I've been waiting for someone to start this topic... instead of me. I'm big into this game. The trailers did nothing to sell me this game. If anything the trailers made me avoid the game. However, I bought it for $1.50 and I'm 10 hours into it.
The game is a fantastic combination of Zelda 1 and Smash TV. Shooting in 4 directions while running in 4 directions. A bomb button an item button and a secondary item button.
The basements (levels) are very reminiscent of Zelda 1 palaces. Only randomly generated. There is an extremely diverse array of enemies, multi teired enemies, and even amped up versions of enemies. Bosses, treasure rooms, special rooms and so on. Just like Zelda.
The randomness is a big selling point to this. Along with the fact there's no guide so all 50 items you get, and 50 secondary items like pills and tarot cars, you need to figure out what they do yourself.
The art style is adorably disturbing. Poop on the floor, fetuses, blood, empty bleeding eye sockets, tears and so on. Its really interesting and the fact there are 50 enemies makes for a really great game.
