing to master. This is really unlike any other game out there and the community is awesome! It's totally worth the price. If you aren't sure check out someone playing it on twitch. It's east to get the hang of and perplexing to master. You can't just buy some mech and slap them down, positioning is key!

- Hardcore community that is full of great people.
- 6 regional tournaments each week hosted within the game.
- The devs are super active and you will catch them playing all the time.
- The head developer "Bearlike" Streams and chats with the community on Twitch every week
- The micro-transactions are only cosmetics.

The only thing that would be cool is if the skins they had were actually skins instead of re-paints of the existing model, but I could understand how completely different models could throw some people off

Super fun rogue-lite with tons of creative meta-progression. Just when you think you are about to reach most of the unlocks, a whole new part of the game unlocks. It is bullet hell, but limited bullet-hell IMO as the battles are quick and there are good breaks between.

It's currently my go to game for a fun chill rogue-lite dungeon crawl

Positives:
+ Huge number of characters with unique abilities
+ Hundreds (soon, most likely, thousands) of items and loads of enchantments (Prefixes)
+ Many worlds (level variants) to explorer
+ Amazing build potentials with meta interactions between traits and items
+ Will keep you playing with that "just one more run" addictive fun
+ Quick games 30-45 minutes to complete a run
+ Very active dev that interacts with the community and is very open to suggestions
+ Fun sound track

Negatives:
- Could have more tool tips to better explain items (but this is getting much better)
- Sometimes it's hard to tell what effects and attacks are friendly vs what are enemy
- A couple items have some annoying sound effects, but it's bound to happen with so many unique sounds in an 8bit world

This game is so awesome. Simple yet incredibly in-depth. If you ever have wanted to MMO raid and heal, but don't want to waste time LFG or breaking through to a boss or waiting for spawns, you HAVE to play this. It is worth every penny of the price. You will thank your future self for buying this game now.
